    近日,一位在成都熊猫基地挑着担子卖水果的嬢嬢在网上火了,嬢嬢操着一口流利的英语,与外国顾客无障碍交流。无数网友为她的英语点赞,评论称“现在卖水果的要求这么高吗”“尽管语法和发音上有所欠缺,但基本都能听懂”。

    Recently, a woman from Chengdu who fluently speaks English while selling fruits became popular in a video. In the video, she effortlessly converses with a foreign friend and is praised for her excellent English. Some netizens commented, "Are high English skills now a requirement for selling fruits?"

     

    这位爆红的嬢嬢名叫谢洪英,今年49岁,卖水果已有10余年。提到为什么要学英语,她表示,2019年她遇到了一位外国人买水果,由于双方语言不通,只能用肢体语言沟通交流。事后她想,万一下次再遇到外国人买水果怎么办?不能一直靠着肢体语言交流吧,她就买了一本英汉词典自学英语。如今,她已经能够大方自信地向外国游客推销自己的水果。

    This fruit seller is named Xie Hongying, 49 years old, and has been selling fruits for over 10 years.Why did she learn English? Xie Hongying explained that in 2019, she encountered a foreigner buying fruits. They couldn't communicate verbally and had to rely on body language, yet they managed to do business. Afterward, she thought, "What if I encounter another foreigner buying fruits? I can't always rely on body language," and thus, she made up her mind to self-learn English.

     

    来自巴基斯坦的留学生Habi也对这位嬢嬢产生了浓厚的兴趣,决定用英文帮她卖水果,他能成功吗?

    Habi from Pakistan and now studying in China was impressed by Xie. He wanted to help her sell fruits in English.
