在这部纪录片里,Stephen Fry会带领我们探索如何学习语言,如何写字,为什么有时会觉得难以表达……1)Babel 在第一集中,Stephen向我们揭示了人类语言的起源以及为什么我们是唯一拥有语言能力的物种,通过教猩猩说话、将人类语言基因植入白鼠等实验说明人脑与语言间的独特联系; 2)Identity 我们所讲的语言表明了我们的特征,甚至体现出阶级差异。同时Stephen还探索了英语全球化势不可挡的原因;3)Uses and Abuses 在语言的使用过程中,往往混杂着咒骂等一些不好的词汇。Stephen做了一次核磁共振扫描后发现我们大脑中有一部分是与粗话相联系的,妥瑞综合症和中风患者就不能说粗话;4)Spreading the World 书写让知识的保存和传递得以进行,第四集中Stephen将为我们介绍字母的来源和演化;5)The Power and The Glory 讲故事是人类表达自己情感、相互沟通的方式。通过与作家的交流,Stephen将告诉我们怎样写出更加引人入胜的故事。
