相信大家都明白这样一个道理：想要学好英语，必须不断的，大量的吸收和积累，那么雅思阅读无疑是这样的一种“输入”过程，因此，小编每天会根据剑桥真题中阅读的主题为大家节选一段相关文章，并作相关注解，希望对大家的词汇句型积累有所帮助。今天，我们来看下雅思阅读拓展之拯救中国濒危语言。
Basically, we're trying to document the way Chinese people actually speak at home. We're then going in and analyzing the recordings of them speaking, eventually building up a database of linguistic features that will be able to be displayed dynamically. So, for example, you could go in and see all the different words used for "wok" in different dialects, or see variations in how Mandarin dialects pronounce ránhòu (nahou in Taiwan, zãho in Shanghai). Then all of this will be shown on dynamic maps. We're probably a year away from having this fully set up and usable. The core of the system is in place, but we only have one developer working on the whole system.
At the same that we're looking at documenting dialects, we're also attempting to do something to record oral histories of a time in Asia where there was a lot going on that people outside of the area might not be aware of. A lot of these stories are important to people in China. We want to be providing something for the general public in China, and so we're working with folklorists and oral historians at Chinese universities to this end.

二、 长难句解析：
1. We're then going in and analyzing the recordings of them speaking, eventually building up a database of linguistic features that will be able to be displayed dynamically.
然后我们会对这些录音进行跟进和分析，最终建立可以动态展示的语言特征的数据库。
这句话的主语是we，宾语是analyzing，谓语是recordings，that引导的定语从句修饰linguist features。
2. At the same that we're looking at documenting dialects, we're also attempting to do something to record oral histories of a time in Asia where there was a lot going on that people outside of the area might not be aware of.
我们关注方言记录的同时，我们也试图记录亚洲地区某一段时期的口头历史，这一时期可能会发生很多故事，而这些故事是那些亚洲地区以外的人们很可能无法意识到的。
在这个句子中，时间状语中的that引导了一个定语从句修饰time，但是time省略了，we作主语，attempting to do something to record是谓语， oral histories是宾语，where引导的定语从句修饰Asia。
