参考译文：
An increasing number of English-educated Chinese parents overseas have come to the realization that while English
learning is indispensable to their children, it is essential that their kids have a good command of Chinese.
China’s rise has fully awakened their awareness of the fact that their kids can benefit from their bilingual
ability which can not only enhance their competitiveness in the job market, but also facilitate their exposure to
and familiarity with the two different cultures between the East and the West. They have hardly changed their
attitudes towards Chinese. At one time they proudly declared that they knew English only. Now, they have begun to
give full support to their kids learning Chinese and its culture, and they also make occasional visits to China,
where they can enjoy its magnificent natural landscape and get to know its rich cultural heritage.
