1、題目大意
每年都有一些語言消失,有人認為(wei) 這不重要,因為(wei) 世界上語言變少會(hui) 使得生活會(hui) 更加便利,你是否同意?
2、思路解析
這是一道觀點類大作文,聊的是語言消失的問題。審題時需要注意觀點中的因果關(guan) 係,即“因為(wei) 更少的語言能讓生活更簡單”,所以“語言消失不重要”,我們(men) 可以分析“因”、“果”本身否有問題以及因果邏輯是否有漏洞來進行反駁,下麵,月半鴨和大家一起來看下具體(ti) 觀點。
首先,來看這個(ge) 觀點的合理性。
語言更少確實可能增加生活便利性,比如溝通會(hui) 變得更加容易。原本不同地區的人為(wei) 了溝通需要特地去學習(xi) 一門對方的語言,這個(ge) 過程本身有難度,並且由於(yu) 語言不同,在交流過程中還會(hui) 因為(wei) 翻譯或理解不到位等原因導致雙方產(chan) 生誤解。而在同一種語言體(ti) 係下,這種誤會(hui) 也會(hui) 進一步減少,雙方也更容易理解對方所想表達的內(nei) 容。
然後,來看這個(ge) 觀點不合理之處。是否重要不應該隻考慮生活便利。
一是語言記錄了一個(ge) 民族或國家的曆史。這個(ge) 民族如何誕生、發展並延續至今,以及在曆史上發生過哪些重要事情,先祖有哪些重要的舉(ju) 措或成就等等,都是通過獨有的語言文字記錄下來,並被後人所知曉和借鑒。一旦對應的語言消失,後人可能難以理解甚至知曉這些曆史,這對於(yu) 曆史研究來說是巨大的損失。
二是語言本身是文化體(ti) 係的重要組成部分,是文化傳(chuan) 承、發展、繁榮的重要載體(ti) 。從(cong) 個(ge) 人角度來說,語言能夠讓人產(chan) 生歸屬感和自我身份的認同感。從(cong) 學術研究角度來說,語言存在本身蘊藏了一個(ge) 民族獨有的生活方式和思維模式,通過對不同語言的研究,能夠更清楚地了解不同文化。因此,語言的消失對於(yu) 世界文化多樣性來說,是一種損失。
3、提綱
4、高分範文示例
While a pearl of common wisdom has it that fewer languages existing for communication would bring about the convenience in our daily life, I would argue that the disappearance of those linguistic data is not of insignificance.
One of the reasons why those languages should not be dismissed may lie to the fact that some of the minor-speaking languages have recorded the things happened in the past for a particular ethnic group. Those histories and stories vividly have reflected how our ancestors had struggled with their life against all the hardships and fierce surroundings, and how they sincerely adhered to the final humanities via some of the aforementioned languages. Without the ability of interpreting this linguistic data, we may lose forever the experience and guidelines that could be injected from the former generations, therefore making the same mistakes that occurred once in the historical time when exploring a particular geographic place.
Another source of why those languages ought not to vanish may be due to the cultural identity, or should I say the thought diversity, lying behind which people insist on in some specific ethnic groups. Those thoughts, recorded mostly by those minority languages, though weakened gradually result of the invasion of the stronger civilizations, indeed are the perfect reference in which the whole society can strengthen its improvement by fixing the flaws in the meantime. The loss of words of some particular communities would somewhat discourage the possibilities of the further steps of the society itself.
Notwithstanding the huge convenience brought about when the “babel” time could re-emerge via letting down the barrier of misunderstandings derived from the various languages, this action also gestates more calamities than contributions. Livings in the social communities granted involve the pursuit of efficiency and convenience, but other elements and identities —diversity of lives among cultural groups, customs and traditions established in a particular geographic location that are with human wisdom and sophistication, civilizations fostered by people from harnessing the natural surroundings to fit with their lives, etc.—are also valued seriously, or even more seriously than just having a global and highly efficient living mode. Most of those components and characteristics are conveyed by multiple languages, some of which are just the ones talked about in this article, facing the destiny of being extinct alongside the ignorance of the public. A state of mind must be made that simpler and easier livings are based on the foundation of complexity and on eliminating the immaterial subtleties, but not, adversely, on extinguishing the lights that have been and still are guiding us to the final intelligence.
In conclusion, the loss of the linguistic data has its essence to be concerned about severely, and the convenience, though witnessed alongside the process, should not be the reason we abandon those minority languages.
