缩写英语段落
The world faces a future of people speaking more than one language ,with English no longer seen as likely to become dominant,a British language expert says in a new analysis."English is likely to remain one of the world's most important language for the forseeable future ,but its future is more problematic--and complex--than most people appreciate,"said language researcher David Graddol.
He sees English as likely to become the "first among equals" rather than having the global field to itself...The share of the world's population that speaks English as a native language is falling,Graddol reports in a paper in Friday's issue of the journal Science.
"There is a distinct consciousness in many countries,both developed and developing,about this dominance of
English.There is some evidence of resistance to it,a
desire to change it "said Montgomery.For example,he said
,in the early years of the Internet it was dominated
by sites in English ,but in recent years there has been a proliferation of non-English sites,especially Spanish,German ,French,Japanese,and others.
Nonetheless,English is strong as a second language,and teaching it has become a growth industry,said Montgomery,a Seattle-based geologist and energy consultant.
Graddol noted,though,that employers in parts of Asia are already looking beyond English." In the next decade the new "must learn" language is likely to be Mandarin".
David Graddol,language reasercher,indicated that:people seems to use more than one language in the future,and the language they ues will no longer dominated by english.
Graddol's reports shows that:firstly,in recent years,non-english websites is increasing dramatically.secondly,english is wildy learnt as a secondly language rather than a native one.thirdly,there may more people hierd in non-englshi speaking area.
