Hoping to discover what language a child would speak if he heard no mother tongue he told the nurses to keep silent.
即使是跟在保姆身边一溜小跑着牙牙学语的时候，我尚且怀念从前不用走路、有辆小童车可坐的美好时光。
Even while I trotted prattling by my burse's side I regretted that good old days when I had, and wasn't, a perambulator.
比如儿童可能首先从保姆或长辈那儿学另一种语，后来才学会他们认为是自己本族语的语言。
Children may, for instance, first acquire some lnowledge of another lan-guage from a nurse or an older relative and only later on acquire a second one which they consider their native language.
