女兒學中文趣事

去中文學校的路上，話題不知怎麽轉到了Bill Gates donation的事上。我先生邊開車邊說， “嗨，對他來說， 不過就九牛一毛嘛 ！”我突然靈機一動， 考考這倆閨女。倆閨女每周六去上中文學校， 每年放暑假還回中國，中文水平怎麽也得有個小學四五年級水平吧！ “嗬，你倆說說，這九牛一毛是啥意思啊？”小女兒聳了聳肩， give up了。大女兒眼睛瞪得大大的， 思考著。我心想，“哎，還是老大好， 這小的就是不努力。” “呃。。。”大女兒看著我試探地說，“bought nine cows for 10 cents?” --- 我暈！ 

 

下課鈴響了， 小女兒蹦蹦跳跳地出來了， “Mommy， we learned a new lesson today. It’s about 上海是東方之珠。 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,” 看到我沒懂她的意思，“You know, that song, 東方之珠？”  ---  徹底暈倒！
