Sample Sentences

我倒不这样想。语言不是静止的，越是有新词加入，越能增加它的生命力。不是有人说现在的世界是平的吗？其实很多东西都是能够融合的，包括语言。
wǒ dào bù zhèyàng xiǎng 。yǔyán bù shì jìngzhǐ de ，yuèshì yǒu xīn cí jiārù ，yuè néng zēngjiā tā de shēngmìnglì 。bùshì yǒurén shuō xiànzài de shìjiè shì píng de ma ？qíshí hěn duō dōngxi dōu shì nénggòu rónghé de ，bāokuò yǔyán 。
For myself, I'm not worried about that. Languages aren't static. The more new words they have coming in, the more vitality they have. Didn't someone say that the world is flat? Actually a lot of things can be blended, including languages.
