The Original
since the time of Descartes, it is estimated that
no fewer than five hundred attempts have
been made to create artificial languages for
international use. The most successful by far
has been Esperanto, a language constructed
around the end of the nineteenth century by
Dr. Zamenhof of Poland. Esperanto is a
language that is extremely easy to learn and
speak, with its words drawn mainly from
English, German, the Romance languages,
Latin and Greek. (Pei, p.175)

The Paraphrase
Since the early nineteenth century, approximately
five hundred artificial languages have been
created for international communication.
Esperanto, a language invented around the end of
the nineteenth century in Poland by a man
named Dr. Zamenhof, has been the most
successful. Esperanto is very easy to learn and
speak. Its vocabulary comes from English,
German, the Romance languages, Latin and
Greek. (Pei, p.175)
Men and Machines

One great defect of our civilization is that it does not know what to
do with its knowledge. Science, as we have seen, has given us
powers fit for the gods, yet we use them like small children.
For example, we do not know how to manage our machines.
Machines were made to be mans servants; yet he has grown so
dependent on them that they are in a fair way to become his
masters. Already most men spend most of their lives looking after
and waiting upon machines. And the machines are very stern
masters. They must be fed with coal, and given petrol to drink, and
oil to wash with, and must be kept at the right temperature. And if
they do not get their meals when they expect them, they grow
sulky and refuse to work, or burst with rage, and blow up, and
spread ruin and destruction all round them. So we have to wait
upon them very attentively and do all that we can to keep them in a
good temper. Already we find it difficult either to work or play
without the machines, and a time may come when they will rule us
altogether, just as we rule the animals. (C.E.M. Joad)
Men and Machines

We do not know what to do with our knowledge.
Science has given us superhuman powers, which
we do not use it properly.
For instance, we are unable to manage our
machines. They were made as our servants but
they often become masters. We must serve
them. They should be fed with fuel and
maintained at the good condition; otherwise they
refuse to work or cause destruction. We wait and
keep them attentively. We already find it difficult
to do without machines. In the course of time
they may rule over us altogether. (C.E.M. Joad)
