2、講稿，僅供參考，希望能夠幫助到大家。ladies and gentlemen:good afternoon.the arrival of the year 1999 has brought with a near perfect opportunity to take a look back at the last one thousand years, assess mans successes and failures, and look forward with our predictions of the third millennium.already this afternoon

3、youve heard many assessments and youve heard a variety of predictions. a variety so vast, ranging from lewis carols depiction of celebratory life, to the irish celebration of death. so vast a variety that its difficult to find any common ground amongst the contestants here today. perhaps the only th

4、ing that we all share is that we are indeed discussing millennia, the old and the new and the turn of the millennium, and were all discussing it in the same language.a few hundred years ago to have held an event like this it would have been imperative that we were all fluent in a number of different

5、 tongues, for the approach of combating the language barrier was simply to learn many different languages. of course people back then had an ulterior motive: that was to ensure that different languages held their different societies or positions, or as king charles v of spain put it, “ i speak spani

6、sh to god, italian to women, french to men and german to my horse.”today our approach is somewhat different. instead of trying to vastly spread our verbal ability across the board, weve chosen rather to focus it, concentrating on our ability to master one particular language, the english language. t

7、ime magazine recently suggested that by the turn of the millennium, english will be the lingua franca for one quarter of the worlds population. already today sixty percents of the worlds television and radio broadcasts are produced and delivered in english. seventy percents of the worlds mail addres

8、sed in english. and it is the language of choice for almost every bite of computer data sent across the globe.but why english? there are no clear linguistic reasons for its suggested global dominance, certainly the grammar is complicated, the spelling peculiar and the pronunciation eccentric, to say

9、 the very least. one would need only look through the dictionary to find the vast list of amusing paradoxes in the english languagequicksand that works slowly, a boxing ring that is in fact square and a guinea pig thats really neither from guinea nor is it a pig. doesnt it seem odd that one can make

10、 amends but not one amend. or go through the annals of history but not one annal. the reason, ladies and gentlemen, is simple. english is strange, but no where near as strange as some of our alternatives.perhaps i should give you a few idiomatic examples. in english we say “once in a blue moon”. the

11、 italian choose instead “every death of a pope”. irish doesnt like our “drop dead”, replacing it rather with the slightly more obscure “you should lie in the earth.” and if you wanted to tell someone off in spanish our relatively obvious “go fly a kite” would be better served by the phrase “go fry a

12、sparagus”. englishs primary advantage is that of flexibility. on the one hand it has the largest vocabulary of all modern languages, allowing us, as its users, to say exactly what we want in exactly the words we choose to use. on the other, globalization has insured the introduction of a business en

13、glish, a sort of trimmed down variety of the language weve all come to know and love.its interesting to know that the simple list of just ten words, words like “a”, “and”, “have” and “the”, combined to form one quarter of all those ever used in modern communication. perhaps the real test is: will th

14、e global adoption of english as a master language insure the eradication of any misunderstandings that happen today? the answer is not as simple. russell hoven once asked: “how many people speak the same language even when they speak the same language?” but one can only hope that our only aim and our only chance of insuring that we communicate effectively with each other is to make sure that we do speak one universal language. in a thousand years time western clocks will hopefully
