語言的流失 Loss of Language
Some linguists point out that the spread of English and development of people’s living standards have some negative effects on the local language and culture development. Do you agree with them? I think the answers are various. As far as I am concerned, I support their opinions. My reasons are as follows.
一些語言學家指出，英語以及人們生活水平的發展對當地語言和文化的發展有着負面影響。你同意這個觀點嗎？我認爲答案是總說紛紜的。就我而言，我支持他們的觀點。我的理由如下。
On the one hand, the widely used of English has great influence. It is well-known that English is the only international standard language. And recently as the rapid development of English speaking country, more and more people whose mother tongue is not English start to use it widely. Therefore, gradually the languages like English spread wilder and wilder in people’s life. At the same time, there local language may be used less and less in people’s daily life. For example, people use to use their local language to communicate, but now there will be less time for them to use their own language.
另一方面，英語的廣泛使用產生了很大的影響。衆所周知，英國是唯一的國際標準語言。最近，作爲說英語國家的快速發展，越來越多母語不是英語的人都開始廣泛使用英語。因此，像英語那樣的語言逐漸廣泛地蔓延到人們的生活中。同時，當地的語言的使用在人們的日常生活中可能會越來越少。例如，人們過去常常用當地的語言進行交流，但現在他們可以使用自己的語言的時間卻是越來越少。
On the other hand, people living a better life also have negative influence. With the development of economic, more and more people rush into the developed city for living a better life. Especially for the young people, they may live in the big city with their parents, and seldom go back to their hometown. Then the chance they can reach local language is very few.
另一方面，人們的生活水平的提高也有負面的影響。隨着經濟的發展，越來越多的人涌向發達城市來乞求更美好的生活。尤其是年輕人，他們可以會和父母住在大城市裏，很少回家鄉。這樣他們接觸到當地的語言的機會就會越來越少。
To sum up, because of the reasons mentioned above, I think the loss of local langue will really come true one day. We should do something to save our language.
總之，綜上所述，我認爲語言的流失有一天真的會成真的。我們應該做些什麼來拯救我們的語言。
