“哪一种语言你绝对不会学?”语言文化
这个问题是我在Quora上面看到的。本以为会像国内论坛那样骂声一片乌烟瘴气,结果底下的回答都出乎意料的冷静。但是即使出现骂声,虽然不提倡,但也能理解。这样一个讨论负面话题的标题,很容易招来各种负面的声音。不过我还是选择回答了这个问题,当时我的回答如下:
Is there any language you would never learn? I mean, a language you dislike or you just don’t feel interest for.

Esperanto.
Its ideology is okay but the people I met who ‘know’ Esperanto are condescending and brainless. Its promotion couldn’t be stupider as I constantly hear “learning Esperanto helps learn other languages”. But truth is, learning ANY language helps learn another language regardless of their similarities.
And there’s this video on youtube:
This goes too far to prove a point. Is it that hard to admit English is more widely spoken than Esperanto, so much so that you have to make one person pretend she doesn’t speak English???
I’d rather spend a lot more time on learning Arabic than spend a second on Esperanto.
以上是我的回复,我的回答是:世界语。
这样的问题我看论坛里没有人问过,所以也想听听大家的意见和想法。
