问题     As the world is in transition, so the English language is itself taking new forms. This, of course, has always been true: English has changed substantially in the 1,500 years or so of its use, reflecting patterns of contact with other languages and the changing communication needs of people. But in many parts of the world, as English is taken into the fabric of social life, it acquires a momentum and vitality of its own, developing in ways which reflect local culture and languages, while diverging increasingly from the kind of English spoken in Britain or North America.

选项

答案由于世界正处于转型时期,因此英语本身也出现了新形式。在人们使用英语的1500年左右的时间里,英语经历了实质性变化,反映出英语和其他语言之间联系形式的变化,以及人们不断变化的交际需求,这些当然都是勿庸置疑的。然而,目前在世界许多地区,随着英语融入社会生活,成为社会结构的一部分,这一语言拥有了自己的发展动力和生命力,其发展体现了当地文化和语言的影响,而与英国人、北美人所说的英语相差越来越大。
