People need a language that has “experience”. We need to know other people have lived all their lives talking in that language. We need to know that many centuries, many parents and their children, have made it work well. Natural language is always growing. The “closed system” of Globish, of course, is a beginning definition. Over time, Globish may add necessary words as technical or international when worldwide Globish speakers are using it.

人们需要一个具有“经验”的语言。我们需要知道别人一辈子都说那种语言。我们需要知道许多个世纪以来，很多父辈和他们的儿孙们已经把这点做得很好了。自然语言总在不断成长。当然，全球语的“封闭系统”是一个最初的定义。随着时间的推移，当全世界说全球语的人都在使用例如技术性的或国际性的词语的时候，全球语中就会加入这些必要的词汇。

The value of having a natural language is because it has been tested with many millions of people. Its most-used words have been turned over and over, like sand on a seaside, for centuries. These words are the survivors from all the natural languages that came into English. They are strong words, and useful words.

拥有一门自然语言的价值在于它已被数百万人检验过了。几个世纪以来，这门语言中最常用的词汇就像海边的沙子一样被翻过来又翻过去。这些词汇作为所有自然语言的幸存者加入了英语词汇之中。它们是强势词语，也是有用的词语。

And these rules of Globish are not something someone just “thought up.” For example, the way English deals with time through its verbs. Now all languages have different ways of communicating the order of happenings. But as much as any language, English-speakers have a proven language where events have relationships to each other in time. So timing is important to the English way of thinking, important to their communication. If they want to say something is happening “now” they use a continuous form, such as I am reading this book. That Present Continuous form means “exactly now.” If they say I read this book, it means they have read it before now, are reading it now, and will continue to read it in the future.

而且全球语的这些规则并不是某人刚刚“想出”的东西。例如，英语是通过它的动词来表达时间。如今所有的语言都有不同的方式来交流事件发生的顺序。但与其他任何语言相同的是，英语母语人士拥有一个经证实的语言，这门语言中的事件在时间上相互联系。因此，时间对于英语思维方式，对于他们的交流都很重要。如果他们想要说“现在”正在发生的事情，他们会用进行时，例如我正在读这本书。那么现在进行时就意味着“就是现在”。如果他们说我读这本书，这意味着他们之前在读这本书，现在正在读，而且将来会继续读它。

These things are all important to a “way of thinking.” They don’t happen by someone’s plan. Natural Language grows through trial-and-mistake-and-improvement, and that is why Natural Language works!

所有这些东西对于一种“思维方式”来说都很重要。它们并不是因某人计划而发生的。自然语言的成长经历了尝试—错误—改进这样的过程，而这就是为什么自然语言能起作用！

But why do we call Globish a “Closed System?” And is “closed” good?

但是我们为什么将全球语称之为一个“封闭系统”呢？那么“封闭”好吗？
