一个一年级老师跟她的学生解释她是美国人,然后问她的学生是否是美国人。学生为陶老师喜欢纷纷举手,但有一个学生叫Kristen的例外。老师就问她为什么不是。
“因为我不是美国人”,孩子答道。
“那你是哪人”,老师问道。
“我是自豪的加拿大人”
老师有点不适应,脸红了一下,问她为什么是加拿大人。
“因我父母是加拿大人,所以我也是”
老师有些生气,大声说“这毫无道理,如果你妈是白痴,你爸也是白痴,那你是什麽?”
孩子迟疑了一下,微笑着说“那...我就是美国人”
原文:
I would be an American
A first grade teacher explains to her class that she is an American. She asks her students to raise their hands if they were American too. Not really knowing why but wanting to be like their teacher, their hands explode into the air like flashy fireworks.
There is, however, one exception. A girl named Kristen has not gone along with the crowd. The teacher asks her why she has decided to be different.
"Because I am not an American."
"Then", asks the teacher, "What are you?"
"I'm a proud Canadian," boasts the little girl.
The teacher is a little perturbed now, her face slightly red. She asks Kristen why she is a Canadian.
"Well, my mom and dad are Canadians, so I'm a Canadian too."
The teacher is now angry. "That's no reason," she says loudly. "What if your mom was a moron, and your dad was a moron. What would you be then?"
A pause, and a smile. "Then," says Kristen, "I'd be an American."
