问题     It goes without saying, then, that language is also a political instrument, means, and proof of power. It is the most vivid and crucial key to identity: it reveals the private identity, and connects one with, or divorces one from, the larger public, or communal identity. There have been, and are, times, and places, when to speak a certain language could be dangerous, even fatal. Or, one may speak the same language, but in such a way that one’s antecedents "are revealed, or (one hopes) hidden. This is true in France, and is absolutely true in England: The range (and reign) of accents on that damp little island make England coherent for the English and totally incomprehensible for everyone else. To open your mouth in England is (if I may use black English) to "put your business in the street": You have confessed your parents, your youth, your school, your salary, your self-esteem, and, alas, your future.
选项
答案     不言而喻，语言也是一种政治工具、手段和力量的象征。对于身份而言语言是极其形象并且至关重要的，因为它可以透露个人的身份，也可以将个人与公众或公共的身份联系起来或与其分离开。在某些时间或地点讲某种语言可能是危险的，甚至是致命的。这种情况过去发生过，现在也存在。或者某人可能讲一种语言，但是这样就会泄露自己的身份，也可能像他所希望的那样而隐瞒。这种情况在法国如此，在英国尤其如此。在这片湿气袭人的小岛上，英式口音的影响及统治范围使英国仅与带有英国口音的英国人和谐共存，却不适合其他人在此生活。在英国开口说英语(如果我可以使用黑人英语)相当于把你的全部都公之于众，包括你的父母、青年时期、所受的教育、薪水、自尊，天啊，甚至你的未来都被一览无余。
