翻开今天的《New York Times》,有那么一个Cover Story是:“China Boom”。
故事是这样开头的:
“IN her ballroom dance class, Li Wanrong has learned to tango and cha-cha. At lunch one day, she tried a strange mix of flavors — pepperoni pizza, the spicy sausage and oozing cheese nearly burning her tongue. Then there was that Friday night before going clubbing for the first time when new friends gave her a makeover, and she looked in the mirror to see an American girl smiling back wearing a little black dress, red lipstick and fierce eyeliner.
“I say ‘wow’ a lot,”…”
学跳探戈和恰恰,午饭吃的意大利肠比萨饼上的有点辣的酱和奶酪,周五晚上出去玩之前化了个浓妆——口红和假睫毛,喜欢大惊小怪地“wow”。。。
像这样的女孩子(这里“有图有真相”:p),在中国的大学校园里,真是要多少有多少!如果不是接下去看到“says Ms. Li., a freshman at Drew University, a small liberal arts school in Madison, N.J.”这一句,还以为是一个中国女孩穿行在北京某个饭馆通往洗手间的走道上呢(Don’t blame me! 主要是瓷砖的效果!)!
有意思的是,在这样一张照片下面,N Y Times是这样说的:“AMERICANIZED Li Wanrong, a Drew University freshman from southern China, says her New Yorker roommate is helping her adjust to Western ways.”
有一句时髦的话:Out了!这些New Yorker们totally out了!:)
不过,整个故事还是值得一看的:)特别是看到关于US-Sino Pathway那一段,就想到这几天校园里无处不在的“天道留学”—— 真不知道是谁copy了谁:p
Enjoy your weekend reading!
