Many foreigners who go to China get upset because most people in China don't speak English. What's your opinion?

The meaning of travel is to experience the unknown and the different
When an American takes a 12-hour flight to a travel destination,
he finds that people here speak American English, eat McDonald's, discuss Trump's shooting, and are keen on the NBA league.
He must think that buying this ticket is a stupid choice.
China is so different, which is the key reason why many Westerners visit China. If some people are unhappy about this, then staying at home would be a better choice.
旅行的意義在于體驗(yàn)未知和不同
當(dāng)一個(gè)美國(guó)人坐12個(gè)小時(shí)的飛機(jī)到達(dá)一個(gè)旅行目的地，
他發(fā)現(xiàn)這里的人說美式英語，吃麥當(dāng)勞，討論特朗普的槍擊，熱衷于NBA聯(lián)賽。
他一定覺得買這張票是個(gè)愚蠢的選擇。
中國(guó)太不一樣了，這也是很多西方人來中國(guó)旅游的關(guān)鍵原因。
如果有人對(duì)此不滿意，那么呆在家里會(huì)是更好的選擇。

We flied a few thousands to other countries such as Thailand, Vietnam, France, Saudi, we found they do not speak Chinese, do we upset?? Definitely not.
我們飛了幾千里到泰國(guó)、越南、法國(guó)、沙特等國(guó)家，發(fā)現(xiàn)他們不說中文，我們會(huì)不高興嗎？當(dāng)然不會(huì)。
Seen a lot of china travel blogs
But i had a childhood dream of visiting disney land hongkong
I used to think hongkong is a adventure land which only has one thing that is disney land and all disney character were born there
If u ever visit india , dont visit delhi or mumbai , rather visit goa , kashmir or andhmaan
看了很多中國(guó)旅游博客
但我兒時(shí)的夢(mèng)想是參觀香港（特區(qū)）迪士尼樂園
我曾經(jīng)認(rèn)為香港（特區(qū)）是一個(gè)冒險(xiǎn)樂園，整個(gè)地方就是迪士尼樂園，所有的迪士尼角色都是在那里誕生的
如果你去印度，不要去德里或孟買，去果阿、克什米爾或安達(dá)曼
Shanghai disney is largest disney, and brand new. more characters.
上海迪士尼是最大的迪士尼，還是全新的，有更多的角色。
Those foreigners should learn Chinese, if they have to visit China for their survival. Now things are getting worst, China is getting more and more haves where those cancerous white skinned guys going down and down.
那些外國(guó)人如果要來中國(guó)生存，就應(yīng)該學(xué)中文?，F(xiàn)在情況越來越糟，中國(guó)越來越多有錢人，而那些患癌的白人正在衰退。

Your third paragraph perfectly describes Chinese, especially the NBA thing
你的第三段完美地描述了中國(guó)人，尤其是關(guān)于NBA的事情

Depending on which Chinese we are talking about. Some Chinese do, especially the young in big cities. The majority of Chinese don’t. And Chinese is a big population. A tiny portion of that population might result in millions and even tens of millions of people. So don’t be surprise when you find both types :)
看我們說的是哪類中國(guó)人。有些中國(guó)人會(huì)，尤其是大城市的年輕人。大多數(shù)中國(guó)人不會(huì)。而且中國(guó)人口眾多。這部分人可能會(huì)有數(shù)百萬甚至數(shù)千萬人。所以，當(dāng)你發(fā)現(xiàn)兩種類型的人時(shí)，不要驚訝:)
I have never cared about the NBA, once someone told me that Kobe died because of a plane crash, I hope I can say a few words of mourning.I said I didn't know who Kobe was, and I didn't mourn his death.If I had to mourn the death of someone on the far side of the earth, I'd be exhausted.
He talked to me for a long time about Kobe's greatness and what kind of person he was, and finally I concluded by saying, "It was a good half hour of lunch break, now we should go to work."
我從來不關(guān)心NBA，有人告訴我科比因飛機(jī)失事去世，我希望我能說幾句哀悼的話。我說我不知道科比是誰，我也不為他的死感到哀悼。如果我必須為地球另一端的某人的去世感到哀悼，我會(huì)筋疲力盡。
他和我聊了很久關(guān)于科比的偉大以及他是一個(gè)怎樣的人，最后我總結(jié)道，“這是一個(gè)不錯(cuò)的午休時(shí)間，現(xiàn)在我們?cè)撊スぷ髁??！?/b>
NBA, like most US exports, is about selling Americana asich as sports. Take away that allure and you have just games. Much like an artwork being considered blotches of paintwork.
NBA和大多數(shù)美國(guó)出口產(chǎn)品一樣，都是在銷售美國(guó)文化，比如體育。去掉那種魅力，你只剩下比賽。就像一件藝術(shù)品被認(rèn)為是斑點(diǎn)畫。
Yo! Nailed it.
喲！說對(duì)了。
Language is an exception: travel experience would be so much richer (easier too but not my point) if you could interact with anybody anywhere.
Upset is not the right word though. I know that magic will not happen.
語言是個(gè)例外：如果你能隨時(shí)隨地與任何人互動(dòng)，旅行體驗(yàn)會(huì)更加豐富（也更容易，但這不是我的重點(diǎn)）。
然而，不高興不是正確的詞。我知道奇跡不會(huì)發(fā)生。
You upset don't go. Learn Mandarin
你不高興就別來。學(xué)普通話。
he finds that people here speak American English, eat McDonald's, discuss Trump's shooting, and are keen on the NBA league.
This would be a funny skit.
I do think that Chinese people talk about America more than any other country, though.
他發(fā)現(xiàn)這里的人說美式英語，吃麥當(dāng)勞，討論特朗普的槍擊事件，并且熱衷于NBA聯(lián)賽。
這將是一個(gè)有趣的小品。
不過，我確實(shí)認(rèn)為中國(guó)人談?wù)撁绹?guó)比任何其他國(guó)家都多。
very ugly american expecting foreign countries to service them in american english particularly when american dollar is worth much less than twenty years agi
非常丑陋的美國(guó)人期望外國(guó)用美式英語為他們服務(wù)，尤其是在美元比二十年前貶值很多的情況下。
My opinion can be summed up in rolling my eyes. How presumptive and arrogant to expect people in non-English speaking countries to speak English for the sake of tourists? That defies common sense.
Sure, many people in China have some English ability from learning some in school, and many are quite eager to practice it with foreigners visiting (although some may be uncomfortable or afraid of speaking incorrectly and pretend they don’t know any), but no one should go there with the assumption that they will be understood by everyone wherever they go, and with a level that reaches fluency.
我的觀點(diǎn)可以用翻白眼來概括。期望非英語國(guó)家的人為了游客而說英語是多么傲慢和自負(fù)？這違背常識(shí)。
當(dāng)然，很多中國(guó)人通過在學(xué)校學(xué)習(xí)掌握了一些英語能力，很多人也非常愿意與來訪的外國(guó)人練習(xí)（盡管有些人可能會(huì)因?yàn)椴皇娣蚝ε抡f錯(cuò)而假裝不會(huì)），但沒有人應(yīng)該認(rèn)為無論他們?nèi)ツ睦锒紩?huì)被所有人理解，并且達(dá)到了流利的水平。
But for heaven’s sake, do not expect an entire country to learn English for your arrival. Who do you think you are? Supreme Overlord of the World?
任何時(shí)候，一個(gè)人訪問一個(gè)不講自己母語的國(guó)家，我建議他們盡量學(xué)一些短語。不是單詞表，而是關(guān)于方向、地標(biāo)（不僅僅是旅游景點(diǎn)，還有酒店、警察局、醫(yī)院、出租車、機(jī)場(chǎng)或廁所）、貨幣和費(fèi)用、食物以及游客可能需要知道的一般事情的實(shí)用短語。手機(jī)上必須安裝翻譯應(yīng)用和貨幣轉(zhuǎn)換應(yīng)用。如果有能力，請(qǐng)一個(gè)翻譯。
但為了上帝的份上，不要指望整個(gè)國(guó)家為你的到來而學(xué)習(xí)英語。你以為你是誰？世界的最高統(tǒng)治者？
Not only China. I’ve visited many countries around the world (in Latin America, Europe, Russia) and not everybody speaks English. If you’re a tourist, you should expect language issues.
不僅僅是中國(guó)。我訪問了世界上許多國(guó)家（在拉丁美洲、歐洲、俄羅斯），并不是所有人都講英語。如果你是游客，你應(yīng)該預(yù)料到語言問題。
I love Google translate. My favorite sushi spot is run by mandarin speakers. The sushi chef speaks no English but we communicate through Google.
He's a chill guy and I've tried things I would have never ordered. I consider him a friend.
我喜歡谷歌翻譯。我最喜歡的壽司店是由說普通話的人經(jīng)營(yíng)的。壽司廚師不會(huì)說英語，但我們通過谷歌交流。
他是一個(gè)很酷的人，我嘗試了我從未點(diǎn)過的東西。我把他當(dāng)作朋友。
Thanks Annie for voicing out with rational logic to this sort of nonsense question. The first person crossing my mind is an Indian female YouTuber who visited China recently. Anyone who is interested in what she behaved and said during her stay can search online. It can seen as another offbeat answer…
感謝你用理性邏輯回應(yīng)了這種無稽之談。我首先想到的是最近訪問中國(guó)的一位印度女YouTuber。任何對(duì)她在中國(guó)期間的行為和言論感興趣的人都可以在線搜索。這可以被看作是另一個(gè)離奇的回答……
The most wonderful people are those who are able speak multiple languages, not only dialects.
Why must always please one. Why not the other way round?
最了不起的人是那些會(huì)說多種語言的人，而不僅僅是方言。
為什么總是要討好一方。為什么不能反過來呢？
I'll give you this - in both Canada and Australia I studied college. In both were numerous Chinese students who talked frequently in Mandarin during lectures, and during classes. When lecturers complained, they were accused en masse of being “racist”.
When Chinese students were caught using AI and cheating, it was “racist”.
我告訴你——我在加拿大和澳大利亞都上過大學(xué)。在這兩個(gè)國(guó)家都有許多中國(guó)學(xué)生在課堂上和上課時(shí)經(jīng)常講普通話。當(dāng)講師抱怨時(shí)，他們被集體指控為“種族主義者”。
當(dāng)中國(guó)學(xué)生被抓到使用人工智能作弊時(shí)，這也是“種族主義”。

I don’t think that it’s many. Maybe a few and it’s not just in China, it’s the same in Spain, France, Germany etc etc. One problem for native English speakers (like myself) is that so many people around the world speak English as soon as they hear someone trying to speak their language they immediately switch to English, and usually speak it to a far higher standard than the English speaker speaks French, Spanish, German Mandarin etc.
Knowing and using a bit of the local language does help though. While travelling through Europe I was made to feel welcome in some very local bars because I at least attempted to speak their language.
我不認(rèn)為有很多。也許有幾個(gè)，不僅在中國(guó)，在西班牙、法國(guó)、德國(guó)等國(guó)家也是如此。對(duì)于母語為英語的說話者（像我自己）來說，一個(gè)問題是，世界上有這么多人會(huì)說英語，一旦他們聽到有人試圖說他們的語言，他們立即切換到英語，并且通常會(huì)說英語的人比說法語、西班牙語、德語、普通話等要多得多。
不過，了解和使用一點(diǎn)當(dāng)?shù)卣Z言確實(shí)有幫助。在歐洲旅行時(shí)，我在一些非常當(dāng)?shù)氐木瓢衫锔械绞軞g迎，因?yàn)槲抑辽賴L試說他們的語言。
Right! Before going to China, two important phrases to learn are: 洗手間在哪？ and 不太辣。
對(duì)！去中國(guó)之前，學(xué)會(huì)兩個(gè)重要的短語：洗手間在哪？和不太辣。

Jack Ma learnt his English through foreign tourist!

English though widely spoken is the language of the Anglosacon who were genocidal barbarians colonialist who burn, raped and plunder many countries and regions around the world. Why should the world speak English when there are much more Chinese speakers in the entire world planet and when you are entering the domain of 1.4b Chinese you are and should be happy that they don’t insist that you speak Chinese or get the hell out of China!!!
英語雖然被廣泛使用，但它是盎格魯-撒克遜人的語言，他們是進(jìn)行種族滅絕的野蠻殖民者，曾燒毀、強(qiáng)奸和掠奪世界上許多國(guó)家和地區(qū)。為什么全世界應(yīng)該講英語，而全世界有更多的人講中文，當(dāng)你進(jìn)入14億中國(guó)人的領(lǐng)域時(shí)，你應(yīng)該感到高興，他們不強(qiáng)迫你說中文或者讓你滾出中國(guó)?。。?/b>
They got upset because they were expecting China to flatter them.
They showed up as someone from higher societies.
They visited China like a colonizer inpsecting colony.
They expect Chinese people saying “what can I do for you, Sir/Madam?”.
他們之所以生氣，是因?yàn)樗麄兤诖袊?guó)會(huì)奉承他們。
他們以上流社會(huì)人士的身份出現(xiàn)。
他們像殖民者視察殖民地一樣訪問中國(guó)。
他們期待中國(guó)人說“先生/女士，我能為您做些什么？”。
I recall myself being a tour guide in Switerzland, and the bus driver was an Italian.
He didn’t speak much English, and I couldn’t understand Italian at all. Still, we managed talking to each other when the tourists when off for a tour sight.
He told me that his wife would make him pasta, and he could eat a lot. He used hands to make a shape of mountain, and said “Mount Blanc”, and I immedietly understood what he said. He was referring to the pasta plate which the pasta got piled like a mountain, that’s how much he liked his wife’s cooking.
He also told me to have a pizza magarita+napoli. Till today I am not sure what that is, but he told me that’s the best pizza.
Language could be the barrier, but it won’t stop kind people from communicating with each other.
If some people are upset because “most people in China don't speak English”, they’d better go somewhere else where they wouldn’t be upset even when the locals don’t speak English.
Because they obviously have problems with China, but anything specific.
我記得我在瑞士當(dāng)導(dǎo)游，巴士司機(jī)是意大利人。
他不會(huì)說太多英語，我完全聽不懂意大利語。盡管如此，當(dāng)游客們外出觀光時(shí)，我們還是設(shè)法互相交談。
他告訴我，他的妻子會(huì)給他做意大利面，他可以吃很多。他用手比出山的形狀，說“勃朗峰”，我立刻明白了他的話。他指的是意大利面盤，意大利面堆得像一座山，可見他有多喜歡妻子做的菜。
他還告訴我要吃瑪格麗塔+那不勒斯披薩。直到今天我都不知道那是什么，但他告訴我那是最好的披薩。
語言可能是障礙，但它不會(huì)阻止善良的人們相互交流。
如果有人因?yàn)椤爸袊?guó)大多數(shù)人不會(huì)說英語”而感到不安，他們最好去其他地方，即使當(dāng)?shù)厝瞬粫?huì)說英語，他們也不會(huì)感到不安。
因?yàn)樗麄冿@然對(duì)中國(guó)有意見，但任何具體的問題都是如此。
When immigrants come to the US and can't speak English, they get yelled at “Learn English. in America we speak English.”
Yet when they to go to a country like China they ask “Why doesn't anyone speak English.”
They should think “Learn Chinese. In China we speak Chinese.”
Leave your linguistic imperialism at the border.
當(dāng)移民來到美國(guó)卻不會(huì)說英語時(shí)，他們會(huì)被大喊“學(xué)英語吧，在美國(guó)我們說英語?！?br /> 然而，當(dāng)他們?nèi)ブ袊?guó)這樣的國(guó)家時(shí)，他們會(huì)問“為什么沒有人說英語?！?br /> 他們應(yīng)該想“學(xué)中文吧，在中國(guó)我們說中文?！?br /> 把你的語言帝國(guó)主義留在邊界上。
