北师大版高中英语模块7--Unit 25(3)-4

（单词翻译）

[00:00.00]How do you feel it will have changed?
[00:01.87]Well, the English that's being
[00:02.91]spoken internationally,
[00:04.29]I think,for example, will have no longer,erm,
[00:07.80]say British-based or American-based idiomatic¹
[00:10.24]language because this is not useful for
[00:12.40]international communication
[00:13.77]so that will have gone.
[00:15.31]I think that, erm,quite probably,
[00:18.44]the nouns that we call,
[00:19.83]erm,uncountable nouns like "information"
[00:22.09]and so on,
[00:22.72]will have become countable² nouns for
[00:25.02]international use.
[00:26.31]I expect, in Britain,
[00:27.20]we'll carry on talking about,erm,
[00:29.61]information as a "piece of information",
[00:31.56]but quite possibly the rest of the world will
[00:33.91]be saying "three informations" without treating
[00:37.02]it as  an uncountable noun.
[00:38.44]I think, quite likely,
[00:39.81]the third-person-singular "s"
[00:41.35]in the Present Simple tense will have gone for
[00:44.13]international use.
[00:45.97]Erm, I think, in pronunciation,
[00:48.32]I think the "th" ([think]) sound will have gone
[00:50.41]and possibly the "th" ([the]) sound as well.
