《2025年凤凰新学案高中英语必修第一册译林版》

B
Just the other day, I found a book named How to make friends with foreigners. Naturally, as a foreigner who has been living in China for a year, I was curious to see what kind of advice a Chinese writer was giving on this matter.
One piece of advice really made me feel quite annoyed. In the writer’s opinion, foreigners are an “opportunity” to improve your oral English. The writer goes on to say that if the foreigner doesn’t want to answer your questions, then he or she is a rude person. I think this advice is not only incorrect, but also potentially(潜在地) damaging the relations between Chinese people and foreigners in China.
Like most other “Lao Wai” living in China, I know how lonely one can sometimes feel. However, most of the time this cultural isolation(孤独) is something I simply accept as part of being here. So far my time in China has been very rewarding. I have improved my Chinese language skills, and made some very close Chinese friends.
Unfortunately, I have also come across many troubles. I have had complete strangers throwing articles in my face, insisting that I help them with the English translation. I have had people asking me to help with immigration applications to other countries. There was even one person who, after asking me non-stop questions for half an hour, became very angry when I politely asked him to give other people a chance to speak. He puffed himself up like a peacock and informed me that he was simply trying to be my friend.
He may well have thought he was trying to be my friend, but it’s absolutely not a polite way to build friendships by pestering(纠缠) another person. Friendship is about spending time with someone whose company you genuinely(真正地) enjoy. It’s not about opportunities or personal advantages. The Chinese friends I have made while living here have been genuine friends to me; we enjoy each other’s company for its own sake.
So if there is any advice to give on making and keeping friendships with foreigners, I would say that it is this: Treat foreigners as people, not opportunities. Expect to make friends gradually. Don’t burden foreigners with lots of questions.
Finally, I would suggest that if you really want to make friends with a foreigner, then you do so because you are genuinely interested in the person.
