26、化互相交流渗透时,所有的语言都会有所发展,有所变化。首先,在公元450年到1150年间,人们所说的英语跟今天所说的英语就很不一样。当时的英语更多地是以德语为基础的,而现代英语不是。然后,渐渐地,大约在公元800年到1150年期间,英语不那么像德语了。因为那时的英国的统治者起初讲丹麦语后来讲法语。这些新的定居者大大丰富了英语语言,特别是在词汇方面。所以到17世纪,莎士比亚所用的词汇量比以前任何时期都大。在1620年,一些英国人搬迁到美洲定居。后来,到了18世纪,有些英国人也被送往澳大利亚,两个国家的人都开始说英语了。 最后,到19世纪,英语才真正定形。那时,英语在拼写上发生了两大变化:首先,塞缪
27、尔约翰逊编写了词典,后来,诺厄韦伯斯特编纂了美国英语词典,后者体现了美国英语拼写的不同特色。 现在,英语在南亚也被当作外语或第二语言来说。比如说,印度拥有众多讲英语很流利的人,这是因为英国于1765年到1947年统治过印度。在那期间,英语成了官方语言和教育用语。在新加坡、马来西亚和非洲其它国家,比如南非,人们也说英语。目前在中国学习英语的人数正在迅速增长。事实上,中国可能拥有世界上最多的英语学习者。中国英语会发展出自己的特色吗?这只能由时间来回答了。译文1.petrol2.voyage3.gradually4.frequently5.identity6.the latter7.actually

37、早期的电台节目里,人们期望新闻播音员所说的英语是最好的英语。然而,在电视和收音机里,你也会听出人们在说话时的差异。 当人们用不同于“标准语言”的词语时,那就叫做方言。美国英语有许多方言,特别是中西部和南部地区的方言,以及黑人和西班牙人的方言。在美国有些地区,即使是相邻城镇的两个人所说的语言都可能稍有不同。美国英语之所以有这么多的方言是因为美国人是来自世界各地的缘故。 地理位置对方言的产生也有影响。住在美国东部山区的一些人说着比较古老的英语方言。当美国人从一个地方搬到另一个地方时,他们也就把他们的方言随着带去了。因此,美国东南部山区的人同美国西北部的人所说的方言就几乎相同。美国是一个使用多种方言
