When my parents gave me this name, they created an important part of my identity that will be part of me forever.My first name, Lily, was inspired by a story my mom heard a long time ago. Some people

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

19、before It becomes a blushing(脸红的)little girl, embarrassed by her own name, a name that her parents put so much thought into.When I was younger, I hid my middle name, pre tending it didnt exist. Looking back, I pity the girl who was too ashamed to reveal her full name to anyone.My grandparents were r

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. Is it possible that my moral compass also points in somewhat different directions depending on the language Im using?Several recent psychological studies suggest that when people are faced with moral dilemmas, they do respond different

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. You are next t

27、o a switch that can shift the trolley to a different set of tracks, thereby sparing the five people, but resulting in the death of one who is standing on the side tracks.

When we use a foreign language, we unconsciously sink into the more deliberate mode simply because the effort of operating in our non-native language cues our cognitive (认知) system to prepare for strenuous(费力的)a

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

32、son s true moral self? Is it my moral memories? Or is it the reasoning im able to apply when free of such unconscious restrictions? Or perhaps, as the research implies, regardless of how many languages we speak: that our moral compass is a combination of the earliest forces that have shaped us and the ways in which we escape them.22.
