But our findings are based on research and not on any personal feelings. ”Captain Thomas James，an Army lecturer for the past 20 years and himself a father of two，said，“Ive never heard of such rubbish.

26、e EU，the Treaty of Rome，stated that each countrys language must be treated equally. The 0riginal six countries had only three languages between them：French，German and DutchFlemish. However，there are now 15 countries in the EU，with a total of 12 languages. EU documents must be translated into all the
27、se languages，and at official meetings，the speeches must be translated into all the languages by interpreters.All this translating is very expensive and time consuming(費時的). it is said$that nearly half of all employees of the EU are engaged in translating documents and speeches，and nearly half of the
