英语翻译
Language is not an abstract construction of the learned ,or of dictionary-makers,but is someting arising out of the work,needs,ties,joys,affections,tastes of long generations of humanity,and has its bases broad and low,close to the ground.--Walt Whitman

语言,并不是仅仅由博学者和字典编辑者所构建的一种抽象的概念,它是从人类长久以来的工作、需求、人际关系、幸福和情感以及品味中提炼出来的东西,它有着贴近大众的广泛基础.- 沃尔特惠特曼
