1997年11月20～23日,应邀赴美国田纳西州纳什维尔市参加了美国中文教师学会年会暨学术研讨会。改革开放以来,中外交流日益频繁,汉语对外教学事业不断发展。在美国的短短4天中,我亲身感受到“汉语热”。过去,在美任教的中文教师,除美国人之外,以台湾教师为多。这次我发现,来自中国大陆的中文教师已比台湾教师多。但不管来自祖国的哪一个地区,其共同目的都是弘扬中华文化,推广汉语,让中国语言文化融入美国语言文化。会议期间,有好几位教师谈到,诺贝尔文学奖获得者、西班牙作家塞拉说过,未来世界上的通用语言将是英语、汉语、西班牙语和阿拉伯语。大家认为,如果这一预言实现,那么,美国的第一外语将是汉语。因为从人口、文化、经济实力和综合国力来看,汉语必将成为强势语言,非西语、阿语可比,尽管西班牙语现在仍是美国的第一外语。
From November 20 to November 23, 1997, he was invited to attend the annual meeting and symposium of the American Chinese Teachers’ Association in Nashville, Tenn., USA. Since the reform and opening up, the exchanges between China and foreign countries have been more frequent and the overseas Chinese teaching has been developing continuously. In just 4 days in the United States, I personally experienced “Chinese fever.” In the past, there were more Chinese teachers in the United States than the United States, with more teachers in Taiwan. This time, I found that there are more Chinese teachers from mainland China than from Taiwan teachers. However, regardless of the region from the motherland, its common goal is to promote Chinese culture, promote Chinese and integrate Chinese language and culture into American language and culture. During the conference, several teachers talked about the fact that the Nobel Prize laureate and Spanish writer Serra said that the common language in the future world would be English, Chinese, Spanish and Arabic. Everyone believes that if this prophecy comes to fruition, then the first foreign language in the United States will be Chinese. Because from the population, culture, economic strength and overall national strength, Chinese is bound to become a strong language, non-Western, Arabic comparable, although Spanish is still the United States’s first foreign language.
