• 境外媒体称，大陆经济实力与国际地位提升让全球兴起一股“中文热”。美国菁英家庭热衷雇用会中文的保姆，比起一般保姆年薪多出2万美金。

    据台湾中时电子报4月13日报道，美国全中文式学校就有230家，学生族裔包括墨西哥、俄罗斯、韩国、日本、越南等；华盛顿一所全中文教学的公立学校甚至引起美国家长搭帐篷排队抢名额。

    英国广播公司报道称，自2006年起，美国对中文保姆的需求便开始迅速增加。纽约Lifestyle Resources职业介绍所员工罗许表示，过去几年接到许多电话，雇主们希望能找到会说中文的保姆和女管家，“这样他们的孩子就可以学中文”。

    会说中文的保姆抢手，罗许说和其他保姆相比，他们平均可以多赚2万美元的年薪，曾有中国籍保姆，因为有两家雇主争相聘请她，最后她签下7万美元的年薪。

    Foreign media reports that the rise of China's economic strength and international status has sparked a global "Chinese language craze." Elite American families are keen to hire nannies who speak Chinese, paying them $20,000 more annually than regular nannies.

    According to a report by Taiwan's China Times Electronic News on April 13, there are 230 schools in the United States offering entirely Chinese-language education, with students from various ethnic backgrounds including Mexican, Russian, Korean, Japanese, and Vietnamese. A public school in Washington, D.C., with an all-Chinese curriculum, even saw parents setting up tents to queue for spots.

    The BBC reports that the demand for Chinese-speaking nannies in the United States has been rapidly increasing since 2006. Rosh, an employee at Lifestyle Resources in New York, said that she has received many calls in the past few years from employers looking for nannies and housekeepers who speak Chinese "so their children can learn Chinese."

    Chinese-speaking nannies are in high demand. Rosh said that compared to other nannies, they can earn an average of $20,000 more annually. One Chinese nanny, for example, was offered a $70,000 annual salary because two employers were vying for her services.

    一名请了中文保姆的美国家长表示，儿子喜欢学中文，所以找会说中文的保姆让小孩在学校以外的时间能够学习，她也直言“让儿子学中文能带来长期的经济益处”。

    报道称，除了中文保姆需求增加，美国全中文学校如雨后春笋般成立，目前全美已有230家；而且，有越来越多的美国非华裔家庭，选择送孩子到中文学校学习中文，加州不少公立学校也将中文纳入低年级必修课程。

    华盛顿一所录取率仅3%的公立小学，采用双语教学，3到4岁班级采用全中文教学，5年级开始则采用一天中文、一天英文；为了挤进这所小学，许多美国家长不惜在报名日前一晚搭帐篷彻夜排队。

    毕业于北京师范大学的杨艳丽和丈夫移民到美国后，在公立学校教书，也当过多年家教，她曾在马里兰州教过美国前总统里根幕僚的小孩，这家人为了让小孩学习中文，除了雇用中文保姆、教师外，还请了一位大陆留学生到家中住宿，为孩子营造中文学习环境。

    An American parent who hired a Chinese-speaking nanny said her son enjoys learning Chinese, so she hired a nanny who speaks Chinese so her child can learn outside of school. She also stated that "letting my son learn Chinese will bring long-term economic benefits."

    The report states that in addition to the increased demand for Chinese-speaking nannies, all-Chinese schools are springing up across the United States, with 230 currently nationwide. Furthermore, an increasing number of non-Chinese American families are choosing to send their children to Chinese schools, and many public schools in California have included Chinese as a compulsory subject in lower grades.

    A public elementary school in Washington, D.C., with an acceptance rate of only 3%, uses bilingual education. Classes for 3-4 year olds are taught entirely in Chinese, while classes starting in 5th grade alternate between Chinese and English each day. To gain admission to this school, many American parents are willing to camp out overnight and queue before registration.

    Yang Yanli, a graduate of Beijing Normal University, immigrated to the United States with her husband. She taught in public schools and also worked as a tutor for many years. She once taught the children of former US President Reagan's staff in Maryland. In order to help the children learn Chinese, the family not only hired a Chinese-speaking nanny and teacher, but also invited a mainland Chinese student to stay at their home to create a Chinese learning environment for the children.

    杨艳丽表示，美国很多地方从七年级开始学外语，以前以西班牙语，法语为主，近年，许多学校加进中文，大学选修中文课的人数也增加不少。

    另据香港《东方日报》网站4月13日报道，美国总统特朗普的女儿伊万卡经常在社交网站分享其子女的生活，包括女儿阿拉贝拉唱中文歌曲拜年、儿子约瑟夫砌中文积木等，原来这与伊万卡雇用大陆保姆照顾子女有关，这也揭示了美国富人多聘请中文保姆的现象。

    有业者称，在北美，有一定文化素质同时会英语和普通话的保姆，年薪平均达八万美元。

    Yang Yanli stated that in many parts of the United States, foreign language learning begins in seventh grade. Previously, Spanish and French were the main languages, but in recent years, many schools have added Chinese, and the number of students taking Chinese courses at universities has also increased significantly.

    According to a report on the Hong Kong-based Oriental Daily website on April 13, Ivanka Trump, the daughter of US President Donald Trump, frequently shares glimpses of her children's lives on social media, including her daughter Arabella singing Chinese New Year songs and her son Joseph building with Chinese-language blocks. This is reportedly related to Ivanka hiring a nanny from mainland China to care for her children, revealing the phenomenon of wealthy Americans hiring Chinese-speaking nannies.

    Some industry insiders claim that in North America, nannies with a certain level of education who speak both English and Mandarin can earn an average annual salary of $80,000.

    据了解，伊万卡忙于工作，故生下女儿阿拉贝拉后，便雇用大陆保姆希希(音)照料女儿。除了日常看护外，希希还教阿拉贝拉说中文。从十八个月大时开始，阿拉贝拉开始到语言学校学习语文，后来儿子约瑟夫在不到一岁时也开始学习中文。

    据内地传媒报道，现时的美国小孩，特别是出生于菁英家庭的小孩，从小学习中文已成为当地一种流行趋势，甚至带动中文保姆的生意。不少家庭纷纷开出高薪聘请保姆。纽约一间家政服务中介机构称，会雇用中文保姆的客户，除了华裔家庭，就是与大陆做生意的美国家庭或富裕家庭，想让自己的孩子在未来更具竞争力。

    It is understood that Ivanka Trump, busy with work, hired a nanny from mainland China, Xi Xi (phonetic), to care for her daughter Arabella after she was born. Besides daily care, Xi Xi also taught Arabella to speak Chinese. Arabella began attending language school to learn Chinese when she was 18 months old, and later her son Joseph also began learning Chinese before he was one year old.

    According to mainland media reports, learning Chinese from a young age has become a popular trend among American children, especially those from elite families, even boosting the business of Chinese-speaking nannies. Many families are offering high salaries to hire nannies. A New York domestic service agency stated that clients hiring Chinese-speaking nannies include Chinese-American families, American families doing business with mainland China, and wealthy families who want their children to be more competitive in the future.
