※ 引述《ShiningRuby (閃亮紅寶石女王)》之銘言： : 說到這個, : 我覺得很感慨.... : 我現在在美國唸書,課餘以教鋼琴餬口. : 以下是發生在我鋼琴學生身上的事. : 這個女生十歲,爸媽是大陸來的,在美國生下她,所以她是標準ABC. : 她應該會講一點中文,不過我從沒聽她講過, : 我們是用英文上課,我跟他的家長也都是講英文. : 有一天上課時我示範新的曲子給她聽, : 她問:"為什麼你只是視奏就彈這麼好?" : 我:"因為我已經彈25年的鋼琴啦!如果你認真彈鋼琴彈25年,你也可以像我這樣." : 本來我還在為我的機會教育小小得意中, : 沒想到我學生竟然接著問: : "那我爸媽來美國也已經二十幾年了,為什麼他們講英文的口音還是很重?" : 他問我的語氣就是一副很受不了爸媽的破英文的樣子.... : 我也愣住不知道要怎樣回答,後來我說: : "這不一樣啊,你爸媽的第一語言不是英文,所以你不能期待他們能講得跟美國人一樣, : 就像你的中文應該也不好吧?" : 她挺直腰桿說"拜託,我是在這裡出生的!" ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 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媽不一樣,她是美國人. 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. : 我不知道她為什麼會對她爸媽的口音如此不以為然, : 但看她這樣,一股莫名的感傷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. --
