2、) I get that all the time in Dubai. Here on holiday are you, dear? (Laughter) Come to visit the children? How long are you staying?我知道你们在想什么，你们觉得我迷路了，立刻(lk)就会有人走上台温柔地把我带回我的座位上。(掌声)。我在迪拜总会遇上这种事。“来这里度假的吗，敬爱的?”(笑声)“来探望孩子的吗?这次要待多久呢?Well actually, I hope for a while longer yet. I have been living and tea
3、ching in the Gulf for over 30 years. (Applause) And in that time, I have seen a lot of changes. Now that statistic is quite shocking. And I want to talk to you today about language loss and the globalization of English. I want to tell you about my friend who was teaching English to adults in Abu Dha
4、bi. And one fine day, she decided to take them into the garden to teach them some nature vocabulary. But it was she who ended up learning all the Arabic words for the local plants, as well as their uses - medicinal uses, cosmetics, cooking, herbal. How did those students get all that knowledge? Of c
5、ourse, from their grandparents and even their great-grandparents. Its not necessary to tell you how important it is to be able to communicate across generations.恩，事实上，我盼望能再待久一点。我在波斯湾这边生活和教书已经超过30年了。(掌声)这段时间里，我看到了许多改变。此时此刻这份数据是挺吓人的，而我今日要和你们说的是有关语言的消逝和英语的全球化。我想和你们谈谈我的挚友，她在阿布达比教成人英语。在一个晴朗的日子里，她确定带她的学生到
6、花园去教他们一些大自然的词汇。但最终却变成是她在学习全部当地植物在阿拉伯语中是怎么说的。还有这些(zhxi)植物是如何被用作药材，化装品，烹饪，香草。这些学生是怎么得到这些学问的呢?当然是从他们的祖父母，甚至曾祖父母那里得来的。不须要我来告知你们能够跨代沟通是多么重要。But sadly, today, languages are dying at an unprecedented rate. A language dies every 14 days. Now, at the same time, English is the undisputed global language. Coul
7、d there be a connection? Well I dont know. But I do know that Ive seen a lot of changes. When I first came out to the Gulf, I came to Kuwait in the days when it was still a hardship post. Actually, not that long ago. That is a little bit too early. But nevertheless, I was recruited by the British Co
8、uncil along with about 25 other teachers. And we were the first non-Muslims to teach in the state schools there in Kuwait. We were brought to teach English because the government wanted to modernize the country and empower the citizens through education. And of course, the U.K. benefited from some o
9、f that lovely oil wealth.但缺憾的是，今日许多语言正在以前所未有的速度消逝。每14天就有一种语言消逝，而与此同时，英语却无庸置疑地成为全球性的语言。这其中有关联吗?我不知道。但我知道的是，我见证过很多变更。初次来到海湾地区时，我去了科威特。当时教英文仍旧是个困难的工作。其实，没有那么久啦，这有点太久以前了。总之，我和其他25位教师一起被英国文化协会聘用。我们是第一批非穆斯林的教师，在科威特的国立学校任教。我们被派到那里教英语，是因为当地政府盼望国家可以现代化并透过教育提升公民的水平。当然，英国也能得到些好处，产油国可是很有钱的。Okay. Now this is the
10、 major change that Ive seen - how teaching English has morphed from being a mutually beneficial practice to becoming a massive international business that it is today. No longer just a foreign language on the school curriculum. And no longer the sole domain of mother England. It has become a bandwag
11、on for every English-speaking nation on earth. And why not? After all, the best education - according to the latest World University Rankings - is to be found in the universities of the U.K. and the U.S. So everybody wants to have an English education, naturally. But if youre not a native speaker, y
12、ou have to pass a test.言归正传，我见过最大的变更，就是英语教学的蜕变如何从一个互惠互利的行为变成今日这种大规模的国际产业。英语不再是学校课程里的外语学科，也不再只是英国的专利。英语(教学)已经成为全部英语系国家追逐的潮流。何乐而不为呢?终归，最好的教育来自于最好的大学，而依据最新的世界大学排名，那些名列前茅的都是英国和美国的大学。所以自然每个人都想承受英语教育，但假如你不是以英文为母语，你就要通过考试。Now can it be right to reject a student on linguistic ability alone? Perhaps you have
13、 a computer scientist whos a genius. Would he need the same language as a lawyer, for example? Well, I dont think so. We English teachers reject them all the time. We put a stop sign, and we stop them in their tracks. They cant pursue their dream any longer, till they get English. Now let me put it
14、this way, if I met a monolingual Dutch speaker who had the cure for cancer, would I stop him from entering my British University? I dont think so. But indeed, that is exactly what we do. We English teachers are the gatekeepers. And you have to satisfy us first that your English is good enough. Now i
15、t can be dangerous to give too much power to a narrow segment of society. Maybe the barrier would be too universal.但仅凭语言实力就拒绝学生这样对吗?譬如假如你遇到一位天才计算机科学家，但他会须要有和律师一样的语言实力吗?我不这么认为。但身为英语教师的我们，却总是拒绝他们。我们到处设限，将学生挡在路上，使他们无法再追求自己的幻想，直到他们通过考试。此时此刻容我换一个方式说，假如我遇到了一位只会说荷兰话的人，而这个人能治愈癌症，我会阻挡他进入我的英国大学吗?我想不会。但事实上，我们确
16、实在做这种事。我们这些英语教师就是把关的。你必需先让我们满足，使我们认定你的英文够好。但这可能是危急的。把太多的权力交由这么小的一群人把持，或许会令这种障碍太过普及。Okay. But, I hear you say, what about the research? Its all in English. So the books are in English, the journals are done in English, but that is a self-fulfilling prophecy. It feeds the English requirement. And so it goes on. I ask you, what happened to translation? If you think about the Islamic Golden Age, there was lots
