More than one in five American residents now speak a language other than English at home, according to new research based on 2016 US Census Bureau data.
根据基于美国人口普查局2016年的数据的最新研究显示,如今超过1/5的美国居民在家使用英语以外的语言。
The research, conducted by the Center for Immigration Studies, shows that a record 65.5 million US residents five years of age and older don't speak English at home.
由移民研究中心负责进行的这项研究显示,在家不说英语的5岁及以上的美国居民达到创纪录的6550万人。
Among them, 26.1 million (39.8%) told the US Census Bureau that they speak English less than very well. This figure is based entirely on the subjective opinion of the respondents.
其中,2610万人(39.8%)对美国人口普查局称自己英语讲得并不是很好。这一数字完全基于受访者的主观看法。

On an objective test of English literacy, prior CIS research showed that even among immigrants who have lived in the country for more than 15 years, 43 percent score at the "below basic" level, which is sometimes equated to functional illiteracy.
在一项有关英语读写能力的客观测试中,移民研究中心之前的研究显示,即使是在这个国家居住超过15年的移民,43%的人的得分“低于基本水平”,这有时等同于功能文盲。
Many Americans who speak a foreign language at home are not immigrants. The data show that overall, 44% (29 million) of those who speak a language other than English at home are US-born.
许多在家使用外语的美国人并不是移民。数据显示,总的来说,44%(2900万)的在家说外语的人是在美国出生的。
Of languages with more than 400,000 speakers, the largest percentage increases since 2010 were among speakers of Arabic (up 42%), Hindi (up 33%), Urdu (up 22%) and Chinese (up 20%).
在使用人口超过40万的语言中,2010年以来使用人数增幅最大的是阿拉伯语,增幅为42%,其次是印地语(33%)、乌尔都语(22%)和汉语(20%)。
