这件迪斯尼/ABC辱华事件上,总有人挖苦华人缺乏幽默感,开不得玩笑,和一个孩子较真什么的。我这两天在一些英文网站以幽默的方式参加讨论,效果还可以。
这里搞一个Top 10 List,目的是指出完全可以用幽默机智的方式引导孩子,指出他的错误。
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Jimmy Kimmel (46 yo): We owe China a lot of money, 1.3 trillion dollars. How should we pay them back?
Braxton (6 yo): Shoot cannons all the way over and kill everyone in China.
Jimmy: Kill everyone in China? OK, that's an interesting idea.
Top 10 list of What Jimmy Kimmel didn't say:
10. Really? I don't envy your dad's mortgage lender.
9. That's not nice to say. Can't we just give them Disneyland instead?
8. Braxton, you lost me. But if you were right, I wish we had borrowed money from cancer.
7. Tell me more about this Avery Wang. How bad is he?
6. All of a sudden, bank robbery doesn't look so bad for financing anymore, does it?
5. Braxton, please don't answer my next question about fighting poverty in the States.
4. Producer, do you hear me? Pay Braxton's dad immediately, and exactly as we agreed upon.
3. Sorry, Bob Dylan. Cannon balls must fly yet another time.
2. Leno, Letterman, and Fallon all have Chinese connections through Panda Express. Does that count?

1. YOUR voice.
