(2021·上海·华东师范大学第一附属中学高一期中)Who hasn’t wanted to master not just two languages but 10? Take Giuseppe Mezzofanti, a 19th-century priest who was said to be ____16____ in as many 50 languages. Native speakers came from all over the world to test his abilities and many felt ____17____.
In Babel No More, Michael Erard investigates the legend of Mezzofanti and other linguistic ____18____, or “hyperpolyglots”. How do they do it? Do they possess peculiar capacities or skills?
Being a journey into the linguistic ____19____, terms must naturally be defined, and early on Erard asks what it means to really know a language. Claire Kramsch, a linguist at the University of California, Berkeley, tells him the question should not be “How many languages do you know?” but rather “In how many languages do you live?” Understanding the ____20____ cultural difference of a language requires extensive and ____21____ contact with its speakers, and for that reason Kramsch ____22____ that anyone could ever live in more than four or five languages.
____23____, but what about the less nuanced (微妙的) yet still astonishing feats of memory and calculation that people display when they ____24____ a new language, or eight? Erard points out that, for no good reason, this question has been ____25____ by science. After all, we study extraordinary ____26____ in mathematics and music; why not linguistic geniuses?
Erard ____27____ down Mezzofanti’s papers, speaks to many language experts and even learns that some bilingual people experience mental illness in one ____28____ but not another. Most interestingly, he surveys a group of modem linguistic geniuses. Memory, ____29____ and practice are all important, they say, but so is a practical strategy. Those who claimed to speak 11 languages did not much care about ____30____ like a native. Unlike Mezzofanti, their goal was not to astonish but to do something— see the world, read the local paper and not get lost.
