隨著女性地位的提高，中性詞匯的使用逐漸普及并改寫著現代語言，然而法國議會近日提出的一項法案卻認為應該禁用中性詞匯，從而保護法國語言不受威脅。

France could ban 'confusing' gender inclusive words under a new law proposed by 60 MPs.

根據60名議員提出的新法案，法國可能會禁用“令人困惑的”中性詞匯。

?

The MPs argue that the gender inclusive nouns make learning proper French more difficult and could even endanger the entire language.

議員們主張說，中性詞匯會加大學習正規法語的難度，甚至可能威脅到整門語言。

?

The new legislation was proposed by MP Fran?ois Jolivet and close allies of President Emmanuel Macron.

這項新法案由法國議員弗朗索瓦·若利韋和總統埃馬紐埃爾·馬克龍的幾位親近盟友提出。

?

The MPs claim that the gender neutral words 'create a gap between the spoken language and written language.'

議員們指出，中性詞匯“在口語和書面語之間劃下了一道鴻溝?！?/p>

?

'It is therefore the whole of French linguistic heritage which risks disappearing,' they said in a statement quoted by the Telegraph.

《每日電訊報》援引議員的聲明稱：“整個法語遺產都會因此冒上消失的風險?！?/p>

?

'The fight for equality between women and men is fair. The road it takes is sometimes confusing.

“男女追求平等的斗爭是公平的。但是有時候會走上一條令人困惑的路?！?/p>

?

'Do the rules of grammar no longer exist?'

“語法規則不存在了嗎？”

?

Concerns have also been raised over the accessibility of the grammar changes for people who are blind or have learning difficulties.

還有些人擔心盲人或學習有困難的人可能無法獲知語法規則的改變。

?

The proposed law will be debated in the national assembly in the coming weeks.

法國議會將在未來幾周討論這項提案。

?

Proponents of 'écriture inclusive' argue that it prevents the erasure of females from the French language.

支持中性語言的人指出，中性語言將防止女性指代義在法語中被抹除。

?

Currently, a French grammar rule taught in schools dictates that the masculine plural of nouns 'always wins'.

目前在學校教授的法語語法規則指出，法語中表示名詞復數時，陽性單詞“總是勝出”。

?

The masculine plural of friends, 'amis', is used to refer to both women and men, even if the majority of the group is female.

以朋友一詞的復數為例，陽性單詞amis可用來指代男性和女性朋友的復數，即使這個群體的大多數為女性。

?

The feminine plural, 'amies', would only be used if everyone in the group was female.

陰性單詞amies只有在群體中的所有人都是女性時才能使用。
