However, Ukrainian Belarusian and Russian still carry large degrees of mutual intelligibility today.

然而，乌克兰语、白俄罗斯语和俄语直到今天仍然具有极大的理解互通性。

It seems reasonable that the degree of mutual intelligibility would determine whether two ways of speaking are classified as separate languages or as dialects of the same language.

以能够互相理解的程度来定义看起来比较合理，用这种标准，可以将两个不同的语音定义为语言，或是将其定义为同一语言下的方言。
