問題詳情:
The English language is a result of the invasions of the island of Britain over many hundreds of years. The invaders lived along the northern coast of Europe.
36 The Angles were a German tribe who crossed the English Channel. Later two more groups crossed to Britain. They were the Saxons and the Jutes. Through many years, the Saxons, Angles and Jutes mixed their different languages. The result is what is called Anglo-Saxon or old English.
The next great invasion of Britain came from the far north beginning about l,100 years ago. People called Vikings came to the coastal areas of Britain. 37 Words like "sky" , "leg" , "skull" , "egg" , "lift" and "take" are from the old languages of the far northern countries.
The next invasion of Britain took place more than 900 years ago, in 1066. 38 William the Conqueror led it.
The Normans were a French-speaking people from Normandy in the north of France. They became the new rulers of Britain. These new rulers spoke only French for several hundred years. It was the most important language in the world at that time. 39 But the common people of Britain still spoke old English.
Old English took many words from the Norman French. Some of these include "damage", "prison" and "marriage". The French language used by the Norman rulers greatly changed the way English was spoken by 800 years ago. 40 Middle English sounds like modern English. But it is very difficult to understand now. The history of the English language continues as Middle English becomes Modern English, which is spoken today.
A. History experts call this invasion the Norman Conquest.
B. It was the language of educated people.
C. English became what language experts call Middle English.
D. Therefore most common people speak the language.
E. Few people spoke Middle English at that time.
F. Many English words used today come from these ancient Vikings.
G. The first invasions were by a people called Angles about l,500 years ago.
