今天天气不好。你的地方怎么样?
(中国語が合っているか定かではないが・・・I'm not sure if my Chinese is OK. 我不知道这是不是对。)
最近You Tubeで
英語を母語としない外国人
の人々の英語の動画を
よく観ているのですが
たまたま観つけた
リウ・ウェン (Liu Wen 刘雯)
という中国出身でNY在住の
世界的に有名な
モデルの動画を紹介します。
I've enjoying watching a bunch of videos created by foreign people who speak English as their 2nd (or third?) language. I'm going to introduce some videos by a NY based world-famous model named Liu Wen I happened to find today.
我今天介绍几个很有意思的动画。
她名字叫刘雯。

最初に見つけたのはこの
ネイティブ中国語の発音が
勉強できる動画。
とっても美しくてカッコいい
The first video that I came across was this one in which you can learn some authentic Chinese pronunciation. She looks really beautiful and cool in this video.
我觉得她真美丽, 真好看!
我很喜欢她。
そしてこの
何やら男前の男性は

2人でどうやら
ドラマシリーズやCMで
頻繁に共演しているようです。
This good-looking guy is a Korean singer-songwriter and actor called Choi Siwon, and it seems that these two often work together in CMs and dramas.
特にこのドラマシリーズ
"We Are In Love"では
2人がそれぞれの母語である
中国語・韓国語を話すときは
英語の字幕が出て
2人が
コミュニケーションをする際には
共通語である英語を話したり
男性が
中国語を理解しようと努めたり
観ているだけで和む雰囲気です。
一番大切なのは
どんな言語を話すかではなくて
お互いを理解し合うことなんだなぁと。
そんな関係がうらやましいなぁ~とも
Especially in this Chinese (or Korean?) drama series titled "We Are In Love", while they are talking about what they are thinking in their own mother tongue which are Chinese for Liu and Korean for Siwon, English subtitles are shown. When the two are trying to communicate with each other, they speak English. Siwon sometimes tries to make himself understood by speaking Chinese as Liu is helping him. I realize when people communicate (especially when they are in love), all that matters for them is try to understand each other no matter what language(s) they speak. It's such a wonderful and heartwarming relationship which makes me feel so envious of them.
彼らの動画を観ていると
2か国語、3か国語を
ちゃんぽんにして話すのは
とっても面白いし
こういう状況が自分にとっても
ごくごく普通のことになってきて
嬉しい気持ちがしています。
I find it very interesting when I see them juggling two or three languages in order to communicate with each other, and I'm so happy to realize that this kind of situation seems to be becoming more and more normal to me, too.
2か国語以上を
母語に近い感じで話す人々の
刺激を受ける動画を
これからも紹介しますね
I'll introduce more videos of inspring non-native speaker of English who are multilingual and can express themselves in English as comfortably and freely as they can in their mother tongue.
お楽しみに
Please look forward to it
下次见!
