研究生英语阅读教程第三版(基础级)翻译答案Lesson1~6

Lesson1

1.

For English is a killer. It is English that has killed off Cumbric, Cornish,

Norn and Manx. There are still parts of these islands where sizeable

communities speak languages that were there before English. Yet English

is everywhere in everyday use and understood by all or virtually all,

constituting such a threat to the three remaining Celtic languages, Irish,

Scottish Gaelic, and Welsh... that their long-term future must be

considered... very greatly at risk.

因为英语是个杀手。正是英语造成了

康瑞克、康尼施、诺恩、曼科斯等语言的消亡。在

其中一部分岛上

还有相当多的人使用在英语到来之前就已存在的语言。

< br>

然而，

英语

在日常生

活中无处不在。所有的人或几乎所有的人都懂英语。英语

对现存的凯尔特语——爱尔兰 语、

苏格兰盖尔语及威尔士语的威胁

是如此之大，它们的未来岌岌可危。

2.

He also associated such policies with a prejudice which he calls

linguisticism (a condition parallel to racism and sexism). As Phillipson

sees it, leading institutions and individuals within the predominantly

or at least tolerated

—

and certainly have not opposed

—

the hegemonic

spread of English, a spread which began some three centuries ago as

economic and colonial expansion.

同时，他 认为这些政策和他称之为

语言歧视（和种族歧视、性别歧视的情况类似）的偏

见密切相关。

在菲利普森看来，

在以白人英语为主导的世界，

最重要的机构和个人

（有 意或

无意地）鼓励或者至少是容忍了（肯定没有反对）英语霸

权主义式的传播。

这种传播始于三

个世纪之前的经济及殖民扩张。

3.

By and large, we now view them as more or less benign, and often talk

with admiration and appreciation about the cultures associated with

them and what they have given to the world. And it is fairly safe to do

this, because none of them now poses much of a threat.

总的来说，

我

们现在或多或少地把这些语言看作有利的语言。

在谈到与之相关的

文化及

做也没有太大的 风险，因为这些

语言现在已不会构成什么威胁。

4.

Yet many people see English as a blessing. Let me leave aside here the

obvious advantages possessed by any world language, such as a large

communicative network, a strong literary and media complex, and a

powerful cultural and educational apparatus.

然而，

许多人把英语看成

是一件幸事。在此，我暂且不谈任何世界语言所具有的明显优

势，

例如广泛的通信网，

强大的文化传媒体系，

及强有力的文化教育机构。

5.

English-speaking South Africans of British descent were not

particularly strong in opposing the apartheid regime, and the black

opposition, whose members had many languages, was at first weak and

disorganized.

讲英语的南非英国后裔并不强烈反对种族隔离政权，

而黑人反对力量，

其成员讲多种语

言，

在初期软弱无力且缺乏组织。

6.

Such symbolism suggests that the users of the world's lingua franca

should seek to benefit as fully as possible from the blessing and as far as

possible avoid invoking the curse.

这一象征表明这种世界通用语的使

用者应充分发掘这一幸事为我们带来的好处

,

同时尽

能避免招来灾

难。

being a be ginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter
