英语翻译
English words don’t stay the same.People need new words for new ideas and new inventions.Different words come into use,or older words are used in a new way.
English can change by borrowing words from other languages.The word “tomato” was borrowed from Mexico and “tea” came from China and so on.Now new space and science words are being borrowed from other countries,too.New words are formed by adding two words together.“Countryside” and “earthquake” are made up of two parts.Sometimes new words are shorter forms of older words.The word “photo” was made from “photograph” by cutting off the end of the longer word.“plane” was made by cutting off the front part of “airplane”.The names of people and products can become new words,too.Our “sandwich” was named after a man Sandwich and “sello”(透明胶带)was a name given by the company that first made the product.
英语单词会发生变化.人们需要新的单词去表达新的观点和发明.于是便开始使用不同的单词,或者旧的单词产生新的用法.英语可以通过引进其他语言中的单词进行扩展.譬如,“tomato”这个单词就是由墨西哥引入,而“tea”这个词是由中国而来.现在还从其他国家引入新的空间科学词汇.此外,把两个单词组合成一个新的单词也是产生新的单词的方法.“Countryside” 和“earthquake”就是这样组成.有时候还可以通过旧词缩写形成新的单词.“photo” 就是 “photograph” 的缩写.“airplane”去掉前半部分就是“plane” .另外,人名和产品名字也可以成为新词.“sandwich”就是由一个叫 Sandwich 的人而来.“sello”(透明胶带)是首先生产这种产品的企业名字来命名的.
