＃1。英語 - 這裏沒有驚喜
#1. English - No Surprises Here Folks
英語無處不在：它是世界上最廣泛的語言。旅行到世界上幾乎任何一個國家，你會發現英語。事(shì)實上，英語可能(néng)習慣讓你在那裏; 因爲英語是天空的語言。所有飛行員都(dōu)需要使用英語（和标準航空術語）來識别自己。
English is everywhere: It is the most widespread language in the world. Travel to virtually any country in the world and you will find English. In fact, English was probably used to get you there; as English is the language of the skies. All pilots are required to identify themselves using English (and standard aviation phraseology).
英語最初與大英帝國共同傳播，在全球建立了英語精英。英語的影響仍然存在，由美國這樣的英語國家的技術和文化進步重新實施。英語仍然是商業和高等教育的語言，世界各地的主要出版物以英文寫成(chéng)。英語也是互聯網上最大的語言。我們認爲。它可能(néng)是貓咪。
English initially spread with the British Empire, establishing an English-speaking elite around the globe. The influence of the English language has remained, re-enforced by the technological and cultural advances of English-speaking countries like the United States of America. English remains the language of business and higher education, with leading publications around the world written in English. English is also the biggest language on the internet. We think. It could be cat memes.
有趣的是，沒有官方的中央英語管理機構。然而，非官方地，有些人認爲牛津英語詞典是一個權威。标準化的缺乏使得當地文化與英語之間産生了非常有趣的相互作用，從而産生了新加坡語（Singhan）這樣的方言。同一個詞可以有非常不同的含義，即使是密切相關的“方言”。拿橡膠字。在英國，這是一件文具。在美國，橡膠具有更有趣的用途。
Interestingly, there is no official central English language governing body. Unofficially however, some people consider the Oxford English Dictionary to be an authority. The lack of standardisation has allowed a very interesting interplay between local cultures and the English language, giving rise to dialects like Singlish (Singaporean English). The same word can have very different meanings, even in closely related ‘dialects’. Take the word rubber. In the United Kingdom, it is an item of stationery. In the US a rubber has more entertaining uses.

＃2。德語 - 63個字母和數字...
#2. German - 63 letters and counting…
德語通常被(bèi)列爲世界第十大語言。大多數德語的母語人士在德國，這是一個普遍的語言其實是不尋常的。例如，美國的英語母語人數大約是英國的四倍。如果我們以母語爲母語，德語實際上是歐盟最大的語言。
German is usually ranked as the 10th largest language in the world. Most native speakers of German are in Germany, which is actually unusual for a popular language. For example the USA has roughly four times as many English native speakers as the United Kingdom. If we were going by native speakers, German would in fact be the largest language in the EU.
德語以“複合詞”而聞名，偶爾出現苛刻，可怕的發音。一個Krankenwagen不健全，相當的救護車友好(hǎo)。複合允許長期而且無可否認地有些利基，如Rechtsschutzversicherungsgesellschaften（保險公司提供法律保護）。
German is famous for “compound words” and occasionally harsh, terrifying pronunciations. A Krankenwagen doesn’t sound quite as friendly as an ambulance. Compounding allows long, and admittedly somewhat niche, words like Rechtsschutzversicherungsgesellschaften (insurance companies providing legal protection).
也就(jiù)是說，德國有一些特别有用的話。我們都(dōu)知道(dào)一個Backpfeifengesicht - 一個需要一個拳頭的臉龐。我們都(dōu)感覺到了Schadenfreude - 來自另一個人的不幸的快樂。承認它 我們知道(dào)你這樣做
That said, there are some particularly useful German words. We all know a Backpfeifengesicht – a face badly in need of a fist. We all feel Schadenfreude – pleasure derived from another person’s misfortune. Admit it. We know you do.

＃3。法語 - 不要與快樂混合業務
#3. French - Don’t Mix Business with Pleasure
法語聽起(qǐ)來更浪漫嗎？經典的“Voulez-vous coucher avec moi？”嘗試用德語說。或者說是英文。不一樣的
What doesn’t sound more romantic in French? The classic “Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?” Try saying that in German. Or English for that matter. Not quite the same.
法語幾乎與英語一樣廣泛，在西撒哈拉以南非洲地區有很大的用途。法語也影響了英語，30-50％的英語單詞被(bèi)認爲具有法語起(qǐ)源。
French is almost as widely spoken as English, with significant usage in Western and Sub-Saharan Africa. French has also influenced the English language, with 30-50% of English words believed to have French origins.
除了浪漫之外，法國還有許多商業應用。法語經典被(bèi)認爲是外交語言。它是許多國際組織的正式工作語言，如聯合國或歐洲人權法院。了解任何言論的文化意義非常重要。
Romance aside, French has many business applications. Classically, French is considered the language of diplomacy. It is an official working language of many international organisations, such as the United Nations or the European Court of Human Rights. It is very important to understand the cultural significance of any remarks.
法語也是國際重量和度量局的工作語言。這是負責維護國際統一世界時間常規（UTC）或國際原型千克等關鍵措施的組織。沒有了，我們將(jiāng)無法維持世界，因爲我們知道(dào)。
French is also the working language of the International Bureau of Weights and Measures. This is the organisation responsible for maintaining key measures such as the International Co-Ordinated Universal Time Constant (UTC) or the International Prototype Kilogram. Without this we would not be able to sustain the world as we know it.

＃4。意大利語 - “你沒有娛樂嗎？”
#4. Italian - “Are you not entertained?”
當你想到意大利時，你可能(néng)會想到古羅馬，角鬥士和塞薩爾。或者也許你會想到米開朗基羅的大衛，或達芬奇的蒙娜麗莎。因此，你會認爲意大利和意大利語已經存在了幾個世紀。你會錯的
When you think of Italy, you might think of Ancient Rome, Gladiators and Cesar. Or perhaps you think of Michelangelo’s David, or Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. Therefore, you would think that Italy and the Italian language have been around for centuries. And you would be wrong.
技術上意大利共和國是統一的，大約150年前的語言标準化。一開始，隻有約2％的人口可以使用标準化的意大利語言，大多數人口是20種當地區域語言之一。
Technically the Republic of Italy was unified and the language standardised around 150 years ago. At the start, only around 2% of the population could speak the standardised Italian language, with most people speaking one of the 20 local regional languages.
今天，大約90％的人口使用标準化語言，少數人隻使用區域語言。然而，區域語言仍然非常強大，那不勒斯和托斯卡納是最大的。标準意大利語隻有21個字母在字母表中缺少J，K，W，X和Y.任何含有這些字母的意大利語通常是來自其他語言的貸款單詞。
Today, around 90% of the population use the standardised language, with a minority speaking only a regional language. The regional languages however are still very strong, with Neapolitan and Tuscan being among largest. The standardised Italian language only has 21 letters in its alphabet – missing J, K, W, X and Y. Any “Italian” words containing these letters are usually loan words from other languages.

＃5。西班牙語 - 一半的世界是不夠的
#5. Spanish - Half the world is not enough…
西班牙語是一種受阿拉伯語影響的印歐語言，約8％的西班牙語字是阿拉伯語。西班牙語普遍被(bèi)列爲世界第二大語言（以母語爲母語）。它基本上是西半球最常見的語言。
Spanish is an Indo-European Language which has been heavily influenced by Arabic, with around 8% of Spanish words being Arabic in origin. Spanish is commonly listed as the second-largest language in the world (by number of native speakers) after Mandarin. It’s basically the most common language in the Western Hemisphere of the Earth.
大多數西班牙語人士在西班牙以外發現，墨西哥是最大的西班牙語國家。西班牙語是南美大多數國家的通用語言，如果不是官方語言。
Most Spanish speakers are found outside Spain, with Mexico being the largest Spanish-speaking country. Spanish is the lingua franca, if not the official language, of most countries in South America.
西班牙語預計將(jiāng)在2020年左右成(chéng)爲美國的第二語言。有趣的是，英國文化協會已將(jiāng)西班牙語列爲英國未來最重要的語言。然而，西班牙語在歐盟排名前五的最大語言名單中排名第五。
Spanish is projected to become the second language of the United States of America by around 2020. Interestingly, the British Council have listed Spanish as the most important language in the UK’s future. Spanish is however, only 5th on our list of Top 5 Biggest Languages in the EU.
