近期的美国《大西洋月刊》刊登了一篇有关中国的短文,题为《租个白人》。作者详细描述了他“被当上”美国公司质检专家的经历。他和另外5人以人均1000美金的报酬做一周“工作”。这项“工作”只要“穿西装的美国白人”。这篇文章文辞幽默风趣,读来让人忍俊不禁,但读后五味杂陈。这种为提升中国公司的声誉和影响而租个白人的“工作”在靠与外资合作来撑门面的行业里屡见不鲜。这种现象也引起了各种不同的反响。 A recent essay on China, entitled “Renting a White Person,” appeared in a recent issue of the Atlantic Monthly in the United States. The author describes in detail his “being on ” American company’s quality control expert’s experience. He and the other five people make a week’s “work” with a reward of $ 1,000 per capita. This “work ” as long as “wearing a white suit ”. This essay is comic and humorous, so people can not help but laugh. This “job” of renting white people to enhance the reputation and influence of Chinese companies is not uncommon in industries that collaborate with foreign investors to shore up the facade. This phenomenon also caused a variety of different reactions.
