Although the contemporary sway of English language over others is beyond any cavil, based upon the fact thatit is also the language of the Americans, the most developed and influential nation on the global map in the fields ofeducation, economics, defense technology and world trade, the fact remains that the seeds of English language’sflourishing crop were sown by the unjustifiable British colonialism and forced occupation over weaker nations.
儘管英語在當代對其他語言的影響無可挑剔，但基於這樣一個事實，即它也是美國的語言，美國是全球地圖上在教育、經濟、國防技術和世界貿易領域最發達和最有影響力的國家，事實仍然是，英語蓬勃發展的種子是由無理的英國殖民主義和對弱國的強迫佔領播下的。
