※ 引述《ShiningRuby (闪亮红宝石女王)》之铭言： : 说到这个, : 我觉得很感慨.... : 我现在在美国念书,课余以教钢琴餬口. : 以下是发生在我钢琴学生身上的事. : 这个女生十岁,爸妈是大陆来的,在美国生下她,所以她是标准ABC. : 她应该会讲一点中文,不过我从没听她讲过, : 我们是用英文上课,我跟他的家长也都是讲英文. : 有一天上课时我示范新的曲子给她听, : 她问:"为什麽你只是视奏就弹这麽好?" : 我:"因为我已经弹25年的钢琴啦!如果你认真弹钢琴弹25年,你也可以像我这样." : 本来我还在为我的机会教育小小得意中, : 没想到我学生竟然接着问: : "那我爸妈来美国也已经二十几年了,为什麽他们讲英文的口音还是很重?" : 他问我的语气就是一副很受不了爸妈的破英文的样子.... : 我也愣住不知道要怎样回答,後来我说: : "这不一样啊,你爸妈的第一语言不是英文,所以你不能期待他们能讲得跟美国人一样, : 就像你的中文应该也不好吧?" : 她挺直腰杆说"拜托,我是在这里出生的!" ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Is there anything wrong for this?? You said her Chinese was not good and she tried to find some excuse. She was born in US, so she must have attended US school. This is a reasonable excuse for her poor Chinese. : 言下之意就是她跟她爸妈不一样,她是美国人. It is really different. She grew up in a very different environment comparing to her parents. If her answer upset you, that is because she does not know the nature of language learning. As a teacher, you cannot expect a 10-year-old kid has a very mature mind. : 我不知道她为什麽会对她爸妈的口音如此不以为然, : 但看她这样,一股莫名的感伤就在我心中油然而生...... Do not imply too much... a suggestion. By the way, some Chinese couple might only speak Chinese to each other at home. This can also slow down their progress in learning a new language. Some children might be born in a Chinese family; however, they can also stay a few hours per day with their classmates and teachers. So, nothing surprised. I am interested that so many people blaming the little girl. Suppose a ABC must respect their origins and their parents native language, how can we Taiwanese ask those Chinese immigrants to speak good Taiwanese? and tease those politicans failing to do that? Isn't that a sort of racism? Isn't that a human right for a person to admire their nation and native language? although they might be different from their parents' or other people sharing a skin colour. --
