DBBC foreign correspondent Jeremy Bowen's recent assignment-a three-part series onRadio 4 in which he made"a personal journey through Wales",the country of his birth -muststill have left him a little shocked.Bowen,born in Cardiff but living in England and a non-Welshspeaker,did the most dangerous thing-he attacked what he saw as the way the Weish-speakingminority in Wales dominates the cultural conversation.This argument has not gone down well inthe land of his fathers.The Welsh online media has suggested this is the view from Camberwell where Bowenlives,rather than Criccieth-a journalist's whistle-stop tour of a country he last resided in morethan 40 years ago.Fellow BBC journalist Welsh speaker Huw Edwards responded to thatcriticism:"We are all products of upbringing-this take is 1970s Cardiff."Edwards was evenruder about an attack on Welsh by Jonathan Meades in The Critic."So long as it's a hobbylanguage it is as harmless as a Sunday painter,"wrote Meades."But in pockets of Snowdonia andmid-Wales it is a tool not only of communication but of identity and exclusivity,thus ofself-harm."To which Edwards responded:"Meades is a brilliant writer and I have enjoyed hiswork over many years.I can only assume he's crazy.Nothing else can explain this rubbish."Bowen's argument is that because bilingualism (has become essential for many jobsin Welsh government and media,the English-speaking majority has been disadvantaged.Meadesis more concerned with a project to create a million Welsh speakers(a third of the population)by2050.At present,only a fifth of the population speaks Welsh regularly.Such views are,however,either outdated or exaggerated(夸张的).Largely rural Welsh-speaking Wales was discovering new confidence,thanks to the start ofthe Welsh-language channel S4C in 1982 and the growth of Welsh-medium education.ButWelsh-speaking Wales is not responsible for the difficulties of English-speaking Wales,and thetwo have to find a way to coexist.The survival of Welsh is a miracle,and every Welsh person,whether or not they speak it,should celebrate that fact.32.Why was Bowen recently shocked?A.He had a narrow escape in Wales.B.He was refused entry into his fatherlandC.He was assigned to do a series about Wales.D.He was criticized for his Radio program about Wales.33.What was Edwards'attitude toward Meades'comments?A.Disapproving.B.Supportive.C.Tolerant.D.Uncaring.英语试卷第8页（共12页）
