本帖最後由 B仔 於 2009-4-16 11:11 編輯

當你返工又好,出街又好,我發覺,好多人見你係亞洲人,就"奉旨"同你講國語(廣東話都有,不過少D)。呢D情況下,你會點呢?

我個人覺得,大家係同胞,應該互相幫助~ 不過幫還幫,嚟度始終係加拿大,做得公民係應該尊重你嘅國家(唔係話叫你唔尊重自己嘅CULTURE/ORIGIN)。點都應該用英語稱呼人先。即係話,如果你新移民,你嘗試講幾句先,唔掂喇,先問吓人地識唔識講你的語言。而唔係一埋嚟,就係唔係都講國語。有時,我覺得很煩。你都冇嘗試去融入嚟度嘅社會,咁你做乜嚟喎? 講明先:有D人真係有試,然後唔掂,我係好樂意同佢講廣東話,或我嘅有限國語。

我通常聽到有人話唔知點去邊到邊到~ 我識答既我都會答爹話俾佢地聽點去 (限廣東話only) ~ 但通常都係俾D講國語纏住~~ 佢地第一句就係國語~~仲要expect你一定要聽得明~~ 唉~我D國語都係有限公司黎咋~~ 加埋佢地有D奇特既鄉音國語~~真係唔識聽~~ 不過我平時遇到既國語人都幾有禮貌的~~ (當然只係指問我野既人有禮貌啦~~) 其它既情況唔洗多講~~心照啦~~

遇過有D超無禮貌的白種人﹐一行埋黎招呼都唔打就問呢問路﹐好似奉旨要答那般﹐有時真相扮唔識英文唔睬這些人。。。

而中國人﹐反而好似好少少﹐最少都會先來一句“不好意思”﹐“對不起”先問問題。。。而我則是看樣貌﹐有D人一眼就看得出他們不會英文﹐若他們一開口講中文我會覺得好正常﹐也不會怪他們。。。

反而在工作上遇過一個大陸女子﹐甚為不禮貌﹐她用很差的英文與我溝通﹐我問她是否想用國語﹐她說﹕"what do you mean? you mean my English no good?" 幾尷尬。。。差D想說 “係呀。。。“

If they speak to me in English or Cantonese, I will response back in the same Language. If they speak to me in 國語, I will use my broken 國語 to tell them that I do not speak Mandarin.

我都覺得
好多都assume全世界會講普通話

有次又係啦,有個大陸人用普通話走o黎問我o野
我其實都只係識聽o的同講好少好少
所以我都只係用英文答佢,聽唔明我都無辦法 lol
加上依度係加拿大,唔該去學學英文啦.....
作者: Littleprince    時間: 2009-4-16 11:12

不過相反我也很高興他們與我說國語﹐這樣我就有機會好好鍛煉一下了

不過同意樓主所講的﹐響加拿大﹐任何時候劈頭第一句都應該用英文﹐這是基本禮貌﹐無論這人看起來識唔識說中文﹐我知好多同胞覺得我地D廣東人很不上路﹐“中國人當然應該說國語” 這是他們的心底話吧﹖ 只是﹐南方人就算國語很好﹐都難免有口音 (其實其他省市的人何嘗沒有﹖只是他們沒注意而已)﹐說國語也一樣聽死他們﹐希望同胞們也體諒。。。

不過全世界最多人說的語言是國語﹐這倒是真的。。。未來應該還會越來越多人說國語添。。。

所以若大家真的不懂國語﹐建議大家要去學了﹐否則與很多人溝通不來。。。

家中有小孩的更是﹐無論怎困難﹐怎不好玩﹐怎樣貴﹐最好都要逼他們學說國語﹐否則就與幾十億的人說不上話了﹐需知好多懂國語的人並不同時懂英文呢。。。而且將來找工作﹐就算在哪個國家城市﹐識多一種語言就是多一把刀﹐有百利而無一害喔。。。

我應該唔大6LOOK嘅,只係佢地覺得你係識講SOME DIALECT OF 中文,就會同你一輪嘴咁國語~

我亦都唔係唔鍾意內地同胞,我只係覺得有D冇禮貌姐~ 即係,如果你去外國,而你一句都唔識那國家嘅語言所以一開口就要問人地識唔識英文,OK。不過,你係o係度住架大佬

有D好禮貌,都OK嘅。不過我遇著個D,多數係冇架囉。一開始就一輪嘴咁問,唔好意思都冇句。
唔可以成世都係咁架嘛~ 特別係RICHMOND個D,真係奉旨出街唔洗講英文咁,當正係亞裔就係奉旨要同你講中文。

In Richmond, most people say Mandarin/Cantonese la (especially mid-age people). So I am not surprise if people talk to me in Chinese (mandarin/cantonese). But as long as they are polite, I don't mind whatever language they speak and I'll answer in corresponding languages lor. (cantonese/mandarin). To young people, I will speak in English for sure.

譬如,啱啱有個聲似中/上年嘅女人打嚟,搵我。。。佢真係好唔識英文,經中橋搵我幫忙,我覺得真係冇問題,佢係搵我幫佢做D野,係嚟呢個社會融合居住,佢一定會學多D英文。

作者: Ultraman    時間: 2009-4-17 12:37

Japanese people are trained to be super polite in the "serving industry". And gotta understand their main concept behind, they are "level oriented". That means, a server will appear super nice to you cuz you are a customer and make you like a king or queen, an employee will appear super polite to his/her employer...etc. But what the heck you think the Japanese government should apologize to Chinese? Since they (not all Japanese citizens) think they're superior.

1) Waitress A yelled at you and 藐嘴藐舌 but she is very true;
2) Waitress B is very polite but you know she is just 虛偽?

I would rather to have "waitress B" as I am not going to 做人世 with her, fake or not fake doesn't bother me, at least she made me feel good...

i don't understand how they work.. do they just hang up when ppl tell them they don't speak mandarin? do only chinese ppl get these calls? or do white ppl get them also? where do they get out numbers? why don't they respect the "do not call" list? and what do they do if ppl tell them they speak mandarin?

I get these calls too..actually everyone in my family got a call within hours of each other. I think they just try random numbers? They are calling from Macau and they will tell you that you've won a trip to macau to see some awards ceremony with Jackie Chan and stuff...haha..and they will provide you with airfare and hotel. I always tell them I'm not interested. And they always start with " do you speak mandarin?". If you say no, they hang up.

84# kaimui22

if they try random numbers then they must be very aggressive. coz i live in a place that has very few chinese (not in BC, nor Ontario). and i got it once. that woman asked me if i speak chinese. i said yes. then she started speaking to me in Mandarin. I haven't heard anyone speaking Mandarin for more than a year, so my Mandarin is no longer good enough to understand what she's talking about. only heard sth like survey. so i said in English that I speak Cantonese. then that woman kept asking if I speak Chinese. I said I speak Cantonese. she doens't seem to understand English and just kept asking if I speak Chinese. (isn't Cantonese a type of Chinese??? Wow.. it must have become part of English now..) so I just kept talking in English saying I am not interested and hung up.

絕對有可能哦。。。因為說中文的人多﹐很多真是不說英文的﹐你要和他們溝通 (或經商﹐ETC。)﹐不說中文怎辦﹖

即使加拿大的現況﹐我看情況 (只談 BC吧﹐其他不了解) 也是說中文的多過法文﹐應該有人提出中文成為第二或第三法定語言。。。若果中國人不斷繁殖﹐而其他國籍又不生孩子﹐中國人雄霸 BC 根本不是夢。。。

hahahaha.... i guess in their eyes only Mandarin is Chinese...

but in someway, they're not totally wrong, because Cantonese is really just one of the many "dialects" in China... may be just that we were living in the Canton Province and got spoiled

last time, I was walking with a taiwanese friend (and she knows that I'm Cantonese)... when I answered her a question in Mandarin, something like "ok, for sure"... she suddenly acted sooo surprised and said in Mandarin: "wa, 你會說中文!"...

I was like... "Isn't Cantonese Chinese too!!!!??"

84# kaimui22


o kaimui22, i don't think they call random people la... it's usually either you signed up for this or for that... and they sell "telmarketers" the "List"

often time, we signed up for things and they collected our info. without us really paying much attention to it la... say, credit card, cell phone, home phone, hydro bill, retail stores, msn, e-mails, ticket masters, Chinese TV, just to name a few... anything that says "create an account" basically collected your profile and started to sort it to labels one way or another... like... "Chinese" "income between 20000-50000" "family with kids" etc...

haha marketing...

yea... crazy... i need to learn mandarin too... i was talking to suppliers in China before... spoke in English = 1 price, spoke in Mandarin = another price!

anyone know any good language exchange website to share? also interested to learn Korean

Littleprince, see my reply on tax return Capital Gain?
作者: kaimui22    時間: 2009-4-25 19:14

I say they try random numbers (or with an auto dialer) because my parents never use their cell phone number to sign up for anything...and our cell phone numbers (4 of them) are one after the other...for example, 604-999-1204, 1214, 1224, 1234...etc etc. I use my numbers to sign up for a lot of things but they never used theres. So...maybe they used an auto dialer. Of course...very possible that companies (like Fido?) sells our numbers too...they can't sell it to Canadian companies but they definitely can sell to US and international companies.
作者: T2018    時間: 2009-4-26 22:00

o.. may be may be then...

and i heard that we wouldn't sign up for the "do not call" list because smaller telemarketers and ppl from states can use the list and won't get in trouble?.... so ppl actually getting more calls than before.... that's what i heard...

I have a new story about 奉旨, I just joined a strata annual general meeting, during the meeting a few 大陸佬 owners complained and threatened to change the property management company just because they don't speak 國語 with the owner in the meeting, the agent clearly explained that due to respect and legal requirement, they must proceed in English or French, but the 大陸佬 owners still proposed to contract a very crappy management company just because they can speak  國語. How encouraging....
