first language 和 native language 的区别

Question

如题所述

Answer 1

first language
N-COUNT 母语;第一语言 Someone's first language is the language that they learned first and speak best; used especially when someone speaks more than one language.
one's native language; the language learned by children and passed from one generation to the next

native language
本族语 the language that a person has spoken from earliest childhood

两个词的意思几乎一样，从first language的英文解释上就能看出来(one's native language)。稍有区别的是，first language强调了learned first and speak best（最先学且说的最好），而native language强调的是spoken from earliest childhood（最早的孩童时代说的语言）。

Answer 2

native language 是母语,但不一定会说
好像很多华人,母语是汉语,但他们不会说阿.
first language 就是第一语言,肯定会说的,但不一定是母语.
