“Why did you come to China?”
“你為何來到中國？”
One of the most asked questions, yet also one of the most difficult to answer.
這是一個最常被問到的問題，也是最難以回答的問題。
This morning's elevator conversation quickly found it's way to this question via this route:
這個早上的電梯會談是快速通向這個問題的途徑：
Do you work or study here？
“你在這兒工作還是學(xué)習(xí)？”
Work.
“工作”
Where are you from?
“你來自哪里？”
California.
“加利福尼亞”
Then why did you come to China?
“那你為什么要來中國？”
This question has vexed me because I don't quite know the answer. Occasionally I reply that when I know why I'm in China, then I'll probably go home.
這個問題使我煩惱，因為我也不太清楚答案是什么。偶爾我會回答說，當(dāng)我知道我為什么來中國的時候，那么我可能就會回家了。
One of the things that bothers me is that it is implied that the person wouldn't know why I came to China, as if they think coming here was a poor decision and are curious why I made it. This leads me to ponder, was it a poor decision? Thus it is something I'm constantly trying to define and decide for myself.
困擾我的事情之一就是，這暗示著人們不知道我為什么要來中國，好像他們認(rèn)為來這里是個糟糕的決定，好奇我為什么會這么做。這使我深思，這確實是個糟糕的決定嗎？因此這是某種我不斷嘗試為自己定義和決定的事情。
While there certainly is no definite answer, I am just curious to hear other people's thoughts on this question. Do you flippantly reply, or does it also make you question your life?
當(dāng)然，這里沒有明確的答案，我只是想聽聽別人對這個問題的看法。你會漫不經(jīng)心地回答？或者它也讓你質(zhì)疑你的生活？
