In all known languages we can see that plexities (復(fù)雜程度 ) must have been tens of thousands of years in developing. This has not always been well understood。既然 “ not primitive” 意為 “ 不原始 ” ,可知 “ primitive”應(yīng)與 “ undeveloped” 意思一致。注意人們的普遍認識與科學(xué)研究結(jié)論的沖突,即美國印第安人使用的語言并不是如許多人認為的那樣原始低級,而是相當(dāng)復(fù)雜和古老。 D You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight.
