“日语中有一个词兼具绿色和蓝色的含义。俄语中则对深蓝和浅蓝有不同的词汇。这是否意味着俄罗斯人对这些颜色的感知与日本人不同？语言是否控制并限制了我们的思维方式，以至于每种语言都会赋予其使用者不同的‘世界观’？这本观点鲜明的书探讨了Sapir-Whorf hypothesis——该假说认为我们所说的语言塑造了我们感知世界的方式。语言学家John McWhorter指出，尽管这一观点引人入胜，却完全是错误的……McWhorter不仅展示了将语言视作透镜这一观念如何

你说得对，萨丕尔-沃尔夫假说已经被彻底证伪了。关于这点，语言学家约翰·麦克沃特（John McWhorter）写的《语言骗局》（The Language Hoax）是一本好书。它至今阴魂不散的主要原因，在于总有人拿它来支撑左翼意识形态观点，认为人性完全是社会化的产物，而且……
You're right, the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis has been thoroughly disproved. A good book on this is The Language Hoax by linguist John McWhorter. The main reason it still hangs on is that it is used by people to try to support the left-wing ideological idea that human nature is entirely a product of socialization, and…
……和我们的思维方式相同，只是在这些特定话题上没有那么丰富的表达方式。如果有人对更多语言学奇闻，或者对语言相对论可能带来的危害感兴趣，我推荐约翰·麦克沃特（John McWhorter）的《语言骗局》（The Language Hoax）一书，YouTube上还有一个一小时的配套讲座[0]。这本书以务实的角度探讨了关于语言如何影响我们思维方式的最新研究，并指出了……
…way we do but don't have as expressive language for these particular topics. For anybody interested in more linguistic oddities and/or the damage linguistic relativism can do I recommend the book 'The Language Hoax' by John McWhorter, there's also an hour long talk on it available on Youtube [0]. The book deals with the more recent studies on how language affects the ways we think in a grounded way and shows how…
这些论点不是我独创的，主要来自约翰·麦克沃特（John McWhorter）那本精彩的书《语言骗局》（The Language Hoax）。我本该在原评论里注明出处的，但现在要改已经有点太晚了。在书中他对语言相对论持非常强硬的反对态度，并论证了……
I can't take credit for the arguments made, they mostly come form the excellent book 'The Language Hoax' by John McWhorter, I should have referenced this in the original comment but it's a bit too late to edit it. In the book he takes a very hard stance against linguistic relativism and demonstrates the…
约翰·麦克沃特（John McWhorter）的书《语言骗局》（<i>The Language Hoax</i>）解释了语言学研究人员发现萨丕尔-沃尔夫假说根本就是错的。
John McWhorter's book <i>The Language Hoax</i> explains the linguistic researchers have found that the sapir-whorf hypothesis is just wrong.
我首先想到的就是约翰·麦克沃特（John McWhorter）的书《语言骗局》（[The Language Hoax](https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/18579574)），他在书里反驳了萨丕尔-沃尔夫假说。我觉得他在那本书里也谈到了这种现象。
First thought was of John McWhorter's book [The Language Hoax](https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/18579574), where he refutes Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. I think in that book he talks about this phenomenon too.
约翰·麦克沃特（John McWhorter）有本探讨这个的书，叫《语言骗局：为什么世界在任何语言中看起来都一样》（The Language Hoax: Why the World Looks the Same in Any Language），他在书里对萨丕尔-沃尔夫假说极度怀疑，特别是那种嗑嗨了的语言学论调，“要是我们整个人、都特么是由语言构成的呢，老兄”，因为这种……
John McWhorter has a book about this called The Language Hoax: Why the World Looks the Same in Any Language in which he's extremely skeptical of Sapir-Worf, particularly the sort of stoner linguistics "what if we're all, like, made of language maaaaaan" as it's…
