A record 64.7 million people living in the United States last year spoke a language other than English at home, an increase fueled both by immigration and a growing number of native-born Americans who speak other languages.
有报告指出,2015年,有6470万美国居民在家不讲英语,越来越多的移民和土生土长的美国人讲英语以外的语言。
The numbers come in a report released Tuesday by the Center for Immigration Studies. The 64.7 million figure is up 8.7 percent from five years earlier and has more than doubled since 1990.
该数据来自美国研究中心周四公布的报告中,6470万这一人数比五年前增长了8.7%,是1990年的两倍多。
The share of U.S. residents speaking languages other than English at home, just 11 percent in 1980, is now 21.5 percent. Some 44 percent of them, nearly 28.5 million people, were born in the United States. And they are not all children — 64.3 percent of American-born adults still speak the language of their parents at home.“The level of immigration is so high and many people who were speaking non-English languages at home.” said Steven Camarota, director of research at the Center for Immigration Studies.
美国居民在家里说非英语的比例在1980年只有11%,目前达到21.5%。其中约44%的人,近2850万人,出生于美国。这些人并不都是孩子。64.3%在美国出生的成年人在家里依然说他们父母国家的语言。移民研究中心主任史蒂文·卡马罗塔说:“移民的比例很高,很多人在家不说英语。”
