6、960s.There is a high level of agreement that the following questions (1) _have possessed the most attention of researchers in this area: (2) _l Is it possible to acquire an additional language in thesame sense one acquires a first language? (3) _l What is the explanation for the fact adults have (4)
7、 _more difficulty in acquiring additional languages than children have?l What motivates people to acquire additional language?l What is the role of the language teaching in the (5) _acquisition of additional languages?l What social-cultural factors, if any, are relevant in studying thelearning of ad

15、lating has always been whether to translate literally or freely. The argument has been going since at least the first (1) _century B.C. Up to the beginning of the 19th century, many writersfavoured certain kind of “free translation: the spirit, not the letter; the (2) _sense not the word; the messag

19、om a very early age, perhaps the age of five or six, I knewthat when I grew I should be a writer.

20、own and write books. 3_I was the child of three, but there was a gap of five years 4_on either side, and I barely saw my father before I was eight. For this and other reasons I was somewhat lonely, and I soon developed disagreeing mannerisms which made me unpopular throughout my 5_schooldays. I had
21、the lonely childs habit of making up stories andholding conversations with imaginative persons, and I think from 6_the very start my literal ambitions were mixed up with the feeling of 7_being isolated and undervalued. I knew that I had a facility with words and a power of facing in unpleasant facts
22、, and I felt that this created 8_a sort of private world which I could get my own back for my failure 9_in everyday life. Therefore, the volume of serious i.e. seriously 10_intended writing which I produced all through my childhood and boyhood would not amount to half a dozen pages. I wrote my first

24、2_There may or may not be appropriate to talk about primitive3_peoples or cultures, but that is another matter.

25、said, can speak aboutsnow with further more precision and subtlety than we can in 5_English, but this is not because the Eskimo language (one of those sometimes miscalled primitive) is inherently more precise and subtle than English. This example does not e to light a defect 6_in English, a show of
26、unexpected primitiveness. The position issimply and obviously that the Eskimos and the English live in similar7_ environments. The English language will be just as rich in terms 8_for different kinds of snow, presumably, if the environments in whichEnglishwas habitually used made such distinction as
27、 important. 9_ Similarly, we have no reason to doubt that the Eskimo language could be as precise and subtle on the subject of motor manufacture or cricket if these topics formed the part of the Eskimos life. 10_ 2009The previous section has shown how quickly a rhyme passesfrom one school child to t

At the time the United States _4_split off from Britain, for example, there were proposals thatindependence should be linguistically
33、accepted by the use of a _5_different language from those of Britain. There was even one _6_ proposal that Americans should adopt Hebrew. Others favouredthe adoption of Greek, though, as one man put it, things wouldcertainly be simpler for Americans if they stuck on to English _7_ and made the Briti
