据该网友介绍，她去柬埔寨暹粒游完时，在塔普伦寺(Ta Prohm)遇到了这个“语言天才”小男孩。

The video was first posted on Facebook by user @Venus Gwc. In the video, a 10-year-old boy in his barefoot was seen talking to the female tourist in Chinese and trying to ask her to buy some souvenirs.

视频中，为了向这位女网友卖出纪念品，小男孩大秀语言天赋，表示自己能说10多种语言和方言：普通话、广东话、日语、韩语、西班牙语、法语、泰语、马来语、菲律宾语……光说不练假把式，小男孩儿在视频中还展示了一把不同语言随意切换~

The boy told the woman confidently that he could speak over 10 languages and dialects, including Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, Thai, Malay and Filipino, and showed off his linguistic talent by switching back and forth different languages.

看到对方似乎没有购买的意思，男孩还放出大招：唱起了抖音神曲《我们不一样》，甚至即兴改编了歌词：“我们在这里，卖东西给你”！ ……最终打动了这位女网友，成功卖出商品。

Surprisingly, he even sung a popular Chinese song called “We are different” and successfully moved the tourist to buy his souvenirs.

当被问到是如何学会这么多语言时，小男孩表示是跟各国游客学来的。

When asked about how he picked up so many languages, he said he learned it from other tourists.

Many netizens are impressed by the boy's talent, but some are saying that the boy has to develop this skill in order to survive.

也有网友自愧不如：

视频走红后，很多媒体也争相报道了这位“小天才”。在一段采访视频里，男孩说自己今年14岁，在当地一间学校就读9年级。他还有个11岁的弟弟，也掌握多种语言。

为了讨生活，兄弟俩早上读书，下午就到吴哥窟兜售纪念品。面对镜头，“天才”小男孩还表示，长大后想去北京读书。

看完视频后，许多网友替他们的生存状况感到揪心。

有人感叹：小小年纪就出来谋生，真是让人既敬佩，又心酸。

不少人为此唏嘘不已，当你在他那个年纪的时候，你在干什么？看来，生存才是最好的老师。

“Interest is not the ultimate factor that drives someone to pick up a language; it is driven by the pressure to survive,” commented a user @youshuaigekan on Weibo.

得知视频走红后，身为拍摄者的女网友Venus Gwc表示很欣慰：“或许视频能让更多人认识到，还有很多孩子每天仍在为生活挣扎。”

“I feel grateful that his video gone viral, it might creates more awareness to people there are kids still struggle to live their life everyday. ”

原本想“献爱心”，其实反而是在害他们？

当视频在国内外刷屏后，很多网友表示，如果去柬埔寨，一定要去买小男孩的纪念品，好让他能多赚一点钱，生活少一点辛苦……

不过，事情却忽然有了转折。

原来，有网友提出：视频可能反而会给柬埔寨的贫困孩子们带来负面影响。尤其是可能会剥夺他们享受基本教育的机会。
