美国第一女儿伊万卡·特朗普日前在Instagram上晒了一张自己和小儿子西奥多（Theodore）在家玩耍的照片。

一天中最美好的时刻！
眼睛雪亮的媒体立刻抓住了图中重点，即堆在地上的汉字积木，纷纷报道伊万卡家的娃都在学汉语。
英国《每日邮报》：
你好，西奥多：伊万卡的小儿子正在用积木学汉字，就像他的姐姐阿拉贝拉一样
《纽约时报》：
On Tuesday, two days before her father was to meet Mr. Xi, Ms. Trump posted a photo of her younger son, Theodore, playing with wooden blocks emblazoned with Chinese characters.
周二，也即她父亲和习主席会晤的前两天，伊万卡发布了一张儿子西奥多玩汉字积木的照片。
Inside Edition
：
..., an indication that he’s already studying the language.
说明他已经开始学汉语了。
八卦的《每日邮报》立刻扒出了这套积木的牌子和价格：
Theodore was playing with the Uncle Goose
Chinese Character Blocks, which aims to teach children the symbols and
pronunciation of animals names in Mandarin.
西奥多玩的是鹅叔叔汉字积木，这套积木可以教小朋友学会各种动物的汉字写法和发音。
The $43 set featured 32 wooden blocks with the symbols and words on one side and the animal it represents on the other.
一套43美元（约合297元人民币），包含32块积木，积木的一面印着汉字，另一面印着对应的动物。
It
appears to be a pretty effective teaching tool as well given the
proficiency with which Ivanka's 5-year-old daughter Arabella speaks the
language.
这似乎是非常有效的教学工具，看看伊万卡5岁的闺女阿拉贝拉的中文精通程度就知道啦。
伊万卡家可是有学中文的传统的，
据说大儿子约瑟夫也在和姐姐阿拉贝拉一起学中文。
上周习近平主席访美的时候，姐弟俩还为习近平夫妇演唱了中文歌曲，背诵了唐诗和《三字经》。
Arabella serenaded President Xi and First Lady Peng with a traditional Chinese folk song titled
Mo Li Hua
(or "
Jasmine Flower
" in English). Joseph then joined Arabella in reciting a bit of Chinese poetry, including
San Zi Jing
(which translates to the "
Three Character Classic
").
阿拉贝拉为习主席夫妇演唱了一首传统中国民歌《茉莉花》。约瑟夫和姐姐一起背诵了
《三字经》，还有
中国古诗。

你能听出来他俩背了哪首诗吗？
伊万卡把这段视频通过分享到社交媒体上，表示为孩子们的表现感到骄傲。
网友调侃说：再有背景的娃也会被家长拉出来表演节目……
香港《南华早报》则称这是特朗普的“外孙女外交”（granddaughter diplomacy）：
特朗普的“外孙女外交”？5岁的阿拉贝拉为习近平和夫人唱中文歌、背中文诗
《每日邮报》开玩笑直接管阿拉贝拉叫“外交官”：
The five-year-old played the diplomat yet again on Thursday
when she
appeared in the formal dining room at Mar-a-Lago where Trump, Xi, Peng,
and First Lady Melania Trump were seated.
这个5岁的小姑娘周四又当起外交官，她出现在了特朗普、习近平、彭丽媛和梅拉尼娅列席的海湖庄园正式宴会厅里。
说起阿拉贝拉，她在中国俨然已经是个小网红，她背唐诗、唱“新年好”的视频都是刷屏级的……
今年春节演唱《新年好》，给大家拜年
↓↓↓
中文儿歌《小白兔》说得也很溜
↓↓↓
除了唱中文歌，阿拉贝拉还会背唐诗、懂拼音、会写汉字……
阿拉贝拉的中文教师景涌泰称，她的中文很流利，比班上其他同龄孩子好很多，即使很快的语速也能听懂。
据《每日邮报》报道，阿拉贝拉从18个月大的时候，就开始学中文了，伊万卡希望孩子的语言能力从小得到开发。
Arabella has been learning Mandarin since she was 18 months old. While pregnant with Arabella in 2011, Ivanka said she had assigned herself piles of books on motherhood and early-child development, vowing to expose her daughter to other languages at a young age.
阿拉贝拉18月大的时候就开始学中文了。2011年怀上阿拉贝拉的时候，伊万卡读了大量关于育儿和儿童早期开发的书，发誓让女儿从小就开始接触其他语言。
2012年，伊万卡在接受《
南华早报
》的采访时还透露，家里有位很棒的华人阿姨教女儿中文，自己也在努力学习。
My daughter is studying Mandarin; I have an incredible Chinese nanny who's teaching her. I don't know much, but I can pretty much name every animal in the zoo, so if I go on a safari, I'll be able to use my Mandarin. It's not so practical, but I'm learning.
我女儿正在学中文。我们家有位很了不起的华人阿姨在教她。我知道的不太多，但是我几乎能叫上动物园里各种动物的名字。所以，如果我去参加狩猎旅行，就可以用上我的中文啦。虽然有点不太实用，不过我正在学习中。
姐姐中文说得好，两个弟弟也不甘示弱，从小开始学中文。
看来不远的将来有希望看到姐弟三人同台秀中文了……
那伊万卡一家子为什么这么喜欢学中文呢？
除了伊万卡在采访中说到的想要从小开发孩子们的语言天赋外，不少人猜测还可能是受到了闺蜜邓文迪的影响。
邓文迪既是伊万卡的闺蜜，也是伊万卡和丈夫贾瑞德·库什纳的媒人。
二人一起看球赛、逛秀场，一起度假，关系十分亲密。
不过，不管是受到谁的影响，中文和中国文化都已经成为伊万卡一家生活中的一部分。
西奥多一岁生日的时候，伊万卡就晒了一张母子俩吃“长寿面”的照片，妥妥的中国传统。
Birthday Tradition! #noodlesforlonglife
生日传统 #吃长寿面
外媒评价道：
Ivanka seems intent on immersing all three children in Chinese culture. Another photograph on Instagram showed Theodore eating a bowl of noodles for his birthday - a tradition that signifies having a long life.
伊万卡似乎很热衷于让三个孩子在中国文化中成长。Instagram上另一张照片显示西奥多在生日吃了一碗面，这是中国传统，代表长寿。
伊万卡亲近中国的种种举动为其赢得不少好感，外媒纷纷报道称，这位第一女儿将对中美关系产生积极影响。
《国际商业时报
》
（
International Business Times
）就分析了伊万卡对中国的喜爱与尊重将起到的作用。

Ivanka Trump has been publicly affectionate towards the Chinese and has also shown regard toward their culture. Once appointed to the White House, she might soon become a major influence on bilateral ties between the two countries.
伊万卡曾公开表示对中国的喜爱，而且一直尊重中国文化。一旦任职白宫，她可能很快成为影响中美双边关系的主要力量。
《南华早报》（

文章还引用了一些中国分析人士的话。

伊万卡在中国拥有非常正面的形象。在中国外交关系存在不确定性的时期，她照顾了中国人民的情感需求。
复旦大学国际关系教授任晓也表示，伊万卡和丈夫库什纳入驻白宫对中美关系有利：
Donald Trump obviously trusts his daughter and his son-in-law a lot. The couple is likely to recommend a more respectful and careful approach when dealing with China.
特朗普显然很信任他的女儿和女婿。在处理中国问题时，这对夫妇可能推荐采取更恭敬、更小心的方式。
《纽约时报》（
The New York Times
