工作学习 / 外语学习 / 语言本是没有的，用的人多了就有了。语言因为人而是活的，不能灵活扩展的语言会慢慢死掉。英语我们现在叫它英语，但随着华人和其它种族的人慢慢掌握了它，灵活改变了它，随即拓展了它，明天它就不只是英美人的语言，而是我们所有人的语言。 -mikesmith(老猫); 2012-11-25 (#7920139@0)

There's No Shame...in our imperfect English...Let's be proud: it is "we" - those who speak English as a second language, that are enriching it and give it a long lasting life... -mikesmith(老猫); 2012-11-25 (#7920194@0)

我觉得我们现在无法改变英语就像无法改变加拿大社会一样，我们能做的就是适应它！学习地道的英语！ -zhousx18(心想事成); 2012-11-25 (#7920212@0)
Exactly! Back in Portugal, they have to revise their Portuguese dictionary by adding the different ways being used in Brazil, which used to be a colony, but now the largest Portuguese country. -sailor(Mountains&Ocean); 2012-11-25 (#7920504@0)

混淆概念，逻辑错误。那牛津字典不也著名这英语在美国怎么用了吗？这语言融入了殖民国家对殖民国语言的用法，和英语被遥不相及的中文肆意改造，能是一回事吗？还exactly个甚？ -goingconern(GoingConcern); 2012-11-26 (#7920585@0)

不用等未来，就是现在英美本土都有老一代的人以及语言学者整天抱怨英语不pure了，被改造的面目全非了。他们那是老脑筋，岂不知正是这样open的语言才让英语保持着其影响力。语言是被来用的，怎么改变是看用它的人。如今全世界都在用它，当然就世界化了。这是好事。 -mikesmith(老猫); 2012-11-26 (#7920674@0)
天哪，太不敬了你，这是我们的老大啊老大！！！ -alicewy(alice); 2012-11-29 (#7927944@0)

the "modern English" as we know it, is younger than 1000 years old...who can tell what it would become in the next millennium... by far i am not exaggerating... -mikesmith(老猫); 2012-11-26 (#7920680@0)

You are way too serious, not exaggerating. -sythetic(合成); 20:08 (#7921842@0) -wincity(红卫兵); 2012-11-26 (#7921847@0)

老猫厉害！既然学不像，咱就把它改得像我。人要是有这样的志气，哪里还有办不成的事！ -winterstorm(打酱油的); 2012-11-25 (#7920576@0)

Today people say "Long time no see", tomorrow everybody would say "people mountain people sea"... -nowunderstood(明白了 ); 2012-11-26 (#7921283@0)

yup.....moreover, a live language can't be "noble" because there is no noble left in the world.....we, farmers' sons and daughters, give it a long lasting life... -mikesmith(老猫); 2012-11-26 (#7921287@0)

Nobles speak in this way: "For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife.....".? -nowunderstood(明白了 ); 2012-11-26 (#7921339@0)

Interesting... My son doesn't want to spend time correcting his Chinese. He says he is making a great contribution to an old language, and instead of criticizing him, I should be really proud of him... -ordinaryone(ok); 2012-11-26 (#7921823@0)

This forum is getting weirder each day. -nothanks(ciel); 2012-11-27 {387} (#7922337@0)
Why do you think, after two hundred years, people still read Charles Dickens’s novels? Yes, English assimilates nutrients from all other languages, but not in a way you are stating here. English dictionaries adopt hundreds of new entries each year; writers bend English grammar all the time; but you need to fully understand English, in order to know how and when to get more creative.

当然要学，只是抱着什么样的心态去学。不光要模仿的像，如果怎么也像不了，也别折腾死自己。咱把它给发扬光大了。 -mikesmith(老猫); 2012-11-27 (#7922350@0)
