　　由于歷史、政治和經(jīng)濟(jì)上的原因，全世界講英語(yǔ)、用英語(yǔ)的人為數(shù)最多。但是英語(yǔ)之所以能在全球流行，除了上述原因之外，也和英語(yǔ)自身的一些特性和特點(diǎn)不無(wú)相關(guān)。其中最重要的一點(diǎn)就是英語(yǔ)特別容易接受和適應(yīng)—英語(yǔ)中的詞匯吸收了全世界幾乎所有主要語(yǔ)言的材料。(113字)

　　難點(diǎn)注釋?zhuān)?/P>

　　1)流行popularity

　　2)自身特性和特點(diǎn)qualities and characteristics in itself

　　3)不無(wú)相關(guān)have to do with

　　4)容易接受和適應(yīng)receptive and adaptable

　　5)吸收take into

　　The English language is spoken or read by the largest number of people in the world for historical，political，and economic reasons. But it may also be true that the popularity of English language has much to do with some qualities and characteristics in itself. First and most important is its extraordinarily receptivity and adaptability-it has taken materials into its own vocabulary from almost all major languages in the world.

　　二、

　　多年來(lái)，家長(zhǎng)和老師都曾得到過(guò)這樣一種信息：盡量利用任何機(jī)會(huì)表?yè)P(yáng)孩子，對(duì)他們所干的任何事情都要說(shuō)好—據(jù)說(shuō)這樣做有助于提高孩子的自尊。但是近年來(lái)許多教育家和兒童心理學(xué)家正在得出一種完全相反的結(jié)論，他們認(rèn)為對(duì)孩子往往少一些贊揚(yáng)為好。(113字)

　　難點(diǎn)注釋?zhuān)?/P>

　　1)得到信息get the message

　　2)盡量利用任何at almost any opportunity

　　3)自尊self-esteem

　　4)兒童心理學(xué)家child psychologist

　　5)得出完全相反的結(jié)論drawing a completely different conclusion

　　For years，parents and teachers got the message that children should be praised at almost any opportunity，that saying“good job”for everything they do，as they believe，helps raise their self-esteem. But many educators and child psychologists are drawing a completely different conclusion：less praise is often better for their children.
