10、bout five to seven million people spoke English. Nearly all of them lived in England. Later in the next century, people from England made voyages to conquer other parts of the world and because of that, English began to be spoken in many other countries. Today, more people speak English as their fir

11、st, second or foreign language than ever before. 通向現(xiàn)代英語之路 在 16 世紀末，大約有五 至七百萬人講英語。幾乎所有這些講英語的人都住在英 格 蘭。在其后的一個世紀中，英格蘭人為征服世界航海到了世 界其他一些地方， 結果世界的其他地方的人們也開始說英 語了。今天，把英語作為自己的第一語 言、第二語言或外 語來使用的 人比以往 任何時候 都多。 Native English speakers can understand each other even if they don't speak the same kind of Engl

12、ish. Look at this example: British Betty: Would you like to see my flat? American Amy: Yes, I ' d like to come up to your apartment.以英 語作為母語的人，即使他們所講不是同一種英語，他們也能 彼此聽懂。請 看看這個例子： 英國人貝蒂：來看看我的公 寓嗎？ 美國人艾米： 好的，我來看看你的公寓吧。 So why has English changed over time? Actually all languages change and develop w

13、hen cultures meet and communicate with each other. At first the English spoken in England between about AD 450 and 1150 was very different from the English spoken today. It was based more on German than the English we speak at present. Then gradually between about AD 800 and 1150, English became les

14、s like German because those who ruled England spoken first Danish and later French. These new settlers enriched the English language and especially its vocabulary. So by the 1600 ' s Shakespeare was able to make use of a wider vocabulary than ever before. In 1620 some British settlers moved to A

15、merica. Later in the 18th century some British people were taken to Australia too. English began to be spoken in both countries. 那么， 隨著時間的推移英語為什么發(fā)生了變化呢？實際上，當不同 文化相互交 流滲透時，所有的語言都會有所發(fā)展和變化。開始， 英格蘭人在大約公元 450 年到 1150 年之間所說的英語與我們今天所說的英語很不一樣。當時的英語更多 的 是以德語為基礎的， 不像我們現(xiàn)在說的英語。 后來， 大 約在公元 800 年至 1150 年之間， 英語慢慢變

16、得不那么像 德語，因為統(tǒng)治英格蘭的那些人開始是說丹麥 語，后來說 法語。這些新來的定居者豐富了英語語言，尤其是豐富了英 語詞匯。 所以到 17 世紀初的時候， 莎士比亞能夠得以使 用比以往任何時候都豐富的詞匯。 1620 年一些英國定居者 來到了美洲， 后來到了 18 世紀的時候， 一些英國人還被 帶 到了澳大利亞。 英語也就開始在這兩個國家使用。 Finally by the 19th century the language was settled. At that time two big changes in English spelling happened: first Samue

17、l Johnson wrote his dictionary and later Noah Webster wrote The American Dictionary of the English Language. The latter gave a separate identity to American English spelling. 最后到 19 世紀的時候， 英語這種語言就變得穩(wěn)定了。當時，英語的拼寫發(fā)生了 兩 個很大的變化：先是塞繆爾約翰遜編寫了他的英語詞典，后是諾亞韋伯斯特出版了美國英語詞典。后者使得美式英語的拼寫有了其獨特的個性。English now is also s

18、poken as a foreign or second language in South Asia. For example, India has a very large number of fluent English speakers because Britain ruled India from 1765 to 1947. During that time English became the language for government and education. English is also spoken in Singapore and Malaysia and co

19、untries in Africa such as South Africa. Today the number of people learning English in China is increasing rapidly. In fact, China may have the largest number of English learners. Will Chinese English develop its own identity?Only time will tell.現(xiàn)在英語在南亞地區(qū)也被作為外語或第二語言使用。比如，印度就有很多人說 英語說得很流利， 因為在 1765 年

20、到 1947 年之間英國統(tǒng)治著印度。在此期 間， 英語成了印度政府和教育所用的語言。在新加坡和馬 來西亞以及像非洲的南非， 人們現(xiàn)在也說英語。當今，在 中國學英語的人數(shù)正在快速增加，事實上，中國 可能是學 英語人數(shù)最多的國家。中國式英語是否也能發(fā)展成一種具有 自己獨特 個性的語言？這還有待時間去證明。第 三 單 元 Travel journal JOURNEY DOWN THE MEKONG PART 1 THE DREAM AND THE PLAN My name is Wang Kun. Ever since middle school, my sister Wang Wei and I

21、have dreamed about taking a great bike trip. Two years ago she bought an expensive mountain bike and then she persuaded me to buy one.Last year, she visited our cousins, Dao Wei and Yu Hang at their college in Kunming. They are Dai and grew up in western Yunnan Province near the LancangRiver, the Ch

22、inese part of the river that is called the Mekong River in other countries. Wang Wei soon got them interested in cycling too. After graduating from college.we finally got the chance to take a bike trip. I asked my sister, "Where are we going?" It was my sister who first had the idea to cyc

23、le along the entire Mekong River from where it begins to where it ends.Now she is planning our schedule for the trip.I am fond of my sister but she has one serious shortcoming. She can be really stubborn. Although she didn't know the best way of getting to places, she insisted that she organize

24、the trip properly. Now, I know that the proper way is always her way. I kept asking her, "When are we leaving and when are we coming back?" I asked her whether she had looked at a map yet. Of course, she hadn't; my sister doesn't care about details. So I told her that the source of

25、 the Mekong is in Qinghai Province. She gave me a determined look the kind that said she would not change her mind. When I told her that our journey would begin at an altitude of more than 5,000 metres, she seemed to be excited about it. When I told her the air would be hard to breathe and it would

26、be very cold, she said it would be an interesting experience. I know my sister well. Once she has made up her mind, nothing can change it. Finally, I had to give in. Several months before our trip,Wang Wei and I went to the library. We found a large atlas with good maps that showed details of world

27、geography. From the atlas we could see that the Mekong River begins in a glacier ona Tibetan mountain. At first the river is small and the water is clear and cold. Then it begins to move quickly.It becomes rapids as it passes through deep valleys, travelling across western Yunnan Province. Sometimes

28、 the river becomes a waterfall and enters wide valleys.We were both surprised to learn that half of the river is in China. After it leaves China and the high altitude,the Mekong becomes wide， brown and warm. As it entersSoutheast Asia, its pace slows. It makes wide bends or meanders through low vall

29、eys to the plains where rice grows. At last, the river delta enters the South China Sea. 沿湄公河而下的旅行 第一部分 夢想與計劃 我的名字 叫王坤。從高中起，我姐姐和我就一直夢想作一次偉大的自 行車 旅行。兩年前，她買了一輛價錢昂貴的山地自行車， 然后她還說服我也買了一 輛。去年她去看望了我們的表兄 弟在昆明讀大學的刀偉和宇航。他們是傣族 人，在云南 省西部靠近瀾滄江的地方長大，湄公河在中國境內(nèi)的這一段 叫瀾滄 江，流經(jīng)其他國家后就叫湄公河。很快，王薇使表 兄弟也對騎車旅行產(chǎn)生了興 趣。到大學畢業(yè)后，我們

30、終于 有了作一次騎車旅行的機會。我問姐姐： “我們要 去哪 里？”首先想到要沿湄公河從源頭到終點騎車旅行的是我的 姐姐。 現(xiàn)在， 她正為這次旅行制訂計劃。 我很喜歡我姐姐，但是她有一個嚴重的缺點，她有時確實很固執(zhí)。盡管她對到某些地方的最佳路線并不清楚,她卻堅持要把這次旅行安 排的盡善盡美?，F(xiàn)在我知道了這個盡善盡美的方式總是她的方式。我老是問 她： “我們什么時候 動身？什么時候回來？”我問她是否 已經(jīng)看過地圖。當然她并沒有看過，我的 姐姐是不會考慮 細節(jié)的。于是我告訴她湄公河的源頭在青海省。她給了我一 個 堅定的眼神這種眼神表明她是不會改變主意的。當我 告訴她我們的旅行將從 5000 多米的的

31、高地出發(fā)時， 她似乎 顯得很興奮。當我告訴她那里空氣稀薄，呼 吸會很困難， 而且天氣會很冷時，她卻說這將是一次很有趣的經(jīng)歷。我非 常了 解我的姐姐，她一旦下了決心，就什么也不能使她改 變。最后，我只好讓步了。 在我們旅行前的幾個月，王薇 和我去了圖書館。我們找到了一本大型的地 圖冊，里面有 一些世界地理的明細圖。我們從圖上可以看到，湄公河源于 西藏 一座山上的冰川。起初，河很小，河水清澈而冷冽， 然后它開始快速流動。它 穿過深谷時就變成了急流。流經(jīng) 云南西部。有時，這條河形成瀑布進入寬闊的 峽谷。我們 驚奇的發(fā)現(xiàn)這條河有一半是在中國境內(nèi)。當流出中國，流出 高地后， 湄公河就變寬，變暖了。河水也

32、變成了黃褐色。 而當它進入東南亞以后，流速 減慢，河水變寬慢慢地穿過 低谷，到了長著稻谷的平原。最后，湄公河三角洲 的各支 流流入中國南海。 Reading and discussing JOURNEY DOWN THE MEKONG PART 2 A NIGHT IN THEMOUNTAINS Althoughit was autumn, the snow was already beginning to fall in Tibet.Our legs were so heavy and cold that they felt like blocks of ice. Have you ever

33、 seen snowmen ride bicycles? That's what we looked like! Along the way children dressed in long wool coats stopped to look at us. In the late afternoon we found it was so cold that our water bottles froze.However,the lakes shone like glass in the setting sun and looked wonderful.Wang Wei rode in

35、 we began going down the hills.It was great fun especially as it gradually became much warmer.In the valleys colourful butterflies flew around us and we saw many yaks and sheep eating green grass.At this point we had to change our caps,coats,gloves and trousers for T-shirts and shorts.In the early e

Sincerely, Zhang ShaUnit 5 ELIAS ' STORYMy name is Elias. I am a poor black workerin SouthAfrica. The time when I first met Nelson Mandel

50、a was a very difficult period of my life. I was twelve years old. It was in 1952 and Mandela was the black lawyer to whom I went for advice. He offered guidance to poor black people on their legal problems. He was generous with his time, for which I was grateful. I needed his help because I had very

51、 little education. I began school at six. The school where I studied for only two years was three kilometers away. I had to leave because my family could not continue to pay the school fees and the bus fare. I could not read or write well. After trying hard, I got a job in a gold mine. However, this

52、 was a time when one had got to have a passbook to live in Johannesburg. Sadly I did not have it because I was not born there, and I worried about whether I would become out of work. The day when Nelson Mandela helped me was one of my happiest.He told my how to get the correct papers so I could stay

53、 in Johannesburg. I became more hopeful about my future. I never forgot how kind Mandela was. When he organized the ANC Youth League, I joined it as soon as I could. He said:“ The last thirty years haveseen the greatest number of laws stopping our rightsand progress, until today we have reached a st

54、age where we have almost no rights at all. II It was the truth. Black people could not vote or choose their leaders. They could not get the jobs they wanted. The parts of town in which they had to live were decided by white people. The places outside the towns where they were sent to live were the p

55、oorest parts of South Africa. No one could grow food there. In fact as Nelson Mandela said: “?we were put into a position in which we had either to accept we were less important or fight the government. We chose to attack the laws. We first broke the law in a way which was peaceful; when this was no

56、t allowed -only then did we decide to answer violence with violence. As a matter of fact, I do not like violence -but in 1963 I helped him blow up some government buildings. It was very dangerous because if I was caught I could be put in prison. But Iwas happy to help because I knew it would help us

57、 achieve our dream of making black and white people equal. THE REST OF ELIAS' STORY You cannot imagine how the name of Robben Island made us afraid. It was a prison from which no one escaped. There I spent thehardest time of my life. But when I got there NelsomMandela was also there and he helpe

58、d me. MrMandela began a school for those of us who had little learning. He taught us during the lunch breaks and the evenings when we should have been asleep. We read books under our blankets and used anything we could find to make candles to see the words. I became a good student. I wanted to study

59、 for my degree but I was not allowed to do that. Later, Mr Mandela allowed the prison guards to join us. He said they should not be stopped from studying for their degrees. They were not cleverer than me , but they did pass their exams.So I knwe I could get a degree too. That made me feel good about myself. When I finished the four years in prison, I went to find a job. Since I was bett
