Nor do they aspire to such command themselves... The Degradation of Language and Music ... a linguist and controversialist of mixed liberal and conservative views, sees the triumph of 1960s counter-culture as responsible for the decline of formal English.
public figure“公众人物”；command“驾驭”；with skill and gift“用技巧和天赋”；aspire to“渴求”；degradation“退化”；linguist“语言学家”；controversialist“争论家”；mixed“混合的”；liberal“自由的”；conservative“保守的”；triumph“胜利”；counter-culture“反文化”；see...as responsible for...“认为...为...负责”；decline“衰退”；formal“正式的，正规的”。
Blaming the permissive 1960s is nothing new, but this is not yet another criticism against the decline in education. Mr. McWhorter’s academic speciality ... gradual disappearance ... to be natural and no more regrettable than the loss of the case-endings of Old English.
blame“责备”；permissive“放纵的”；criticism against“对...的批判”；decline“衰退”；academic speciality“学术专长”；gradual“逐渐的”；natural“自然的”；no more... than...“两者都不”；regrettable“令人遗憾的”。
But the cult of the authentic and the personal ... has spelt the death ... While even the modestly educated sought an elevated tone when they put pen to paper before the 1960s, even the most well regarded writing since then has sought to capture spoken English on the page. Equally, in poetry, the highly personal, performative genre is the only form that could claim real liveliness. In both oral and written English, talking is triumphing over speaking, spontaneity over craft.
cult“风尚，热潮”；authentic“真实的”；spell“意味着，招致”；the modestly educated可以表示“教育程度一般的人”；sought原形seek“追求”；elevated“智慧的，高尚的”；tone“语气”；put pen to paper“落笔”；capture“捕捉”；equally“同样地”；performative“表述行为的”；genre“体裁”；claim结合语境，可以表示“主张”；liveliness“生动，鲜明”；oral“口头的，口述的”，oral English“英语口语”；triumph over“击败”；spontaneity“自发性”；craft“技能”。
