If you feel this is a tough 发表于 2005-10-15 21:58:36 (United States)***question, because you are think too much. It is a very common confused question but never causes a problem. Just like you answer any question: understandinging the meaning of the question first, then answer. If it is still not clear just tell little more about yourself. Remember you are chatting not giving a formal speech. Also please don’t worry about your child how he/she should answer this question if he/she grows up here in US.

这才是正解. 发表于 2005-10-15 20:49:30 (Canada)***如果是美国出生，美国长大的孩子，就是要说I am from America，或者 I am from state of XXX （california, new jersey , etc.）。如果我们老说I am from China，这就是暗示中国血统的人不是美国的合理的居民，永远是外国人。当白人从小每天都会遇到黄种人面孔的人，而且都告诉他们I am American,他们才能从潜意识中认同中国血统的人是美国合理的居民。那些白人也都是一两百年前从欧洲移民过来的，我们也是移民，凭什么我们就要一天到晚把自己血统挂在嘴上？怎么不听他们说I am from German, I am from Italy, I am from Ireland?? 改变别人的看法要从改变自己的看法开始。如果你自己都不认为自己是这个国家的成员，别人怎么会认为你是？？
这才是正解,其它都是废话.

寫的好，寫的真實 发表于 2005-10-15 10:38:40 ()***我認為作者寫的很好很真實。其實老外問你“從哪里來？”就是要問你是從亞洲哪個國家來。這當然是很普通的問題，我常見老外（標準金發碧眼型〕的互相詢問WHERE ARE U FROM？另外一個很自然的答“我從意大利來”，“我從波蘭來”，“我從烏克蘭來”，關鍵看你是否想告訴他你的家譜，或者愿意繼續討論有關的問題，甚至比較敏感的政治問題。到底是中西有別。根據我的經驗，如果想繞開這個話題，一般回答你在過去5年居住的哪個國家的哪個城市就行了，老外就知道你不愿意告訴他你的真實情況。除非你跟他稍微熟了一點，愿意繼續討論。
不想告訴陌生人自己的具體情況是可理解的，而不愿承認自己是中國人是可悲的。

那你可要小心了? 发表于 2005-10-15 05:18:30 (United States)***“如果他问：‘Which China （哪一个中国）？’那你可要小心了，这家伙显然知道台湾问题的重要性和敏感性，但却不一定承认台湾是中国领土不可分割的一部分。”>>>就算人家不认为台湾是中国领土不可分割的一部分，那也只是人家的个人政治观点，有什么好小心的？中国人都以为自己是什么政治人物，拿鸡毛当令箭
