#1。英语 - 这里没有惊喜

#1. English - No Surprises Here Folks

  英语无处不在:它是世界上最广泛的语言。旅行到世界上几乎任何一个国家,你会发现英语。事实上,英语可能习惯让你在那里; 因为英语是天空的语言。所有飞行员都需要使用英语(和标准航空术语)来识别自己。

  English is everywhere: It is the most widespread language in the world. Travel to virtually any country in the world and you will find English. In fact, English was probably used to get you there; as English is the language of the skies. All pilots are required to identify themselves using English (and standard aviation phraseology).

  英语最初与大英帝国共同传播,在全球建立了英语精英。英语的影响仍然存在,由美国这样的英语国家的技术和文化进步重新实施。英语仍然是商业和高等教育的语言,世界各地的主要出版物以英文写成。英语也是互联网上最大的语言。我们认为。它可能是猫咪。

  English initially spread with the British Empire, establishing an English-speaking elite around the globe. The influence of the English language has remained, re-enforced by the technological and cultural advances of English-speaking countries like the United States of America. English remains the language of business and higher education, with leading publications around the world written in English. English is also the biggest language on the internet. We think. It could be cat memes.

  有趣的是,没有官方的中央英语管理机构。然而,非官方地,有些人认为牛津英语词典是一个权威。标准化的缺乏使得当地文化与英语之间产生了非常有趣的相互作用,从而产生了新加坡语(Singhan)这样的方言。同一个词可以有非常不同的含义,即使是密切相关的“方言”。拿橡胶字。在英国,这是一件文具。在美国,橡胶具有更有趣的用途。

  Interestingly, there is no official central English language governing body. Unofficially however, some people consider the Oxford English Dictionary to be an authority. The lack of standardisation has allowed a very interesting interplay between local cultures and the English language, giving rise to dialects like Singlish (Singaporean English). The same word can have very different meanings, even in closely related ‘dialects’. Take the word rubber. In the United Kingdom, it is an item of stationery. In the US a rubber has more entertaining uses.

#2。德语 - 63个字母和数字...

#2. German - 63 letters and counting…

  德语通常被列为世界第十大语言。大多数德语的母语人士在德国,这是一个普遍的语言其实是不寻常的。例如,美国的英语母语人数大约是英国的四倍。如果我们以母语为母语,德语实际上是欧盟最大的语言。

  German is usually ranked as the 10th largest language in the world. Most native speakers of German are in Germany, which is actually unusual for a popular language. For example the USA has roughly four times as many English native speakers as the United Kingdom. If we were going by native speakers, German would in fact be the largest language in the EU.

  德语以“复合词”而闻名,偶尔出现苛刻,可怕的发音。一个Krankenwagen不健全,相当的救护车友好。复合允许长期而且无可否认地有些利基,如Rechtsschutzversicherungsgesellschaften(保险公司提供法律保护)。

  German is famous for “compound words” and occasionally harsh, terrifying pronunciations. A Krankenwagen doesn’t sound quite as friendly as an ambulance. Compounding allows long, and admittedly somewhat niche, words like Rechtsschutzversicherungsgesellschaften (insurance companies providing legal protection).

  也就是说,德国有一些特别有用的话。我们都知道一个Backpfeifengesicht - 一个需要一个拳头的脸庞。我们都感觉到了Schadenfreude - 来自另一个人的不幸的快乐。承认它 我们知道你这样做

  That said, there are some particularly useful German words. We all know a Backpfeifengesicht – a face badly in need of a fist. We all feel Schadenfreude – pleasure derived from another person’s misfortune. Admit it. We know you do.

#3。法语 - 不要与快乐混合业务

#3. French - Don’t Mix Business with Pleasure

  法语听起来更浪漫吗?经典的“Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?”尝试用德语说。或者说是英文。不一样的

  What doesn’t sound more romantic in French? The classic “Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?” Try saying that in German. Or English for that matter. Not quite the same.

  法语几乎与英语一样广泛,在西撒哈拉以南非洲地区有很大的用途。法语也影响了英语,30-50%的英语单词被认为具有法语起源。

  French is almost as widely spoken as English, with significant usage in Western and Sub-Saharan Africa. French has also influenced the English language, with 30-50% of English words believed to have French origins.

  除了浪漫之外,法国还有许多商业应用。法语经典被认为是外交语言。它是许多国际组织的正式工作语言,如联合国或欧洲人权法院。了解任何言论的文化意义非常重要。

  Romance aside, French has many business applications. Classically, French is considered the language of diplomacy. It is an official working language of many international organisations, such as the United Nations or the European Court of Human Rights. It is very important to understand the cultural significance of any remarks.

  法语也是国际重量和度量局的工作语言。这是负责维护国际统一世界时间常规(UTC)或国际原型千克等关键措施的组织。没有了,我们将无法维持世界,因为我们知道。

  French is also the working language of the International Bureau of Weights and Measures. This is the organisation responsible for maintaining key measures such as the International Co-Ordinated Universal Time Constant (UTC) or the International Prototype Kilogram. Without this we would not be able to sustain the world as we know it.

#4。意大利语 - “你没有娱乐吗?”

#4. Italian - “Are you not entertained?”

  当你想到意大利时,你可能会想到古罗马,角斗士和塞萨尔。或者也许你会想到米开朗基罗的大卫,或达芬奇的蒙娜丽莎。因此,你会认为意大利和意大利语已经存在了几个世纪。你会错的

  When you think of Italy, you might think of Ancient Rome, Gladiators and Cesar. Or perhaps you think of Michelangelo’s David, or Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. Therefore, you would think that Italy and the Italian language have been around for centuries. And you would be wrong.

  技术上意大利共和国是统一的,大约150年前的语言标准化。一开始,只有约2%的人口可以使用标准化的意大利语言,大多数人口是20种当地区域语言之一。

  Technically the Republic of Italy was unified and the language standardised around 150 years ago. At the start, only around 2% of the population could speak the standardised Italian language, with most people speaking one of the 20 local regional languages.

  今天,大约90%的人口使用标准化语言,少数人只使用区域语言。然而,区域语言仍然非常强大,那不勒斯和托斯卡纳是最大的。标准意大利语只有21个字母在字母表中缺少J,K,W,X和Y.任何含有这些字母的意大利语通常是来自其他语言的贷款单词。

  Today, around 90% of the population use the standardised language, with a minority speaking only a regional language. The regional languages however are still very strong, with Neapolitan and Tuscan being among largest. The standardised Italian language only has 21 letters in its alphabet – missing J, K, W, X and Y. Any “Italian” words containing these letters are usually loan words from other languages.

#5。西班牙语 - 一半的世界是不够的

#5. Spanish - Half the world is not enough…

  西班牙语是一种受阿拉伯语影响的印欧语言,约8%的西班牙语字是阿拉伯语。西班牙语普遍被列为世界第二大语言(以母语为母语)。它基本上是西半球最常见的语言。

  Spanish is an Indo-European Language which has been heavily influenced by Arabic, with around 8% of Spanish words being Arabic in origin. Spanish is commonly listed as the second-largest language in the world (by number of native speakers) after Mandarin. It’s basically the most common language in the Western Hemisphere of the Earth.

  大多数西班牙语人士在西班牙以外发现,墨西哥是最大的西班牙语国家。西班牙语是南美大多数国家的通用语言,如果不是官方语言。

  Most Spanish speakers are found outside Spain, with Mexico being the largest Spanish-speaking country. Spanish is the lingua franca, if not the official language, of most countries in South America.

  西班牙语预计将在2020年左右成为美国的第二语言。有趣的是,英国文化协会已将西班牙语列为英国未来最重要的语言。然而,西班牙语在欧盟排名前五的最大语言名单中排名第五。

  Spanish is projected to become the second language of the United States of America by around 2020. Interestingly, the British Council have listed Spanish as the most important language in the UK’s future. Spanish is however, only 5th on our list of Top 5 Biggest Languages in the EU.
