VOA慢速英语2013.03.28 critical, eighteen, 英语, becoming, word

Rebecca949

In eighteen seventy-two, a famous American word expert decided that the time had come to kill this word. He said, "Belittle has no chance of becoming English. And as more critical writers of America, like those of Britain, feel no need of it, the sooner it is forgotten, the better."1872年,美国一位著名的词汇专家认为,是时候封杀这个词了.他说:"Belittle不可能成为英语.随着越来越多的美国作家开始和英国作家一样,觉得它一无所是,它越早被遗忘越好."
