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?！県ardy any moment passes without someone…” , 兩個(gè)否定: without 和hardly，意思是“每一時(shí)刻有人……”。

2. fast 前面加the因?yàn)閒ast and successful use 這個(gè)詞組后邊有一個(gè)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(gè)things不能省略，否則引起誤解。

4. differs 改為distinguishes。語言區(qū)分人與動(dòng)物，differ是不及物動(dòng)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(xí)得語言”應(yīng)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(qiáng)調(diào)，應(yīng)用倒裝句，一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)強(qiáng)調(diào)句是在主語前面加助動(dòng)詞 do。

7. combination改為relationships.語言和思維的關(guān)系，不是結(jié)合;語言和思維的關(guān)系是當(dāng)代語言學(xué)研究的重要領(lǐng)域。

8. like 改為as。根據(jù)上下文，要表達(dá)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?！?assume譯為“假設(shè)”或者“想象”的意思。
