工作学习 / 外语学习 / 我们的口音是我们的第一代大陆移民的重要的identity, 想要和native speaker说的一样其实是我们内心的自卑。只要别人能听懂，我们应该很为自己的口音而自豪！ -mikesmith(老猫); 2014-7-25 (#8894699@0)

为口音有啥自豪的，应该为别人能听懂我们而自豪！ -c1xwy(洪兴罩俺去战斗); 2014-7-25 (#8894706@0)

口音代表了我们是谁，我们从哪里来。如果内心以作为中国人而骄傲（像天地会里多数ID 口头宣称的那样），当然会为自己的中国口音而自豪了。 -mikesmith(老猫); 2014-7-25 (#8894717@0)

看小说，那些贵族或者来自某些高大上的地区的，就以自己的口音自豪，然后仆人也跟着学，最后总是不把口音当回事的英雄好汉们胜利了，我们不能象贵族老爷们学习，要学习英雄好汉们。 -c1xwy(洪兴罩俺去战斗); 2014-7-25 (#8894745@0)

自豪自卑都不必吧。不就是语言学习吗？提不到那么高的高度。个人选择个人兴趣个人能力。就象学普通话，大家也是能能学多好就学多好。老外学中文也尽量学好学象。跟自豪自卑有关系吗？ -englearner(来件新马甲); 2014-7-25 (#8894796@0)

从另一个方面看，我们其实没必要在祛除我们的口音上费太大的功夫。 -mikesmith(老猫); 2014-7-25 (#8894800@0)

这个判断就主观。有人觉得1天10分钟是浪费时间。有人觉得1星期1小时是下功夫。有人觉得1天1小时乐在其中，饶有兴趣。个人选择。我们就象大多数人一样就是听广播看电视聊天的时候，顺带留意一下, 额外下功夫的相信不多。象美帝那样的真是绝无仅有。 -englearner(来件新马甲); 2014-7-25 (#8894855@0)

I wanted to say this is a lame argument and it is pathetic to think accent is the only identify, but just cut it short to lame and pathetic. This is an open forum for casual talking. And it was never directed at you or anyone.

Nevertheless, after reading your comment, I actually googled it. Surprisingly I found they are quite often used together, which I didn't know. Not that it justifies what I said, it just explains if it sounded immature, it was more because I had not "学到了人家的英语". That's the aspect I will learn.

"学到了人家的英语，没学到人家的胸怀" could not sound more judgmental. I wonder what kind of "胸怀" that demonstrated.

Btw, I have a much better sense of language to Chinese than to English. The "难到你就不活了？" reply to what uno said sounds immature to me. Just my opinion.

我已经讲了 1. 这是我对那个观点评论。我知道那不是你的话。2. 这话听着harsh。我们只是在随意讨论，说话不严谨语气冲都是有的。对于你感到offended,表示道歉。 -englearner(来件新马甲); 2014-7-25 {459} (#8895688@0)
3.我知道这是负面的说法。但我不知道这话象你说的那么严重。这属于我学艺不精，英语不好。我感谢你提出来，同时会去学习。
4.你的关于胸怀的评论，非常judgemental。句句是我的实话。

我说你这个观点太烂了，一点没有说服力，如果这样想听起来蛮可笑蛮可怜的。就是否定你这个人？说这人是苯蛋吗？我知道这是SHOW里说的，但根本没去想是谁说的。

关于＂你就不活了＂。也是我真的感想。跟前面的争论无关。只是没有前面的争论，我不会顺手写出来。

你觉得应该怎么样？我诚恳地问。

从来没感到过被offended，毕竟不是我的观点，只是转述，同时想试试自己的comprehension是否准确。此讨论就到此为止吧。息鼓。 -icespeeder(Speeder On Ice); 2014-7-25 (#8895714@0)

口音的背后是人的性格、习惯、举止、甚至民族性，使人形成stereotype. 比如阿叉音背后是脏乱、贫穷、人多、味儿大，老中音背后则是自私、钻空子、精明、逃税等。凡是不好的都联系上了。其实，口音次要，作人最重要，如果老中整体给人的印象是 -dandelion1(蒲公英); 2014-7-25 {88} (#8895468@0)
