新加坡人的習性? - 新加坡

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!

: 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
