世界英语：是福是祸？

汤姆麦克阿瑟

（1）2000 年，语言学家、威尔士人格兰维尔普莱斯，在他编辑的《英国与爱尔兰的语言》中发表了如下的观点：因为英语是个杀手。正是英语，导致坎伯兰语、康沃尔语、诺恩语和马恩语灭亡。在那些岛屿的部分地区，还有较大规模的群体讲比英语更古老的当地语言。但是，现在日常生活中，英语无处不在，人人—或者说—几乎人人都懂英语。英语威胁到那三种遗留的凯尔特语：爱尔兰语、苏格兰盖尔语和威尔士语，所以必须意识到，从长远来看，这三种语言的未来十分危险。（第 141 页）在此几年前，1992 年，英国学者罗伯特．菲利普森（他如今在丹麦工作）在牛津大学出版了一本书，名为《语言领域的帝国主义》。在书中，他指出，主要的英语国家、世界范围内英语教学产业，尤其是英国文化委员会，实施的是语言扩张政策。他还把这种政策和他所称的“语言歧视”（这个情况类似于“种族歧视”、“性别歧视”）联系在一起。在菲利普森看来，以“白人”为主的英语世界中，起主导作用的机构和个人，或故意或无意，鼓励或者至少容忍英语大肆扩张，他们当然不反对英语的扩张。英语的扩张开始于大约三个世纪以前，最初表现形式是经济与殖民扩张。

（2）菲利普森本人为英国文化委员会工作过几年。和他一样，还有一些母语为英语的学者，也试图强调英语作为世界语言的危险。在过去几十年里，人们从三个群体的角度，就英语的国际化进行了广泛的讨论。第一个群体是 ENL 国家，英语是母语（这个群体也叫“内部圈”）；第二个群体是 ESL 国家，英语是第

二语言（“外部圈”）；第三个群体是EFL 国家，英语是外语（“扩展圈”）。二十世纪八十年代，这些词语开始流行。从那时起，这第三圈实际上已扩展到全球范围。

（3）从来没有像英语这样的语言，这既有利也有弊。曾经有许多“世界语言”，例如：阿拉伯语、汉语、希腊语、拉丁语和梵语。总的来说，我们现在认为这些语言比较好，经常以赞美、感激的语气谈论与它们相关的文化以及它们给世界带来的变化。我们这样的态度，没有什么不妥，因为那些语言现在都不构成严重威胁。

（4）我们现在可以冷静地讨论古汉语对东亚或古拉丁语对西欧的影响。但是，我们与英语关系太紧密，无法同样冷静地分析、评价英语。在对英语的审判中，陪审团还没有露面，可能需要好几个世纪才能作出裁决。但即使如此，值此欧洲语言年，我们可以提出这个问题：普莱斯和菲利普森就我此时使用的语言对我们提出的警告是否有道理。

（5）当然，不难发现有这种情形：人们也许咒骂英语。澳大利亚就是一个例子。澳大利亚常被看成是不折不扣的英语国家。到那里的第一批欧洲人经常使用拉丁语描述、谈论这个地方。“澳大利亚”这个词就是拉丁语。显然，当时没有人想到只称它为“南方土地”这是“澳大利亚”的含义）。此外，在澳大利亚南部，有一大片土地叫“纳拉伯平原（Nullarbor Plains）”。其中，第一个词听起来象土著语言，但 Nullarbor 是拉丁语，意思是“没有树木”。最重要的是，早期的定居者把这个大陆称为“terra nullius”。1999 年“Encarta World English”是这样解释“terra nullius” 这个拉丁词组的：指这个想法和

法律概念：第一批欧洲人到达澳大利亚时，这片土地不属于任何人，因此可以随意定居。这种观点已被判定是没有法律效力的。但是，只是最近才这样判定的。欧洲人来的时候，澳大利亚人口稀少—不过有人居住—无论从哪个海岸到哪个海岸。当时部落和语言都有几百种，其中许多语言现在已经灭亡了，而正在灭亡的更多。这些死亡的和正在死亡的语言，大都被多种混杂英语或者通用的澳大利亚英语所取代。取决于你的立场，这或者是令人哀伤的损失，或者是进步的代价。（6）但是，同时有一个问题：土著语言的灭亡能完全归咎于英语吗？最早发现澳大利亚的欧洲人是荷兰人，他们的语言本可以成为殖民与定居中使用的语言。任何定居者的语言都可能有同样的作用。例如，如果蒙古人能维持他们幅员辽阔的欧亚帝国，蒙古语可能就会成为世界语言，传播到澳大利亚。再例如，如果历史有一些变化，那么今天世界语言可能是阿拉伯语。如今，阿拉伯语在西亚和北非是一种强大的语言，影响到许多其它较小的语言，包括科普特语和柏柏尔语。西班牙语对所谓“拉丁”美洲的土著语言产生了消极影响，而俄语从欧洲传到西伯利亚太平洋地区。如果英语是个祸害，是个杀手，那可能仅仅是因为任何大的语言都可能会影响到、威胁到较小的语言。

（7）但许多人认为英语是有益的。我这里暂不讨论任何世界语言具有的明显优势，例如：交流网络庞大、文学与传媒体系发达、文化与教育机构强大。让我们看看与此不同的问题：政治、公平与平等。这里我用南非为例来说明。十年前，南非结束了种族隔离为原则的统治。在南非语（这种语言来源于荷兰语）中，这种制度叫“apartheid”。出现这种制度，是因为欧洲血统的南非人群体—血统主要是荷兰的欧洲定居者—认为自己优于他们建立殖民地的当地人。

（8）说英语的、英国裔的南非人不是非常积极反对种族隔离制度。黑人的反对力量中，成员使用多种语言，他们起初缺少力量与组织。但是，使这种反对力量增强、更有组织的语言是英语。对于他们来说，英语成为自由与团结的主要语言，而不是用来压迫的语言。今天，南非有十一种官方语言 -- 英语、南非语和九种当地语言，包括祖鲁、恩德比利语和塞茨瓦纳语。但这九种语言中，南非黑人使用（或准备使用）哪一种作为本国通用语言呢？除了母语之外，他们希望子女还能熟练讲、写哪种呢？答案是，哪一种也不是。他们所希望的是英语，而且他们特别希望有与非洲相适宜的英语。

（9）所以，对于澳大利亚土著人来说，是个祸害，而对南非的土著人来说，却有一些好处。

（10）那么，在当今全球化而多样性受到威胁的世界里，我们应该怎样看待英语？在我看来，答案似乎很清楚。与很多事物一样，英语有时是福、有时是祸—对于个人、群体、国家甚至国家联盟，都是如此。东亚“阴”、“阳”的象征意义也许能很好地说明这个问题。阴中有阳，阳中有阴。两者虽相反，但共存。就我们这里的问题来说，指的是在同一交流圈内。这种象征意义说明，使用世界通用语言的人应该努力尽可能用其利而避其弊。

第一课 B

一大堆相矛盾的语言忌讳

蒂莫西基弗

（1）2002 年初，位于美国西北部的华盛顿州引起媒体轰动。当时，该州通过法律，禁止在官方场合使用“Oriental（东方的）”这个词语。而应该使用“Asian （亚洲的）”这个词。这个新法律只禁止用“Oriental（东方的）”指人。所以，有一个法律提到“少数民族”包括“Orientals（东方人）”，这就要改成“Asians（亚洲人）”而另一法律提到“Oriental medicine（东方医学）”则不变。该法律的提案人是韩裔美国人、州参议员保罗信，他说这个法律通过的原因是，“Oriental（东方的）”是“贬义词”，“令人厌恶”。

（2）“Oriental”来源于拉丁语的“oriens”，意思是“升起的太阳”或“东方”。因为亚洲位于欧洲以东，Oriental”就有了“亚洲的”意思。“The Orient”、Far East”和“East Asia”这三个名词词组，都是指亚洲大陆的东部。具有讽刺意味的是，俄罗斯东部通常不在东方和东亚所指的含义之内，尽管俄罗斯向东部延伸范围比其它任何欧亚大陆的国家都远。

（3）信先生和其他批评“Oriental”这个词的人认为，这个词令亚洲人厌恶，因为它暗示出一种以欧洲为中心的世界观。在美国的太平洋海岸，即华盛顿州所在位置，所谓的“Oriental（东方）”是在西面，不在东面。

（4）这个论点的问题是：有许多被广泛接受的地理词汇来源于这类过时的世界观。我的家乡是威斯康星州，那里属于被称为“中西部”的地区。但我住在美国

东部地区。出现这个词语，是因为人们是自东向西定居美国的。对于十八世纪末、十九世纪初从大西洋海岸开始定居的人，任何在阿帕拉契亚山以西的东西都被看成是“西部”。

（5）不久以前，欧洲人和美国人还愿意使用“Near East（近东）”这个词来指从埃及到伊朗的这片区域。近几十年来，Middle East（中东）”已经取而代之。这两个词语和“Far East（远东）”或“Orient（东方）”一样，只有把欧洲作为参照物时才有意义。

（6）在这方面，其它语言和英语一样糟糕。阿拉伯世界以西奈半岛为界，把自己分成Maghrib（西方）和 Mashriq（东方）两部分。具有讽刺意味的是，把古代世界分成亚洲和欧洲两个部分，这可能是希腊人从腓利基人（今天黎巴嫩人的祖先）那里借用来的。其实，“欧洲”和阿拉伯的“Maghrib” 很可能来源于闪米特族的同一个词根，意思是“太阳落下”。中国满不在乎地自称是“中央之国”，对于这样的文明，我们能说什么呢？

（7）在这样的语言问题上要求精确，这或许有些过分。无论认为“Oriental（东方人）”一词令人厌恶，这是否有道理，在过去的几十年中，该词已经渐渐不被用来指亚洲人或亚裔美国人了。在今天的英语中，用“Oriental（东方人）”一词来指人时，往好了说，听起来过时，往坏了说，则有贬义。

（8）然而，虽然说一个人是“东方人”也许不再妥当，但该词在指物的很多短语中仍是标准用法。例如，“东方地毯”指通常从土耳其或中亚进口的地毯，它们的价格极贵 ( 通常是数千美元 )，受到青睐。

（9）英语中还有许多其它显然具有矛盾倾向的、与种族相关的词。“ 中国城（Chinatown）”意思是中国移民居住的地区，是个恰当的词语。但是，用 Chinaman 指中国人，这在二十世纪上半叶的美国，可就令人厌恶，尽管该词是从“中国人”一词直接翻译来的。而“Frenchman”，意思是法国人，则完全是个中性的词语。

（10）美国佬在说到亚洲人时必须采取的小心态度，与说到撒哈拉沙漠以南非洲人后裔的美国人时所需要的精心考虑相比，那算不了什么，因为说到后者时就像走过地雷阵。“Colored person( 有色人)”一词现在令人厌恶，然而在美国国内战争 (1861—1865) 之后一百年中的大部分时间内，却被认为是个文明的词语。而另一方面，“person of color( 有色人)”，指任何非欧洲种族的人，却是可以接受的词语，而且在某些意识形态的圈子内，是一个受欢迎的词语。用来指美国黑人的“Negro”( 西班牙语“黑”的意思 )，在二十世纪六十年代让位于“black( 黑人)”或者“Black”，但到了八十年代又被

“Afro-American”( 非洲裔美国人 ) 所取代，到了 90 年代又让位于

African-American（非洲裔美国人)”或者“African American”。

（11）人们可以说“黑人”和“白人”，但若有人建议说“红人”( 美洲印第安人 -- 顺便说一下，他们是加拿大的“第一民族”) 或者“黄人”( 亚洲人 )，这可不好。“Reds( 红人)”只是用于政治问题，但“Browns（棕人）”有时却用来指祖先是印第安人或是印第安人与欧洲人混血的拉美人。

（12）我们怎么看待这一大堆相矛盾的语言忌讳呢？可从中了解两点：首先，母语不是英语的人用英语谈论民族和种族时必须谨慎，因为在这一领域，英语充满

着陷阱。第二，与其他种族相关的、冒犯性的词汇数量多，说明美国从来没有完全心甘情愿地接受多种族社会的状况。语言反映了文化，美国英语中贬义的、与种族有关的词汇数量很大，表明美国仍然存在着民族、种族间的紧张关系。

Text1 Habits are a funny thing. We reach for them mindlessly, setting our brains on auto-pilot and relaxing into the unconscious comfort of familiar routine. “Not ch In but habit rules the unreflecting herd,” William Wordsworth said in the 19th century. the ever-changing 21st century, even the word “habit” carries a negative connotation. So it seems antithetical to talk about habits in the same context as creativity and innovation. 习惯是件有趣的事情。我们无意识间养成了一些习惯，我们的大脑是自动运 转的，轻松进入熟知套路所带来的不自觉舒适状态。“这并非选择，而是习惯控 制了那些没有思想的人”，这是威廉?华兹华斯（William Wordsworth）19世纪时 说的话。在现在这个日新月异的21世纪，甚至习惯这个词本身也带有负面涵义。 因此，在创造和革新的背景下来谈论习惯，似乎显得有点矛盾。 But brain researchers have discovered that when we consciously develop new habits, we create parallel synaptic paths, and even entirely new brain cells, that can jump our trains of thought onto new, innovative tracks. But don’t bother trying to kil off old habits; once those ruts of procedure are worn into the hippocampus, they there to stay. Instead, the new habits we deliberately ingrain into ourselves create parallel pathways that can bypass those old roads. 但大脑研究人员发现，当我们有意识地培养新的习惯的时候，我们创建了平 行路径，甚至是全新的脑细胞，可以让我们的思路跳转到新的创新轨道上来。但 是，不必费心试图摈弃各种旧习惯；一旦这些程序惯例融进大脑，它们就会留在 那里。相反，我们刻意培养的新习惯会创建平行路径能避开原来那些老路。 “The first thing needed for innovation is a fascination with wonder,” says D Markova, author of “The Open Mind” and an executive change consultant for Professional Thinking Partners. “But we are taught instead to ‘decide,’ just as decide is to kill off president calls himself ‘the Decider.’” She adds, however, that “to all possibilities but one. A good innovational thinker is always exploring the many other possibilities.” 大学英语

Lesson 1 II. Translation Put the following passages into Chinese. 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。正是英语造成了凯尔特语、康沃尔语、诺恩语和马恩语等语言的消亡。这些岛上的分地区依然还有很多社区的人使用在英语到来之前就已存在的语言。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。英语对仅存的三种凯尔特语——爱尔兰语、苏格兰盖尔语及威尔士语的威胁是如此之大，人们一定认为它们遥远的未来是岌岌可危的。 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 "white" English-speaking world, have (by design or default) encouraged 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（与种族歧视、性别歧视等类似）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里，主要的机构和个人（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其为世界所做的贡献时，我们常怀有崇敬与赞赏，而且这样做是很安全的，因为这些语言现在已不会构成什么大的威胁。 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，我暂且不谈世界语言所具有的明显优势，例如庞大的交流网络、发达的文字与传媒体系以及强大的文化教育设施。 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。

Unit 1 Genetically modified foods -- Feed the World? If you want to spark a heated debate at a dinner party, bring up the topic of genetically modified foods. For many people, the concept of genetically altered, high-tech crop production raises all kinds of environmental, health, safety and ethical questions. Particularly in countries with long agrarian traditions -- and vocal green lobbies -- the idea seems against nature. 如果你想在某次晚宴上挑起一场激烈的争论，那就提出转基因食品的话题吧。对许多人来说，高科技的转基因作物生产的概念会带来诸如环境、健康、安全和伦理等方面的各种问题。特别是在有悠久的农业生产传统和主张环保的游说集团的国家里，转基因食品的主意似乎有悖自然。 In fact, genetically modified foods are already very much a part of our lives. A third of the corn and more than half the soybeans and cotton grown in the US last year were the product of biotechnology, according to the Department of Agriculture. More than 65 million acres of genetically modified crops will be planted in the US this year. The genetic is out of the bottle. 事实上，转基因食品已经成为我们生活重要的一部分。根据农业部的统计，美国去年所种植玉米的1／3，大豆和棉花的一半以上都是生物技术的产物。今年，美国将种植6500多万英亩的转基因作物。基因妖怪已经从瓶子里跑出来了。 Yet there are clearly some very real issues that need to be resolved. Like any new product entering the food chain, genetically modified foods must be subjected to rigorous testing. In wealthy countries, the debate about biotech is tempered by the fact that we have a rich array of foods to choose from -- and a supply that far exceeds our needs. In developing countries desperate to feed fast-growing and underfed populations; the issue is simpler and much more urgent: Do the benefits of biotech outweigh the risks? 但是，显然还有一些非常现实的问题需要解决。就像任何一种要进入食物链的新食品一样，转基因食品必须经过严格的检验。在富裕的国家里，由于有大量丰富的食品可供选择，而且供应远远超过需求，所以关于生物技术的争论相对缓和一些。在迫切想要养活其迅速增长而又吃不饱的人口的发展中国家，问题比较简单，也更加紧迫：生物技术的好处是否大于风险呢? The statistics on population growth and hunger are disturbing. Last year the world's population reached 6 billion. And by 2050, the UN estimates, it will probably near 9 billion. Almost all that growth will occur in developing countries. At the same time, the world's available cultivable land per person is declining. Arable land has

Lesson 1 1. Yesterday’s terrorism darkened, marked and forever altered the way Americans live their lives. 昨日发生的恐怖主义活动使美国人的生活暗淡无光，在他们的生活中留下了印迹，并永远地改变了他们的生活。 2. “We are going to have to learn what a lot of other countries have gone through: to manage fear at a cultural and national level,” said Charles Figley, a professor of trauma psychology at Florida State University. “We’re getting a lesson in the way fear works.” 佛罗里达州立大学创伤心理学教授查尔斯?费格里说:“我们得学一学其它许多国家曾经经历过的东西，那就是从文化上和在全国范围内来应对恐惧。”他还说:“我们正在体验恐惧是怎样起作用的。” 3. In a country long proud and even boastful of its openness—a country where an ordinary citizen can stroll through the U.S. Capitol unescorted—the terrorist attacks are likely to force Americans to a lot of that. Metal detectors now mark the front door of many government buildings, and security guards are a fixture in the lobby of most large office buildings. 美国是一个一向以开放自豪甚至洋洋得意的国家，在这里，人们可以独自在美国国会大楼中闲庭信步，而现在，恐怖袭击很有可能迫使美国人处处小心，惶惶不可终日。其实我们很大程度上已经是这样了。许多政府大楼的前门装设的金属探测器已然成为一道风景线，大部分的办公大楼里也必备保安。 4. But retaliation carries the risk of setting off a tightening spiral of violence and counterviolence not unlike the Middle East or Northern Ireland. Unlike countries that have had to learn to live with violence,”We are new at this,” said Florida’s Dr. Figley, who heads a project that has trained trauma teams in Yugoslavia.”My fear is we will overreach and make things worse rather than better by retribution, revenge, racism and marginalizing ethnic groups.” 报复有很大的危险，会引发和在中东及北爱尔兰一样的紧张的暴力和反暴力的恶性攀升。与那些不得不在暴力中学习如何生存的国家不同，“我们是新手，”曾在南斯拉夫训练过创伤急救队的项目负责人费格里博士说，“我所担心的是惩罚、报复、种族主义和排斥少数民族的举动会过于偏激，适得其反。” 5. Fear of terrorism is likely to lead Americans to tolerate more government surveillance—such as overhead video cameras at sporting events—than they have to date. “It’s very likely in the wake of today’s events that we’re going to see a greater acceptance on the public’s part—and on the court’s part—to approve certain kinds of police tactics,” said William Stuntz, a Harvard Low School professor. 对于恐怖主义的恐惧会使美国人接受比现在更多的来自政府的监控，例如在运动竞赛场上高架的摄象机。哈佛大学法学院教授威廉姆斯?斯汤资说，“经过目前前这些事件，我们将发现，无论是公众，还是法庭，都会在更大程度上接受某些警察的策略。” Lesson 5 戴维先到一步，事后他气愤地向我发难说当他告诉领班准备和谁一起吃饭时，领班的语气骤然逆转。一瞬间就从“这是个什么人？”变成“这边有请，先生。”当我们赶到时，拍照的人已经在饭店外忙个不停了。戴维开始嘲笑我是伦敦这家高级饭店里的知名人物。这时，我俩向屋内望去并同时看到了我们的偶像。

Lesson 8 IV. Translation Put the following into Chinese. 1. Every war has had its songs that whipped up patriotic fervor or, in the case of the Vietnam War that encouraged protest against it. 每场战争都有自己的歌曲来唤起人们的爱国热情或者如在越南战争中鼓励人们反战。 2. The idea is to take a song that people like or that has particular meaning or emotional association for them and use it with new words, hoping that some of the liking, meaning, or emotional associations will transfer to the new ideas being communicated. And it often works. 改词是把一首人们喜爱或者对他们具有特殊意义或感情色彩的歌曲填上新词，希望把这种喜爱、意义或感情色彩带到正在传播的新观念中。通常这种方法很奏效。 3 As a result, a number of community and national groups have applied pressure on stations to keep these songs and performers off the air.
