第一次到一个国家不会当地语言，可为什么中国人还能轻易的在全世界到处开店呢？（下） [美国媒体]

How come Chinese people set up their China stores easily everywhere in the world even though they don't speak the local language and they are there for the first time in their life?

It’s not so surprising since Chinese have been doing that since two thousand years ago.

这没啥好奇怪的，中国人2000年前就已经这么干了。

The currency history dated back to late Shang Dynasty, 1500 to 1600 BC. The first metal cast shell currency found was around that time. And after Qin unified China and unified currency, built the first copper, gold reserve of the world, merchandise exchange in China is fundamentally the same as of today.

货币历史可以追溯到商朝，公元前1500-1600年。大约在那个时间发现了金属铸造的货币。在秦统一中国和货币后，建成了世界首个铜币和黄金储备，直到今天中国的商品交换基本还是一样的。



So, that generation of Chinese were particularly good at setting up shop in another country. Even though they don’t know the language and the country, they always adjust to fit in, and apply the experience their ancestors had been doing to make a living.

所以那一代的中国人特别擅长在其他国家开店，虽然他们不会说当地语言，但是他们总是适应，应用他们祖先的经验来谋生。

Funding and assistance from other Chinese. So you get shipped over to the United States to work for a Chinese restaurant for your uncle. After a few years, you learn how to operate a restaurant and your uncle will loan money for your own restaurant. You hire your relatives and the process continues.

其他中国人提供资金和帮助。比如你去美国为你叔叔开的中餐馆打工。几年后，你学会了餐馆经营，然后你叔叔会贷款给你让你自己开店，然后你再雇佣你自己的亲属，就这样重复下去。

If you’re a recent arrival and cannot speak the local tongue, what are your chances of landing a job, especially if you look distinct from the locals?

如果你是新来的移民不会说当地语言，看起来就不像当地人，那么你找到工作的几率有多大？

One time I visited my daughter at Berkeley, California . We saw some panhandlers. I asked my daughter, if Dad came penniless to the US, would Dad end up being a panhandler. She said, absolutely not. Why? “ Because you don’t want to be .” She was spot on. I think that’s the attitude of many in the Asian diaspora — they want to successful. Witness, for example, the spectacular rise of the Indians in American society.

有一次我去加州伯克利看我女儿。我们看到了一些乞丐。我问女儿，如果爸爸身无分文来到美国也会成为乞丐吗。她说，绝对不会，为什么？“因为你不想成为乞丐”。她说的没错，我认为这就是很多亚裔的态度——他们想要成功。因为他们看到了印度人在美国社会的崛起。
