We use language every day. We live in a world of words. Hardly any

moment passes with someone talking, writing or reading. Indeed, __1__

languages is most essential to mankind. Our lives increasingly depend

on fast and successful use of language. Strangely enough, we know __2__

more about things around us than on ourselves. For example, language __3__

is species specific, that is, it is language that differs human from __4__

animals. However, we do not know yet how exactly we inquire language __5__

and how it is possible for us to perceive through language; nor we __6__

understand precisely the combinations between language and thought, __7__

language and logic, or language and culture; still less, how and when

language started. One reason for this inadequate knowledge of language

is that we, like language users, take too many things for granted. __8__

Language comes to every normal person so naturally that a few __9__

of us stop to question what language is, much less do we feel the

necessity to study it. Language is far more complex than most people

have probably imagined and the necessity to study it is far greater than

some people may have assured. Linguistic is a branch of science which __10__

takes language as its object of investigation.

參考答案：

1. with 改為 without。”hardy any moment passes without someone…” , 兩個否定: without 和hardly，意思是“每一時刻有人……”。

2. fast 前面加the因為fast and successful use 這個詞組后邊有一個前置詞短語 of language 修飾use，所以被修飾的詞前面加定冠詞。

3. than on ourselves 改為than things on ourselves。在這里比較的是兩件事：things around us and things on ourselves(我們周圍的事物和我們自身的東西)。第二個things不能省略，否則引起誤解。

4. differs 改為distinguishes。語言區分人與動物，differ是不及物動詞，后面不能帶賓語，只能用介詞，如：Man differs from animals in that man possesses language。

5. inquire改為acquire“習得語言”應該是acquire language，名詞短語是language acquisition。 Inquire 是“詢問”的意思。

6. we前面加上 do 副詞nor放在句首表示強調，應用倒裝句，一般現在時強調句是在主語前面加助動詞 do。

7. combination改為relationships.語言和思維的關系，不是結合;語言和思維的關系是當代語言學研究的重要領域。

8. like 改為as。根據上下文，要表達的意思是“作為語言的使用者”，不是“像語言的使用者”。

9. a 去掉 這里是否定的意思：“我們沒有多少人……”而不是“我們一些人.….”。

10. assured 改為 assumed. 這句的后半部分意思是“研究語言的必要性比我們想象的要大得多”。Assure譯為“確保”;assume譯為“假設”或者“想象”的意思。
