  杜克大学禁止说中文?歧视中国学生?近日,美国杜克大学生物统计系的助理教授梅根·尼利(Megan Neely)向全系学生发了一封邮件,因涉嫌种族歧视引发关注。

  


  


  邮件中说:有两位教职员工分别找到她,称他们在教学区看到两名中国学生“大声说中文”,想要知道他们的名字,好在之后拒绝这两名学生的实习或项目申请。

  Both faculty members picked out a small group of first-year students who they observed speaking Chinese (in their words, VERY LOUDLY) in the student lounge/study areas. I asked why they were curious about the students’ names. Both faculty members replied that they wanted to write down the names so they could remember them if the students ever interviewed for an internship or asked to work with them for a master’s project.

  这两位教职员工对这些学生表示很失望,认为他们没有抓紧机会练习英语,而且用别人几乎都听不懂的语言大声交流,是非常不懂礼貌。

  They were disappointed that these students were not taking the opportunity to improve their English and were being so impolite as to have a conversation that not everyone on the floor could understand.

  梅根在邮件中劝诫,

  对于国际学生而言,一定一定一定要注意在教学楼中无意说中文可能带来的后果。

  To international students, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep these unintended consequences in mind when you choose to speak in Chinese in the building.

  此外,梅根还表示,希望学生能够抓住机会提高英文水平。

  当地时间周六下午,该系所属学院,医学院院长向学生发信致歉,称助理教授梅根已辞去主任职务,澄清杜克大学不会限制学生沟通的语言,也不会因为用什么语言而影响学生的职业发展。据该校知情人士透露,杜克大学已安排该系教师与三名中国学生代表在周日中午面谈讨论该事。

  


  


  有网友在知乎上表达自己对此事的意见,称:

  选择保持自己的文化身份认同或者是选择融入新的环境,这只是两种不一样的选择,并没有高下之分。每个人应该都有权利选择适合自己但不影响它人的生活方式,每个选择都是值得受到尊重的。强迫它人接受不合适的生活方式,非常不礼貌。

  


  梅根的邮件似乎并没有种族歧视的恶意,提醒学生不要大声说话,保持礼貌,督促学生练习英文也无可厚非,反而是那两位指出学生们大声讲中文的教职员工的行为更有争议。
