||1:Stalin spoke Russian as a second language.||2:The Georgian dictator of the Soviet Union had a noticeable accent and is said to have mumbled his case-endings.||3:The tale indicates two things.||4:One is that learning new languages is hard, even with a great deal of exposure.||5:(Stalin started learning Russian at around ten and spoke it all his adult life.||6:) The other is that languages are more complex than they need to be.||7:Not having mastered all Russian’s finer points didn’t keep Stalin from ruling the Soviet Union with a murderously effective iron hand.

||1:俄语是斯大林的第二语言。||2:这位前苏联的格鲁吉亚独裁者口音很重，据说他的格尾口齿不清。||3:这个故事说明了两件问题。||4:一个是学习新语言是困难的，即使有大量的接触。||5:(斯大林十岁左右开始学习俄语，成年后一直说俄语。||6:) 另一个原因是语言实际比所需复杂得多。||7:虽然斯大林没有掌握所有俄语的细微之处，但这并没有阻止他以铁腕统治苏联。

||1:No one paid particular attention to the boy who haunted his local mosque in Samarra, 60 miles north of Baghdad, and Ibrahim Awad never said much to them.||2:When he did, he mumbled , being shy.||3:His father taught Koranic chant there, so in his spare time Ibrahim would do the same, unobserved in some corner, muttering over the holy book.||4:When it came to singing out, though, he would suddenly find his voice, making the words ring through the building.||5:They noticed him then.

||1:His nemesis was Helmut Kohl, the beefy Christian Democrat leader.||2:Mr Schmidt underestimated his rival, mocking his mumbled provincial diction.||3:He himself was an accomplished music and art critic, as elegant a wordsmith in prose as in speech.||4:Mr Kohl’s main interest outside politics was food.||5:But the conservative leader’s willingness to listen and do deals made Mr Schmidt look arrogant and out of touch.||6:As his coalition disintegrated, the chancellor, in government since 1969, suddenly found himself in the political wilderness.||7:His party (like many in Europe spooked by Ronald Reagan’s unabashed anti-communism) veered leftwards.
