AFrom Oatie on 2014-02-13 04:05:25Dominant(主流的)languages change quite often. As the countries and areas that speak a language grow and decrease in power, the language becomes either more or less widespread —remember that Latin and French were the most widely used languages in Europe as late as the 19th century.I think English is currently powerful because of America’s c entral position in global affairs. Hopefully, in the future, Esperanto(世界语)will be the accepted second international language!!!From TTanya on 2014-02-26 20:10:28I also have been wondering about the future of English as the world's Lingua Franca (通用语).I was thinking that maybe Chinese would overpower English as the dominant world business language. But it appears that the Chinese government is actively promoting English to their public school students. So maybe, if China becomes the next world power, English will remain the current Lingua Franca under Chinese influence.From Mymunkee on 2014 -03 -06 00:38:03Esperanto is the only language of which there are no ethnic (种族的)ties, and it's a million times easier to learn than English. The idea of making everyone learn “your language” is socially dominating and can only result in dysfunctional(紊乱的)international relations.From Recata on 2014 -03 -20 21:49:44Perhaps the evolution English will face is to become more common, not more diverse.I say this because of broadcast media. For example, in Arabic countries, the dialects have been so distinct that people from various countries can not understand each other. However, with the increasing role of Broadcast Arabic, the language is becoming more unified(统一的). The continued expansion of English as an international business language will probably strengthen its commonality and weakening various dialects. An example is the word for “get in line”. I had never heard the British word “queue” several years ago, but now it is becoming commonplace in America.56.

In 1924 jazz musician and orchestra leader Paul Whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz was serious music.Gershwin agreed to compose something for the concert before he realized he had just a few weeks to do it.And in that short time,he composeda piece for piano and orchestra which he called Rhapsody in Blue.Gershwin himselfplayed the piano at the concert.The audience were thrilled when they heard his music.It made him worldfamous and showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular.In 1928,Gershwin went to Paris.He applied to study composition (作曲)with the wellknown musician Nadia Boulanger,but she rejected him.She was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazzinfluenced style.While there,Gershwin wrote An American in Paris.When it was first performed,critics (评论家)were divided over the music.Some called it happy and full of life,to others it was stilly and boring.But it quickly became popular in Europe and the United States.It still remains one of his most famous works.George Gershwin died in 1937,just days after doctors learned he had braincancer.He was only thirtynine years old.Newspap ers all over the world reported his death on their front pages.People mourned the loss of the man and all the music he might have still written.【语篇解读】本文讲述了George Gershwin 一位伟大的音乐家的一生,对音乐界及世界的影响。
