我个人觉得,很多国移过分注重口音问题了。甚至以为有口音会在商业场合受人瞧不起。这种观点是非常表面的。我在以上的帖子里一再强调了,商业场合communication的关键是do you have good points。即使是local, with perfect English, 但如果他的发言lengthy but no any convincing points, it will be considered garbage。Unless you wanna be receptionist, you should never put "no-accent" as your N0. 1 priority.
Let's face it, English is not our mother tongue. Doesn't matter how hard you try, you still have accent. Spending too much efforts working on accent, you are heading the wrong direction. 我见过的做presentation最牛的中国人是platform computing的创始人周松年,加州伯克利的PHD,多大的终身教授。他恐怕是加拿大高科技界最成功的大陆移民了。当时在座的绝大部分都是local。To be honest, he has slight accent,但他做的presentation条理清楚,with excellent points。而且他相当幽默。整个presentation过程中掌声不断。那是我见过的最impressive的presentation。
