Giản thể: 从台湾回到德国:戴上台湾的“眼镜”看德国(上)
奇怪的是,只有学了外语,才注意到母语的一些特点。只有住在国外,才知道祖国有什么特点。
像我,一个刚刚从台湾留学回国的人,会注意到不少之前从来没有注意到的人和事。前天我从法兰克福机场的行李房出来时,听到一个德国老人大声抱怨:“排队的人太讨厌了!为什么不礼让其他经过的人?”后来我上了高铁,车上没有位子也没有吃的可买。另一位老人家大声骂工作人员,“这什么乱七八糟的!没有位子可坐!德国高铁把客户当牛啊!我会去投诉的!”另外一位小姐抱怨,“什么?没有茶可买也没有吃的可买!你们的服务太烂了!”除了踢足球和出口车子之外,其实我们德国人也是抱怨的世界冠军。听到了那些话,我才意识到我回国了。
到了老家哥廷根的车站,我发现路人很少,人们手上的智能手机更少。在台湾的话,不管是校园里,车上还是路上,都有不少“低头族”。有时候,还可以看到同时玩两个手机的人。德国老人会骂人,他们完全不懂新科技,大多数60岁以上的老人家都不会玩手机。在台湾,连和尚都会玩手机!
台湾的树叶全年绿油油的,天气大多数时候很温和。这个季节,德国树叶已变黄红,秋天的天气又清冷又严酷。气候会不会影响到人民的脾气?使台湾人变温柔,使德国人变暴躁?我发现,连台湾的狗都不会猎公园里的猫,鸟,松鼠等。但有的德国人却会训练他们的狗去猎杀其他小动物或者去进攻人。
另外一个差别是,台湾有很多高楼大厦,城市里都是人。连在公园里,你都不会感到孤单。德国大多数的建筑却很矮,很少房子会有五六层楼。我昨天出门散步半个小时,只看到二十个路人而已。德国人不习惯他们旁边围满了人。德国人少,与之相反,台湾人多,且喜欢热闹,这种差异是不是也会影响到文化?比如,在德国吃饭的时候,一人一盘。看医生时,每人一个医生。我首次在台湾看医生,没想到除了我,房间还有另外两个病人。医生给我诊断时,他们每句话都听得到。如果在德国,这个医生一定会被投诉的。

English: Returning to Germany from Taiwan: Viewing Germany through a Taiwanese Lense (Part 1)
It’s a strange thing that only by studying a foreign language can one finally notice a few unique characteristics of their mother tongue; and only by living abroad can one finally understand what makes their own country special.
Take me for example: I am someone who has just returned home from studying abroad in Taiwan, and I can now notice many situations and people I hadn’t noticed before. The day before yesterday in the Frankfurt Airport, I heard an old German complaining loudly: “The people lining up are so annoying! Why can’t they show courtesy to the people passing through?” Afterwards I got on the high-speed train, and onboard there weren’t any free seats, and there was no food for sale. Another elderly person loudly scolded one of the personnel, saying, “This is a complete mess! There is nowhere to sit! The Inter-City Express (ICE) treats people like cattle! I’m going to make a complaint!” Another young lady complained, “What’s going on? There’s no tea to buy, and there’s no food to buy! Your service is terrible!” In addition to playing football exporting cars, Germany is also the world champion at complaining. When I heard these conversations, I finally became aware I had arrived back home.
When I arrived at the train station in my hometown of Gottingen, I discovered that there were very few people on the street, and even fewer people with smartphones in their hands. If you’re in Taiwan, regardless of whether at a park, in a car or on the street, there will always be many ‘低头族 – dītóuzú’, or ‘smartphone addicts’ (literal translation: ‘drooping head people’). There are even times you can see people playing on two phones at once. Elderly Germans can be abusive, they have completely no understanding of new technologies, and most people over 60 years of age can’t use a mobile phone. In Taiwan, even a Monk can use a smartphone!
The leaves in Taiwan are lush and green all year round, and the weather is warm and mild most of the time. This season in German the leaves have already turned yellow and red, and the Autumn weather is cold and harsh. Is it possible that climate has an impact on people’s temper? Does is cause the Taiwanese to become gentle and kind, while it causes Germans become irritable? I discovered that even dogs in Taiwan won’t hunt in the park for cats, birds, squirrels etc. But there are some Germans who will train their dogs to hunt and kill other small animals, or to attack humans.
Another difference is that Taiwan has many tall buildings and large mansions, and in the cities there are people everywhere. Even in parks you can’t feel alone. In Germany on the other hand, most buildings are very short, and only a few buildings have five or six floors. Yesterday I went out for a half-hour walk, and only saw 20 passer-bys, that’s all. German’s aren’t used to being surrounded by people. In Germany there aren’t many people about. On the contrary, in Taiwan there lots of people, and they like bustle and excitement. Could this difference also be influenced by culture? For example, when you eat in Germany it’s one plate per person; when you see a doctor, each person has their own doctor. When I saw a doctor for the first time in Taiwan, I didn’t expect that in addition to myself, there would be two other patients in the room. When the doctor gave me my diagnosis, they heard every word. If the doctor was in Germany, they would definitely receive complaints.
