SarahJones莎拉琼斯在Ted的精彩脱口秀
脱口秀演员SarahJones莎拉琼斯在TED现场来了段精彩的单口秀,她惟妙惟肖地仿照了八国人说英语,惊为天人。里面包括了英式腔调、美式腔调、印度腔调、法国腔调、中式腔调、阿拉伯腔调、这短短的20分钟内,莎拉琼斯似乎领着你去了一次环球旅行。莎拉琼斯一个人分别扮演了一位固执的犹太老太太、一个语速极快的多米尼加裔女高校生以及其他众多精彩角色。
被莎拉琼斯仿照的八个国家和地区为:英国、纽约皇后区、澳大利亚、多米尼加、法国、德国、印度、中国、约旦。代表了八种不同的腔调:英音、美音、西班牙音、法语音、德语音、印度音、汉语音、阿拉伯音。
当然从Sarah的本意动身,这次旅行的重点并不仅仅是腔调,还有文化与沟通的问题。我们生活在一个距离越来越短,联系越来越紧密的地球村里。一种语言就像是一把钥匙,打开地球另一边人们生活的大门。假如说你的语言是一个维度,它带来了一个角度,多一种语言力量就是多一个思索的维度,多了一扇看世界的窗,生活的厚度就这样叠加起来更加丰富多彩。
以下是SarahJones莎拉琼斯的演讲:
