盡管日常生活中還有其他的語(yǔ)言，然而在加納、印度、尼日利亞、和新加坡，英語(yǔ)仍被用作官方、教育和貿(mào)易用語(yǔ)。 In China and many other countries ，it's the most important foreigh language that children will learn at school, 在中國(guó)和許多其他一些國(guó)家，英語(yǔ)是孩子們?cè)趯W(xué)校要學(xué)的一門(mén)重要的外語(yǔ)， because it's essential for tourism, international business , entertainment, radio, television, newspapers, and the Internet. 因?yàn)閷?duì)于旅游、國(guó)際貿(mào)易、娛樂(lè)、廣播、電視、報(bào)紙和網(wǎng)絡(luò)，英語(yǔ)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(yǔ)的人大約十五億、占世界總?cè)丝诘乃姆种�。�?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(gè)地方，都會(huì)有機(jī)會(huì)見(jiàn)到有人說(shuō)英語(yǔ)。 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(yǔ)并不總是通用的語(yǔ)言。 Until English became important in the 20th century, people who had any education sopke French. 受過(guò)教育的人都在說(shuō)法語(yǔ)，直到20世紀(jì)英語(yǔ)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(yǔ)的拼寫(xiě)對(duì)于它的發(fā)音沒(méi)有多少幫助，并且語(yǔ)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(jì)，英國(guó)的工業(yè)產(chǎn)品銷(xiāo)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(jì)，美國(guó)通過(guò)報(bào)紙、電視、電影和廣告將英語(yǔ)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(guó)際旅游、科技、工業(yè)的通用語(yǔ)言，在近幾年，它也成為信息技術(shù)和網(wǎng)絡(luò)的通用語(yǔ)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(yǔ)從其他語(yǔ)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(lèi)似。 It uses restaurant from French,zero from Arabic, piano from Italian, and typhoon, china and many others words from Chinses. restaurant 來(lái)自法語(yǔ)、zero來(lái)自阿拉伯語(yǔ)、piano來(lái)自意大利以及來(lái)自漢語(yǔ)的typoon,china 等許多其他單詞。 Will the importance of English last? 英語(yǔ)的重要性會(huì)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(rèn)為中國(guó)如果繼續(xù)發(fā)展壯大，到21世紀(jì)中葉、漢語(yǔ)會(huì)變得和英語(yǔ)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(lái)越多的學(xué)校正在教漢語(yǔ)作為一門(mén)外語(yǔ)，而不是其他的歐洲語(yǔ)言。 And tourism puts China into the top 10 countries for visitors. 并且旅游業(yè)將中國(guó)列入前10名國(guó)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(lái)的20年或30年中，英語(yǔ)仍然是使用廣泛的語(yǔ)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(shuí)擁有英語(yǔ)呢？答案是每個(gè)講英語(yǔ)的人--英國(guó)人、印度人和中國(guó)人都幫助它成為一種富有的語(yǔ)言。 It changes every year with new words and expressions. 英語(yǔ)每年都在變，都有新的單詞和短語(yǔ)出現(xiàn)。 Even though there are differences in grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and spelling, 即使在語(yǔ)法、詞匯、發(fā)音和拼寫(xiě)上有所不同， we all belong to the international English speaking world. We all own English. 我們都屬于國(guó)際英語(yǔ)這個(gè)世界，英語(yǔ)是我們大家的，也就是我們?nèi)繐碛杏⒄Z(yǔ)。 Module 10 My future life 第10模塊、我未來(lái)的生活。 511.
