: ※ 引述《lerudit (l'Erudit)》之铭言:
: : There is nothing to complain really. Similar situations can also happen in
: : Taiwan. People can talk in Taiwanese but leave some others only understanding
: : Chinese alone.
: (我英文不好,我试图了解你的意思...)
: 不过在台湾通常是一个讲台语的与讲国语的也能沟通,哈...
I hope so.
I wish the status of the two languages in Taiwan would be like Flemish and
French in Belgium.
: : This is not true. What are the Asia boundaries you recognise?
: : How about Singapore? India? Hong Kong? Philippines?
: : In fact, Taiwanese TOEFL language test results were quite bad....
: : (probably still better than the football rank...)
: : I am not saying anyone is bad however,
: : but if you say Asian's English is commonly not good, then they could say
: : no, for my experience, XXX are very good.... and YYY and ZZZ all very good...
: : Then, you will stand in em...barr...ass...ment...
: 香港、新加坡、印度、菲律宾英文好有历史因素,就像台湾被日本统治好长一段时间,
: 至今仍有不少老人会说日文是一样的道理。况且这几个国家加起就可以代表整个
: 亚洲吗?不是嘛对不对?也许我应该修改成「在台湾没有这回事」,这样比较没有
: 语病。
Well, I understand the historic factors roughly. However, this is not the
point of the argument.
The four countries cannot represent the whole Asia, and neither does Taiwan
individually.
Have you played GRE ever?
What statement can weaken 'Asian's English is generally not good.'?
: 题外话:
: 英文是很重要没错,但是讲的好像每人都有义务应该要精通就有点令人反感,
: (我以前碰过一个英文老师也这麽认为)
: 我在丹麦车站看到有个东欧来的英文讲的比我还差,但是我并不歧视他...
No no... It is absolutely up to you.
You can just choose not to bother English, the language, at all.
I won't treat you differently at all.
However, if there is anybody wants to learn whatever foreign language in
their childhood, just leave them freely to learn.
Do not stop or prevent them from learning and give some stupid excuses.
(For example, to learn English too early would make confusion...)
I might get confusion between Taiwanese and Chinese at some rare chances.
However, the gain from mastering the two languages are much more worthy than
not to confuse between them due to only learning one of them.
This is quite easy to understand and there are so many people in the world
can speak more than three languages.
Ironically, those who usually object to learn foreign language in early
ages are mostly from the education system...
