Many of the world’s lesser-known languages are being lost as fewer and fewer people speak them. The government of countries in which these languages are spoken should act to prevent such languages from becoming extinct.

1.从世界范围来看，单调的文化氛围是无趣的。Cultural diversity comes from language diversity, religious diversity, history diversity. 在全球化愈演愈烈的今天，只有保持住自己的文化才能对世界文化有所贡献，当所有东西都趋向同一，能带来的不是人类精神多彩的春天而是沉默的冬季。

2.语言记载着一个国家地区或者民族的历史，语言是我们与the earlier generation 之间最直接的纽带。语言的失去将会造成学术上很多价值的流失。比如说考古学，语源学，史学，人类学（语言之间的联系至今仍只是粗浅地被理解，但比如人类早期的migration，其研究方法就是看语言是怎么发展和传播的）；不仅仅是这些，之前由这些语言写成的rhythm poets stories也会由于该语言的失传而失落，这些艺术价值的失落也是人类精神宝库的损失。

3.语言的灭绝造成的不仅是学术价值的流失，还有对indigenous people而言的精神价值的流失，oral histories，written histories 在一起刻画出了我们的世界观（worldview），共同的语言也使我们最容易找到与集体的联系。这些因素在一起，让我们有了cultural identity和 a sense of security and belonging.


The reason why the rainbow is so gracious is that it does not resist any kind of color, the reason why our lives are so beautiful is that they do not resist diversity. I agree with the statement above that when a language is dying out, the country's
government should take responsibilities to preserve them, as languages have great significance from macroscopic views to microscopic ones, and world's need for diversity.

Macroscopically, in this age of increasingly globalization, our world have a tend to be unified.To be all the same is boring. When we stand in front of a piece of lenon, before we start painting, the empty, unified background will definitely be outshined by the colorful work we then
provide, so is the lingual world, a important piece of culture world as it is.
To prevent the lesser-known languages from extinction is the same as to protect the colors we use to paint in the lingual world.

What's more? The languages also contribute great significance in both social and intellectual level. It is so vital to subjects such as archeology, etymology, history and other associated fields. For example, the study of languages gives us keys to unlock the door of the detail of our trace on earth as a spice. The anthropologists and historians emptying their endeavor into the pursuit of knowing how our human race scattered and developed all around the world, will shame dead on the loss thousands of languages in that the method they are using is to arrange a language family tree and observe how they were connected with each other.

As another aspect of the intellectual level, the value in art is also lost hand in hand with languages' extinction. We all know that art is the gift from god and the treasure for human race as an entity. There are kinds of art root on language, for instance, the poets, the songs, the rhythms and the stories, whose carrier is the original language in which they were composed. It is surely that the original beauty of poets and songs will be buried together with the language in the same tomb. For example we can imagine that when Chinese extincts, where could the rhythmic grace of poets and songs go?


Finally and microscopically, the oral and written history is so critical for the indigenous people, therefore the language is of the same significance. The language is the most immediate connection between us and our ancestors, it help us to identify the people from our groups and create a sense of belonging and security. In other words, the language, which represent the history and memories of the past, creates our cultural identities and helps us to understand who we are.
In a starry night, when you laid down on the grassland and shocked by the stars' perpetuality, you cannot help thinking that you are so tiny when confronting the infinite time, and also cannot help thinking about who we are exactly apart from the dressing, occupations, genders. The answer is we are just parents to our children, kids to our parents, and then the same question goes backwards along generations. Suddenly and finally we find that knowing what our ancestors do, what do they like and things such as what they usually talk about is so sweet and lucky, then you learn to cherish the native language you speak, the original history you belong to.

In sum, as the significance of language in representing history and human identity is so grand, the importance for intellectual and social function is so irreplaceable and the precious meaning in keeping the world colorful, we should never let the languages go nowhere to be found, and therefore the government on behalf of its people, should be the one who take actions.

The reason why the rainbow is so gracious is that it does not resist any kind of colors, the reason why our lives are so beautiful is that they do not resist diversity. I agree with the statement above that when a language is dying out, the country's government should take responsibilities to preserve them, as languages have great significance from macroscopic views to microscopic ones, and world's need for diversity.(这个也属于为宏观范畴啊 没必要单列出来)

Macroscopically, in this age of increasingly globalization, our world have a tend（错误） to be unified. To be all the same is boring. When we stand in front of a piece of lenon（？）, before we start painting, the empty, unified background will definitely be outshined by the colorful work we then provide, so is the lingual world, a important piece of culture world as it is. To prevent the lesser-known languages from extinction is the same as to protect the colors we use to paint in the lingual world.

For example, the study of languages gives us keys to unlock the door of the detail of our trace on earth as a spice（没看懂）. The anthropologists and historians emptying(没见过这个用法 doing) their endeavor into the pursuit of knowing how our human race scattered and developed all around the world, will shame dead on the loss thousands of languages in that the method they are using is to arrange a language family tree and observe how they were connected with each other.（非常佩服您的长句功力，我从来写不了这么长，不过我觉得前面应为The anthropologists and historians doing their endeavor to pursuit development and scattering of our human trace all around the world will shame dead on the loss of thousands of languages in that the method they are using is arrange a language family tree and observe how they were connected with each other.）

谢谢对我文章的批改，我已经用WORD修改过可能是我不太认真，还有词不达意的问题是WORD解决不了的 给您带来不便，我深感抱歉。
对于你的文章，首先我认为将问题分为宏观和微观有点欠妥，因为讨论语言的消亡问题怎么说都是宏观问题，不管是您在微观环节谈的与祖先的关系和团体定位问题，其次我的水平有限，您的很多用法我都没见过，所以拍砖时可能会有错误，您见谅。最后谈我对本文的思路，您的主要是同意这ISSUE观点，我想还应加入对于政府保护的思考，认为这并不是政府的主要责任，而是全社会的共同责任。语言文化传承不只有是政府推动，还应有民众支持，而且语言也应有存在优胜劣汰，比如古汉语的也就变为现在汉语，语言也在进步啊 还有您提出的词语重复问题，我觉得有必要，在我们的阅读中很多文章都有同一个意思用两个词表达的，这个能起到完善意思的作用，不管是形容词副词的叠加还是动词的重复，是有用的。

这个这个，已经用WORD改过就好，我误解成态度不好。我的错，misunderstanding, sorry

复用问题，你说的确实对，毕竟两个词意思有重叠的部分也有互补的部分，用两个可能更完整。很有启发，多谢

至于emptying 那个用法……我蛮喜欢用的，回想了一下，是从作文大讲堂里面P463 F.Roosevelt的名言里雪来的，If a man empties his purse into his head,   empty one's XX into the pursuit of XX,我自己瞎编的句型……因为比较喜欢“倾尽全力”听起来比较有感觉的方式，所以经常用。话说回来，你给我改的那句还真是相当精炼……我没看到之前的括号，然后觉得这句话好像太好了点不像我写的……最后发现真不是我写的………………还是多谢多谢，大家互拍互助就是。

P.S.不要再用“您”了，我怕……
