Englishisbasically aspring boardtowards theirlifetime achievements.3.Most fundamentalis theprofound relationship between language and culturethat liesat theheart of society and one thatwe overlookat ourperil.(Paragraph3)Paraphrase:There isa basicrelationshipbetweenlanguage andculture whichisanessential partofsocietyandohat itis dangerousif weignore.Translation:最根本的是语言与文化之间的深远关系，它存在于社会的中心，忽视它必然会造成危险。 4Different culturesare notsimply groupsofpeoplewho labelthe worlddifferently;languages giveus themeans toshape ourviews of the worldand languages are different from oneanother.We expresswhat wesee andfeel throughlanguage,and becauselanguagesareso clearlyculture-related,4often wefind thatwhat wecan sayin one language cannotbe expressedat allin another.The Englishword“homesickness”translates intoItalian as“nostalgia,”but Englishhas hadto borrowthat6same wordto describea differentstate ofmind,something thatis notquite homesicknessand involvesa kindof longing.Homesickness andnostalgia puttogether arealmost,but notquite,the Portuguese“saudade,”an untranslatableword thatdescribes astate ofmind thatis notdespair,angst(English borrowedthat fromGerman),sadness orregret,but hoverssomewhere inand aroundall thosewords.5The earlyBible translatorshit theproblem ofuntranslatability head-on.How doyou translatethe imageoftheLamb ofGod fora cultureinwhichsheep donot exist?What exactlywas thefruit thatEve11picked in the Gardenof Eden?What wasthe creaturethat swallowedJonah,given thatwhales are not givento swimmingin warm,southern seas?5Faced withunsurmountable linguisticproblems,translators negotiatedthe boundariesbetween languagesand cameup witha promise.66Compromising issomething thatspeakers ofmore thanone languageunderstand.When thereare nowords inanother languagefor whatyou wantto say,you make adjustments andtry to approximate.7English andWelsh speakersmakeadjustmentsregarding thecolor spectrumin thegrey/green/blue/brown range,since Englishhas fourwords andWelsh hasthree.And evenwhere wordsdo exist,promises stillneed to be made.The word“democracy”means pletelydifferent thingsin differentcontexts,and evena wordlike“bread”which referstoastaple fooditem madeof flourmeans totallydifferent thingsto differentpeople.The flat7breads ofCentral Asiaarealong wayaway fromMothers Pridewhite slicedtoasties,yet theword“bread”has toserve forboth.7Inevitably,the spreadof Englishmeans thatmillions ofpeople areadding another language totheir ownand arelearning howto negotiatecultural andlinguistic differences.This isanessentialskill intodays hybridworld,particularly nowwhen theneed forinternational understandinghas rarelybeen soimportant.But evenas morepeople beemultilingual,so nativeEnglish speakersare losingout,for theyare beingever moremonolingual,and henceincreasingly unawareofthedifferences betweencultures thatlanguages reveal.Communicating inanother languageinvolves notonly linguisticskills,but theability tothink differently,to enterinto anothercultures mentalityand shapelanguage aordingly.8Millions ofpeople arediscovering howto bridgecultures,while theEnglish-speaking worldbees evermore placentand cutsdown onforeign languagelearning programsin themistaken beliefthat itis enoughto knowEnglish Questions:1.Supply specificexamples toprove thatlanguageandculture areclosely relatedto(but delicatelydifferentfrom)each other.(Paragraph4)a dropintheocean沧海一粟to laughones headoff笑掉大牙to shedcrocodile tears猫哭老鼠8to
