A common creation demands a common sacrifice, and perhaps not the least potent argument in favour of a constructed international language is the fact that it is equally foreign, or apparently so, to the traditions of all nationalities.

-- Edward Sapir 爱德华·萨皮尔

一种共同的创造需要共同的牺牲，也许支持一种建构的国际语言的最有力的论据是，它对所有民族的传统都是同样陌生的，或者显然是如此。
