三分之二的英国人不会说外语 single, 外语, anything, included, foreign

Two-thirds of Britions(britisher) cannot say anything in a foreign language -with one fifth even unsure of what "bonjouy"means ,a study claims.
The findings appear to confirm the cliche about Birtons(britisher) being notoriously bad at making an effort to speak the lingo when abroad.
Overall ,64 percent of those polled admitted they did not know a single word in any language other than English.
Reasons for not trying to speak a local language included not being bothered ,fear of making a mistake or expecting hosts to be able to speak English.

Do not let this influence you.In our upwardly mobile society,if we don't have so many working abilities and language tips,we can lose a lot of opportunities.

    With one fifth even unable.....这里的五分之一应该是指这三分之二中的五分之一吧？
