The psychology of a language which, in one way or another, is imposed upon one because of factors beyond one's control, is very different from the psychology of a language which one accepts of one's free will.

  • -- Edward Sapir 爱德华·萨皮尔

一种语言的心理，以这样或那样的方式，由于无法控制的因素而强加于人，与一种语言的心理是非常不同的，这种语言的心理是一个人接受自己的自由意志。
