Ivanka Trump is getting to work teaching youngest son Theodore another languagejust one week after her baby boy celebrated his first birthday.

伊万卡 特朗普正忙着教她的小儿子西奥多另一门语言，一周前西奥多才刚庆祝了他一周岁的生日。

The 35-year-old mother of three posted a picture on Tuesday of herselfand Theodore playing in the living room of her $5.5million Kalorama home inWashington DC, writing: 'The best moment of the day!'

这位35岁的三个孩子的母亲周四上传了一张她与西奥多在她华盛顿卡罗拉马地段价值550万美元房子的客厅里玩耍的照片，并写到：“最美好的时刻！”

And sitting right in front of baby Theodore was a set of building blockscovered in colorful Chinese symbols.

西奥多面前摆放着一套印有五颜六色汉字的积木。

Theodore was playing with the Uncle Goose Chinese Character Blocks, which aimsto teach children the symbols and pronunciation of animals names in Mandarin.

西奥多正玩着鹅叔叔汉字积木，通过积木可以让孩子学习动物的中文字符和发音。

The $43 set featured 32 wooden blocks with the symbols and words on one sideand the animal it represents on the other. 

这套价值43美元的32块木质积木，一面写有汉字和词语，其所代表的动物则画在另一面。

It appears to be a pretty effective teaching tool as well given the proficiencywith which Ivanka's 5-year-old daughter Arabella speaks the language.

这看起来是一种相当有效的教学工具，伊万卡五岁大的女儿阿拉贝拉也是通过这种方式熟练地讲中文。


 
Ivanka hasalso immersed her children in the Chinese culture, and posted a video or photoof Arabella over the past four years to mark the Chinese New Year. 

伊万卡也让她的孩子们了解中国文化，她上传了阿拉贝拉在过去四年中庆祝中国春节的视频和照片。

Arabella is quite the star in China as a result and has appeared in two videosthat went viral on the country's social media platforms after being posted byher mother. including one

阿拉贝拉在中国相当的火，她妈妈上传的两个阿拉贝拉的视频病毒般的传遍了中国的社交媒体平台。

One of those videos, which shows Arabella reciting Tang Dynasty poems inMandarin while dressed in a traditional Chinese blouse, has close to 100millionviews.

其中一个接近一亿播放量的视频里可以看到，阿拉贝拉穿着传统的中国服饰，背诵着唐诗。


  
This year, mother and daughter made their way to the Chinese Embassy inWashington DC to attend a party celebrating the lunar new year that was hostedby Ambassador Cui Tiankai.

今年，这对母女前往华盛顿的中国大使馆参加了由崔天凯大使主持的庆祝农历新年的晚会。

Arabella was dressed in head-to-toe red as she is every year to celebrate thenew year.

阿拉贝拉从头到脚都是红色穿着，她每年都会庆祝农历新年。

Ivanka and her daughter walked through the crowd with with Ambassador Tankaiand spoke about their love of China, a country that is home to one of thefamily's closest friends, Wendi Deng.

伊万卡母女和大使崔天凯走过人群，并表达了她们对中国的喜爱，同时中国也是她们家庭最亲密的朋友邓文迪的故乡。

Mother and daughter then had the honor of enjoying a musical performance at theevent, which showcased some dancing and opera as well as acrobatics.

母女两人也荣幸的欣赏了晚会上的表演，包括舞蹈、戏曲和杂技。

The pair later posed for some photos with the performers, who were dressed intraditional Chinese attire, while Arabella could be seen enjoying some of theChinese food that was put out or guests. 

随后两人上传了一些与穿着中国服饰的演员的合照，可以看到阿拉贝拉正享受着为宾客准备的中国美食。

If your children can't speak Chinese, you probably are not educated sufficiencyfor this century. The education system in Australia and Britain has gone topot!

如果你的孩子不会讲中文，说明你可能没有受过太多的教育。澳大利亚和英国的教育水平现在已经一落千丈。

Well we know that the trumps are big fans of having their products made inChina so the grandkids might as well learn how to speak the language

特朗普一家都想要把产品交给中国制造，所以小孩们也会去学怎么说中文。

This worries me A LOT!!! And, I am a conservative. Why is she doing this?

这让我很担心！！！我是保守派，为什么她要这么做？

Taras
Hum! Why Chinese? Something we don't know?

哼，为什么是中文？有什么不为人知的事情？

EBWay_
Theodore? Really? Where's Alvin and Simon? They might want to master Englishbefore dabbling into other languages, especially Don the Con.

西奥多？真的？阿尔文和西蒙在哪？可能他们想在接触中文前先掌握英语，特别是Don the Con（不知道是谁）

Why are we seeing how privileged her family is? 

为什么我们要关注她的家庭是多么多么优越？

If I had millions and nannies my kids would be curing cancer. ;)

要是我有几百万和很多保姆，我的孩子都能去治疗癌症了。

No it doesn't take money to learn something, it takes desire, will, determination!Something you Yanks lack these days! 

（回楼上）学习一些东西并不需要钱，只需要渴望、意志、决心！这些都是你们美国佬现在缺少的东西！！

Ivanka is awesome. The more people attack her the classier she gets.

伊万卡太棒了。越多的人攻击她，她就变得越优雅。

Baroness Discordea -> Scooby
That is not possible. 

（回楼上）瞎扯蛋。

Meh...
And? Italian and English (well, Southern) were my 'crib languages' and I'vepicked up French and Spanish along the way. Good for her.

然后？意大利语和英语（南部）是我婴儿时期的语言，但一路下来我选择了法语和西班牙语。祝她好运。

LesPaul
Of course! It helps to speak the language of your manufacturers. Maybe Ivankashould send daddy some A B C blocks.....Nah. That would just confuse him.

当然，对于学习你的制造商的语言这很有帮助。也许伊万卡该送她爸爸一套ABC积木….算了，这可能会让他有点糊涂。

Baroness Discordea -> LesPaul
Accidentally red voted. My bad! Sorry! :/

（回楼上）不小心点了踩，我的错，抱歉！

I respect the decision of parents to teach their children other languages. Itopens so many interesting doors in one's life, not only career-wise, butculturally and in forging life-long valuable relationships.

我尊重父母让孩子学习其他语言的决定。这会开启孩子一生当中许多有意思的大门，不仅仅是职业生涯方面，而且从文化角度和塑造终身价值观方面也是。

EBWay_ -> Emma
Yeah too bad the grandfather hates anyone that's different and speaks alanguage other than English.

（回楼上）是的，但糟糕的是，爷爷讨厌所有不说英语的人。

While I think this may a bit early, it is good to learn different languages. Welive in a global society!

学习不同的语言挺好的，但我觉得这有点早了。我们生活在一个全球社会。

It's not too early. Children around the world speak two languages from veryearly ages. They absorb everything. My family wasn't even rich , far from it,and I could speak, read and write two languages from two languages all my life.From the first day I began to write or read. As far as I could talk, u couldspeak two languages. As a baby I was spoken to in two languages. My youngestbrother unfortunately has a different mom, she didn't speak to him in anotherlanguage so he only speaks English. But the rest of us 3 kids, we can die rlycommunicate in two languages

（回楼上）不算太早。说两门语言的小孩从很早的年纪就开始学了。他们能沉浸于所有事情中。我的家庭并不富裕，而且差得远呢，我能读、说和写两门语言。刚开始我能读和写，然后能够说（原文好乱，看得我晕，反正就是能说两门语言）。当我是个宝宝的时候大人们就用两种语言和我说话。不幸的是我最小的同父异母的弟弟，他妈妈只和他用一门语言交流，所以他只会英语。但我们中剩下的3个人可以用两门语言交流。

Adam March
Good idea. 

好主意！

roxieann
Now take you're whole family and move to China.

现在你们全家都搬到中国去吧。

Adam March -> roxieann
The children are learning Mandarin and you're not capeable of English?! May beyou ..

（回楼上）孩子们在学中文而你却搞不定英语？（指楼上的语法有错误）也许你…

Children learn fastest from other children. Knew a family who lived next doorto a Chinese family and both sets of children were bi-lingual simply throughgrowing up together. Little kids may use both languages in one sentence butthey soon figure it out . Plenty of European children are multi-lingual.

小孩子学起来比较快。听说有户人家住在一家中国人隔壁，两个家庭的孩子一起成长，结果两个孩子都会两门语言。孩子们可能会在一个句子里同时使用两种语言，但是很快他们就能明白这个问题。很多欧洲的儿童都会多门语言。

EWA
That family repulse me.

这家子让我心生厌恶。

Adam March -> EWA
I wonder who actually voted for them?! 

（回楼上）我想到底是谁给他们投的票？

TJ
Oh, good grief.

我的天呐。

NYC Jo
From her Chinese nanny and school 

她的中文是从她中国保姆和学校学的。

Should always wear her hair open!

她应该一直披散着头发。

So smart to teach them languages when they are small & have brains likesponges. Wish I had learned that way.

在他们还小脑袋像海绵一样的时候（指的小孩子脑袋好使）教他们外语是非常聪明的做法。要是我小时候也能像他们一样就好了。
