考虑到板上或许有英语不太好的朋友
我在此为我的言语做中英翻译
※ 引述《JessicaH (卡卡猫)》之铭言:
: government's policy offers multi-national companies a lot benefits to set up
: regional hub here. Language and system follow British way/standard is another
: incentive as well.
: Language ability wise, my experience shows me either English / Chinese
: they conduct at work, just at OK level, can't count as pretty in general.
这个我不完全否认
因为要执行双语的教育制度真的并不容易
不是每一个人都有语言天分可以精通双语
我们总会无形地取舍
也和家里主要的语言有很大的关系
I'm not going to refute this point.
It's tough to implement a bilingual education system effectively
Not everyone's a linguist
Not everyone is able to master more than one language
Most of us will subconsciously be more adept at the language
that we use more frequently at home
especially the one that is the main language at home
amongst the adults when we were growing up
: Language and culture norm are related to each other,
: if Singaporean in general are not good in either, it leads to lack of culture.
: I didn't study in Singapore, but it looks like they read a lot of Chinese/
: Engish materials at school but in real life not much spiritual value
: the same time don't think out of the box as much as Taiwanese people do.
: If this counts as part of so called culture.
: As this is the successful way to survive in this society.
: Singaporeans are proud and lost in their identity if you get to know them
: better, part of the ego comes from low self-esteem as their grand parents
: are working class, but proud at the same time they made this country so
打工仔有甚麽不好的
你我现在还不是打工的
那麽我推断你的自卑感一定很高
难道所有其他国家的人都没有干过苦功吗?
难道其他国家所有的人一生出来就口含银汤匙吗?
你这麽说未免太敷衍了事
What's wrong with being working class?
Aren't we part of them now?
So I presume you have low self-esteem as well
You mean other countries never had working classes?
Or that every citizen was born with a silver spoon?
Isn't that too fleeting a judgement?
: successful in terms of $, but no one would tell you they feel HAPPY as
: not spiritual being appreciated.
麻烦告诉我你问过甚麽人?
我可以告诉你
我认识一批做剧场的
虽然身无分文
但是我可以很笃定地告诉你
他们是开心的
Pray tell me who have you been asking?
As I can tell you upfront
I know a bunch of theatre folks
who, though often poor,
they are the happiest people in the world
: This is common in HK/TW as well, but even worst here in SIN.
