M: Sometimes a language disappears immediately when the
35、last person speaking it dies. Or, a local language might disappear more slowly.

Official languages often represent a form of control over a group of pe
36、ople. W: Can you explain it a bit further? M: Throughout history, the language spoken by a powerful group spreads across a civilization. The more powerful culture rarely respects the language and culture of smaller ethnic groups. So, smaller cultures lose their local language as the language of the

43、, never, have you? W: Almost for five years. M: Five years? Wow! Isn“t it a bit dangerous? I heard that a 21-year-old college student lost his life when climbing the cliff the other day. W: Yes, it does happen from time to time, most often by people who just try when they are not yet ready for any r
44、isk. M: Are there any climbing clubs for freshmen to join? W: Yes, for sure. But you need time to pick out the best one.
