I am very impressed with your English, as well as that of everyone else posting here from China! I don’t believe that any of us have had a problem understanding what you are saying. Your English is fine and by reading and writing in English, you will get better and better at it!
Having said that, I think that something which is not easily translated is feeling, emotion and especially humor. Americans here often have a sarcastic tone and I believe that is why there has been a lot of confusion and misunderstanding here in this thread. Even Americans sometimes can’t distinguish between someone being serious or sarcastic. And yes, there are a small few who have not been very nice here at all, and our moderators have taken action. Nastiness is not tolerated here at all.
I am glad that so many Chinese people have come here to share their thoughts, albeit under such horrible circumstances. Please know that we do wish that you might give us more of a chance in the weeks and months to come. We’d really like for you to stick around. Perhaps read about all the American election coverage right here, and see how real Americans feel about the process, the candidates, etc. Most of us come here to FR to get our news because our national media is very biased. Our network television often tells us what *they* want us to hear.
Anyway, maybe in the months to come, I know that I would love to learn more about your people, your government, and maybe even address misperceptions of one another. But that is for another time. Prayers and assistance are what is needed most right now.
Wow, this is the first time I ever hear a native American say that your national media is biased. I always run into some of your fellows who are constantly bashing Chinese state media, blah blah blah. But they never see or admit their own flaw. And that’s the thing that annoys me.
You are right about Americans’ sense of humor and sarcasm. I’ve failed to distinguish them a thousand times. And that makes me a fool...
You are a nice person, undoubtedly. Have a wonderful day!
