Words from other languages Chinese Japanese French Spanish German . 备课资料 Soon There Will Be No Such Thing As “Wrong” English In this article：Senior Indian journalist Gautaman Bhaskaran says that English is so flexible that one day there will be too many

36、 variations around the world. English is a victim of its own success.The other day The Times in London displayed a cartoon showing an excited schoolboy flaunting his test scores：“I done good in English.”Days later，editors of the Oxford Dictionary of English rued the spread of what they termed “green

37、grocers English”.Grammar and syntax，they regretted，were going out of fashion. Others in Englandin the Oxford University Press，the BBC and so onsaid the incorrect use of cliches were marring the smooth flow of a great language whose ability to imbibe and absorb has been one important reason for its s

38、uccess. This success also stems from the languages unique position of being the only one spoken in most parts of the world.Really，English has no boundaries.Even in countries such as Japan and China， which were not colonized by Britain，English is making a determined “conquest”. Unfortunately， such a

39、conquest is not always welcome because a language sometimes doubles as a political weapon.At some point it ceases to be just a means of communication and English is a classic example of this. It has always led a troubled life.It has been disliked，even hated，largely because the people who originally

40、spoke English conquered，colonized and terrorized half the world，or just about.The animosity to the language continues，at least in some places. The bitterness that the French，for instance，have for English is a good example of a language being giving a quasi-political role in society. Fortunately，this

41、 aversion does not run as it did some years ago，and there is a growing realization that English is the lingua franca.China and Japan，among a host of other nations， have been making serious efforts to promote the language. Some months ago there was a hue and cry in Singapore over the spread of “terri

42、ble English” which the authorities called “Singlish”.“Down with it!” they said，and urged Singaporeans to learn correct English，the phenomenal flexibility of which has often made things difficult for those who have to use it every day. Today even university graduates find it hard to pen a couple of c

43、orrect sentences in it.More horrifying is that many teachers and university vice-chancellors speak and write poor and ungrammatical English.Often，they are found to be out of touch with what is called “usage” and，as we all know，this is one of the pillars the language rests on. Yet，despite the mess th

44、at English is in India，the nation hasmore than two centuries after Samuel Johnson wrote his English dictionarybecome the hottest destination for top lexicographers. The new 10th revised edition of the Oxford Concise English Dictionary includes hundreds of Indian words.Leading the list of 600 Indian

45、English entries are “Hindutva” （Hindu identity） ， “dada” （older brother） ， “panchayat” （local administration） ， “chai” （tea ） ， “pani” （water） ， “puri” （a dish made of wheat） and “dosa” （rice pancake）.In fact，Indian words from 20 per cent of entries and rank as the third-largest component after Amer

46、ican and Australian English segments.Other former British colonies such as New Zealand，South Africa and the Caribbean islands follow the Indian English collection of words. English，despite its hiccups，is endearing to the common Indian man or woman.About 150 years after Lord Macaulay introduced the l

47、anguage in India to create “babus” （clerks） for the British bureaucracy，70 million Indians speak English， a number that is higher than that in Britain. However，there is a sneaking fear among Puritans that with this kind of spread，English may stop being English.While the French have fanatically prese

48、rved the purity of their language，the English have liberally allowed other influences to affect their lingo.So，what is seen as its strengththe fact that people all over the world understand itcan be an undermining obstacle. There might be a serious problem if every state or continent were to have it

49、s own version of English.As one writer said：“There is a risk in relentless atomization.” With too many variations of the language，a time may come when one group of English-speaking people may not be able to understand another.This is happening.Hear the way Singaporeans speak English.Listen to the Australians pronouncing “e”；it sounds like “a”. A few of the films made lately by British directors Ken Loach and Mike Leigh had to have subtitles in English.Accents in the north of Britain can be hard for people in the south to u
