女儿学中文趣事

去中文学校的路上，话题不知怎么转到了Bill Gates donation的事上。我先生边开车边说， “嗨，对他来说， 不过就九牛一毛嘛 ！”我突然灵机一动， 考考这俩闺女。俩闺女每周六去上中文学校， 每年放暑假还回中国，中文水平怎么也得有个小学四五年级水平吧！ “呵，你俩说说，这九牛一毛是啥意思啊？”小女儿耸了耸肩， give up了。大女儿眼睛瞪得大大的， 思考着。我心想，“哎，还是老大好， 这小的就是不努力。” “呃。。。”大女儿看着我试探地说，“bought nine cows for 10 cents?” --- 我晕！ 

 

下课铃响了， 小女儿蹦蹦跳跳地出来了， “Mommy， we learned a new lesson today. It’s about 上海是东方之珠。 You know what? I finally got to know what you and your friends were singing at karaoke.  I was always wondering why you were so interested in singing about an Eastern Spider,” 看到我没懂她的意思，“You know, that song, 东方之珠？”  ---  彻底晕倒！
