It's in English
Our four-year-old son speaks English and German, and he has picked up some Cantonese since living in Hong Kong. One day I was getting ready to take him to a rugby game. His mother, not being a rugby fan, planned a quiet afternoon at home. Our son, however, pleaded1. "Come on, Mommy, you must come." "I don't understand the game," she replied. "But it's in English, Mommy!"
我们四岁的儿子说英语和德语，自从到香港居住后，他也能说上几句广东话。
一天我准备带他去看橄榄球比赛。她妈妈不喜欢看橄榄球，为自己安排了一个休闲的下午，我们的儿子求他的妈妈道：
“妈妈，你还是去吧你，应该和我们一起去”
“我不懂这种比赛”她回答。
“妈妈，比赛是用英语讲的。”
