问题    As the internet and social media become increasingly embedded in how we connect with and understand the world around us, so does the language we use to access that experience. Today the UN argues that speakers of non-dominant languages need to be able to express themselves online in culturally meaningful ways, and urges governments to develop comprehensive language-related policies that support and facilitate online linguistic diversity and multilingualism.
   "The internet is becoming the town square for the global village of tomorrow," said Bill Gates. But if the vast majority of the world’s languages don’t have a digital future, what will speakers have to sacrifice to be heard in the "digital town square"? Closing the digital divide clearly has huge potential to empower individuals around the world.

答案 就我们沟通和了解周遭世界的方式而言,随着互联网与社交媒体的影响变得日益深刻,语言对我们获取这一体验的影响也变得越来越大。如今,联合国认为,非主流语言的使用者需要能够用有文化意义的方式在网络上表达自我。该机构还敦促各国政府出台与语言相关的综合性政策,以支持与促进网络语言的多样性与多语言使用。 比尔盖茨说:“互联网正在成为未来地球村的中心广场。”然而,如果世界上绝大多数语言没有一个数字化未来,那么这些语言的使用者需要做出怎样的牺牲才能让自己的声音在这个“数字化中心广场”被他人听到?很显然,消弭数字化鸿沟这一举措,在赋予全世界每个人话语权方面有着巨大的潜力。
