The international success of the Swedish group Abba, who were contemporary with Teresa Teng, just goes to prove to what extent the English language has become the exclusive medium of the global pop-music industry over the last thirty years, a phenomenon matched equally by its unrivaled position as the language of science and technology.
而與鄧麗君同時期的瑞典英語歌樂團 ABBA 之風靡，更證明瞭過去三十年來英語如何地壟斷了流行音樂市場。英語在科技語言中也享有這樣的獨佔性與排他性。
