我是一个用中文写作的作家。依我的理解,中文就是中国人使用的文字。在更多情况下,这种语言有另一个称谓:汉语。这个词定义了这种语言属于一个特定的民族:汉族。如果这样定义,民族主义者自然会义正辞严地责问,为什么不用母语写作?你不爱自己的民族?中国地理版图内生活着五十六个民族。国家宪法也认定,中国是一个多民族的国家,如果你要顺利完成与所有人的交流,你就必须使用一种公共语言。 I am a writer who writes in Chinese. In my understanding, Chinese is the Chinese language. In more cases, this language has another name: Chinese. This term defines the language belongs to a particular nation: Han. If so defined, the nationalist would naturally uprightly question why he did not write in his native language. Do you not love his own people? There are 56 ethnic groups in China’s geographic territory. The national constitution also affirmed that China is a multi-ethnic country and you must use a common language if you want to successfully complete the communication with all people.
