humor “幽默”英文演讲.docVIP

I want to tell you something interesting between foreigners and Chinese. Nowadays, lots of people learn English and it’s popular all over the world, but only small number of foreigners learn Chinese, so if we meet a visitor from other countries who doesn’t look like us, you will think he or she can’t understand Chinese naturally. However, is it really true? One of my friends is studying in Yale University. It’s a famous university that is full of people from all over the world. One day, she walks on the road with her Chinese friend in campus. A black is walking ahead of them. Maybe the black man is so black so they say how black he is in Chinese. Suddenly, the black man turn round and say a word in Chinese” jiu ni bai!” means “only you are white?” Another interesting story is that my mother told me. The actor is her tour guide when she visited Turkey who is good at Chinese. He even can speak Sichuan dialect. He visited Beijing during the Olympic Games in 2008. There are many shops selling souvenirs next to gyms. He came into a shop and wanted to buy a T-shirt. The shopkeeper saw him and said to assistant ”There is a foreigner, the T-shirt is 280 yuan.” However, he saw a Chinese buy a T-shirt with 40 yuan. You can guess what happened next. These are two little fun about foreigners who can speak Chinese. We can find Chinese is more and more popular now. The last advice: don’t talk about something bad about Mr. Lin in Chinese because he can understand it! Miehaha~
