温柔的谎言

A | 多元文化交融，是新加坡的一张独特“名片”。在这片土地上，华人占了总人口的74.1％，而每当不同种族的人们聚在一起，他们的语言就像调色盘上的色彩，相互渗透，于是 “新加坡式华语”便在这样的环境中孕育而成。

B | 你有没有想过，这种融合了多种文化元素的华语，是如何演变而来的？你是否也在日常生活中，听到过一些既亲切又新奇的词汇或短语？今天，我们就来聊聊“新加坡式华语”的那些事儿。

C | (牛车水，新加坡唐人街，图源新加坡旅游局官网)英语、马来语、华族方言大融合？新加坡华语的“进化史”新加坡有四种官方语言，分别是华语、英语、马来语和泰米尔语。 The ouster of Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa has roused substantial global media attention, particularly in light of the colorful images coming out of the country of protesters storming his opulent Colombo residence and turning it into a tourist attraction, posing for selfies, and organizing pool parties and cookouts.,But the chaos in Colombo isn’t the first time in the last decade or so that a head of state has been ousted from office in a time of crisis and forced to flee, with the last dozen years witnessing at least five comparable cases.,Ashraf Ghani’s Bags of Money,Last August, a ten-day blitzkrieg offensive by the Taliban* to capture cities in the midst of the NATO withdrawal culminated in the fall of Kabul and the collapse of the Afghan government. President Ashraf Ghani, the US-educated academic-turned president, fled the country he ruled at the West’s behest for seven years.,Ghani evacuated Kabul on August 15, the same day that Taliban fighters entered the city, and eventually ended up in the United Arab Emirates, where he took refuge. Ghani apologized to his countrymen and women for bolting, saying that leaving the capital “was the most difficult decision” of his life and that he took it to avoid a repeat of the bloody street fighting witnessed in the city between government and Taliban forces in the 1990s. In addition, he said, his security team had advised him not to stay due to the risk of assassination or capture.,The Russian Embassy in Kabul painted a different story, alleging that Ghani fled the city in a convoy of vehicles stuffed with so much cash that it could not fit in a helicopter which took him out of the country. UK media later alleged that Ghani may have sought to smuggle as much as $169 million in cash out of Kabul, with a former bodyguard later confirming that the ex-president’s entourage was carrying “many big bags” containing “hundreds of millions, perhaps billions of dollars.”,Ghani has categorically rejected the allegations against him, and has said that he would welcome an international investigation to clear his good name.,AfghanistanEx-Afghan President Ghani Says He Was Made 'Scapegoat' for Fleeing, Blames Trump - Report 31 December 2021, 03:27 GMT,Evo Morales’ Happy Ending,On November 10, 2019, Bolivia’s long-serving democratic socialist president Evo Morales was forced to step down after weeks of protests sparked by an election whose results were disputed by the country’s US-backed opposition. Characterizing the crisis as a “coup” and fearing he would be killed by assassins hired out by his enemies, Morales fled to Mexico, where he was granted asylum by President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.,The Trump administration hailed Morales’ ouster, with the US president tweeting that the unrest sent “a strong signal to the illegitimate regimes in Venezuela and Nicaragua that democracy and the will of the people will always prevail.”,But the anti-Morales’ plot’s victory was short-lived. Immediately after touching down in Mexico, Morales vowed that he’d remain in politics, and that his “fight” against “discrimination and humiliation” would continue.,In late 2019, after the election victory of leftist forces in Argentina, Morales traveled to that country, where he was granted asylum. In November 2020, after new elections in his home country saw the victory of Luis Arce, his former finance minister, Morales triumphantly returned to Bolivia. Today, although he is not president, Morales remains a major force in Bolivian politics, consistently attacking “Yankee imperialism” and recently calling on Bolivia and Argentina to join forces to become a global lithium-producing superpower.,The fate of his adversaries has not been so bright, with Jeanine Anez, the right wing politician who took over after Morales’ ouster, recently sentenced to ten years in prison for her role in the 2019 coup.,© Photo : Twitter / @evoespuebloFormer Bolivian President Evo Morales during his triumphant return to his home country in November 2020.Former Bolivian President Evo Morales during his triumphant return to his home country in November 2020.© Photo : Twitter / @evoespueblo,Yemen’s Hadi,In 2012, Yemeni politician Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi seemed to have the world at his feet. Succeeding President Ali Abdullah Saleh, whom he faithfully served as vice president starting in 1994, Hadi won the February 2012 presidential elections with an impressive 100 percent of the vote, running as the sole candidate. He proceeded to initiate a US- and Saudi-supported reform program aimed at transforming Yemen into a federal model of government under which six regions would enjoy large-scale political autonomy. Hadi also supported ramping up cooperation with Washington to fight piracy in the Gulf of Aden, and al-Qaeda** cells attempting to set up shop in Yemen’s sparsely populated northeastern territories.,Hadi’s reforms, allegations of corruption, and the ill-fated decision to end fuel subsidies in 2014 proved fatal, and between late 2014 and early 2015, much of the country was overrun by the Houthis, an Islamist, social justice-oriented political and militant movement dominant in the country’s populous western provinces. In January 2015, Hadi left his presidential palace in Sana’a for the last time, and, without resigning, flew to Saudi Arabia.,© AP Photo / Hani MohammedShiite Houthi tribesmen hold their weapons as they chant slogans during a tribal gathering showing support for the Houthi movement, in Sanaa, Yemen, Saturday Sept. 21, 2019Shiite Houthi tribesmen hold their weapons as they chant slogans during a tribal gathering showing support for the Houthi movement, in Sanaa, Yemen, Saturday Sept. 21, 2019© AP Photo / Hani Mohammed,Two months later, in March 2015, a Saudi-led military coalition began a military operation in Yemen aimed at restoring Hadi to power. Seven years on, the coalition has made little progress, and the impoverished southern Arabian nation remains mired in a deep political, military, economic and humanitarian crisis. Meanwhile, the Houthis have counterattacked by launching drone and missile strikes targeting Saudi infrastructure, military bases, airports, oil facilities, missile defense systems and cities, with no amount of sophisticated US-made air defense hardware seeming sufficient to stop the attacks.,As for Hadi, the exiled president resigned from the post in April, transferring power to an eight-member ‘presidential leadership council’ tasked with negotiating a permanent ceasefire with the Houthis.,Saudi Arabia ‘Pushed’ Yemen’s Hadi to Resign, Placed Him on House Arrest - WSJ17 April, 22:22 GMT,Ukraine’s Yanukovych,Of all the ejections from office featured in this list so far, perhaps none have been more consequential to the geopolitical instability being experienced by the world today than that of Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych.,Yanukovych handcrafted the crisis which would culminate in his ouster in the winter of 2013 by pulling a major political U-turn and rejecting an association agreement with the European Union in favor of closer ties with the Russian-led Eurasian Economic Union. The decision prompted pro-EU protesters to flood the center of Kiev, with demonstrators establishing tent encampments and occupying the heart of the city – the Maidan Nezalezhnosti (lit. ‘Independence Square’).,Protests continued for weeks, with Yanukovych making concessions under EU pressure, accepting the resignation of the government of Prime Minister Nikolai Azarov in late January, and negotiating with an increasingly emboldened opposition to try to resolve the crisis.,On February 20, protests turned bloody, with 49 demonstrators and four police officers killed by mysterious snipers in a single day. On February 22, just a day after reaching an EU-backed agreement on the settling the crisis through early elections, Yanukovych fled Kiev in fear for his life, traveling east and slipping across the border into Russia, where he was offered refuge. Pro-European forces in Ukraine’s parliament drafted a resolution to strip Yanukovych of power, claiming he had “withdrawn from his duties in an unconstitutional manner.” From Russia, Yanukovych blasted the new authorities, and characterized his ouster as a coup d’état.,Kiev, Washington Responsible for Failure of Minsk Peace Agreements, Ukraine's Former President Says14 March, 15:17 GMT,Tunisia’s Ben Ali,On January 14, 2011, President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali’s 24-year reign as Tunisian leader came to an end, with the president and his family fleeing the country to Saudi Arabia after weeks of protests which would hail the start of the so-called ‘Arab Spring’. The ‘Tunisian Revolution’ was driven by long-standing grievances among Tunisians about corruption, high unemployment, inflation, and general poor living conditions, as well as limitations on freedom of speech. The protests were sparked by 26-year-old street vendor Mohamed Bouazizi, who set himself on fire in the street after police confiscated his wares when he failed to pay a bribe, and after his plea for help from the local governor was left unanswered. The young man's act, which would cause over 100 copycat immolation attempts, would spark a month of protests which culminated in Ben Ali’s ouster.,After his ejection, the Tunisian president would live to a ripe old age of 83, passing away in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia in September 2019. But the unrest which his removal sparked would end up transforming much of the Middle East and engulfing some of its countries in crisis which continue to reverberate to this day. In 2011, major protests rocked Algeria and Yemen, and led to the overthrow of the government of Hosni Mubarak in Egypt. In Libya, NATO lent a ‘helping hand’ to anti-government rebels by launching a campaign of airstrikes against forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi, culminating in his ouster and televised murder, and turning Libya into a failed state. The contagion of the Arab Spring also spread to Syria, which was turned into a breeding ground for jihadist militants who flocked to the country from the region and across the globe to take part in the unsuccessful US, Turkish, Saudi and Qatari-backed campaign to try to oust the government of Bashar Assad.,Ousted Tunisian President Ben Ali Buried in Saudi Arabia - Reports21 September 2019, 17:53 GMT,* An organization subject to United Nations sanctions for terrorist activities.,** A terrorist group outlawed in Russia and many other countries.。

D | 不同于中国的标准汉语，“新加坡式华语”它融合了英语、马来语以及丰富的华族方言元素，是一种有着独特魅力的汉语变体。历史的车轮滚滚向前，回溯至1819年新加坡开埠之初，这个自由港以其优越的地理位置，迅速崛起为东南亚的经济贸易中心。

E | 无数华人移民怀揣梦想，跨越重洋，在这片热土上安家落户。他们带来的不仅是勤劳与智慧，还有丰富多彩的方言文化——闽南话、粤语等，这些方言在早年的私塾中回响，成为学子们交流的桥梁。随着时间的推移，华人的方言、华语、马来语、殖民者的英语在这片土地上交织在一起，彼此影响，相互渗透，孕育出了一系列新颖独特的词汇。

F | 它不拘一格，吸收并融合了英语、闽粤方言乃至马来语的词汇和表达方式，形成了既“接地气”又富有创意的语言风格。

G | 在日常生活中，新加坡人习惯性地使用这种汉英混合、夹杂方言和马来语的口语化华语，它不仅便于交流，更体现了新加坡人开放包容、勇于创新的精神风貌。这几句生活中的新加坡式华语你一定要知道！在新加坡的日常生活中，地道的新加坡式华语表达无处不在，它们或幽默诙谐，或生动形象，为生活增添了许多乐趣。

H | 01 新加坡的菜市场—“巴刹”“巴刹”是马来语中的pasar的音译，意思是市场、市集。

I | 在新加坡“巴刹”里，色彩斑斓的蔬果，香气四溢的小吃摊位，共同编织出一幅幅生动的市井生活画卷。02 “吃还是包”在繁忙的食阁里，当你点完一份香气扑鼻的鸡饭，可能会被问及：“吃还是包？”简单一问，实则是在询问你是打算“就地享用”，还是“打包带走”。如果选择“包”，别忘了准备一点额外的零钱(0.3—0.5新币)作为打包费哦。

J | 03 “水草”是植物吗？夏日炎炎，当我们买完冰凉的饮料，一般都会配上一根“水草”。这里的水草可不是植物，指的是“吸管”。这是因为吸管的英文是straw，而straw又有水草的意思，因此吸管在新加坡，便有了“水草”的别称。04 “烧水”，是一个名词？烧水，在新加坡可不是动词，而是指“热水”。“烧”来自于福建话的“sio”，意思为“热”。

K | 如果在食阁买饭时，听到有人大喊：“后面烧！”这证明一杯热气腾腾的咖啡或茶水正在向你靠近，要记得小心避让。05 亲切的“安哥安娣”走在街头巷尾，你常常会听到“安哥”、“安娣”的亲切呼唤。

L | 这组词汇由英文中的auntie、uncle音译而来，是新加坡人对年长者的称呼。06 职场小词典：做工、放工、花红在新加坡，“做工”即工作，“放工”则是下班的代名词。

M | 有时，你可能会听到有人抱怨“做工到很晚”，短短几个字便透露出工作的辛劳和不易。但努力总是有回报的，“花红”则指的是津贴或奖金，它是公司对员工辛勤付出的奖励，是职场中的小确幸。

N | 07 骗话？其实是谎话“骗话”二字，听起来有些俏皮，实则指的是谎话。当你听到朋友说：“他讲的都是骗话，不要信！”这句话的意思是提醒你不要相信那个人说的谎言。08 “青菜”不是蔬菜在新加坡，如果听到别人说“青菜”，可别误会人家在谈论餐桌上的清新时蔬。这是源自福建话的一句地道俚语，意思为“我都可以”。简短的“青菜”，透露出一种随和、不挑剔的生活态度。
