Food for thought.....or thinking of food?

Nothing profound. Nothing philisophical. Just food. Lots and lots of food.

华人,华语

 

Please change the text encoding of your browser if you see funny characters on this page.

在念大学时,就学会了用中文打字。但也不常打中文字,因为新加坡是以英文为主,所以习惯凡是都用英文写。

当我知道自己被派去上海出差时,就感到有点紧张。虽然我的中文还不赖,但还是有很多技术上的词汇 (technical terms) 不懂。大陆已经在推广英文,可是那毕竟是个以中文为主的国家,英文程度并不好。

虽说我是华人,我还是有些不习惯句句都以中文表达。在新加坡时谈话多数都是用华语,但谈话和写字有很大的不同。我知道,每个人都能说,但能写的却没那么多。

自从我去了这一趟上海,我用中文打字的速度增加了许多。还好,在那里没丢新加坡华人的脸。跟那边的同事上网聊天都只打中文每天聊多了就渐渐上手。

其实我突然写中文,是因为我读到了一位朋友的感言。只不过,她同时用了中文和英文。这样打字应该花更多时间吧。她也真有耐性。

I use alt+shift to toggle, which is about the same, but I find it very troublesome to change 4 times every sentence.
