（掌声） 我在迪拜总会遇上这种事 “来这里度假的吗，亲爱的？” （笑声）“来探望孩子的吗？这次要待多久呢？恩，事实上，我希望能再待久一点我在波斯湾这边生活和教书已经超过 30 年了 （掌声）这段时间里，我看到了很多变化现在这份数据是挺吓人的，而我今天要和你们说的是有关语言的消失和英语的全球化我想和你们谈谈我的朋友，她在阿布达比教成人英语在一个晴朗的日子里，她决定带她的学生到花园去教他们一些大自然的词汇但最后却变成是她在学习所有当地植物在阿拉伯语中是怎么说的还有这些植物是如何被用作药材，化妆品，烹饪，香草这些学生是怎么得到这些知识的呢？当然是从他们的祖父母，甚至曾祖父母那里得来的不需要我来告诉你们能够跨代沟通是多么重要but sadly, today, languages are dying at an unprecedented rate. a language dies every 14 days. now, at the same time, english is the undisputed global language. could there be a connection well i dont know. but i do know that ive seen a lot of changes. when i first came out to the gulf, i came to kuwait in the days when it was still a hardship post. actually,not that long ago. that is a little bit too early. but nevertheless, i was recruited by the british council along with about 25other teachers. and we were the first non-muslims to teach in the state schools there in kuwait. we were brought to teach english because the government wanted to modernize the country and empower the citizens through education. and of course, the benefited from some of that lovely oil wealth. 但遗憾的是，今天很多语言正在以前所未有的速度消失。

每 14 天就有一种语言消失，而与此同时，英语却无庸置疑地成为全球性的语言这其中有关联吗？我不知道但我知道的是，我见证过许多改变初次来到海湾地区时，我去了科威特当时教英文仍然是个困难的工作其实，没有那么久啦，这有点太久以前了总之，我和其他 25 位老师一起被英国文化协会聘用我们是第一批非穆斯林的老师，在科威特的国立学校任教我们被派到那里教英语，是因为当地政府希望国家可以现代化并透过教育提升公民的水平当然，英国也能得到些好处，产油国可是很有钱的okay. now this is the major change that ive seen -- how teaching english has morphed from being a mutuallyenglish-speaking nation on earth. and why not after all, the best education -- according to the latest world university rankings -- is to be found in the universities of the and the so everybody wants to have an english education, naturally. but if youre not a native speaker, you have to pass a test.言归正传，我见过最大的改变，就是英语教学的蜕变如何从一个互惠互利的行为变成今天这种大规模的国际产业。

英语不再是学校课程里的外语学科，也不再只是英国的专利英语（教学）已经成为所有英语系国家追逐的潮流何乐而不为呢？毕竟，。
