How long are you staying?
我知道你们在想什么,你们觉得
我迷路了,马上就会有人走上台温和地把我带
回我的座位上。(掌声)。我在迪拜总会遇
上这种事。

(笑声)
“
来探望孩子的吗?这次要待多久呢?
Well
actually, I hope for a while longer yet. I have
been living
and teaching in the Gulf
for over 30 years. (Applause) And in
that time, I have seen a lot of
changes. Now that statistic is
quite
shocking. And I want to talk to you today about
language
loss and the globalization of
English. I want to tell you about
my
friend who was teaching English to adults in Abu
Dhabi.
And one fine day, she decided to
take them into the garden to
teach them
some nature vocabulary. But it was she who ended
up learning all the Arabic words for
the local plants, as well as
their uses
-- medicinal uses, cosmetics, cooking, herbal. How
did those students get all that
knowledge? Of course, from
their
grandparents and even their great-grandparents.
It's not
necessary to tell you how
important it is to be able to
communicate across generations.
恩,
事实上,
我希望能再待久一点。
< br>我在波斯湾这边生活和教书已经超过
30
年
了。(掌声)这段时间里,我看到了很多变化。现在这份数据是挺吓人的,而
我今天要和你们说的是有关语言的消失和英语的全球化。我想和你们谈谈我的
朋友,她在
阿布达比教成人英语。在一个晴朗的日子里,她决定带她的学生到
花园去教他们一些大自
然的词汇。但最后却变成是她在学习所有当地植物在阿
拉伯语中是怎么说的。还有这些植
物是如何被用作药材,化妆品,烹饪,香草。
这些学生是怎么得到这些知识的呢?当然是
从他们的祖父母,甚至曾祖父母那
里得来的。不需要我来告诉你们能够跨代沟通是多么重
要。
But sadly, today,
languages are dying at an unprecedented
rate. A language dies every 14 days.
Now, at the same time,
English is the
undisputed global language. Could there be a
connection? Well I don't know. But I do
know that I've seen a
lot of changes.
When I first came out to the Gulf, I came to
Kuwait in the days when it was still a
hardship post. Actually,

not that long ago.
That is a little bit too early. But nevertheless,
I was recruited by the British Council
along with about 25
other teachers. And
we were the first non-Muslims to teach in
the state schools there in Kuwait. We
were brought to teach
English because
the government wanted to modernize the
country and empower the citizens
through education. And of
course, the
U.K. benefited from some of that lovely oil
wealth.
但遗憾的是,
今天很多语言正在以前所未有的
速度消失。
每
14
天就有一种语言
p>
消失,而与此同时,英语却无庸置疑地成为全球性的语言。这其中有关联吗?
我不知道。但我知道的是,我见证过许多改变。初次来到海湾地区时,我去了
科
威特。当时教英文仍然是个困难的工作。其实,没有那么久啦,这有点太久
以前了。
p>
总之,
我和其他
25
位老师一起被英国文化协会聘用。
我们是第一批非
穆斯林的老
师,在科威特的国立学校任教。我们被派到那里教英语,是因为当
地政府希望国家可以现
代化并透过教育提升公民的水平。当然,英国也能得到
些好处,产油国可是很有钱的。<
/p>
Okay. Now this is the major
change that I've seen -- how
teaching
English has morphed from being a mutually
beneficial practice to becoming a
massive international
business that it
is today. No longer just a foreign language on
the school curriculum. And no longer
the sole domain of
mother England. It
has become a bandwagon for every
English-speaking nation on earth. And
why not? After all, the
best education
-- according to the latest World University
Rankings -- is to be found in the
universities of the U.K. and
the U.S.
So everybody wants to have an English education,
naturally. But if you're not a native
speaker, you have to pass
a test.
言归正传,我见过最大的改变,就是英语教学的蜕变如何从一个互惠互利的行
为变成今天这种大规模的国际产业。英语不再是学校课程里的外语学科,也不
再只是英
国的专利。英语(教学)已经成为所有英语系国家追逐的潮流。何乐
而不为呢?毕竟,最
好的教育来自于最好的大学,而根据最新的世界大学排名,
那些名列前茅的都是英国和美
国的大学。所以自然每个人都想接受英语教育,
但如果你不是以英文为母语,你就要通过
考试。
Now can it be right to
reject a student on linguistic ability
alone? Perhaps you have a computer
scientist who's a genius.
Would he need
the same language as a lawyer, for example?

Well, I don't
think so. We English teachers reject them all the
time. We put a stop sign, and we stop
them in their tracks.
They can't pursue
their dream any longer, till they get English.
Now let me put it this way, if I met a
monolingual
Dutch
speaker who had the cure for cancer,
would I stop him from
entering my
British University? I don't think so. But indeed,
that is exactly what we do. We English
teachers are the
gatekeepers. And you
have to satisfy us first that your English
is good enough. Now it can be dangerous
to give too much
power to a narrow
segment of society. Maybe the barrier
would be too universal.
但仅凭语
言能力就拒绝学生这样对吗?譬如如果你碰到一位天才计算机科学
家,但他会需要有和律
师一样的语言能力吗?我不这么认为。但身为英语老师
的我们,却总是拒绝他们。我们处
处设限,将学生挡在路上,使他们无法再追
求自己的梦想,直到他们通过考试。现在容我
换一个方式说,如果我遇到了一
位只会说荷兰话的人,
而这个人
能治愈癌症,
我会阻止他进入我的英国大学吗?
我想不会。但事
实上,我们的确在做这种事。我们这些英语老师就是把关的。
你必须先让我们满意,使我
们认定你的英文够好。但这可能是危险的。把太多
的权力交由这么小的一群人把持,也许
会令这种障碍太过普及。
Okay.
in English.
in English, but
that is a self-fulfilling
prophecy
. It feeds the
English requirement. And so it goes on.
I ask you, what
happened to
translation? If you think about the Islamic
Golden Age, there was lots of
translation then. They translated
from
Latin and Greek into Arabic, into Persian, and
then it was
translated on into the
Germanic languages of Europe and the
Romance languages. And so light shone
upon the Dark Ages of
Europe. Now don't
get me wrong; I am not against teaching
English, all you English teachers out
there. I love it that we
have a global
language. We need one today more than ever.
But I am against using it as a barrier.
Do we really want to end
up with 600
languages and the main one being English, or
Chinese? We need more than that. Where
do we draw the line?
This system
equates intelligence with a knowledge of English
which is quite
arbitrary
