第二卷

1、DearEditorsofMacquarieDictionary,

MynameisWendy,asecondgenerationChinese-Australianmigrant（移民）andamotheroftwoyoungchildren.I'mwritingtoexpressmydisappointmentinoneofMacquarieDictionary's

entries,namelythedefinitionoftheword"monolid".

Inboththepaperversion（7thedition）andonlineversionoftheDictionary,Macquariedefines"monolid"as:

"Anuppereyelidwithoutafold,perceivedbysomeinAsiatogiveanappearanceoflaziness."ThisdefinitionhasdisturbedmeandmanyAsianslivinginAustralia.Linguistically（从

snodi

语言学角度讲）,theterm"monolid"isaprettyunbiaseddescriptionofaphysicalcharacteristicthatinvolvesnofeelings,commontoover50%ofpeopleofEastAsianorigin.Itfferentto

othertermsdescribingaphysicalfeatureincluding"blonde"or"freckle".

Takeaminuteandconsiderthis.Woulditbeappropriateifthedefinitionof"blonde"became"havingfairorlight-colouredhair,thoughtbysomeinWesterncountriesaspossessinglittleornointelligence"?

Orwoulditbeappropriateifthedefinitionof"freckle"was"asmallbrownishspotintheskinorface,thoughtbysomeascreatinganuglyappearance"?

Inaddition,itisalsoinappropriatethatMacquarieDictionary一adictionaryofchoicebymanyAustralianschools—definesaterminawaywhichmaycreatenegativeracialconnectionforAustralianchildrenofEastAsianorigin.Bothmykidsarehornwithmonolids,aconstantreminderoftheirculturalbackground.Itthereforebreaksmyhearttoimagineascenewheretheyturntothedictionarytofindthattheirphysicalfeatureisassociatedwith"laziness".Whatiftheygetteasedbytheirschoolfriendsthattheyareborn"lazy"?

Forthereasonsabove,IurgeMacquarieDictionarytoadjustthecurrentdefinitionof"monolid".Lookingforwardtohearingfromyou.

Wendy
