盡管日常生活中還有其他的語言,然而在加納、印度、尼日利亞、和新加坡,英語仍被用作官方、教育和貿(mào)易用語。 In China and many other countries ,it's the most important foreigh language that children will learn at school, 在中國和許多其他一些國家,英語是孩子們在學校要學的一門重要的外語, because it's essential for tourism, international business , entertainment, radio, television, newspapers, and the Internet. 因為對于旅游、國際貿(mào)易、娛樂、廣播、電視、報紙和網(wǎng)絡,英語是必不可少的。 So English is now used by about 1.5 billion people-or a quarter of the world's population, 所以,目前使用英語的人大約十五億、占世界總人口的四分之一。, and wherever you go in the world, there is a good chance that someone will speak English. 不管你去世界的哪個地方,都會有機會見到有人說英語。 How did this happen? 這樣的情況是怎么發(fā)生的呢? English has not always been the most common language. 英語并不總是通用的語言。 Until English became important in the 20th century, people who had any education sopke French. 受過教育的人都在說法語,直到20世紀英語才變得重要了。 What's more, English spelling doesn't give much help with pronunciation, and its grammar is difficult, especially the word order. 還有,英語的拼寫對于它的發(fā)音沒有多少幫助,并且語法也很難,尤其是詞序。 The reason is that in the 18th century, the UK was a country whose industrial products were sold all over the world. 原因是在18世紀,英國的工業(yè)產(chǎn)品銷往世界各地。 In the 20th century , the USA spread English all over the world through newspapers, television, films and advertising. 在20世紀,美國通過報紙、電視、電影和廣告將英語傳播到世界各地。 It's now the common language for international travel, science, industry and in recent years, information technology and the Internet. 現(xiàn)在它已經(jīng)成為國際旅游、科技、工業(yè)的通用語言,在近幾年,它也成為信息技術和網(wǎng)絡的通用語言。 But it's also improtant to remember that English has borrowed many words from other languages, either exactly the same word or very similar. 但是記住英語從其他語言中借用了很多單詞也是很重要的,或者原詞借用或者非常類似。 It uses restaurant from French,zero from Arabic, piano from Italian, and typhoon, china and many others words from Chinses. restaurant 來自法語、zero來自阿拉伯語、piano來自意大利以及來自漢語的typoon,china 等許多其他單詞。 Will the importance of English last? 英語的重要性會延續(xù)嗎? Many people think that, if China comtimues to grow in importance, Chinese will become as common as English by the middle of the 21st century. 許多人認為中國如果繼續(xù)發(fā)展壯大,到21世紀中葉、漢語會變得和英語一樣普遍。 More and more schools in Europe are teaching Chinese as a foreign language, in place of other
European languages. 在歐洲越來越多的學校正在教漢語作為一門外語,而不是其他的歐洲語言。 And tourism puts China into the top 10 countries for visitors. 并且旅游業(yè)將中國列入前10名國家的旅游地。 But at least for the next 20 or 30 years, English will be the language used most widely. 但是至少在未來的20年或30年中,英語仍然是使用廣泛的語言。 So who owns English? The answer is everone who speaks it - the English the Indians and the Chinese all help make it a rich language. 那么,誰擁有英語呢?答案是每個講英語的人--英國人、印度人和中國人都幫助它成為一種富有的語言。 It changes every year with new words and expressions. 英語每年都在變,都有新的單詞和短語出現(xiàn)。 Even though there are differences in grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and spelling, 即使在語法、詞匯、發(fā)音和拼寫上有所不同, we all belong to the international English speaking world. We all own English. 我們都屬于國際英語這個世界,英語是我們大家的,也就是我們?nèi)繐碛杏⒄Z。 Module 10 My future life 第10模塊、我未來的生活。 511.
