我不知道人这一辈子,要经历过多少次这样甜美的相聚和忧伤的离别,才可以在心中安内静的等来一份真爱容。每一次无奈的回眸,每一次泪流的目送,都会多了一次次揉痛的思念和牵挂。就像喜欢冬的味道,你的味道,冰糖雪梨一样,在那些酸酸甜甜的回味中,真实的再现或诠释着一场爱情。或许这样的经历每个人都有,在酸甜交替的感觉中,延续着那份爱的美丽欢颜或淡淡地离愁。

I. 高一英语必修一第二单元课文翻译
课文什么题目?你也不说明白~~
现代英语的发展历程
16世纪末期,大约有五百万到七百万人说英语。几乎所有这些人都生活在英国。在随后的世纪,英国人开始航海并征服世界的其他地方。因此,英语开始在许多其他国家使用。如今,把英语作为第一,第二语言或外来语来说的人比以前任何时候都多。
以英语为母语的人能够相互交流,即使他们所讲的英语不尽相同。看这个示例:英国的贝蒂:你想去看看我的公寓吗?美国的埃米:是的,我想去拜访你的公寓。
那么,为什么英语经过一段时间会发生变化了呢?实际上当不同的文化互相沟通时,所有的语言都会发生变化和发展。首先在大约公元450年到1150年的英国,人们所说的英语和今天所说的英语就很不一样。比起现在我们说的英语它更大程度上是基于日耳曼语的。然后逐渐德在大约公元800年到1150年,英语变得不再那么像日耳曼语了,因为首先是被讲丹麦语的人统治后来是被讲法语的人统治。这些新定居者丰富了用于语言尤其是他的词汇。因此到了十七世纪莎士比亚能够使用比以往更丰富的词汇。在1620年一些英国人到美国定居。后来在18世纪一些英国人也被带到了澳大利亚。英语开始在这两个国家使用。
最后在19世纪这种语言确定下来。在那时英语的拼写发生了两个很大的变化:首先赛缪尔-约翰编写了他的词典,后来诺亚-韦伯斯特编写了《美国英语辞典》。后者体现了美国英语拼写的不同特色。
英语现在在南亚也被作为一门外语或第二语言使用。例如,印度就有很多人可以说流利的英语,因为英国在1765年到1947年统治着印度。那段时期英语成为政府和教育语言。英语还在新加坡和马来西亚以及像南非这样的非洲国家使用。今天在中国学习英语的人数正在快速的增长。实施上,中国可能拥有人数最多的英语学习者。中国英语会发展出自己的特色吗?只有时间可以证明。
