那我也來翻譯我的吧! 我其實沒有要討論新加坡人的文化素養或什麼的也沒有要跟台灣人比較我只覺得那個作者寫的太離譜了像他說新加坡人英文不好他用哪一個標準說不好呢跟美國人比嗎大家都不會否人新加坡人的英文在亞洲算最好了這樣也不表示所有新加坡人都說很好的英文只是平均來說因為我想信作者是台灣人那台灣自己英文能力比較不好吧? 還有我覺得就算新加坡人文化素養比台灣人底那也不奇怪因為她們是個多種族的國家這是一個很普遍的現象可是因為這個背景新加坡人的國際觀也很好這個也是她們現在成功的其中一個原因 ps:我在寫這些真的一點都沒有要徵對台灣人喔隨然我有寫到台灣人英文不好我自己比較喜歡說中文甚至現在在很多台灣人都來這邊工作了我正在考慮要不要回台灣工作呢! ※ 引述《kuckoo (...)》之銘言： : I have no intention to discuss about the cultural literacy of Singaporean nor : compare it with other country, cos I am not an expert in this field. : I just wanna question the author's rationale in drawing those conclusion which : I think too exaggerate. : Btw losing cultural identity is also a common phenomenon in multicultural : country, so it is not surprising at all if Singaporean cultural literacy is : lower than Taiwan(for example). But because of this background too, their : international/global perspective is broader than Taiwanese(for example) : lower cultural literacy doesn't mean don't have. : And according to me, a lot of Singaporean speak good English. : I don't know in which field you work at, but if you work at some industry : (for example: investment bank), you can meet a lot of Singaporean who speak : really fluent English. : Thanks. : ※ 引述《JessicaH (卡卡貓)》之銘言： : : 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. : : 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 : : implimented, their value comes from families, so they are practical and at : : 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 : : successful in terms of $, but no one would tell you they feel HAPPY as : : not spiritual being appreciated. : : This is common in HK/TW as well, but even worst here in SIN. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.186.173.159
