英语会成为什么样的通用语——从中国的角度作判断

English, What Kind of A Global Language? -- From Chinese Perspective

英语已经成为 ,也很可能会继续是使用最为广泛的世界性语言 ,但它并不是唯一的“全球通用语”。随着一些地区性大国经济文化吸引力的增长 ,会有一批地区性通用语出现 (例如汉语和西班牙语 )。因此 ,还不能认为英语已经或将要“通用”到我们的生活中来 。

English has become undoubtedly an international language. But there is evidence that it is not the single global language. It has some rivals in at least some regions as the economies in those regions are growing at a fast pace. Therefore it is doubtful to claim that English will completely come into our life and become a second language.
