A Concession From The French

The French value their language and culture highly, to the point of barely learning English even though they live right next to England. They’ve got a point, though. So a French comedian learning an entire set in Chinese is a major sign of respect.

骄傲的法国旁友们

从来不屑于学习别人的语言

但你见过一个法国喜剧人

无比认真地用中文去表演吗

Baima Ge, also known as Patrick Vesselier, has created a half-hour act entirely in Mandarin, which is all the more impressive for the fact that he can’t speak Mandarin. 

“白马哥”是这位法国喜剧人的艺名

他可以整场用中文表演下来

然而事实上 

他其实从未系统地学过任何中文

Baima Ge may be speaking in Chinese, but his show enshrines him as the Frenchest Frenchman in history. Creating an act in Mandarin called “I Want To Be Chinese” without actually learning the language might just be the most French thing ever done.

白马哥将他的“阿拉想做中国人”

脱口秀带来了上海

在黄浦江边 

他用3000张与路人的合影

表达了对这个城市的爱
