BBC环球慢速英语 第552期:人类家庭语言计划(3)

voice 1: In August 2005, Professor Roy and his wife had their first baby — a boy. Professor Roy thought that this happy event could also be an interesting chance to learn. He could observe a human baby learning language from the very beginning. So, when his son John was born, Professor Roy began "The Human Speechome Project".
声音1：2005年8月，罗伊教授和他的妻子迎来了他们的第一个孩子，一个男孩。罗伊教授认为这件喜事也能成为有趣的学习机会。他可以从头开始观察人类婴儿学习语言的过程。因此，他的儿子约翰出生后，罗伊教授启动了“人类家庭语言计划”。

voice 2: Speechome is not a real word. But it combines the words "speech" and "home." That is because Professor Roy will observe his son learning speech in his home. He expects that John will develop language skills normally — like any other child. And Professor Roy will use his observations to make a model of the way people learn language.
声音2：家庭语言并不是一个实词。而是“语言”和“家庭”结合而成的词。这是因为罗伊教授计划观察他儿子在家里学习语言的过程。他希望约翰能像其他孩子一样，正常地开发语言技能。罗伊教授会用他的观察结果来创建一个模型，说明人们学习语言的方式。
