Every language used daily by ordinary people is constantly changing. English is no exception. Perhaps one of the best ways to observe the changes in the English language is to read a passage that people have translated into English at different periods over the centuries.
English is only one of two or three dozen languages which seem to have a common ancestor. The language from which English developed is called indo-European (印欧语系 ). No one now alive has ever heard or read indo-European. We merely suppose it must have existed be cause of the resemblance (相似) of the languages that we think must have come from it.
English has probably borrowed more words from other languages than has any other language. Thousands of words from French and Latin have entered English vocabulary. The borrowing even continues today. The contacts first with American Indians and then with Spanish speaking people have enriched (使丰富) English greatly. Words from German and other
languages can be found in English, too. We can even find borrowed words in it from Arabian and Chinese.
