Chapter 24 Language Barrier between Chinese and Foreigners.
第24章 中外之间的语言障碍。
Do you know any foreign experts here in China?
你认识在中国工作的外国专家吗？
No, language is a real barrier between Chinese and foreign experts. As more and more people learn English, however, foreign experts can share their knowledge more easily.
I agree. The language barrier is a roadblock to potential cooperation between foreigners and Chinese.
我同意，语言障碍妨碍了中外进一步合作。
I feel that since many foreign experts came to China to work, they may have not studied Chinese before. They only know English so they might be isolated from the real China.
我觉得很多外国专家来中国工作以前，可能根本没有学过中文，他们只会讲英语，所以可能很难真正了解中国。
Right, it's isolating. So, how can people break through this isolation and start getting through to each other? This is an urgent topic to put in front of people.
对，这是一种孤立。那么人们如何才能打破这种孤立局面，开始互相沟通呢？这是人们面临的一个紧迫问题。
It is an urgent toopic, indeed.
的确是这样。
Now English has gone global. It is not limited to people in England or the United States. In more and more countries people are using English. So maybe this is how to do it.
