16、 wanted to get rid of their tiger lilies, so they dug a deep, deep hole and threw the tiger lily plants in. For years, they felt they had succeeded in killing the lilies. But one spring, strong, green stocks rose to the surface. My mom named me Lily because she hoped for a beautiful daughter, who wo
17、uld also be strong and resilient, just like those orange blossomed lily plants.My middle name is Myunghi. My mom, who is of Korean heritage, wanted to honor our Asian roots. The middle name means clear-eyed girl in Korean. My parents chose it because they believe life is difficult, and they hoped be
18、ing clear-eyed would help me find my way in the world.However, in English, Myunghi loses its beautiful meaning. It becomes the hesitation on peoples faces as they stumble over its mere two syllables(音节). It becomes the surprised expressions of classmates who have never heard a name anything like it

I would say it must be my deep-seated sense of right and wrong.And yet, like many other people who speak more than one language, I often have the sense that Im a slightly different person in each of
25、 my languages-more confident in English, more relaxed in French.

26、ly when considering them in their native and foreign tongue.In a 2014 paper led by Albert Costa, volunteers were presented with a moral dilemma known as the trolley problem: imagine that a runaway trolley is dashing toward a group of five people standing on the tracks, unable to move.

31、ctivity. An alternative explanation is because our childhood languages change with greater emotional intensity than do those learned in more academic settings. As a result, moral judgments made in a foreign language are less burdened with the emotional reactions.What then, s a multilingual(多语言的) per
