英语翻译
Bursting into the classroom from recess,15 children
take their seats and face the woman they know as Teacher Yang.
“What day is
this?” she asks,in Mandarin Chinese.
“Confucius’ birthday!” the fifth-
graders shout in Mandarin.
“Why do we celebrate Confucius’ birthday?”
“Because he’s the greatest teacher in the history of China!” exclaims a
brown- haired girl.She too is speaking Mandarin.
English is rarely heard
in Lisa Yang’s class at the Chinese American International School (CAIS),
despite the fact that few students are native speakers of Mandarin.
The
United States is actively trying to increase the group of students in “critical
languages” such as Mandarin.The students at CAIS are way ahead of such a trend.
15个孩子从休息室冲进教室,选好了自己的座位,面朝被称作杨老师的女士坐下.
“今天是什么日子?”杨老师用中文普通话问.
“孔子的诞辰.” 这些五年级的孩子们大声以普通话回答.
“为什么我们要庆祝孔子的诞辰呢?”
“因为他是中国历史上最伟大的老师”,一个棕色头发的小女孩子大声回答.她也说的普通话.在中美国际学校(简称CAIS)杨丽莎老师的教堂里,几乎没有人讲英文.尽管这里没有一个孩子的母语是中文.
美国正在积极的促进越来越多的学生们多学一门“重要语言”,如中文普通话.而这些CAIS学校里的学生更是走在这股趋势的前锋.
