Teaching Chinese


Paul的爸爸送給Paul一件上衣，上面有三個中文字。
Paul’s father gave Paul a shirt with three Chinese characters on it.
Paul說這三個字念Wall Eye Knee。就是I Love You 。
Paul said these three words read Wall Eye Knee. Which meant “ I Love You.”
可是,中中說：「不對！不對！應該念：「 我 愛 你。」
But, Zhongzhong said: “No! No! You should read: “I love you.”
大家說 ：「哇！中中會中文，真了不起。」
Everyone said: “Wow! Zhongzhong can speak Chinese, really amazing.”
老師要中中教大家中文。中中就教他們：日、月、山、人、女，
The teacher wants Zhongzhong to teach everyone Chinese. Zhongzhong taught them: sun, moon, mountains, people, women,
中中又教他們：兒、馬、鳥、魚。
Zhongzhong also taught them: children, horses, birds, and fish.
大家說：「Ah! Easy！Easy!」
Everyone said: “Ah! Easy! Easy!”
中中又把兩個字合起來，變成另外一個字。
Zhongzhong combined the two characters to form another character.
Paul說：「Ah! Magic! Magic!」
Paul said: “Ah! Magic! Magic!”
大家都說：「學中文太好玩了。」
Everyone said, “Learning Chinese is so much fun.”
大家都想學中文。 Everyone wants to learn Chinese.
中中告訴大家：「學中文，四個聲調很重要。」
Zhongzhong told everyone: “To learn Chinese, the four tones are very important.”
中中要大家跟他念：
Zhongzhong asks everyone to repeat after him carefully:
媽媽騎馬，馬慢媽媽罵馬。
Mom rides a horse, and the horse is slow. Mom scolds the horse
大家很用心地念，可是念來念去，還是念得亂七八糟。
Everyone read it very carefully, but after reading it over and over again, it was still a mess.
校長看見大家都叫中中Mom! Mom! Mom!…嚇了一大跳，不知道發生了什麼事？
The principal was shocked when he saw everyone calling Zhongzhong Mom! Mom! Mom!… What happened?
