一、英譯中：請將下面這段英文譯成正確、流暢的中文（30 分）
Language evolution can be compared to biological evolution, but whereas
genetic change is driven by environmental pressures, languages change and
develop through social pressures. Over time, different groups of early
humans would have found themselves speaking different languages, and
then, in order to communicate with other groups – for trade, travel and so
on – it would have been necessary for some members of a family or band to
speak other tongues. In fact, multilingualism has been testified to have many
social, psychological and lifestyle advantages. However, we are now living
in a world that is losing languages faster than ever, at the current rate of one
a fortnight, and with the prospect that half our languages will be extinct by
the end of the century.

電子產品充電。這些多半是自由工作者，儘管有些人喜歡居家睡衣的辦
公模式，但在咖啡館工作還是比較划算。不過如此一來，小劉這樣小本
經營的商家就幾乎無利可圖。有一次他貼了告示，不再免費提供電源插
座，結果當天就有人在臉書上給他評了一星。
