大家有没有看到一些英文书里提到中国或者中国人的？我看到下面两次，印象很深刻，这些多少体现了西人对中国或中国人的一些看法。 Eat Pray Love: A 2006 memoir by American author Elizabeth Gilbert. When I was in China, women used to come up to me on the street and point me out to their children as though I were some escaped zoo animal. And their children—who had never seen anything quite like this pink-faced yellow-headed phantom person—would often burst into tears at the sight of me. I really hated that about China. 这个现象以前存在，但是现今，尤其是大城市，应该不会如此了吧？ One Day: A novel by English writer David Nicholls, published in 2009. In frustration she tugged hard at the hem of her dress, a Chinese-style affair of rich blue silk, or some silk substitute, which made her look like the plump unhappy waitress in the Golden Dragon Take-away. ‘I call it my Fall of Saigon look. Chinese technically. Of course the trouble with one of these dresses is forty minutes later you want another one!’ 所以中国的衣服让人穿没多久就不想穿了？ |
