In France, franglais（英式法语）was seen as a national threat. Just as we took in thousands of French words in the Middle Ages, French speakers and writers today are taking in thousands of English and American expressions. By 1994, so many English words had made their way to French that the French government passed a law forbidding the use of English words where good French words existed.

    But the latest edition of the Academy francaise dictionary did admit about 6,000 new words to the French language, including, for the first time, a number of franglais words and expressions.

    However, this sort of thing is not just limited to traditional English – French Competition. Norway and Brazil have recently taken similar measures to keep English out.

    As English spreads around the globe, it has developed rich varieties. English has been spoken in Singapore since the early 19^th century, but after independence from Britain, Singapore went a step further and English was made the official language of business and government. But the day −to–day English that the people of Singapore actually speak is a far cry from the official English that the government wants them to learn. It has become an expressive dialect called “Singlish”, full of vocabulary and grammar borrowed from the Singapores' native languages.

    And this may be the irony（讽刺）of the global spread of English. The more widely it's spoken, the more it may change into local dialects, which are not easily intelligible. People will make English their own and, in doing so, will make it something else. This has happened before to Latin which broke into French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Romanian. But English has always welcomed variety and change, and it still does.

遗憾，也是一朵奇葩

    ①遗憾，词典上的解释是“不称心”“太可惋惜”。无论人还是事，若留下遗憾，似乎都会存有残缺，让人叹息不已。

    ②很多的悲剧都在展现遗憾：荆轲身负重任剌奏王，偏偏选人不当刺杀失败，遗憾！屈原忠心耿耿爱君国，偏偏遇上昏庸的楚怀王，遗憾！历史上类似的悲剧不胜枚举，在人生的行进过程中遗憾似乎常常如影相随。

    ③既然如此，那么应该怎样对待遗憾呢？毋庸置疑，我们应该正视遗憾。

    ④正视遗憾，首先是坦然接受遗憾。如果人生皆有遗憾，人生必有遗憾，那么我们不如坦然接受它，不抱怨，不气馁，把它化作人生中的另外一道风景。 韩愈接受了“朝奏夕贬”的遗憾，写出了“云横秦岭家何在，雪拥蓝关马不前”的千古绝句；柳宗元接受了贬谪永州闲置的遗憾，写出了不朽的“永州八记”……由此看来，遗憾，也是一朵奇葩；它，也能激发出生命的激情，让生命在逆境中焕发出新的精彩。

    ⑤正视遗憾，就要把遗憾作为人生的又一块磨砺石。遗憾，常常还不是轻描淡写的叹息，不是大可惋惜的摇头，遗憾可能是人生的一道坎，甚至是险象环生的断裂层。但是，只要正视遗憾，把遗憾作为又一块磨砺石，磨练毅力，砥砺意志，那么，人生在遗憾这块磨砺石上将奏出荡气回肠的高亢之音。不是吗？音乐家贝多芬，正值创作的盛年，但双耳失聪，是遗憾，然而他扼住命运的咽喉，谱写了如《命运交响曲》等许多不朽作品。【A】当人们还在用滚滚热泪对他们的种种遗憾扼腕长叹表达出自己的遗憾时，他们已经把遗憾当作展现生命进取的长空，翱翔搏击其中，创下一个个奇迹。

    ⑥正视遗憾，就是把遗憾定格为人生的一种经历。人人都有理想，而理想的最大特色就是高于现实，也正因为如此，追求理想的人难免受挫，从而留下遗憾。但是，如果能笑对遗憾，那么，遗憾将定格为一种经历，留下为后人赞叹的美。李白欲求仕，但终生仕途不顺、屡遭排遣，是遗憾，然而他“仰天大笑出门去，我辈岂是蓬蒿人”的自信，又曾让多少文人墨客欣然折服。【B】所以，遗憾就是一种厚重的美，它正如一杯苦茶，虽然入口苦涩，却能于入咽时感受到它的香甜。

    ⑦尽管并不是所有的播种帮能有收获，尽管并不是所有的追求都会绽开花朵，但正如朱光潜老先生所说：“倘若件件事都尽善尽美了，自然没有希望发生，更没有努力奋斗的必要。”既然如此，何必拒绝遗憾！因此，我们可以认定，遗憾乃是人生的一种必然，应该正视遗憾。
