评分这种书如果读不了原文那翻译一定要非常有功力才行,很可惜本书翻译确实很差,很简单的例子,回鹘(维吾尔)译者都译不出来,还要放个英文在上面,是在太不堪了。

评分所谓“语言帝国”,无非指历史上反复上演的一幕:语言的扩散和使用范围,常常随着使用该语言的那个霸权的盛衰而起伏不定。一种语言能成为广阔空间里不同人群沟通时所使用的共通语,这必然意味着某种霸权秩序的存在,乃至建立起一种文化圈;而共通语地位的丧失和使用范围...

An unusual and authoritative 'natural history of languages' that narrates the ways in which one language has superseded or outlasted another at different times in history. The story of the world in the last five thousand years is above all the story of its languages. Some shared language is what binds any community together, and makes possible both the living of a common history and the telling of it. Yet the history of the world's great languages has rarely been examined. 'Empires of the Word' is the first to bring together the tales in all their glorious variety: the amazing innovations -- in education, culture and diplomacy -- devised by speakers in the Middle East; the uncanny resilience of Chinese throughout twenty centuries of invasions; the progress of Sanskrit from north India to Java and Japan; the struggle that gave birth to the languages of modern Europe; and the global spread of English. Besides these epic achievements, language failures are equally fascinating: why did Germany get left behind? Why did Egyptian, which had survived foreign takeovers for three millennia, succumb to Mohammed's Arabic? Why is Dutch unknown in modern Indonesia, given that the Netherlands had ruled the East Indies for as long as the British ruled India? As this book engagingly reveals, the language history of the world shows eloquently the real characters of peoples; it also shows that the language of the future will, like the languages of the past, be full of surprises.
很清晰 想了解的基本都讲到了
评分能看原版还是原版,原作的笔触和力度是翻译不出来的。我真的拿来当一千零一夜看了,非常精彩有趣。
评分此书中译本是垃圾,千万别上当。
评分呃呃
评分只能自恋一下,能同时掌握好中英文两门语言真不容易,因为这是两门最不讲语法逻辑的语言。
