【外國人眼中的台灣女人】
台灣女生睫毛長、腿長、腦袋空、貪財、膚淺又驕矜自恃......Even many of those who can speak decent English will rarely go beyond conversations about shopping, food, travel (if they dare to pretend knowing anything worthwhile about the real world beyond American and Japanese shopping malls) and maybe, just maybe, fun sex.
台灣女生有不少人會說英文;然而,她們聊天的主題總是圍繞在「購物」、「食物」、「旅遊」,很少有例外。(就算她們裝得「知性美」,想把話題扯到更現實的東西,除了美國商場和日本血拼商店外, 他們也想不出什麼,哦,或許在聊性事方面會有趣一點啦。)
Take things further into the arts, music, DECENT movies beyond Hollywood,politics, science and philosophy, I would say that 90% of people in Taiwan are "educated" to work, not to please the depths of themselves and others in particularly subtle ways.
至於藝術、音樂、好萊塢之外的電影、政治、科學、哲學,那就算了吧。我只能說,90%的台灣人之所以受教育,都只是為了工作,而非挖掘自己和他人在某些細微方面所產生的深度差異。
The worst thing about all this is that the truly fascinating side of Chinese culture is either a political conundrum for not knowing which side to choose, or is slowly sinking face first into oblivion. There is room for tremendous melting pot in Taiwan, but not much is being done about it.
最糟糕還不只是這樣:中國文化最令人著迷的一面,就是其政治思想;中國政治家不斷問自己:「政治上,到底要怎麼做才是對的?」(譯註:中庸!?)要不然乾脆隱姓埋名(譯註:隱士!?),讓眾人遺忘。這種政治思想可以造就出一個超級族群大融爐,然而台灣到目前為止卻還沒為此做出半點東西。
This is not a blind assault at intercultural differences, but a good stab at old social etiquettes that were ditched in the 60 and 70's in the West.
我之所以這麼說,絕對不是無的放矢,也沒有無視於文化差異,而是想改變舊社會的陳腐思想,而這些思想則在60年代和70年代遭西方人遺棄。
The family, school, work ethics to my opinion kills people's potential.Taiwan has grown economically, but it will reach full maturity only aftera hard look at itself in relation to the rest of the world, while learning to accept and integrate true differences, like other Asian places such as Singapore have learned to do, to make for a much nicer place to live and fit in with open minded people.
就我來看,台灣的家庭、工作倫理、學校系統扼殺個人潛力。台灣近幾年來經濟大幅成長;然而,想要成為一個完全成熟的社會,台灣就得正視他與世界的關係,並學習接受及整合兩造之間的差異。新加坡曾經所做的改革的,台灣也可以傚法,這麼一來,台灣會變得更好,人民心胸也會變得寬大。
In the meantime, it comes across as easy for Taiwanese people to be pleasant and smiling on the surface, but I do believe that their most visceral personal and social identity dangerously lacks confidence and awareness with others at best, or is totally uninterested and racist deep within, ever so silently.
台灣人表面很和善又樂觀;然而,我不覺得他們真的是這樣,他們缺乏足夠自信和觀察力,不能真實表達個人情緒和認同感;換個講法,就是他們其實很冷漠,骨子裡又帶有種族偏見,只是他們從來沒講出來罷了。
As an Adult Business Teacher, i listen to a lot of answers to topic questions in my class. when the topic gets around to love and relationships you always hear TW Girls saying the same exact shit.
我在一家成人英語補習班教授商用英文,跟學生聊過很多事情,也聽到不少回應。當我和學生聊到愛情和兩性關係之類的主題,台灣女孩子的回答都一樣,又臭又糟糕。真慘啊!!這就是外國.西方.白種人.黑人眼中的台灣女人?問老爺我的看法呢?能幫她們說幾句嗎?唉!事實如此.夫復何言?還好還有20%的應該是還好.只是你要很幸運才會碰上......而她們可能又是獨立自主.不太懂體貼.服從的大女人呢!! |
