韩国：韩国人是怎么看待新加坡人的

When I was an exchange student at Seoul National University, whenever a Korean local realised that I was Singaporean during our casual conversations in Korean, they generally had very positive impressions of Singapore.
Impressions of Singapore as a clean city-state, as well as respect for Singapore's founding father - the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew, were most often heard.
South Korean locals who had been under the rule of the late President Park Chung-hee would especially be familiar with Mr Lee Kuan Yew, who was a good friend of Park.
In universities, many South Korean students regard getting into the National University of Singapore (싱가포르국립대학) as equally prestigious as getting into any one of the 'SKY' universities - Seoul National University (서울대학교), Korea University (고려대학교) and Yonsei University (연세대학교).

当我还在汉城国立大学当交换生的时候，每当在我和韩国本地人用韩语闲聊，然后他们意识到我是新加坡人的时候，他们通常会对新加坡有一个非常积极的印象。
人们对新加坡的印象常常是是一个干净的城市国家，还有对新加坡开国之父的李光耀先生，也都经常被提起

在已故总统朴正熙的统治下，韩国的本地人尤其熟悉李光耀，他还是朴正熙一个的好朋友。
在大学里，许多韩国大学生认为能够进入新加坡国立大学就和进入任何一所SKY大学一样有声望，（S首尔大学／K高丽大学／Y延世大学）

Because Singapore is so far away and we do not have much interaction with Singapore compared to the big neighbors, China, Japan and the U.S., most people have no opinion really.
Because Hong Kong is much closer to South Korea, people are more familiar with Hong Kong and it somewhat eclipses Singapore.

因为新加坡真的远在天边，相比起我们那些近在眼前的邻居来讲，我们与新加坡也没什么交流，中国啊，日本哇，美国哇，大多数人貌似都没有什么想法
因为香港相比起来更近一些吧，人们更熟悉香港一点，超过了对新加坡认识

Most Koreans don't really think of Singaporeans in daily life, because most of our news articles are about China and Japan, since they are our neighboring countries.
Still, Koreans think that Singapore is a small, rich, clean, safe and strict country in a positive way.
When it comes to traveling to Singapore, all of my Korean female friends have one goal to stay at Marina Bay Sands hotel, just for the pool on the roof. They at least stay there for one night. Also, Korean girls love to shop at Charles and Keith.
When I lived in Singapore, I really enjoyed eating at Hawker Centre and hanging out at Clarke Quay. I felt really safe, even walking around at 11 pm. I didn't see any stray dogs or dangerous looking people. I had mostly positive experiences and wouldn't mind living there again.

大多数韩国日真的不怎么去想新加坡啦，因为大多数的文章报道都是关于中国和日本的，因
为他们都是我们的邻国啊
不过，韩国人认为新加坡是个很小，很有钱，很安全，很严格的国家，在一个很积极的方面

当谈到区新加坡旅游的时候，我所有的韩国盆友都有一个想法是呆在滨海湾金沙酒店，只是为了那里的屋顶的泳池啊。他们最少在那呆个一整晚，而且韩国女孩子喜欢去查尔斯和基思购物。

当我住在新加坡的时候，我确确实实很享受在小贩中心吃饭和在克拉码头闲逛。我感到非常的安全，即使在晚上１１点钟。我没有看到任何流浪狗和看起来很危险的人。我有很愉快的经历，而且不会在意再去那住的

It depends, I was a South Korean who lived in Singapore for 3 and half years.
To be honest, I don’t think Singapore is under the Koreans radar.
People think Singapore is a very nice place to travel and we think this country is rich relatives to their neighboring countries.
In terms of Singaporeans, general Korean population will have lack of knowledge so they will either have no opinion or negative generic stereotypes about South East Asian countries.

这要看情况吧！我是韩国人，我曾经在新加坡带来３年半的时间
老师说，我并不觉得新加坡人受到了韩国人的关注
人们觉得新加坡是个非常好的旅游胜地，我们认为这个国家是他们邻国很富有的亲戚。
就新加坡人看来，普通韩国大众并没有多少知识，所以他们不会有什么看法或者对东南亚国家有什么刻板印象吧

I once lived in Singapore and it was awesome! Korean thinks Singapore is one of the most developed and economic-centered countries in Asia. Not everbody knows well about it, though..

我曾经在新加坡住过一次，那真是棒极啦！韩国仍觉得新加坡是亚洲最发达的国家之一，也是亚洲的经济中心的国家，虽然这不是每个人都知道

They think Singaporeans are Chinese or at least dominated by Chinese diaspora. They see it as another Taiwan. By they I mean Korean people who had little exposure to Singapore

他们认为新加坡人都是中国人，或者至少中国华侨占了主导的地位。他们觉得那只是另一个台湾。我指的是很少接触新加坡的韩国人。

My best friend lives in Singapore.
She’s sweet and loyal.
She both speaks Chinese and English, so
we usually speak in English.
I love her and i adore her.
Because of her, i think that Singaporeans are very good, loyal, smart,
hard-working people. (Because she’s of Chinese origin, i have a very good impression toward Chinese people too)
What i like the most about her is that she’s so loyal as a friend.
I really love that quality in her, and I hope God bless our
friendship forever more.
:)

我最好的盆友住在新加坡
它又甜又很忠诚
她既说英语也说汉语
所以我们通常用英语交流，说以
我很爱她我也很崇拜她
是因为她，我觉得新加坡的子民都非常好，那么的忠诚，和那么智慧
那是一群勤劳又刻苦的人们（因为她祖上是在中国，所以我对中国人也颇有好感）
我最喜欢的她的那一点就是她对盆友一心不二
我非常喜欢她的品质
手牵手，拍拍手，永远都是好朋友。欧耶

They think of Singapore as a successful model for a country that had independence from England through leadership of a dictator-like benefactor when S.E. Asia/Asia was rife with similar men of power.
They are envied for their high quality multi-lingual education that continues to fuel divided families; who send children/spouse with hopes of an Asian based education springboard for further education opportunities to Europe/America.
Recently, they have found Singaporeans appear lost amongst the recent government policies to expand their population base, and feeling like second class citizens in a very international job market where the expats are reign superior.
他们觉得新加坡是一个成功的典范，，因为新加坡是一个独立于英国的国家，因为它是一个独裁者般的捐助者的领袖。当东南亚/亚洲到处都是有权力的人时。

他们都对那里的极其优质的多语言教育羡慕不已，继续助长家庭的分崩离析；是那些以教育为基础的亚洲人寄予希望，把他们的孩子送到欧洲或者美国进一步接受教育的跳板。

最近，他们发现新加坡人似乎在政府最近扩大人口基础的政策中迷失了方向，他们觉得自己就像在一个非常国际化的就业市场中的二等公民。外籍人的统治是优越的。

My Korean friend who studied in Singapore for 12 years and just recently returned to Seoul for good said that when she mentioned she'd studied and lived in Singapore, her peers thought of her as a rich and well-educated. So... probably that?

我的一个韩国盆友她曾经在新加坡学里整整１２年了，最近才回首尔做事情，每次提到她的在新加坡所受的学习和教育，她的同龄人都认为她是家财万贯和博学多才的，所以。。也许就是因为这个原因吧？

For me, when I hear Singaporeans,
it means they are very smart, rich, and some countries that we can learn from. But I have to admit most of S. Koreans don't really mind Singaporeans. It is like when you go to America, and you say I am from Korea, and no body really bothers to ask questions about Korea unless they are interested in Korean culture or anything related to Korea.

那就意味着他们都是七窍玲珑的学霸们，都是腰缠万贯的富豪们，也是一个我们能够虚心学习的国家好榜样。但是我不得不承认一件事就是，大多数的韩国人都不鸟新加坡人，这啊，就好像你要去美国了，然后你说你是从韩国来的，他们没有一个人会问你一个关于韩国的问题除非他们真的对韩国文化特别感兴趣，或者有什么和韩国相关的事
