Passage 1
There are more than five thousand languages spoken today. They are so different that most of them are mutually unintelligible. That’s why we need a lot of translators and interpreters.
We are all intimately familiar with at least one language, yet few of us ever stop to consider what we know about our language and linguistic competence. Many of them even barely know the definition of language.
We may say that language is a tool of communication. But if language is defined merely as that, then language is not unique to humans. We know birds, bees, whales, and most other creatures communicate in some way.
A basic property of human language is its creative aspect, that is, a speaker’s ability to combine the basic linguistic units to form an infinite set of grammatical sentences.
选项
答案
今天人们所说的语言达5000多种。这些语言之间有很大的差异。以至大多数语言之间互不相通。这就是为什么我们需要许许多多口笔译员。
虽然我们每个人会说至少一种语言,但很少有人会静心思考一下自己的语言知识和语言能力。许多人甚至对语言的定义也不甚了解。
我们可以说语言是交际的工具。但是如果语言的定义仅仅是一种交际系统,那么语言便不是人类的专有。我们知道大部分生物如鸟、蜜蜂、鲸等,都有某种交际方式。
人类语言的一个基本属性是创造性,也就是说,说话者能够将语言的基本单位组合起来,生成无限多的符合语法规则的句子。
