Who hasn’t wanted to master not just two languages but 10? Take Giuseppe Mezzofanti, a 19th-century priest who was said to be【C1】______ in as many as 50 languages. Native speakers came from all over the world to test his【C2】______, and many left astonished.
In Babel No More, Michael Erard investigates the legend of Mezzofanti and other linguistic geniuses. Early on Erard asks what it means to really know a language. Claire Kramsch tells him the question should not be "How many languages do you know?" but rather "In how many languages do you live?" Understanding the【C3】______ cultural difference of a language requires extensive and 【C4】______ contact with its speakers, and for that reason Kramsch doubts that anyone could ever live in more than four or five languages.
Fair enough,【C5】______ what about the astonishing feats of memory and calculation that people display when they pick up a new language, or eight? Erard points out that, for no good reason, this question has been【C6】______ by science. After all, we study extraordinary talents in mathematics and music; why not linguistic geniuses?
Erard【C7】______down Mezzofanti’s papers, speaks to many language experts and even learns that some bilingual people experience mental illness in one【C8】______ but not another. Most interestingly, he【C9】______ a group of modern linguistic geniuses. Memory, motivation and practice are all important, they say, but so is a practical strategy. Those who claimed to speak 11 languages did not much care about sounding like a native. Unlike Mezzofanti, their goal was not to【C10】______but to do—see the world, read the local paper and not get lost. [br] 【C2】
选项
答案

解析
