Ever since the ancient Romans imposed their language on neighboring barbaria

问题     Ever since the ancient Romans imposed their language on neighboring barbarians, the teaching of Latin has been inseparable from cultural politics. In the Middle Ages, Latin was the preserve of the Church, whose leaders believed that the language was inherently holier than the vernacular, and who used Latin as a means of establishing a distance between priests and their parishioners. In the Renaissance, the classics were seen as a beneficial source of eternal, universal truths — "From Cicero I’ve learned to be myself," an Italian humanist announced —and such a belief persisted well into the nineteenth century. The argument for the improving qualities of Latin is still made by the American Classical League, which points to studies showing that schoolchildren who have studied Latin achieve higher standardized test scores than their non-Latinist peers.
选项
答案    从古罗马人强迫相邻的野蛮人学习拉丁语开始，教授拉丁语就一直和文化政策密切相关。中世纪时代，拉丁语是教会的专利。教会领袖们认为，拉丁语比方盲神圣，他们用拉丁语来拉开牧师和教民之间的距离。文艺复兴时代，古典作品被视作永恒的普遍真理的来源——“从西塞罗那里我学会了成为我自己”，一位意大利人文主义者如是说——而且这样一种观点一直持续到19世纪。现在美国古典联盟仍坚持学拉丁语有益的观点。它指出，调查显示，学过拉丁语的小学生比 其他小学生在标准化测试中成绩更好。
