随社会

[Pedroski]

“语言学家告诉我们，语言 随 社会的产生 而产生，随社会的发展 而发展。”

 

语言 随 社会的产生 而产生，随社会的发展 而发展。

language followed society's emergence  and emerged, followed society's development and developed. 

 

Linguists tell us that language emerged on the heels of society's emergence and developed with the development of society.

翻译怎样？

[imron]

Think of it as 随…的产生 and 随…的发展 not 随社会.

 

 

 

翻译怎样？

The translation is ok, but not great because to me the repetition of those words makes the sentence sound clumsy.  Maybe consider something like:

 

Linguists tell us that language emerged and developed alongside society.
