Hot Engine Plan On March 4, the Montreal station of the Diving World Cup came to an end, and in the women's 10-meter platform held in the finale, Chen Yuxi defeated Quan Hongchan to become a triple champion. In the post-game interview, the whole process was answered in English, but I didn't expect this move to arouse questions and anger from many netizens.
Netizen comments: Our diplomats speak in Chinese, is it difficult that they don't know foreign languages, on the contrary, speaking Chinese is a kind of dignity!
Netizen comments: Giving an acceptance speech in such a large-scale event represents the country, and our country is also promoting the Chinese language to the world, and I personally think that the Chinese language should still be spoken.
Netizen comments: As a Chinese, this is to represent China in international competitions. No matter what the reporter interviews or makes a testimonial, he or she should use Chinese or his mother tongue, which is the most basic and the bottom line!
Netizen comments: If a diplomat speaks a foreign language on a formal occasion, it is a mistake, it can also be said to be a diplomatic accident, Chinese in foreign countries, especially in front of **, must speak Chinese!
Netizen comments: It is true that to deal with such a major international competition interview, it should be more Chinese. Even if it's an active atmosphere, a sentence at the beginning or end is enough. I feel that Chen's mentality is still a little impatient, and he answers foreign reporters in English throughout the whole process, which is nothing more than trying to show himself and belittle the teammates next to him for being uneducated, which is really unnecessary. A true world champion is not only strong, but also big-hearted.
Netizen comments: I really don't understand, Chinese athletes don't just say that she can speak English, get an English to speak, don't like her really for a reason, how many meanings are really not understood, can't you be a good Chinese?
There are also netizens commenting: Although some of her professional skills are indeed very good, she is still not confident, which is reflected in the fact that Chinese do not speak Chinese, which is absolute cultural unconfidence. A confident world champion, she can just say her own words, and if the other party doesn't understand, there will naturally be an interpreter to help him translate. And you take the initiative to answer reporters' questions in English as a world champion, which is a standard lack of confidence and a shame.
Some netizens also disagreed, commenting: Winning the championship is winning honor for the country. At the scene of a foreign competition, it is no problem for foreign reporters to answer directly in English. You're thinking too much, too.
Many netizens expressed doubts and dissatisfaction with Chen Yuxi's behavior of answering in English throughout the post-match interview. They believe that as a Chinese athlete, answering questions in English on the international stage not only ignores the importance of the mother tongue, but also may give people a sense of disrespect for the country and their own culture.
However, I think such skepticism is too one-sided. First of all, Chen Yuxi chose to answer in English, probably because she has strong English skills and can convey her meaning more fluently and accurately. Fluency in English allows her to better communicate with foreign journalists and express her thoughts and feelings more accurately.
Secondly, the performance of athletes in the competition is what we should pay more attention to. Chen Yuxi defeated Quan Hongchan in the women's 10-meter platform competition and won the triple crown, which is a reflection of her strength and hard work. We should respect her achievements and not focus too much on her choice of language in the interview.
In general, Chen Yuxi's behavior of answering in English throughout the post-match interview has aroused questions and dissatisfaction among some netizens, but we should look at this issue from a broader perspective. We should respect her choices and efforts, and we should pay attention to her excellent performance in the competition. At the same time, we should also encourage athletes to show their personality and characteristics in competitions, so that they can better show their style on the international stage.
