英语语言在世界上的地位
——2017年英译汉及详解
The growth of the use of English as the world’ s primary language for international commu nication has obviously been continuing for several decades.【F1】
But even as the number of English speakers expands further there are signs that the global predominance of the language may fade within the foreseeable future.
Complex international, economic, technological and cultural changes could start to diminish the leading position of English as the language of the world market, and UK interests which enjoy advantage from the breadth of English usage would consequently face new pressures. Those real istic possibilities are highlighted in the study presented by David Graddol.【F2】
His analysis should therefore end any self-contentedness among those who may believe that the global position of English is so stable that the young generations of the United Kingdom do not need additional languages capabilities.
David Graddol concludes that monoglot English graduates face a bleak economic future as qualified multilingual youngsters from other countries are proving to have a competitive advantage over their British counterparts in global companies and organizations. Alongside that,【F3】
many countries are introducing English into the primary-school curriculum but British school-children and students do not appear to be gaining greater encouragement to achieve fluency in other languages.
If left to themselves, such trends will diminish the relative strength of the English language in international education markets as the demand for educational resource in languages, such as Spanish, Arabic or Mandarin grows and international business process outsourcing in other languages such as Japanese, French and German, spreads.
【F4】
The changes identified by David Graddol all present clear and major challenges to the UK’s providers of English language teaching to people of other countries and to broader education business sectors.
The English language teaching sector directly earns nearly $1.3 billion for the UK in invisible exports and our other education related exports earn up to $10 billion a year more. As the international education market expands, the recent slowdown in the numbers of international students studying in the main English-speaking countries is likely to continue, especially if there are no effective strategic policies to prevent such slippage.
The anticipation of possible shifts in demand provided by this study is significant:【F5】
It gives a basis to all organisations which seek to promote the learning and use of English, a basis for planning to meet the possibilities of what could be a very different operating environment.
That is a necessary and practical approach. In this as in much else, those who wish to influence the future must prepare for it.
【F4】
选项
答案
大卫-格拉多尔所确定的这些变化,向英国英语语言教学的提供者、向他国人们、向更为宽广的教育行业,发起了清晰的巨大挑战。
解析
本句考查的重点是:分词做定语。
句子主干为The changes present clear and major challenges;identified by David Graddol为定语,修饰changes;。后面是三个并列的结构,分别为to the UK’s providers of English language teaching,to people of other countries和to broader education business sectors。
本句中有一个动词结构为present sth.to sb.,意为“向某人提出某事”。定语identified by David Graddol“大卫-格拉多尔所确定的”放在所修饰名词changes“变化”前翻译。介词to后面的三个间接宾语在翻译时,译成状语,放在动词present之前。education business sectors在此处译为“教育行业”更加恰当。
