Several languages die out every year. Some people do not think it is important and say that our life will be simpler with fewer languages. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
选项
答案
According to some statistics, half the world’s 6800 languages are likely to die out within two generations—that is one language would vanish every ten days. am sure that this is a curse rather than a blessing for our society, especially in the long run. Some people might argue that fewer languages will make life much simpler and more convenient, for we do not have to bother to adopt a totally new tongue or employ a translator or an interpreter to understand people from other nations. This could be true especially when cost-effectiveness and convenience are mainly considered. However, it is far from true when we take other side-effects into consideration as well. At the very last, extinction of various tongues is obviously a heavy loss to the study of languages—linguistics, which relies on comparisons between languages, if some minority languages die out, especially those without any recorded form, they will be forever lost to science. A more significant point that should be noted is that to be simple means to be monotonous. If languages, especially the minority ones, are disappearing at the current speed mentioned above, the great cultural diversity would be impossible to preserve, for no culture would be expected to continue without its language. In such cases, most people would speak the same language and think in a similar way; consequently, critical thinking would be a strange thing to people. And with diverse cultures and traditions lost, national identities might be blurred and monotonousness and dullness might result, which is never the consequence desired by anyone today. In conclusion, the dying out of languages is indeed a huge loss to the cultural diversity of the world today, and there is no way of compensation at all. So I think it is time individuals and governments alike should make a move to try to preserve the current languages we still have.
