背英语单词词根的时候，一会说这个词根源于拉丁语，一会儿说那个学术词汇来源于希腊语，还有一些词汇来源是法语，老师跟我们说过一些源自英语，日语，法语，荷兰语的英语单词，这些都是英语语言的演变历史吧！能不能让我们有一个全面直观的学习机会~~？
这是个问题！
这需要先了解英国的历史，是一个漫长的过程。不过在这个新媒体时代也许能有简单易懂的办法。今天的主题定为英语词汇中外来词的比例和引入过程吧！
英语语言的历史
The history of the English language began over 1500 years ago in the north of Europe. Around the fifth century A.D., tribes of people known as the Angels, Saxons, and Jutes traveled west from Germany and Denmark across the North Sea. They settled in Britain, and by the late seventh century, they were speaking an early form of the English.
英语的历史从1500多年前的北欧开始。公元5世纪左右，盎格鲁人， 撒克逊人和朱特人的部落从德国和丹麦一路向西，横渡北海，最终迁入英国。7世纪末以前，他们讲早期的英语。
In the late eighth century, the Vikings attacked England. Fighting continued for almost two hundred years. During this time, many Latin, Danish, and Norse words entered the English language. Latin gave English words like kitchen and cup. From Danish and Norse, English borrowed skin, leg, and the pronouns them, their, and they. Many synonyms from the Norse language was integrated into English, for example, wrath(English), anger(Norse), sick(English), ill(Norse).
8世纪末，斯堪地那维亚人攻占英国。 战争持续了将近200年。 在这个时期，很多拉丁语、丹麦和古斯堪地那维亚的单词融入英语。象炊具和杯子 源于拉丁语。从丹麦语和古斯堪地那维亚语中，英国人借鉴过来了皮肤、腿、以及各种词格的代词'他们'、'他们的'。来自古斯堪地那维亚语的很多同义词统一到英语中，例如，愤怒(英语的wrath和古斯堪的那维亚语的anger)；生病(英语的sick和古斯堪地那维亚语的ill)。
In 1066, the Normans conquered England. French became the language of the wealthy and powerful, and English was spoken mostly by poorer people. In the late fourteenth century, English became the first language again. By this time, many words used in English came from French or Latin, and a lot of the early words no longer existed.
1066年，诺曼人征服英国。法语成为富人的语言和强有力的象征，但穷人主要讲英语。 在14世纪末，英语再次成为第一语言。此时，英国人使用的很多词汇来自法语或者拉丁语，并且许多早期的词汇已经不复存在。
In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, people became interested in the classics. At this time, words from Latin and Greek were included in the English language. A lot of words, or parts of words, from those languages are used in modern English.
16和17世纪期间，人们对古典作品感兴趣。在这个时期，来自拉丁语和希腊语的词汇被归入英语。许多词汇或者单词的组成部分，从那些语言被用现代英语引进使用。
