英国发起学外语活动 每人至少会一千个外语词
<p>由英国文化协会、英国工业联合会、英国科学院以及多家大使馆和语言教学机构共同发起的“与未来对话”活动向全体英国人发起号召，希望每个人至少掌握1000个外语单词，以免在未来的国际贸易往来和就业市场中被淘汰。英国文化学会的薇琪•高富女士表示，英国人长久以来都背负着“语言懒汉”的恶名，而会说一门外语在了解另一种文化的过程中起着关键的作用；所以，“我们应该扭转形象，告诉大家我们已经准备好迎接多语言的世界”。组织方表示，之所以把单词量定为1000个是因为掌握这么多单词基本可以进行一些简单的对话，而且这个目标也比较容易实现。该活动负责人表示，如果每个人都能掌握至少1000个外语单词，整个社会态度和经济前景都会得到明显提升，年轻人在面对全球化的挑战时也更加胸有成竹。</p><p><span word="Everyone">Everyone</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="UK">UK</span> <span word="should">should</span> <span word="learn">learn</span> <span word="at">at</span> <span word="least">least</span> 1,000 <span word="words">words</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="another">another</span> <span word="language">language</span>, <span word="urges">urges</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="new">new</span> <span word="campaign">campaign</span>.</p><p><span word="The">The</span> 1,000 <span word="Words">Words</span> <span word="Campaign">Campaign</span> <span word="stems">stems</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="concerns">concerns</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="country">country</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="losing">losing</span> <span word="out">out</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="international">international</span> <span word="trade">trade</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="jobs">jobs</span> <span word="because">because</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="poor">poor</span> <span word="language">language</span> <span word="skills">skills</span>.</p><p><span word="It">It</span> <span word="aims">aims</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="confront">confront</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="view">view</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="only">only</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="brightest">brightest</span> <span word="can">can</span> <span word="learn">learn</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="language">language</span>.</p>
