翻译
In the United Nations and its various organizations, such as UNESCO and WHO, six official languages are used. These were chosen on the basis of the size of world population using these languages. Can you guess what they are? Chinese, English, Russian, French, Spanish and Arabic. Although these six languages are all spoken by a very large number of people, English is still the most commonly used one. Sixty percent of all the world’s radio programs are in English. Seventy percent of all the mail is written in English. There are historical and political reasons for this. This history of the British imperialism is not an admirable one. Still the reality of the widespread use of English, which resulted from it must be accepted. Many African countries use English because it unites their people who speak many different tribal languages. It also gives them a close link with the rest of the world. In India, Hindi is the official language, yet English is much more widely used than Hindi.
