宣传委员竞选稿
并非只有亚洲人才能感觉到这种关系的颠倒并不是一个巨大的进步。蔡美尔一谈到宽松自由的家长作风中的虚伪和不负责任就滔滔不绝。“在孩子15岁之前总是说，‘考试分数不重要，你样样都好，我们爱你，只管追求自己的爱好吧。’然后，突然就到了 ‘噢，你该上最好的大学。’这些父母，我想他们最后只能自己替孩子写论文，事实上，他们只能代替孩子工作，他们没后为孩子自己的人生做好准备。”
她稍作停顿，不过接下来却是更多招人辱骂的言论：“如果他们的孩子一次考试考砸了，他
们第一句话就是，‘嗯，这是学校歧视，哪里出问题啦，老师太差劲了。’永远都不会说‘孩子，你要加把劲啊。’问题永远都不是出在自己身上。”avia
我慢慢明白了为什么蔡美尔成了美国人最仇视的对象。这边你在欺骗自己，你的孩子整天玩着iPods和手机，注意力不集中，但是依然学业优秀，健康成长；那边却来了个中国女人，她在自己的书里写着西方父母如何把自己的孩子推向平庸和堕落。读起来，这些孩子就像是一个国家、一个民族的类比，这个民族正在将自己的霸权输给另一个民族。
B. Translate the following paragraphs into English.
Recently, Amy Chua, a law professor from Yale University, threw a spiritual atomic bomb in America. Her article, “Why Chine Mothers Are Superior” published in Wall Street Journal, is actually an extract of her new book The Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mothersaxons, which claims that the strict parenting style of Chine families has made their children excellent in America (like her two daughters, being forced to practice the piano and violin), while western parents give up their responsibility with the excu of respecting children’ambients personality. A heated debate broke out immediately. Within a few days, more th
an one million people throughout the world have read about this news and made comments on line, according to Times2012英语’ report.
So I went shopping for a copy of this book, but not available on the shelf. A young shop assistant told me excitedly, “This woman has committed child abu! Although she didn’t do physical abu, is spiritual abu allowed?” He told me he was a quarter Chine by blood and knew a lot about Chine style of education. He sounded like living proof of the pain of strict Chine education and the joy of lax Western education, so I switched the topic, pointing at his name card and asking, “Where have you got the Jewish name Aaron?” He told me his mother was Jewish. I told him that Amy Chau’s husband was also Jewish. After chatting about the match between the Chine and Jews for a while, he finally went down to the stock room and found the last copy for me.
