When I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother’s Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously ,did not give her good service ,pretended not to
Understand her ,or even acted as if they did not hear her .
My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she . I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人). I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs. Tan. . ”
And my mother was standing beside me ,whispering loudly, “Why he don’t send me cheek already two week lone. ”
And then , in perfect English I said : “I’m getting rather concerned . You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived. ”
Then she talked more loudly. “What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss. ” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I can’t tolerate any more excuse. If I don’t receive the check immediately , I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week. ”
The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs. Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.
When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.
当我在美国长大时,我为母亲的中式英语感到羞愧。因为她的英语,她经常被不公平对待。在商场,银行和餐馆的人们不尊重她,不提供给她优质服务,假装听不懂,或者甚至表现得像是他们没有听到她说话。 再答: 我母亲也已经认识到她英语的薄弱。当我十五岁时,她常常让我打电话给人们以假装我是她。我被迫去询问信息甚至呼叫粗鲁对待她的人们。有一次我不得不呼叫她的股票经纪人,
再问: 你的回答完美的解决了我的问题,谢谢!
