介绍:
Why did people assume an Asian woman the nanny?
By now, most of the Internet seems to have seen the video of a BBC interview being interrupted by two small children.
International Relations professor Robert Kelly's interview about South Korea was briefly interrupted when his two small children walked in.
He managed to keep his composure, and his wife ushered the two young intruders out.
composure /kəm'pəʊʒə/ n.镇静，沉着 -托福
usher /'ʌʃə/ v.引领，陪同 -GRE
intruder /ɪnˈtru:də/ n. 入侵者 -托福
The video has been viewed hundreds of million times - and delighted hundreds of thousands of people on social media.
But it didn't go unnoticed that many people - including some media outlets, had assumed that Prof Kelly's wife, Jung-a Kim, was the nanny.
It's sparked a wider discussion about assumptions about race, gender, and mixed-race couples.
unnoticed /ʌn'nəʊtɪst/ a.未被察觉的，未被注意的
assume /ə’sjuːm/ v. 假定，认为
