📖 題組：
For most of its history, America was precisely the “polyglot boardinghouse” Teddy Roosevelt once worried it would become. That history has turned out very well not just for America, but for English—the most successful language in the history of the world. 31 with American power, English has spread around the globe. At home, wave after wave of immigrants to America have not only learned English but 32 the languages their parents brought with them. Today the typical pattern is that the arriving generation speaks little English, or learns it 33 ; the first children born in America are 34 , but English-dominant, and their children hardly speak the 35 language. This is as true of Hispanics as it is of speakers of smaller languages.

請觀察文章後半段提到的「代際演變模式」：從第一代不諳英語，到第三代幾乎無法溝通原本的母語。在這種「英語主導」的社會融合壓力下，原本的母語能力隨著世代交替，通常會呈現什麼樣的自然消退結果？
