Language (Part 2 of 10)

Actually, though, this "land of immigrants" has always had people of many different nationalities—and languages. The 1990 census indicates that almost 14% of Americans speak a non-English language at home. Ye t only 3% reported that they spoke English "not well" or "not at all." That means that slightly more than one out of 10 Americans could be considered bilingual. Besides that, many high school and college students—and even some elementary school students—are required to take a foreign language as a part of their curriculum.

事實上,在美國這塊「移民之地」,一直住著來自不同國籍、說不同語言的人口。一九九○年的人口普查顯示,幾乎百分之十四的美國人,在家裡不講英語。只有百分之三的人宣稱他們英語「說得不好」或「根本不會說」。這表示十分之一強的美國人可視為雙聲帶。此外,許多中學生、大學生,甚至小學生在校的學科都必須加修一門外語。
