Few disciplines are so strongly associated with a single figure: Einstein in physics and Freud inpsychology, perhaps. But Noam Chomsky is the man who revolutionised linguistics. Since he wrote “Syntactic Structures” in 1957, Mr Chomsky has argued that human language is fundamentally different from any other kind of communication, that a “linguist from Mars”would agree that all human languages are variations on a single language, and that children's incredibly quick and successful learning (despite often messy and inattentive parental input)points to an innate language faculty in the brain. These ideas are now widely accepted.
Too difficult I cant understand. Though I konw the meaning of the vocabulary, I cant translate the passage.

初步翻译：很少学科可以很紧密地和一个人相联系起来：或许物理学的爱因斯坦和精神界的佛洛依德可以。但是诺曼乔姆斯基是一个可以改变语言学科的人。自从他1957年撰写了“句子结构”一书后，乔姆斯基表明人类语言从根本上来说区别于任何形式的交流。
