諾姆·喬姆斯基是美國作家、演說家、語言學(xué)家、哲學(xué)家以及政治評論家。他是麻省理工學(xué)院頂級語言學(xué)教授。他的理論完全改變了教師對于語言習(xí)得的理解。他還是一名多產(chǎn)的研究型作家。他的著作引用度超過了所有在世作家。
Chomsky was born in 1928 in Pennsylvania, USA. The young Noam got into writing and politics at a very early age. When he was 10, he wrote an essay on the threat of fascism during the Spanish Civil War. Needless to say, he was a gifted student and he followed current events very closely. He graduated with an MA in philosophy and linguistics.
1928年，喬姆斯基出生于美國賓夕法尼亞。并從很早就開始接觸寫作和政治。10歲那年正值西班牙內(nèi)戰(zhàn)，他寫了一篇關(guān)于納粹主義威脅的文章。他天賦異稟，并緊隨當(dāng)今時事。并獲得語言學(xué)和哲學(xué)碩士學(xué)位。
Chomsky received his Ph.D. in linguistics in 1955. His thesis helped shape today’s understanding of what language is and how we all learn it so naturally. He joined the teaching staff of MIT in 1955 and has remained there to this day. Chomsky has spent decades there researching and writing on language, psychology and politics and has influenced hundreds of researchers and academics.
1955年，喬姆斯基獲得語言學(xué)博士學(xué)位。他的理論形成了我們對語言的了解，以及自然學(xué)習(xí)法。1955年，他開始在麻省理工任教，并一直到今天。喬姆斯基用了數(shù)十年時間著書論說，他在語言、政治以及心理方面的論述也影響了數(shù)百位學(xué)者。
Chomsky is a fierce critic of US foreign policy and continually questions the misuse of American power. He has strongly opposed all wars from Vietnam to Iraq. He is largely shunned by the media in the United States for being unpatriotic and has received death threats. However, he is in high demand for his ideas and speeches around the world.
喬姆斯基也是美國外交政策的有力批判者，并一直對美國濫用權(quán)力表示質(zhì)疑。從越戰(zhàn)到伊拉克戰(zhàn)爭，他反對所有戰(zhàn)爭。因無愛國情深，他的曝光度不高，還曾收到死亡恐嚇。然而，他的理論和演說風(fēng)靡全球。
