Most people who travel from China to the US find that,despite having studied English for years,they have to “re—learn” it upon arriving.
Words that we learned in English classes are not pronounced the same way here.To truly be part of the “melting pot”,fluency(流利)in English is not enough.You need an accent to stand out.
When I first came to the US for graduate school,1 was a nervous foreigner.I felt so out of place that I wanted to hide everything about me that was “different”.To talk like an American became one of my goals.
During my first term as a teaching assistant(TA),my students complained(抱怨) they could not understand me.I learned later from a study that this complaint was common among US students with an international TA.It is called the “Oh, no!” syndrome (情绪、举动):“Oh,no! Not another international TA,and not that accent again!’’
So I imitated(模仿)the way native speakers talk and,over time,I made such good progress that American friends started to praise my English as having “almost no accent’’.I took this as a sign of my success.Ever since.people have often mistaken me for someone from many places:the Midwest,the West Coast,China,Japan,South Korea.Most frequently,people think I am from California.
Suddenly,conformity (一致) was no longer a praise:If I talk like an American,am I still Chinese? If I lose my Chinese accent,do I also lose my cultural identity? Am I denying(否认)my past by being absorbed into(沉浸于)a new culture?
Now I realize that a person’s accent is a permanent(永久的)record of their past cultural experience and it is a mark of one’s experience and exposure to different cultures.
As a fourth-year student in the US,I am no longer a nervous foreigner.My nervousness has been replaced by a desire to hold on to my cultural origins.Now I consciously(有意识地)add some Chinese “accent” when I speak.I do not wish to speak “perfect” English because I am proud of who I am.

It was five minutes before midnight. "They should be home any time," Cindy thought as she finished the last touches on the chocolate cake she was 1 . The cake didn't taste 2 because she had run out of sugar. The kitchen was in a mess (杂乱). Imagine a huge blender filled with all the things for making a chocolate cake. Now the blender is turned 3 . High speed. Without the lid. Do you get the idea? But Cindy wasn't thinking about the kitchen. She was 4 for her parents to return so that she could present her gift. She turned off the 5 and waited excitedly in the dark. At last she saw the car headlights flashing and heard the key going into the front 6 . Her parents tried to come in 7 . Cindy suddenly turned on the light and laughed loud, "Ta-daaa!" She 8 to the kitchen table, where the poor chocolate cake stood. But her mother's eyes never made it all the way to the table. "Just look at this mess!" "But Mom, I was only …" "Clean the 9 first thing in the morning!" "Honey," Cindy's father said gently, "take a look at the table." "I know-it's a mess," his wife said 10 . "The whole kitchen is a 11 ." She stormed up the stairs. For a few moments Cindy and her father stood silently, 12 knowing what to say. Finally she looked up at him, her eyes red. "She never saw the cake," she said. From time to time we all allow ourselves to be 13 to subjects of long-term importance by something that seems awfully important right now-but isn't. Muddy shoes, lost lunch money and untidy kitchens are troublesome but what's a little mud compared to a child's 14 ? There are times when we really need to see the mess in the kitchen, and times when we only need to see the 15 . | ||||
