Esperanto was invented as an international language one hundred years ago by a doctor in Poland. His name was Ludovic Zamenhof. Doctor Zamenhof grew up in a part of Poland. People there spoke several different languages. He believed the different languages .stopped people from understanding
each other and living happily together. He wished that everyone in his part of Poland spoke the same language .He believed that if everyone spoke a common language, the world would be peacefull（和平的），That’s why he gave the world a new language. He called it “Esperanto”. Doctor Zamenhof tried to make Espetanto so easy that anyone could learn it in one hundred hours. It’s easy to learn because it has only sixteen. rules（规则）.and his alphabet（字母表）is simple, too. Each letter has only one sound . No one knows how many people in the world speak Esperanto .But they say the number could be as many as fifteen million now. People hope that Esperanto someday will become the international language for business science, and diplomacy (外交). ——节选自《美国风情录》 66.Esperanto is ___________
