这就是所谓的"混杂语言"
And this pidgin was how they would talk.

他们会使用这种混杂语言来进行交流
And this pidgin was not a language.

而实际上混杂语言并不是一种语言
It was strings of words borrowed

问题是在这种社会中长大的儿童
who are raised in this society.

究竟会怎样

but they don't.

但事实并非如此
What happens is, in the course of a single generation,

实际情况是在一代人的时间里
they develop their own language.

他们创造出了属于自己的语言
