提纲:
地球是个有机的生命系统,每时每刻都有生物出生,同时还有生物死亡。人的死亡带不走什么东西,但是有一样东西可以被带走,语言,抑或说是文化。
阐述语言承载了文化,代表了文化。两者共荣共衰
语言消亡的原因是使用的人越来越少了,而造成这一原因的因素有两个,一个是使用者去世,另一个是使用者学习更加通用的语言,而放弃了小语种母语。
政府是否should?假设不保护,推测出结果:人类文化单一,精神生活贫瘠。得出答案:should
How? 政府是主角。双语教育。注意培养下一代对母语以及传统文化的重视。
正文:
Our mother earth is a big organism, every second there are some newborn creatures come to this planet, and some go away. People die, having nothing with them. But there is surely something goes with them, or after them, which is the language they used when they were still breathing.
Culture, indisputably, is the spirit of a nation. It represents the history and the value of this nation. But culture is being viewed at the spiritual level, nothing real. To generate and develop it, we need a carrier which is our language. It's easy to understand why language could represent the culture. Think about the poetry, novels, opera and some other literary works along the river of our country's history, they are written by the very language we use. As long as the language exists, the culture goes.
The lesser-known languages are becoming extinguished because fewer and fewer people use them. There are two reasons that lead to the fact above. First, the users die which we cannot stop. The other one is that they just do not use it any more. It's easy to understand why they would give up their mother tongue and learn some more widely-spoken language. They need to communicate with the rest of the world and their own language cannot afford that function. It's more likely in unindustrialized countries or religions to have people surrender their own languages to learn a more widely-spoken one. Let's take this as an example, Tsing is a farmer with a family to feed, of which more than ten members including 2 old parents who cannot offer any labor and several children before school age. He has no fields to grow enough crops to sell for the money he needs to feed his family. He chooses to get a job in big cities, such as Beijing and Shanghai. But what company would hire a farmer with no skills except in the fields who still holds dialect and has hindrance communicating with others. So what would he do first? Learn Mandarin, and further more, learn English. Roll the camera to 30 years after, maybe his grand children would never know Tsing's dialect, and so it dies.
With the two reasons cleared, of which languages becoming extinguished, should the governments take action to protect the lesser-known languages? Let's assume that we do nothing about the protection. As a result, people voluntarily learn some more convenient languages which offer them more job opportunities and thus a better living condition. After some generations, fewer and fewer people understand the culture which writes down by the language they used to speak, the culture dies eventually. And after, say, 400 years, English become the only existing language on the earth, and the once various culture system become the only mixed culture of global English. Artists have no inspiration because all they can see is the same culture, they have nothing to compare any more, and thus nothing to compose. Our spiritual world becomes more and more unfertilized, all the entertainment left is nothing but eating and drinking, and working for no goals. We earn some money but do not know where to spend them. What life is it? Is there anyone could tolerate that? Now the answer to the question at the beginning of this paragraph is amazingly clear. The governments SHOULD, or we SHOULD, take action to prevent the languages from being extinguished.
But how? It's a question of holding on with generations. The best starting point is education. Parents could be allowed to "betray" their own language for getting a better life for their family, but the education of language for children shouldn't be neglected. In Norway, the government allocates 30 million euro for Sami, helps them for their bilingual education system. It's a hard task and a burden to the government finances, but we have other options, as long as we want a various system of different cultures glittering all over the world.
感慨两句:
第一次写Issue,昨晚花了两小时,结果只写出360字。写完自己看了一遍觉得缺例子,全是大道理,还是说不清那种的。。。
今天下午背完单词再一看,觉得昨晚写了300多字的狗屁!于是搜例子,几乎是重新写了一遍。然后检查错字,大概要有10处。呃,这篇目前自个儿是算满意了,毕竟第一篇。
请好心的童鞋帮忙看两眼,从思路上指导一下,文章的思路全是自己想的,没有参考什么书籍提纲,因为第一次写,想看看自己的真实水平。
ok了~谢谢,寄托是Gter们的好归宿,谢谢各位版主用心的工作~bow~ |
