如今留学生越来越多,意味着越来越多的中国开始了解和熟悉西方的世界. 从小受到”传统”教育的中国留学生, 有相当一部分有着一种莫名的作为中国人的”自卑”. 也许不是每个人都意识到的. 中国学生们,在国外留学的中国学生们,骄傲起来!
有很多留学生到了国外,看到外国人说英语有点紧张和胆却,总感觉自己英语不好是一种很丢人的事情. 从而在和外国人对话的时候, 产生一种低人一等的感觉. 相反, 外国人学习中文,跟我们尝试用中文对话的时候,则大多没有这样的情况. 他们为什么自信? 为什么他们不觉得中国说的不好是很丢脸的事情?
我偏激的说,白人的智商跟中国人差距还是很大的,他们对于人生的努力程度远不及留学生. 之所以有千百万的留学生在全世界顶尖学府学习,就是因为我们中国人聪明. 可以这样想, 中国是个单语言国家, 英语只是一门学校的必修课.与数学和物理没有区别. 中国可以说是一个不说英语的国家(不像印度和新加坡). 中国学生以他们的智慧和勇气, 用自己的第2语言去进修那些西方国家的所谓的”最高学府”,到后来纷纷学成. 当中语言的过渡也无非就是几个月而已. 一个不说英语的中国人, 到了西方高等学府,用自己的第2语言完成他们的课程,甚至于比他们用母语学的更好,难道对他们的教育和人才不是一种讽刺嘛?
中国留学生们应该骄傲起来,要知道你们跟当地人交谈,已经再向他们展示你们的智慧. 如果那个外国人只会说英语,你完全可以跟他说”how come u don’t have a second language? I speak Chinese and English.”当你用解释不清一件事物的时候,也可以说”I would love to explain this in Chinese for u but u just wont understand.”骄傲起来吧,留学生们,只有有了这份自信, 离成功就不远了!
Most people agree with that, but
...a humble view from a non-Chinese....
As a trilingual migrant in Sydney, I must say that many Chinese students are single-mindedly dedicated to excelling in their studies. It is not uncommon that a lot of them seem to have a better grasp of their academic field than their Caucasian peers, but sadly they do not have a sufficiently broad base of knowledge that is essential to enhance their intellectuality. Plus, they often lack genuine interest in humanity and the current issues facing the world in general. www.6park.com
I have observed that a great deal of the Chinese students appear to be obsessed with academic results while neglecting the needs to broaden their horizons in other fields. Being able to make useful and interesting connections between their chosen academic field to a greater context of the real world and humanity will undoubtedly earn them respect and admiration from other non-Asian peers.
