《Languages Around The World》Section A PPT
第一部分内容：晨读晚诵
There are now about 376 million people who speak English as their first language,and about the same number who have learnt it in addition to their mother tongue.It is said that there are one billion people learning English now and about 80% of the information on the Internet is in English.
Is this a good thing,or a bad thing?Should we celebrate① the fact that more and more of us can communicate②,using a common language,across countries and cultures?Or should we worry about the dangers of “mono-culturalism”,a world in which we all speak the same language,eat the same food and listen to the same music?
Does it matter if an increasing number of people speak the same language?I would have thought the other way around(相反) although I have never accepted the argument③ that if only we all understood each other better,there would be fewer wars.Ask the people of India (where many of them speak at least some English) and Pakistan (the same situation with India)...
If we all speak English,will we then all start eating McDonald’s burgers?Surely not.If English becomes more dominant(占主导地位的),it will kill other languages.I doubt it.When I travel in Africa or Asia,I am always surprised by how many people can speak not only their own language but also one or more other related languages,as well as English and perhaps some French or German as well.
When we discussed④ this on Talking Point a couple of years ago,we received a wonderfully poetic email from a listener in Ireland.“The English language is a beautiful language.Maybe it’s like a rose,” he said.“But who would ever want their garden just full of roses?”
Well,I love roses,and I think they make a beautiful addition to any garden.But the way I see it,just by planting a few roses,you don’t necessarily need to pull out everything else.If more and more people want to plant English roses,that’s fine by me.
①celebrate vt. 庆祝
②communicate vi. 交流
③argument n. 争论
④discuss vt. 讨论
Should we celebrate the fact that more and more of us can communicate,using a common language,across countries and cultures?
译文:我们是否应该庆祝这样一个事实:越来越多的人可以使用一种共同的语言在不同的国家和文化之间进行交流?
分析:本句是一个复合句。that引导的句子做fact的同位语,using a common language是动词-ing形式短语做状语。

Languages Around The WorldPPT，第三部分内容：课堂篇学习理解
1.native adj.出生地的;本地的;土著的 n.本地人
【课文原句】They are spoken by around 2.8 billion people as their native or second languages.
约有28亿人把它们作为母语或第二语言使用。
【词汇精讲】句中的native是形容词,意为“出生地的”,在此做定语修饰language。
Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom.
对孩子而言,和说母语的人待在一起比仅仅坐在教室里更胜一筹。
The eagle is the animal most sacred to the Native Americans.
对土著美国人来说,鹰是最神圣的动物。
At first the natives and Europeans were getting along well.
起初,本地人和欧洲人相处融洽。
2.attitude n.态度;看法
【课文原句】What is the attitude of the speaker towards foreign language learning?
说话者对外语学习持有什么样的态度?
【词汇精讲】句中的attitude意为“态度”,是可数名词。
As soon as he found out I was a doctor his attitude changed.
他一发现我是医生,态度就变了。
Your attitude would be improved when you fix your attention on good things.
当你注重好的事情的时候你的看法会改善。
3.refer vi. 提到;参考;查阅 vt. 查询
【课文原句】Pronouns refer to something or somebody mentioned earlier.
代词指的是前面提到的事物或人。
【词汇精讲】句中的refer to意为“指的是”。
Although she didn’t mention any names,everyone knew who she was referring to.虽然她没有提到任何名字,但每个人都知道她指的是谁。
Does what he says refer to me?
他的话里指的是我吗?
Learning English is very useful,but it is wise to learn at least one other foreign language,if possible.学习英语是非常有用的,但如果可能的话,至少学习另外一门外语是明智的。
【句式剖析】本句是一个并列句。Learning English...是第一个分句的主语,在第二个分句中it是形式主语,真正的主语是后面的动词不定式短语to learn...;if possible是省略形式,省略了主语it和连系动词,补全为:if it is possible。
If(it is) possible,please come to the party before 7.
如果可能的话,七点前来参加聚会。
If(it is) possible,you hand in your homework tomorrow.
如果可能的话,你可以明天交作业。
