English is Widely Used

英语被广泛应用

More than 6,000 languages are spoken in the world today. Many of these languages are spoken by small groups of people. More than 200 languages are spoken by one million or more people. Which language is spoken by the largest number of people in the world? Of course, the answer is Chinese. But which language is the most widely spoken in the world? The answer is English.

在今天，世界上已经有超过6000种语言了。其中有不少语言仅仅只被一小部分人使用。使用人数在100万以上的有200多种语言。哪一种语言的使用人数最多？答案当然是中文。但是人们使用最广泛的语言是什么呢，答案是英语。

English is spoken by more than 400 million people as their first language. It is spoken by most people in the USA, Great Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. But it is also used very widely as a foreign language in many other countries of the world.

超过400万的人把英语作为他们的母语。在美国、英国、加拿大、澳大利亚和新西兰，大部分人都说英语。但英语也作为一种外语在世界上许多其他国家被广泛使用。

Look at the back of your watch. You many see the English words “Made in China”. Look at something else, for example, a TV set. Again you may find the English words “Made in China”, “Made in Japan”, or even “Made in Germany”.

注意看你的手表的背面。你许多看到英文的“中国制造”。看别的东西,如电视机。你又可以发现英语单词“中国制造”、“日本制造”,甚至“德国制造”。

English is the first language in none of these countries. Why are English words written on these things? It is because in the modern world, English is widely used for business between different countries. When a German buy something from a Japanese, or an Indian sells something to a Frenchman, they often use English. Most business letters around the world are written in English. Half the world’s telephone calls are made in English. Three quarters of the world books and newspapers are written in English. More than three quarters of the information on the Internet is in English too!

英语在这些国家并不是母语。为什么这些国家制造的东西上面是英语单词?这是因为在现代世界中,英语被广泛地运用于国家之间的商业事务。当一个德国人从一个日本人买东西,或一个印度人把东西卖给一个法国人时,他们经常使用英语。大部分国际间的商业信件都是用英文写的。世界上一半的电话是用英语打的。世界上有四分之三书籍和报纸是用英语写的。超过四分之三的因特网上的信息也是英文呈现的。

If you travel in India, France, Germany, or almost any other country in the world, you will still be able to use English. It is used by travelers and business people all over the world. It is one of the world’s most important languages as it is so widely used. That is why more and more people in China are interested in learning English.

如果你到印度旅游、法国、德国、或世界上其他任何国家,你将仍然需要能使用英语。使用它的旅游者和商人世界各地。它是世界上最重要的语言之一，所以它是如此广泛地使用。这就是为什么中国有越来越多的人对学英语有兴趣。
