　　最近，一些地方大學(xué)開始將方言列為某些學(xué)生的必修課程，學(xué)生們要學(xué)習(xí)當(dāng)?shù)胤窖�，然后被評分以作為畢業(yè)的依據(jù)之一。一方面，支持此種做法的人認為，將方言列為必修課可防止其消失，從而使當(dāng)?shù)貍鹘y(tǒng)文化和文化多樣性得以弘揚，同時城市獨特的個性得以保留。另一方面，反對此種做法的人爭論說，當(dāng)?shù)貙W(xué)生與外地學(xué)生相比有很多絕對優(yōu)勢，因此將方言列為必修課會引起教育不公平的問題。而且，將方言列為必修課程還會引起一些其他問題，如教材使用、師資問題和考試標(biāo)準(zhǔn)等。在我看來，方言作為傳統(tǒng)文化不可缺少的一部分和一種交流工具，可以讓學(xué)生自愿學(xué)習(xí)和使用，而不是強制完成。

　　Recently, it has been practiced by some local universities that dialect is made a compulsory course for some students, under which students are subject to learning the local dialect and then graded as one of the judging factors for them to graduate. On the one hand, people approving the practice maintain that it will help to prevent the dialect from extinguishing so that the local traditional culture and the cultural diversity can be enhanced, and the unique urban identity can be preserved simultaneously. On the other hand, people in opposition to the practice contend that it will give rise to the appearance of educational inequality, for the local students will enjoy absolute advantages over those from other places. Moreover, the inclusion of dialect in compulsory courses will bring forth other problems like teaching material, teachers and examination standards. As far as I am concerned, dialects, as an indispensable part of local traditional culture as well as a tool for communication, can be acquired and used voluntarily, not compulsorily.
