新加坡人的習性? - 新加坡

考慮到板上或許有英語不太好的朋友

我在此為我的言語做中英翻譯

※ 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.
這個我不完全否認
因為要執行雙語的教育制度真的并不容易
不是每一個人都有語言天分可以精通雙語
我們總會無形地取舍
也和家里主要的語言有很大的關系

I'm not going to refute this point.
It's tough to implement a bilingual education system effectively
Not everyone's a linguist
Not everyone is able to master more than one language
Most of us will subconsciously be more adept at the language
that we use more frequently at home
especially the one that is the main language at home
amongst the adults when we were growing up

: 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
: 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
打工仔有甚麼不好的
你我現在還不是打工的
那麼我推斷你的自卑感一定很高
難道所有其他國家的人都沒有干過苦功嗎？
難道其他國家所有的人一生出來就口含銀湯匙嗎？
你這麼說未免太敷衍了事

What's wrong with being working class?
Aren't we part of them now?
So I presume you have low self-esteem as well
You mean other countries never had working classes?
Or that every citizen was born with a silver spoon?
Isn't that too fleeting a judgement?

: successful in terms of $, but no one would tell you they feel HAPPY as
: not spiritual being appreciated.
麻煩告訴我你問過甚麼人？
我可以告訴你
我認識一批做劇場的
雖然身無分文
但是我可以很篤定地告訴你
他們是開心的

Pray tell me who have you been asking?
As I can tell you upfront
I know a bunch of theatre folks
who, though often poor,
they are the happiest people in the world

: This is common in HK/TW as well, but even worst here in SIN.
