31、popular for some time.DThere are about 7,000 languages spoken around the world. All the languages are different from one another insounds, vocabularies and also structures. That leads to an ancient question: Does the language we speak shape theway we think? Charlemagne, Holy Roman emperor, said,“To

32、have a second language is to have a second mind. ”However, Shakespeare once had Juliet say,“ What s in a name? A rose by any other name would smell just sweet.Recently, researches have been done to answer this question. Kuuk Thaayoorre people inAustralia don t usewords like “ left” and“ right” . Ins
