00:00:00.840 --> 00:00:03.416
我宜家用嘅語言

00:00:03.440 --> 00:00:07.776
就來成爲世界通用語言

00:00:07.800 --> 00:00:10.136
無論係好定壞

00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:11.376
我哋要面對呢個事實

00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:13.256
互聯網用英文

00:00:13.280 --> 00:00:15.256
金融交易用英文

00:00:15.280 --> 00:00:17.616
空中交通管制用英文

00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:19.016
流行音樂用英文

00:00:19.040 --> 00:00:20.256
外交亦係用英文

00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:21.720
英文無處不在

00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:26.416
宜家，愈來愈多人用普通話交流

00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:28.936
但係同時，學英文嘅華人

00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:31.656
多過於學中文嘅外籍人士

00:00:31.680 --> 00:00:33.416
我聽講過

00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:36.896
喺中國有 24 間大學

00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:39.656
用英文教學

00:00:39.680 --> 00:00:41.080
英文正在成爲主流

NOTE Paragraph

00:00:41.680 --> 00:00:43.376
仲有

00:00:43.400 --> 00:00:46.016
有人預測喺呢個世紀尾

00:00:46.040 --> 00:00:49.016
幾乎所有現存嘅語言

00:00:49.040 --> 00:00:50.296
大概 6000 種

00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:52.216
唔會俾用來做語言交流

00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:54.840
通用嘅語言會剩番幾百種

00:00:55.360 --> 00:00:56.976
仲有

00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:01.576
直播演講嘅即時翻譯唔只會成爲現實

00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:04.720
仲會越來越好

NOTE Paragraph

00:01:05.360 --> 00:01:08.096
我背咗咁多書

00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:11.256
係因爲我知道，我哋已經到咗

00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:13.496
一個要問問題嘅點

00:01:13.520 --> 00:01:17.056
問題就係，母語係英文嘅人

00:01:17.080 --> 00:01:21.056
點解仲要學其他語言？

00:01:21.080 --> 00:01:24.096
全世界都可以用 同一種語言交流

00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:29.600
點解仲要再學一種語言？

NOTE Paragraph

00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:32.376
我相信有好多種原因

00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:34.736
第一個原因

00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:37.616
可能亦係大家最經常聽到嗰个

00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:41.976
因為事實危險過想象好多

00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:43.736
換句話講

00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:46.536
語言影響人嘅思維方式

00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:50.936
唔同語言有唔同嘅詞彙同文法

00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:54.776
令到人類擁有唔同嘅思維過程

00:01:54.800 --> 00:01:56.016
就係咁

00:01:56.040 --> 00:02:00.256
呢係個好有趣嘅觀點

00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:01.576
雖然有些小誤導人

NOTE Paragraph

00:02:01.600 --> 00:02:05.056
呢個觀點唔係全錯

00:02:05.080 --> 00:02:08.895
譬如喺法文同西班牙文

00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:13.176
個「枱」字係陰性

00:02:13.200 --> 00:02:14.200
「la table，la mesa」

00:02:14.200 --> 00:02:17.160
（法，西）我哋唯有記住

00:02:17.160 --> 00:02:18.656
有實驗表明

00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:21.076
如果你嘅母語係法文或者西班牙文

00:02:21.100 --> 00:02:23.776
如果有人叫你

00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:27.856
想象下張枱識講嘢會點講

00:02:27.880 --> 00:02:31.776
好多時

00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:33.496
講法文或者西班牙文嘅人

00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:38.376
會話張枱用女聲

00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:42.536
既係，法國或西班牙人會當張枱係女仔

00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:45.736
如果你講英文，你會當枱係男仔

NOTE Paragraph

00:02:45.760 --> 00:02:47.576
呢啲數據真係好好玩

00:02:47.600 --> 00:02:49.736
可能會有人話

00:02:49.760 --> 00:02:54.576
如果你識外語，你就會有一種國際視角

00:02:54.600 --> 00:02:55.896
不過一定要注意

00:02:55.920 --> 00:03:00.376
如果將母語係英語嘅人

00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:02.856
作爲樣品觀察嘅話

00:03:02.880 --> 00:03:06.736
英文包括嘅國際視角又係乜

NOTE Paragraph

00:03:06.760 --> 00:03:09.496
講幾個例子

00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:12.816
屏幕上嘅人叫 Bono

00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:14.456
佢用慣英文

00:03:14.480 --> 00:03:17.416
我假設佢有國際視角

00:03:17.440 --> 00:03:21.096
而呢個人係 Donald Trump

00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:22.336
佢喺度用佢嘅方式

00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:23.776
講英文

NOTE Paragraph

00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:25.320
（笑聲）

NOTE Paragraph

00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:30.856
呢個係 Kardashian 女士

00:03:30.880 --> 00:03:32.856
佢都講英文

00:03:32.880 --> 00:03:35.656
所以我哋有三個講英文嘅樣本

00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:39.256
佢哋嘅國際視野有咩相似

00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:44.376
英文又點樣影響佢哋嘅國際觀念

00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:46.216
呢係講法好誤導人

00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:51.096
慢慢形成嘅共識係語言影響思維方式

00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:57.576
呢個係一個好模糊嘅共識

00:03:57.600 --> 00:04:02.200
唔係俾你多副眼鏡睇世界咁簡單

NOTE Paragraph

00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:05.016
所以喺呢種情況下

00:04:05.040 --> 00:04:06.976
點解要學語言

00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:09.536
如果學習言唔會改變思維方式

00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:11.160
又有乜其他原因呢

00:04:11.720 --> 00:04:12.920
原因有以下幾個

00:04:13.600 --> 00:04:18.976
一、你想要瞭解一個新文化

00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:22.136
要瞭解通透，就要成爲佢嘅一部分

00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:26.056
語言對文化有冇影響

00:04:26.080 --> 00:04:28.016
亦冇一個明確嘅答案

00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:29.856
如果你想瞭解一個文化

00:04:29.880 --> 00:04:32.336
你就要喺某種程度上

00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:35.696
瞭解呢種文化形成嘅語言因素

00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:37.416
除此之外，冇他法

NOTE Paragraph

00:04:37.440 --> 00:04:39.936
有一個好有趣嘅實例

00:04:39.960 --> 00:04:43.656
有啲偏門，但你真係要睇下

00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:48.016
加拿大導演 Denys Arcand 嘅一部電影

00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:50.736
英文係「Dennis Ar-cand」

00:04:50.760 --> 00:04:52.096
如果你想上網搜索

00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:55.176
佢有部作品叫「蒙特利爾嘅耶穌」

00:04:55.200 --> 00:04:57.336
其中有好多角色

00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:02.416
都係好有趣嘅法裔加拿大人

00:05:02.440 --> 00:05:03.776
同講法文嘅女人

00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:06.256
喺電影結尾之前有一幕

00:05:06.280 --> 00:05:09.736
主角要帶朋友去個英文醫院

00:05:09.760 --> 00:05:11.856
所以喺醫院入邊 一定要講英文

00:05:11.880 --> 00:05:14.736
但係英文唔係佢哋嘅母語

00:05:14.760 --> 00:05:16.456
所以佢哋好唔想講英文

00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:18.416
唯有好慢咁講英文

00:05:18.440 --> 00:05:20.416
佢哋有好重嘅口音，用詞好唔通順

00:05:20.440 --> 00:05:23.136
突然間，

00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:26.560
呢啲你好中意嘅人物嘅形象大打折扣

NOTE Paragraph

00:05:27.280 --> 00:05:28.976
真係進入一個文化

00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:33.016
凈係只透過層厚紗去觀察

00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:35.936
係冇辦法真正瞭解一個文化

00:05:35.960 --> 00:05:38.736
所以喺本世紀末，得番幾百種語言個時

00:05:38.760 --> 00:05:40.016
其中一個去學習語言嘅原因係

00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:43.736
學語言提供咗 一個

00:05:43.760 --> 00:05:46.016
參與到原生語言環境中嘅機會

00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:49.216
畢竟語言係一個羣體嘅符號

00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:50.480
呢個係第一個原因

NOTE Paragraph

00:05:51.440 --> 00:05:52.736
第二個原因

00:05:52.760 --> 00:05:54.176
研究表明

00:05:54.200 --> 00:05:56.160
如果可以講兩種語言嘅人

00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:59.160
唔容易得老年癡呆

00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:02.496
而且項目管理能力會好叻

00:06:02.520 --> 00:06:05.936
呢類早期嘅影響因素

00:06:05.960 --> 00:06:07.896
令我哋可以

00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:12.456
畀大學生一個大致嘅概念

00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:14.896
就係熟悉兩種語言有益健康

NOTE Paragraph

00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:16.816
第三個原因

00:06:16.840 --> 00:06:20.240
語言本身係十分之有趣

00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:22.536
比我哋平時瞭解到嘅更加有趣，譬如

00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:25.856
阿拉伯文嘅「kataba」係「他寫」

00:06:25.880 --> 00:06:29.096
「yaktubu」係「他寫」、「她寫」

00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:32.136
「Uktub」係「寫，命令式」

00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:34.056
佢哋有乜相同之處

00:06:34.080 --> 00:06:36.176
佢哋嘅共同點

00:06:36.200 --> 00:06:39.736
就係作為中流砥柱嘅輔音

00:06:39.760 --> 00:06:41.216
輔音唔會變

00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:44.376
元音就圍住輔音跳舞

00:06:44.400 --> 00:06:47.576
咁好玩，係人都想練習下啲發音啦

00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:49.016
希伯來文，同衣索比亞嘅主要語言

00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:52.696
阿姆哈拉文，都有相似嘅例子

00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:54.136
真係好有趣

NOTE Paragraph

00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:57.576
唔同語言有唔同嘅文字順序

00:06:57.600 --> 00:06:59.816
學識唔同嘅文字順序

00:06:59.840 --> 00:07:04.816
就好似喺唔同國家開車用左右舵咁

00:07:04.840 --> 00:07:09.336
好似金缕梅入眼一樣

00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:10.696
你會感受到微震

00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:13.296
語言有相似嘅效果

NOTE Paragraph

00:07:13.320 --> 00:07:14.536
譬如話

00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:16.576
《戴高帽子的猫又來了》

00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:19.096
我相信大家都經常回顧呢本書

00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:20.376
又譬如話《白鯨記》

00:07:20.400 --> 00:07:25.496
有句話：
「你知唔知我喺邊度搵到佢？」

00:07:25.520 --> 00:07:26.520
「你知唔知佢喺邊度？」

00:07:26.520 --> 00:07:28.200
「佢食緊蛋糕係水缸入邊啊」

00:07:28.200 --> 00:07:29.416
「真係啊！」

00:07:29.440 --> 00:07:31.776
如果你用普通話講

00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:33.056
嘅順序就會係

00:07:33.080 --> 00:07:35.336
「你能想到我在哪裏把他找到的嗎？」

00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:37.176
「他在水缸裏面吃蛋糕」

00:07:37.200 --> 00:07:39.016
「沒有錯，真是在吃蛋糕！」

00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:40.256
呢種感覺真係好好

00:07:40.280 --> 00:07:44.576
想像一下你年年月月都識做呢件事

NOTE Paragraph

00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:48.936
又或者，你哋有冇人學過柬埔寨文

00:07:48.960 --> 00:07:51.976
我都冇學過，不過如果我學過

00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:56.616
我就會學到好多元音

00:07:56.640 --> 00:07:57.896
唔止英文嘅十零個咁可憐

00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:00.936
有成 30 幾個咁多

00:08:00.960 --> 00:08:04.856
喺你嘴裡邊

00:08:04.880 --> 00:08:07.216
好似蜜蜂喺巢裡邊，橫衝直撞

00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:09.760
呢個就係語言可以做乜

NOTE Paragraph

00:08:10.440 --> 00:08:11.696
更重要嘅係

00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:12.720
我哋生喺一個

00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:15.680
可以容易自學其他語言嘅時代

00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:17.936
喺以前，你要去課室

00:08:17.960 --> 00:08:20.016
課室會有勤力嘅老師

00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:21.656
亦都有天才老師

00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:24.016
但係，佢哋唔喺成日喺度

00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:25.296
仲去搵佢哋時

00:08:25.320 --> 00:08:27.136
佢哋又未必有時間畀你

00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:28.560
你唯有去上堂

00:08:28.974 --> 00:08:29.974
你如果冇機會去上堂


00:08:29.974 --> 00:08:31.760
你就要跟住錄音碟

00:08:31.760 --> 00:08:33.456
我就係用錄音磁帶開始學嘅

00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:36.176
錄音碟或者叫錄音磁帶

00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:37.456
又或者係最經典嘅 CD

00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:39.816
入邊內容有限

00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:42.456
有時你手頭有書，但係本書唔好

00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:43.856
以前就係咁嘞

NOTE Paragraph

00:08:43.880 --> 00:08:46.776
但係家下，你可以癱喺沙發度

00:08:46.800 --> 00:08:49.256
或者癱喺客廳個個地下

00:08:49.280 --> 00:08:50.496
飲下酒

00:08:50.520 --> 00:08:53.296
學你想學嘅語言

00:08:53.320 --> 00:08:54.320
宜家有非常好嘅工具

00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:55.920
譬如 Rosetta Stone

00:08:55.920 --> 00:08:59.056
我個人推介比較小衆嘅 Glossika

00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:00.376
幾時學都得

00:09:00.400 --> 00:09:03.000
所以你就有機會學得更多更好

00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:07.296
你可以朝早學語言

00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:08.320
我會喺每個早晨用唔同語言

00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:11.080
睇「呆伯特（Dilbert）」動畫

00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:12.736
來提高我嘅語言能力

00:09:12.760 --> 00:09:14.616
喺廿年前就冇咁方便

00:09:14.640 --> 00:09:18.176
一個人可以隨身

00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:19.776
譬如話，個袋入邊

00:09:19.800 --> 00:09:21.296
手機入邊有學語言嘅資料

00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:25.040
喺以前會係天方夜譚

NOTE Paragraph

00:09:25.800 --> 00:09:28.336
所以，我強烈建議

00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:32.336
你學幾個新語言

00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:35.536
因爲宜家係個好好嘅機會

00:09:35.560 --> 00:09:37.056
真係會好好玩

00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:38.896
佢未必會改變你嘅諗法

00:09:38.920 --> 00:09:42.096
但係一定會顛覆你嘅思維

NOTE Paragraph

00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:43.336
多謝大家

00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:48.161
