杜克大學(xué)禁止學(xué)生說(shuō)中文？涉事助理教授已辭職（雙語(yǔ)）

上周五，美國(guó)杜克大學(xué)一名助理教授向全系學(xué)生發(fā)出的一封電子郵件因涉嫌種族歧視引發(fā)關(guān)注。郵件稱，有兩名教職工向她抱怨說(shuō)有學(xué)生在休息區(qū)“非常大聲地”講中文，并提醒學(xué)生在教學(xué)樓里要百分之百講英語(yǔ)。杜克大學(xué)醫(yī)學(xué)院院長(zhǎng)已就此事道歉，涉事助理教授也已辭職。

A director of graduate studies at Duke University has stepped down after she reportedly asked Chinese students to speak only in English while on campus, even during breaks.

據(jù)報(bào)道，杜克大學(xué)一名研究生項(xiàng)目主任要求中國(guó)學(xué)生在校園內(nèi)只講英語(yǔ)，甚至在休息時(shí)間也只能使用英語(yǔ)聊天。這名項(xiàng)目主任在事件被曝光后辭職。

Megan Neely, an assistant professor at the university, is believed to have sent an email to students on Friday afternoon after receiving complaints from two unnamed colleagues.

據(jù)稱，杜克大學(xué)助理教授梅根·尼利在收到兩名不具名教職員工的投訴后，于上周五下午向?qū)W生們發(fā)送了一封郵件。

“Both faculty members picked out a small group of first year students who they observed speaking Chinese (in their words, VERY LOUDLY) in the student lounge,” she wrote, according to The Duke Chronicle.

據(jù)《杜克紀(jì)事報(bào)》報(bào)道，她在郵件中寫道：“有兩位教職員工看到了幾名一年級(jí)的中國(guó)學(xué)生在休息區(qū)‘大聲說(shuō)中文’。”

“They wanted to write down the names so they could remember them if the students ever interviewed for an internship or asked to work with them for a master’s project.

“他們想要記下這幾個(gè)學(xué)生的名字，如果這些學(xué)生接受實(shí)習(xí)面試或者申請(qǐng)參與研究生項(xiàng)目，就能記起他們。”

“They were disappointed that the students were not taking the opportunity to improve their English and were being so impolite as to have a conversation that not everyone on the floor could understand.”

“兩位教職員工很失望，這些學(xué)生沒有把握機(jī)會(huì)盡力去提高英語(yǔ)水平，他們?cè)跇堑览镉脛e人完全不懂的語(yǔ)言交流也很不禮貌。”

Ms Neely then warned students to “keep these unintended consequences in mind when you choose to speak Chinese in the building.”

梅根在郵件中提醒說(shuō)，“當(dāng)你選擇在教學(xué)樓里說(shuō)中文時(shí)，要注意這些意外后果。”

The assistant professor added that while she had the “utmost respect” for international students, she encouraged them to “commit to using English 100% of the time” while in university buildings and in professional settings.

這位助理教授還補(bǔ)充說(shuō)，盡管她“極其尊重”國(guó)際學(xué)生，但還是鼓勵(lì)他們?cè)诮虒W(xué)樓和討論專業(yè)內(nèi)容時(shí)“只說(shuō)英語(yǔ)”。
