Question

You may know the English letters A,B and C. But do you know there are people called ABC? You may like eating bananas. But did you know there is such a thing as a "banana person" "How strange! Are these people from "another earth"? No. They are just Chinese people like you and me.

ABC means American-born Chinese. An ABC is a Chinese, but was born in the United States. Sometimes, people call an ABC a "banana person". A banana is yellow outside and white inside. So, when a person is a banana, he or she is white inside - thinking like a Westerner and yellow outside - looking like a Chinese.

Do you know why? Usually, ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language. Some of them don't speak Chinese. But if ABCs cannot speak Chinese, can we still call them Chinese people? Yes, of course. They are Chinese. They are overseas Chinese. These people may be citizens of another country like the US, Canada or Singapore. But they have Chinese blood, Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China They all have black eyes and black hair.

But they are not Chinese citizens. They are not people of the PRC. For example, we all know the famous scientist C. N. Yang (楊振寧). He got the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1957. Chinese people love him. But he is an American citizen.

【解析】

試題分析：你可能知道英文字母A,B和c,但你知道有些人稱為ABC嗎?你可能喜歡吃香蕉。但是你知道有一種東西“香蕉人”“多么奇怪!這些人來(lái)自另一個(gè)“地球”嗎?不。他們只是中國(guó)像你和我這樣的人。ABC是出生在美國(guó)的中國(guó)人。ABC是一個(gè)中國(guó)人,但出生在美國(guó)。有時(shí),人們叫ABC“香蕉人”。香蕉里面外面是黃色和白色的。所以,當(dāng)一個(gè)人是一個(gè)香蕉,他或她是白色內(nèi)-外像西方人一樣思考和黃色看起來(lái)像一個(gè)中國(guó)人。你知道為什么嗎?通常,abc對(duì)中國(guó)知之甚少或漢語(yǔ)。他們中的一些人不講漢語(yǔ)。但如果abc不能說(shuō)中文,我們還可以稱之為中國(guó)人民嗎?是的,當(dāng)然。他們是中國(guó)人。他們是海外華人。這些人可能是另一個(gè)國(guó)家的公民就像美國(guó),加拿大或者新加坡。但他們有中國(guó)的血液,他們的父母,甚至祖父母或曾祖父母來(lái)自中國(guó)他們都有黑色的眼睛和黑色的頭發(fā)。但他們不是中國(guó)公民。他們不是中華人民共和國(guó)的人。例如,我們都知道著名的科學(xué)家楊振寧。在1957年他獲得了諾貝爾物理學(xué)獎(jiǎng)。中國(guó)人民愛(ài)他。但他是一個(gè)美國(guó)公民。
