1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:03,000
我知道你哋諗咩

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,000
你哋覺得我走錯咗上台

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,720
然後有人會好快帶我返落去

4
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:15,140
（掌聲）

5
00:00:15,140 --> 00:00:18,680
我喺杜拜成日會遇上呢啲問題︰

6
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:20,700
「嚟呢度度假吖？」

7
00:00:20,700 --> 00:00:22,240
（笑聲）

8
00:00:22,240 --> 00:00:26,990
「嚟探小朋友吖？你會留幾耐？」

9
00:00:27,610 --> 00:00:30,000
其實我想留耐啲

10
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:35,570
我喺波斯灣生活同教書已經超過 30 年啦

11
00:00:35,570 --> 00:00:39,000
（掌聲）

12
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,000
呢 30 年裏面，我睇到好多變化

13
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,890
宜家呢份數據幾嚇人

14
00:00:47,890 --> 00:00:54,040
而我今日要講嘅係
語言消失同埋英語全球化

15
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:59,290
我想講一講我朋友
喺阿布扎比教大人英文

16
00:00:59,290 --> 00:01:03,360
喺一個晴天嘅日子，佢帶學生去花園

17
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,120
喺嗰度教學生一啲大自然嘅詞彙

18
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:10,180
但最後卻變成我朋友
學曬所有當地植物嘅阿拉伯名

19
00:01:10,180 --> 00:01:11,640
同埋植物用途

20
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:17,040
例如用喺藥物、化妝品
烹飪用途、草藥

21
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,680
呢啲學生點樣得到呢啲知識嘅呢？

22
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:24,250
當然係由佢哋嘅祖父母
甚至曾祖父母獲得架啦

23
00:01:24,250 --> 00:01:31,640
所以跨世代溝通我唔需多講有幾重要

24
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,000
但遺憾嘅

25
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,000
今日好多語言正以前所未有嘅速度消失

26
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,600
每 14 日就有一種語言消失

27
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,000
與此同時

28
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,430
英文卻無庸置疑成為國際語言

29
00:01:46,430 --> 00:01:48,020
當中有關聯嗎？

30
00:01:48,020 --> 00:01:49,000
我唔知

31
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,000
但我知我見證好多轉變

32
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,620
當我第一次嚟到波斯灣，我去咗科威特

33
00:01:55,620 --> 00:01:58,820
當時英文老師仍然唔係一份好工

34
00:01:58,820 --> 00:02:01,230
其實，我嚟呢度做嘢唔係好耐之前

35
00:02:01,230 --> 00:02:03,690
但做老師唔太好係講緊更加早之前

36
00:02:03,690 --> 00:02:09,530
總之，英國文化協會
請咗我同其他 25 位老師

37
00:02:09,530 --> 00:02:15,040
我哋係第一批喺科威特嘅國立學校
任教嘅非穆斯林老師

38
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:16,930
我哋被派到嗰度教英文

39
00:02:16,930 --> 00:02:20,000
係因為當地政府希望國家可以現代化

40
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,290
同埋提升公民嘅教育水平

41
00:02:23,290 --> 00:02:28,000
當然，英國從中獲得石油財富

42
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,870
言歸正傳

43
00:02:29,870 --> 00:02:36,970
我見過最大嘅改變, 就係英語教學

44
00:02:36,970 --> 00:02:44,760
由原本大家互惠互利嘅經濟手段
演變成今日全世界大規模嘅生意

45
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,000
英語唔再係學校課程裡面嘅外語科目

46
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,990
亦唔再只係英國嘅專利

47
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:57,010
英語教學嘅商機已經成為
所有英語國家想分一杯匙嘅嘢

48
00:02:57,010 --> 00:02:59,000
點解唔係呢？

49
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:05,380
畢竟，根據最新嘅世界大學排名

50
00:03:05,380 --> 00:03:11,020
最好嘅教育嚟自英國同美國嘅大學

51
00:03:11,020 --> 00:03:15,170
所以自然每個人都想接受英語教育

52
00:03:15,170 --> 00:03:19,750
但如果你嘅母語唔係英文
你就要考英文試

53
00:03:19,750 --> 00:03:25,160
但單憑英語能力決定收唔收學生
咁樣做啱嗎？

54
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:29,100
譬如有一位電腦科學家，佢係天才嚟嘅

55
00:03:29,100 --> 00:03:32,970
但他需唔需要有律師一樣嘅語言能力？

56
00:03:32,970 --> 00:03:35,000
我唔覺得要

57
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,540
但身為英語老師嘅我哋
卻總係拒絕收呢啲人

58
00:03:39,540 --> 00:03:41,830
我哋喺佢個人發展嘅路上處處設限

59
00:03:41,830 --> 00:03:43,740
將學生擋喺路上

60
00:03:43,740 --> 00:03:45,420
令佢哋無法追求自己嘅夢想

61
00:03:45,420 --> 00:03:49,020
直至佢哋通過咗英文考試
我哋至畀佢過

62
00:03:49,730 --> 00:03:52,000
容我換個方式講

63
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,000
如果我遇到一位只會講荷蘭文嘅人

64
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,000
而呢個人能夠醫好癌症

65
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,890
我會阻止佢入英國大學嗎？我諗唔會

66
00:04:02,890 --> 00:04:06,000
但事實上，我哋的確咁樣做

67
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,000
我哋英語老師嘅工作就係把關

68
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,000
學生必須先令我哋覺得佢哋嘅英文夠好

69
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,590
我哋至會畀佢哋上

70
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,860
但咁樣可以係危險嘅

71
00:04:18,860 --> 00:04:23,360
因為社會將太多權力交畀一小撮人

72
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,870
或者呢種升學障礙全世界都有

73
00:04:28,430 --> 00:04:31,000
我聽到你哋話

74
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,990
「咁研究呢？佢哋全部都用英文。」

75
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,000
書藉用英文寫

76
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,000
期刊都係用英文寫

77
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,000
但呢個只係自我滿足嘅情況

78
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,570
有英語需求自然就有英語供給

79
00:04:44,570 --> 00:04:46,200
所以英語出版長做長有

80
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,000
我想問大家，翻譯發生咗啲咩呢？

81
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,630
如果你哋諗返伊斯蘭嘅黃金時代

82
00:04:53,630 --> 00:04:56,000
當時翻譯盛行

83
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:01,010
啲人將拉丁文同希臘文
翻譯成阿拉伯文或波斯文

84
00:05:01,010 --> 00:05:07,040
然後再由阿拉伯文同波斯文翻譯成
歐洲日耳曼系以及羅曼系嘅語言

85
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:11,280
可以話文明照亮咗歐洲嘅黑暗時代

86
00:05:12,820 --> 00:05:16,420
但唔好會咗意，我唔係反對英語教學

87
00:05:16,420 --> 00:05:18,040
尤其在座咁多位英語老師喺度

88
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,460
我好高興我哋有一個國際語言

89
00:05:20,460 --> 00:05:23,780
國際語言今時今日更加需要

90
00:05:23,780 --> 00:05:27,000
但我反對用英語阻止他人升學發展

91
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,000
唔通我哋真希望世界剩返 600 種語言

92
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,000
其中以英文或者中文做主流？

93
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,820
世界需要更多語言

94
00:05:34,820 --> 00:05:36,820
咁幾多語言先至夠多呢？

95
00:05:36,820 --> 00:05:44,000
呢個制度將成績同英語水平畫上等號

96
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,000
咁係相當武斷嘅

97
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:52,000
（掌聲）

98
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,000
我想提醒各位

99
00:05:54,000 --> 00:06:03,440
站在巨人肩膀嘅當代知識分子
唔需要識英文或者通過英語考試

100
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,010
愛因斯坦就係其中一個例子

101
00:06:07,010 --> 00:06:10,700
順便講下，愛因斯坦曾被學校認為
係需要補救嘅學生

102
00:06:10,700 --> 00:06:12,950
因為佢有讀寫障礙

103
00:06:12,950 --> 00:06:14,760
但佢當時嘅世界好好彩

104
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,000
佢唔需要通過英語考試

105
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:24,010
因為美國英語測驗托福
1964 年先至開始

106
00:06:24,010 --> 00:06:26,960
宜家英語測試氾濫

107
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:28,910
有太多英語測試

108
00:06:28,910 --> 00:06:33,010
甚至每年過百萬嘅學生都參加呢啲考試

109
00:06:33,010 --> 00:06:37,020
宜家你會認為呢啲考試費用唔貴
價錢合理咁

110
00:06:37,020 --> 00:06:41,010
但對於幾百萬窮人嚟講
呢啲考試太過奢侈

111
00:06:41,010 --> 00:06:43,000
所以考試令到好多人卻步

112
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,230
（掌聲）

113
00:06:46,230 --> 00:06:49,000
呢樣令我諗起最近睇到嘅
一個新聞標題：

114
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,520
「教育：分開人嘅工具」

115
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:56,000
我終於明白點解
大家都想焦點擺喺英語度

116
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:00,010
因為佢哋想孩子得到最好嘅機會

117
00:07:00,010 --> 00:07:03,000
為咗達成，佢哋需要畀孩子西方教育

118
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,770
畢竟，唔可否認

119
00:07:04,770 --> 00:07:08,390
最好嘅工都係留返畀
西方大學畢業出嚟嘅人

120
00:07:08,390 --> 00:07:10,000
就好似我之前所講咁

121
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,000
呢個係一種循環

122
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,140
等我講兩位科學家嘅故事

123
00:07:18,140 --> 00:07:25,030
有兩位英國科學家做一項
用到動物前後肢嘅遺傳學實驗

124
00:07:25,030 --> 00:07:27,990
但佢哋得唔到佢哋想要嘅結果

125
00:07:27,990 --> 00:07:29,570
佢哋唔知點算

126
00:07:29,570 --> 00:07:31,920
直到嚟咗一位德國科學家

127
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:37,500
佢發現前肢同後肢喺英文裡面
係兩隻唔同嘅字

128
00:07:37,500 --> 00:07:43,540
但遺傳學同德文都唔會分

129
00:07:43,540 --> 00:07:45,440
所以，得咗！

130
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,000
問題解決咗

131
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:52,000
如果你諗唔到嘢，你會卡喺度

132
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,650
但如果用另一種語言可以諗到嗰樣嘢

133
00:07:54,650 --> 00:07:59,830
講唔同語言嘅我哋就可以透過合作
達到目的，學到更多

134
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:06,210
我個囡由科威特嚟到英格蘭

135
00:08:06,210 --> 00:08:09,000
因為佢喺阿拉伯讀中學

136
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,000
佢用阿拉伯文讀科學同數學

137
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,000
喺英國文法學校裡面
佢要翻譯所有嘢做英文

138
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:19,000
而佢呢兩科擺全班第一

139
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:23,860
呢樣話畀我哋聽，當外國學生嚟搵我哋

140
00:08:23,860 --> 00:08:27,030
我哋未必有按到佢哋所知道嘅嘢畀足分

141
00:08:27,030 --> 00:08:30,340
因為佢哋用佢哋自己嘅語言
去講佢哋知道嘅嘢

142
00:08:30,340 --> 00:08:32,380
當一個語言消失

143
00:08:32,380 --> 00:08:35,370
我哋唔肯定有咩係同個語言一齊消失

144
00:08:35,370 --> 00:08:39,000
呢個…我唔知大家最近有冇睇 CNN

145
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:45,030
佢哋頒咗一個英雄獎
畀一位年輕嘅肯亞牧童

146
00:08:45,030 --> 00:08:49,690
同村裡面其他小朋友一樣
佢無辦法夜晚讀書

147
00:08:49,690 --> 00:08:53,880
因為火水燈產生嘅煙霧會整傷佢隻眼

148
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,000
再者，佢冇足夠火水

149
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,520
畢竟每日只有一蚊美金嘅收入
你可以買到啲咩？

150
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:04,450
所以他發明咗唔使成本嘅太陽能燈

151
00:09:04,450 --> 00:09:12,620
宜家佢條村嘅細路仔嘅成績
同屋企有電嘅細路仔成績都一樣

152
00:09:12,620 --> 00:09:18,190
（掌聲）

153
00:09:18,190 --> 00:09:20,870
當佢攞到個獎時

154
00:09:20,870 --> 00:09:22,600
他講咗呢番可愛嘅說話：

155
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,000
「呢啲孩子可以帶領非洲

156
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,400
由宜家呢刻一塊黑暗大陸

157
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,970
走冋明日光明一片嘅大陸。」

158
00:09:29,970 --> 00:09:35,020
一個簡單嘅諗法卻有著咁深遠嘅影響

159
00:09:35,780 --> 00:09:43,350
無論屋止冇光定係英文唔好
都通過唔到我哋嘅測試

160
00:09:43,350 --> 00:09:46,560
而且我哋永遠無辦法知道佢哋知嘅嘢

161
00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:51,000
唔好畀佢哋同我哋自己處身於黑暗裡邊

162
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,000
等我哋一齊為語言多元化歡呼

163
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,000
好好保護你母語

164
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,000
用佢嚟傳播偉大嘅諗法

165
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:08,840
（掌聲）

166
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,490
多謝

167
00:10:10,490 --> 00:10:13,000
（掌聲）
