Globish is correct English

全球语是正确的英语

Native English speakers can easily read and understand this book. But because of this, English speakers do not always notice that Globish is not just any English. They can miss the value of limiting their English to Globish. It should instead be a comfort to them, that what they are reading can also be easily understood by Globish speakers as well.

英语母语人士能够轻松的阅读并理解这本书。但正因如此，说英语的人往往没有注意到全球语并不是随便什么英语。他们可能因而忽视将他们的英语控制在全球语水平的重要性。这对于他们来说反而应该是一种安慰，因为说全球语的人同样能够轻松地理解他们正在阅读的东西。

In reading this book, all English-speakers are observing a “common ground” in action. Most probably as many as one and a half billion other people can read and understand this same book.

在阅读这本书的时候，所有说英语的人都注意到一个“中间地带”在起作用。很可能有多达十五亿人能够阅读并理解这同一本书。

Of course, at first it might seem that all English speakers can use Globish almost without thinking. However, English speakers who want to speak and write Globish must do four things: (1) use short sentences; (2) use words in a simple way; as any advertiser or politician knows; (3) use only the most common English words, and (4) help communication with body language and visual additions. Also, they must find ways to repeat what they decide is very important.

当然，最初看起来所有英语母语人士都能几乎不加思索的使用全球语。但想要说写全球语，英语母语人士必须做到以下四点：（1）使用短句；（2）以简单的方法使用词语，就像广告商和政治家那样；（3）使用最常见的英语词汇，（4）运用肢体语言及可视附件帮助交流。另外，他们必须寻找途径重复重要的事情。

Globish spelling is English spelling

全球语拼写是英语拼写

Most English speakers have trouble with their own spelling, because the English words come from many cultures. There are probably more exceptions to the rules than there are rules. Often, people learn to spell English words by memory: they memorize what the word looks like.

大多数英语母语人士自己的拼写都有问题，因为英语词汇来自许多不同文化。例外可能比规则还要多。通常，人们是通过记忆来学习拼写英语单词：他们记住某个词的样子。

Globish sounds like English

全球语听起来像英语

Globish speakers must learn to stress parts of words correctly. If the stress is correct, the word is most easily understood. It does not matter so much about the accent. And some sounds that are hard to make do not matter so much. A second problem in pronunciation is easier: the schwa sound can often be a substitute in most parts of words that are not stressed. (More in Chapter 16).

说全球语的人必须学习如何读准重音。如果一个词的重音发准了，那么就最容易被人理解。口音并没有那么重要。而且有些很难发出的单音也无关紧要。发音的第二个问题比较容易：中元音常常可以替代大多数非重读音节。（将在第16章中详细讨论）。

Globish uses the same letters, markings and numbers as English

全球语使用的字母，标点，和数字与英语相同

It also has the same days, months and other time and place forms.

而且星期，月份，以及其他表达时间和地点的格式也都是相同的。

Globish uses the basic grammar of English, with fewer Tenses, Voices, and Moods.

全球语使用英语的基本语法；而时态，语态，和语气种类都较少。
