二、阅读理解
(一)
After coming to America, the use of “yes” and “no” brings me a lot of problems, because the use in Korean (韩语) is different from that in English. For example, if I am asked, “Haven’t you had dinner yet ” and I have not had dinner yet, and then in Korean I usually say “Yes, I haven’t.” But in English, I have to say, “No, I haven’t.”
Because of this, my friends often get the opposite meaning from what I want to give them. One day only a month after I came to America, I had dinner with an American student, Bob. He asked me some questions and I answered them sincerely. A few days later, I found some roommates thought that I came from North Korea. Then I stopped by Bob’s room and asked why he was spreading the wrong information. “Oh, you told me
that. Don’t you remember ” he said.“When I asked you ‘You are not from North Korea, are you ’ You clearly answered, ‘Yes, of course.’ Didn’t it mean that you are from North Korea ”
The different use also causes problems between my friends and me. One weekend night, my roommate Mark brought his children into the dorm(宿舍). They made some noise while playing. I didn’t mind the noise since I was just watching TV. The next morning, I met Mark. He asked me with a smile, “Didn’t my
children make noise last night Didn’t it make you uncomfortable ” Because I did not mind the noise at all, I clearly said “Yes!” The smile suddenly disappeared from Mark’s face, and he said, “I am sorry about that. They are going right now. See you later.” I could not understand what he was sorry about, and I just said, “OK. Bye!” After a moment of thinking, I realized how stupid I was. That evening, I explained to Mark and said sorry to him. I knew he thought that I had been very rude.
Now to deal with this problem, I have set simple rules: First, take a five-second break if I am not sure of “yes” or “no”. Second, use “pardon me”, so the person may explain to me in a direct way.
