14、，他們對(duì)英語語言的形成起了很大的作用。在中世紀(jì)和現(xiàn)代社會(huì)初期，英語的影響遍及不列顛群島。從17世紀(jì)初，它的影響力開始在世界各地顯現(xiàn)。歐洲幾百年的探險(xiǎn)和殖民過程導(dǎo)致了英語的重大變化。今天，由于美國電影、電視、音樂、貿(mào)易和技術(shù)、包括互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的大受歡迎，美國英語的影響力尤其顯著。Ex.10C-ETranslationChinesecalligraphyisauniqueartandtheuniquearttreasureintheworld.TheformationanddevelopmentoftheChinesecalligraphyiscloselyrelatedtotheemergencean
