英語(yǔ)已經(jīng)有了1500多年的歷史了,在這1500年間蘸拔,每一次歷史的巨變都為英語(yǔ)引入了大量外來(lái)詞匯师郑,隨著歷史的進(jìn)程,這些英語(yǔ)詞匯不斷完善和變更调窍,最終形成了今天的語(yǔ)言形態(tài)宝冕。
追溯英語(yǔ)的發(fā)展,我們通常將它分為三個(gè)時(shí)期: 1 古英語(yǔ)時(shí)期(450~1100) 2 中古英語(yǔ)時(shí)期(1100~1500) 3 近代英語(yǔ)時(shí)期(1500~邓萨?)
Tracing the development of English, we can divide it into three periods: 1.Old English period (450~1100)2.Middle English period (1100~1500)3. Modern English period (1500~Present)
1.
公元5世紀(jì)地梨,三個(gè)日耳曼部落入侵英國(guó)。這幾個(gè)部落分別是:盎格魯人缔恳,撒克遜人和朱特人宝剖。入侵英國(guó)的這幾個(gè)日耳曼部落,其語(yǔ)言基本相近歉甚,這些語(yǔ)言的融合形成了我們現(xiàn)在稱的古英語(yǔ)⊥蛳福現(xiàn)代英語(yǔ)最常用的詞語(yǔ)中,大約就有一半起源于古英語(yǔ)纸泄。例如be,strong和water赖钞。
In the 5th century AD, three Germanic tribes invaded England. The tribes are the Angles, the Saxons and the Jutes. The languages of these Germanic tribes were basically similar, and the fusion of these languages formed what we now call Old English. About half of the most commonly used words in modern English originated from Old English, such as 'be','strong' and 'water'.

1066年腰素,諾曼底公爵威廉率兵征服了英國(guó)。在諾曼征服后雪营,可以算是古英語(yǔ)時(shí)期的結(jié)束弓千。諾曼人的入侵對(duì)英語(yǔ)有顯著的沖擊,為英語(yǔ)帶來(lái)了大量的法語(yǔ)詞匯献起,這使得現(xiàn)代英語(yǔ)中存現(xiàn)大量的同義/近義詞洋访。In 1066, Duke William with his army from Normandy invaded England.After the Norman Conquest, it could be regarded as the end of the Old English period. The Norman Conquest had a significant impact on English and brought a large number of French words to English, which led to the existence of a large number of synonyms in modern English.
3.現(xiàn)代英語(yǔ)一般分為早期現(xiàn)代英語(yǔ)與后期現(xiàn)代英語(yǔ)。早期現(xiàn)代英語(yǔ)時(shí)期谴餐,對(duì)英語(yǔ)詞匯的影響最大的是文藝復(fù)興運(yùn)動(dòng)姻政。在這一時(shí)期,強(qiáng)調(diào)研究古代希臘总寒、羅馬文化扶歪,以對(duì)抗中世紀(jì)的封建文化。于是許多外來(lái)詞摄闸,主要是拉丁語(yǔ)和希臘語(yǔ)的詞語(yǔ)傳入英語(yǔ),成為英語(yǔ)的書面語(yǔ)和術(shù)語(yǔ)詞的基本部分妹萨。同時(shí)也為英語(yǔ)提供了大量的同義詞年枕。早期現(xiàn)代英語(yǔ)與晚期現(xiàn)代英語(yǔ)的主要區(qū)別是詞匯。晚期現(xiàn)代英語(yǔ)增加了許多詞匯乎完,這主要有兩個(gè)因素:首先熏兄,工業(yè)革命的出現(xiàn)需要更多的新詞;其次,英帝國(guó)在其鼎盛時(shí)期覆蓋了地球大約四分之一的面積树姨,英語(yǔ)從許多其他國(guó)家吸收了很多新詞摩桶。
Modern English is generally divided into Early Modern English and Advanced Modern English. In the Early Modern English period, it was the Renaissance that had the greatest influence on English vocabulary. During this period, emphasis was placed on the study of ancient Greek and Roman cultures in order to counter the feudal culture of the Middle Ages. As a result, many loanwords, mainly Latin and Greek, were introduced into English and became the basic part of the written language and terminology of English. At the same time, it also provided a large number of synonyms for English. The main difference between Early Modern English and Advanced Modern English is vocabulary. Advanced modern English was added many words, which were mainly due to two factors: First, the emergence of the Industrial Revolution needed more new words. Second, the British Empire covered about 1/4 of the earth in its heyday, which made English? absorb a lot of new words from many other countries .
