对于我们这些来到这个国家的中国移民来说，学英语和说好英语是和西方人民沟通融合的唯一渠道。如果我们想在这边扎下根来，要想发展，不被其他民族轻视，这是我们面临的处境和必须要做的事情。没法想像在一个英语的世界里，有一群不会说英文的中国人在这个社会中生活，但是没有和身边的各族人的交流和思想沟通， 他们的境遇会怎样。
For those of us who came to the country's Chinese immigrants, learning English and speak good English is the integration of the only channel of communication with the Western people. If we want to take root here, to the development and won’t be taken lightly by other nations, this is the situation we are facing and the need to do. Can not imagine that in a world of English, a group of Chinese people who can not say English but live in this society, no exchange of ideas and communicate with all nationalities around them, their situation will be like what.
在我们的日常生活中，我们只要尽量说出英语就够了，根据每个人对语言的接受程度，有的人可以说得多一点，有些人能说得很少。确实学英语是很难的，也许费了很大劲，你只能蹦出几个词，但是没有关系，想说就是一种努力。又有谁会笑话你呢？ 因为我们的基础太差了，这不是我们的错，而是以前的教育模式造成的。你的观点有些是正确的，确实我们应该弘扬我们的汉语文化，提高汉语在国际上的地位，那是每一个国家应该做的事，无论其大小。但是从全世界范围来看，英语是最实用的为最广大国家和人民接受的通用语言，别的国家的人民能接受，我们国家为什么就不能接受呢？ 还有很多商家拒绝说英语的人，口号是保护汉语文化。其实有什么必要吗? 为什么要担心汉语会消失呢？我们的孩子有能力学好英文，法文，如果他们想，他们肯定也能学好汉语。方法可以是这样，大部分的人可以不用说的很好，讲一点点或者作为兴趣来学，不用浪费很大精力。少量高级口语翻译。孩子趁小抓紧时间说好语言，将来他们会省很多力，不会像我们一样花二十多年来学，还容易忘，还没有好的效果。在国内语言环境不够，对语言的要求可以很低；但是对我们这些已经到这边的人来说，应该高一点层次，如果还是不注重对英语的接触，对英语世界的联系，那就是自己垒墙了。我们来到了这边才发现很多的国家的人都可以说两到三种语言。也没有发现那些国家的语言都消失了。我们国家的人要想在世界上争主动，也应该学习其他国家的方式，多掌握一门语言，这对我们国家很有好处，不会在世界的舞台上看别人在流畅的交流沟通，我们却不知所云。另外，不会说英语，我们只能在中国通行，走不到世界上去，就没有世界地位。当为世界共同谋未来的时候，其他各国的人都在抒发自己观点的时候，我们只能靠翻译与世界对话，否则走到哪都遇障碍，你说你心里的感受是什么样的？
In our daily life, we speak English as long as enough as possible as we can, according to each person's acceptance of the language, and some people much more can say while others will tell us very little. Indeed it is very difficult to learn English, and perhaps with a great effort, you can only speak a few words, but no matter, it is an effort to say, and who would quip you? Too bad because of our basis, and what is not our fault, but the former caused by the mode of education we received. Some of your points of view are correct, and sure thing we should carry forward our Chinese culture, to raise the status of Chinese in the international arena. It is every country should do, regardless of their territory. However, judging from the around of the world, English is the most useful the common language to the broadest number of countries and peoples have accepted, those people of other countries can accept it, our country why can not accept it? There are many business people who still refuse English speaker; the slogan is to protect the Chinese culture. In fact, what is this a necessary? Why should we fear it the disappearance of Chinese? Our children have the ability to learn English, French, if they wish, they can certainly learn Chinese. Can be that is the case, most people don’t need to say English very good, talk a little bit or learn as an interest as a science, for do not have to waste a lot of energy. A small numbers of high-level spoken language translators. Waste no time taking advantage of small age of our children master a good language, in the future, they will save large amounts of time, many will not same as the way we learn by spending more than two decades, but also easy to forget, no good results. In China, Language environment at home is not enough of the language and the requirements could be low; but for those of us who have been to this side of the people, should be at a higher level, if still not focused on the English-speaking contacts, links to the English-speaking world, it is their own mistake to build a wall clog themselves. We came here and found a lot of countries’ people can say 2-3 kinds of languages. Also did not find which language of those countries has disappeared. People of our country would like to take the initiative in the world should learn from the way of other countries, more than one language to master, which is very good for our country. It won’t be seen such a happen when people to communicate with each other, we but not knowing what’s talking on. In addition, do not speak English, we can only access in China, no chance to act worldwide, therefore no status in the world. When people get together seeking a developing plan for the world's future, people from other countries can express their views at any time, while we can only rely on the translation of dialogue with the world, or wherever obstacles are encountered, what do you feel at the moment?
何况，我们现在是在魁北克，除了说英语，还要说法语，对语言的要求更高。法国人尽量不说英语，他有民族自尊心，是因为他们说法语的人太少了，再不保护，法语就要消亡了。而我们中国有十几亿人口在讲中文，你还怕中文消失嘛？如果到了我们的汉语只剩几百万人讲了，我们也会保护汉语的，世界也会对汉语加强保护的。那时我们也会同样有民族危机感和自尊心。
Moreover, we are in Quebec, in addition to English, but also need to speak French, the language demand is higher. French people do not speak English as much as possible, he has a sense of national pride because too few of the people speak French, no protection, and there will be the demise of the French. And we have more than one billion people in China speak Chinese, why do you fear Chinese will disappear? If our Chinese speaker only supposed left about millions of people, we will protect the Chinese, the world will also strengthen the protection of the Chinese. At that time we will also have a national sense of crisis and self-esteem.
一个中国人就算不会说英语也要夹带几个洋泾浜单词，连咿咿呀呀的流行歌曲也要拽几句英语，那是因为我们在想办法保持英语的语感，要把英语融入到日常的会话中去，这是最简便的方法。唱歌是另种方法的调剂。不想学英语的人不知道其中的努力，及要保持和提高英语熟练程度的难度。想说好英语的人也有民族自尊心，因为他们不想在外族人面前表现得不出色，想清楚地表述自己的观点。与世界接轨有什么不好？至少我们不会再落后。学英语的热潮也是可以理解的，因为我们大家都不会嘛，所以热呀；要是以后都会了，那还热个啥，去干别的去了。
Even if the Chinese who can not speak English also tell several pidgin words, even popular songs written in some lines of English, this is just because we have to find ways to maintain a sense of English language, English will be integrated into day-to-day conversation, and this is the easiest way. Singing is another swap method. Those who do not want to learn English do not know the efforts, and the difficulty to maintain and improve the English proficiency level. People who would like to say good English has also a sense of national pride, because they do not want his performance is not excellent before other ethics, he wants to clearly express some kinds of views. Link with the world is a good thing, at least we will not lag further behind. Craze to learn English is understandable, because most of us do not know and master it, so it’s hot; if afterwards, we learn well, it won’t hot anymore, and we will do other things.
有了语言，才有发言权，没有语言，只能当哑巴，就被动。这我以前都讲过了，我希望在语言这个问题上不要有更多的争论了，还需要时间去做很多其他的事。以前的移民语言不好，受歧视，听说90%的香港人回去了，我们不要学他们。我们新来的移民有较高的英文水平，要利用这点优势多争取主动。现在还有很多企业，商店好像还在排斥英文，这风气很不好。甚至国内的人都奇怪，你们去了加拿大，应该是讲英文啊，怎么还是讲中文？
在国外生活的人，因为要提高语言，而每天的时间又有限，所以多说英语，少说汉语是非常正常的，虽然我们能体谅很多中方雇主的语言不是多好，但还是希望能有机会多运用英语。这是谋生的需要。
With the language, we will have a say to speak; no language, can only act as a dumb, on the passive. I have said before, I hope this issue in language not to have more arguments, and also need time to do a lot of other things. Poor language for the former immigrants, they were discriminated; I heard that 90% of the people of Hong Kong people went back, we do not learn them. Our new immigrants have a higher level of English and should use this advantage to seize more initiatives. Now there are many businesses, shops still seem to exclude the English, and this trend is not good. Or even people who live in mainland are feel strange, you went to Canada, should be English-speaker, how can speak Chinese all the time?
People living in foreign countries tend to speak more English and less Chinese because of the need to improve the language, and the limited time each day, it is very normal, although we can understand that many Chinese employer’s English is not very good, but still want to have more opportunities to use English. This is the need to make a living.
对于国内生活的人来说，用英语的机会较少。少量学习即可。但从长远看，我们可以保持汉语和英语两种语言，这没什么不好，就算以后处处都讲英文，在我们自己的国家，中文也不会消失的，祖先留下来的悠久语言和它的在世界上的独特性都使它难以被替代。（只不过，现代国人嫌它太复杂，把它改得有点不象中文了。）相反，我们或许具有了讲另一种也很有用的语言的能力。
The domestic people have fewer opportunities to use English. A small amount of learning can be ok. However, in the long haul for the prospective, we can maintain Chinese and English as the common languages, which is nothing bad, even later everywhere people speak English, in our own country, the Chinese will not disappear in certainty, the ancestral language and its long history and its uniqueness in the world makes it difficult to be replaced. (Merely, modern people think it's too complicated, change it to a little not like Chinese.) Instead, we might have the capacity to speak another also useful language.
但是这个过程可能会很长，来的人经过三，四代移民后可能会达到完全掌握英文的程度，单只我们第一代移民的几十年对英文的努力和摸索是远远不够的。而国内，恐怕会长得多。但是我们所走过的弯路会让我们的孩子们省却很多精力，这就是我们多年苦练英文的意义所在。正像大炼钢铁时出了很多废品，但是当我们对一件事情发生热忱的时候，我们就会想怎么能走更好的路，避免犯以前的错误，那么以后我们就逐渐地不再出废的钢铁。
However, this process may be very long; to pass through the third and fourth generation immigrants may reach that degree to master a full picture of the extent of English. Only we the first generation of immigrants for several decades of efforts and to explore the English are far from sufficient. And in domestic, I am afraid that much last longer. But we have gone through the tortuous path can very much make avoid our children to waste a lot of energy and don’t go our old way. This is what we practice English hardly for many years the significance it is on. As same the time of smelting steel we wasted a lot of iron, but when comes a time we have a passion and zeal to face a new thing, we would like to consider, how can a better way to avoid the mistakes committed before, then after we are gradually no longer produce the iron and steel scrap.
