Giuseppe Mezzofanti was an Italian who was perhaps the best language learner ever.
He has learned many languages (1)
himself and can speak more than 38 languages fluently(流利地).He has never left Italy (2)
he learned to speak these languages without any accent(口音,土音).People from all over the world came to communicate with him in their own mother tongues.All of them (3)
by his fluency.
When Mezzofanti was 12,he spoke his native(本地的)tongue,Italian,as well as German,Greek,Latin,and at least five other languages.Then he (4)
Arabic,Russian,Hindi,Old English and Maltese.He also learned Chinese.This was the(5)
language for him to learn--it took him four months.
Some stories say he also spoke 30 other languages quite(6)
and that he could understand another 20 ( for example,Tibetan and Icelandic).
Another story says that he heard a conversation of two(7)
in a prison in Rome.Then he learned their languages in one night and spoke to(8)
the next morning.
It's hard (9)
if all these stories were true.Some people,for example,ask, "How did he learn Old English without meeting anyone(10)
spoke it?" or "Did he really learn a language in a few weeks or even in one night?" We don't know for sure,but we can say for certain that Giuseppe Mezzofanti has become a language-learning legend(傳說).
