Nearly all of them lived in England.几乎所有这些人都生活在英国。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.后来，在17世纪英国人开始航海征服了世界其它地区。于是，许多别的国家开始说英语了。Today, more people speak English as their first, second or foreign language than ever before.如今说英语的人比以往任何时候都多，他们有的是作为第一语言来说，有的是作为第二语言或外语。Native English speakers can understand each other even if they dont speak the same kind of English. Look at this example:以英语作为母语的人，即使他们所讲的语言不尽相同，也可以互相交流。请看以下例子：British Betty: Would you like to see my flat?英国人贝蒂：“请到我的公寓（flat）里来看看，好吗？”American Amy: Yes, Id like to come up to your apartment.美国人艾米：“好的。我很乐意到你的公寓（apartment）去。”So why has English changed over time?那么，英语在一段时间里为什么会起变化呢？Actually all languages change and develop when cultures meet and communicate with each other.事实上，当不同文化互相交流渗透时，所有的语言都会有所发展，有所变化。At first the English spoken in England between about AD 450 and 1150 was very different from the English spoken today.首先，在公元450年到1150年间，人们所说的英语跟今天所说的英语就很不一样。It was based more on German than the English we speak at present.当时的英语更多地是以德语为基础的，而现代英语不是。Then gradually between about AD 800 and 1150, English became less like German because those who ruled England spoke first Danish and later French.然后，渐渐地，大约在公元800年到1150年期间，英语不那么像德语了。因为那时的英国的统治者起初讲丹麦语后来讲法语。These new settlers enriched the English language and especially its vocabulary.这些新的定居者大大丰富了英语语言，特别是在词汇方面。So by the 1600s Shakespeare was able to make use of a wider vocabulary than ever before.所以到17世纪，莎士比亚所用的词汇量比以前任何时期都大。In 1620 some British settlers moved to America.在1620年，一些英国人搬迁到美洲定居。Later in the 18th century some British people were taken to Australia too. English began to be spoken in both countries. 后来，到了19世纪，有些英国人也被送往澳大利亚，两个国家的人都开始说英语了。Finally by the 19th century the language was settled.最后，到20世纪，英语才真正定形。At that time two big changes in English spelling happened: first Samuel Johnson wrote his dictionary and later Noah Webster wrote The American Dictionary of the English Language.那时，英语在拼写上发生了两大变化：首先，塞缪尔约翰逊编写了词典，后来，诺厄韦伯斯特编纂了美国英语词典，The latter gave a separate identity to American English spelling.后者体现了美国英语拼写的不同特色。English now is also spoken as a foreign or second language in South Asia.现在，英语在南亚也被当作外语或第二语言来说。For example, India has a very large number of fluent English speakers because Britain ruled India from 1765 to 1947.比如说，印度拥有众多讲英语很流利的人，这是因为英国于1765年到1947年统治过印度。During that time English became the language for government and education.在那期间，英语成了官方语言和教育用语。English is also spoken in Singapore and Malaysia and countries in Africa such as South Africa.在新加坡、马来西亚和非洲其它国家，比如南非，人们也说英语。Today the number of people learning English in China is increasing rapidly.目前在中国学习英语的人数正在迅速增长。In fact, China may have the largest number of English learners.事实上，中国可能拥有世界上最多的英语学习者。Will Chinese English develop its own identity? Only time will tell.中国英语会发展出自己的特色吗？这只能由时间来回答了。4. 必修一Unit2 STANDARD ENGLISH AND DIALECTS标准英语和方言What is standard English?什么是标准英语？Is it spoken in Britain, the US, Canada, Australia, India and New Zealand?是在英国、美国、加拿大、澳大利亚、印度、新西兰所说的英语吗？Believe it or not, there is no such thing as standard English.信不信由你，（世界上）没有什么标准英语。Many people believe the English spoken on TV and the radio is standard English.许多人认为，电视和收音机里所说的就是标准英语。This is because in the early days of radio, those who reported the news were expected to speak excellent English.这是因为在早期的电台节目里，人们期望新闻播音员所说的英语是最好的英语。However, on TV and the radio you will hear differences in the way people speak.然而，在电视和收音机里，你也会听出人们在说话时的差异。When people use words and expressions different from “standard language”, it is called a dialect.当人们用不同于“标准语言”的词语时，那就叫做方言。American English has many dialects, especially the midwestern, southern, African American and Spanish dialects.美国英语有许多方言，特别是中西部和南部地区的方言，以及黑人和西班牙人的方言。Even in some parts of the USA, two people from neighbouring towns speak a little differently.在美国有些地区，即使是相邻城镇的两个人所说的语言都可能稍有不同。American English has so many dialects because people have come from all over the world.美国英语之所以有这么多的方言是因为美国人是来自世界各地的缘故。Geography also plays a part in making dialects.地理位置对方言的产生也有影响。Some people who live in the mountains of the eastern USA speak with an older kind of English dialect.住在美国东部山区的一些人说着比较古老的英语方言。When Americans moved from one place to another, they took their dialects with them.当美国人从一个地方搬到另一个地方时，他们也就把他们的方言随着带去了。So people from the mountains in the southeastern USA speak with almost the same dialect as people in the northwestern USA.因此，美国东南部山区的人同美国西北部的人所说的方言就几乎相同。The USA is a large country in which many different dialects are spoken.美国是一个使用多种方言的大国。Although many Americans move a lot, they still recognize and understand each others dialects.虽然许多美国人经常搬迁，但是他们仍然能够辨别、理解彼此的方言。5. 必修一Unit 3JOURNEY DOWN THE MEKONG沿湄公河而下的旅程PART 1 THE DREAM AND THE PLAN第一部分梦想与计划My name is Wang Kun.

I asked her whether she had looked at a map yet.我不停地问她，“我们什么时候出发？什么时候回来？”我还问她是否看过地图。Of course, she hadnt; my sister doesnt care about details.当然她并没有看过我的姐姐是不会考虑细节的。So I told her that the source of the Mekong is in Qinghai Province.于是，我告诉她，湄公河的源头在青海省。She gave me a determined lookthe kind that said she would not change her mind.她给了我一个坚定的眼神这种眼神表明她是不会改变主意的。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.我说，我们的旅行将从5, 000多米的高地出发，这时她似乎显得很兴奋。When I told her the air would be hard to breathe and it would be very cold, she said it would be an interesting experience.当我告诉她那里空气稀薄，呼吸困难，而且天气很冷时，她却说这将是一次有趣的经历。I know my sister well. Once she has made up her mind, nothing can change it. Finally, I had to give in.我非常了解我的姐姐，她一旦下了决心，什么也不能使她改变。最后，我只好让步了。Several months before our trip, Wang Wei and I went to the library.在我们旅行前的几个月，王薇和我去了图书馆。We found a large atlas with good maps that showed details of world geography.我们找到一本大型地图册，里面有一些世界地理的明细图。From the atlas we could see that the Mekong River begins in a glacier on a Tibetan mountain.我们从图上可以看到，湄公河发源于西藏一座山上的冰川。At first the river is small and the water is clear and cold. Then it begins to move quickly.起初，江面很小，河水清澈而冷冽，然后它开始快速流动。It becomes rapids as it passes through deep valleys, travelling across western Yunnan Province.它穿过深谷时就变成了急流，流经云南西部。Sometimes the river becomes a waterfall and enters wide valleys.有时，这条江形成瀑布，进入宽阔的峡谷。We were both surprised to learn that half of the river is in China.我们俩惊奇地发现这条河有一半是在中国境内。After it leaves China and the high altitude, the Mekong becomes wide, brown and warm.当流出中国，流出高地之后，湄公河就变宽了，变暖了，河水也变成了黄褐色。As it enters Southeast Asia, its pace slows. It makes wide bends or meanders through low valleys to the plains where rice grows.而当它进入东南亚以后，流速减缓，河水蜿蜒缓慢地穿过低谷，流向生长稻谷的平原。At last, the river delta enters the South China Sea.最后，湄公河三角洲的各支流流入中国南海。6. 必修一Unit3 夜晚的西藏山景PART 2 A NIGHT IN THE MOUNTAINS第二部分山中一宿Although it was autumn, the snow was already beginning to fall in Tibet.虽然是秋天，但是西藏已经开始下雪了。Our legs were so heavy and cold that they felt like blocks of ice.我们的腿又沉又冷，感觉就像大冰块。Have you ever seen snowmen ride bicycles?你看到过雪人骑自行车吗？Thats what we looked like!我们看上去就像那样。Along the way children dressed in long wool coats stopped to look at us.一路上，一些身着羊毛大衣的孩子们停下来看着我们。In the late afternoon we found it was so cold that our water bottles froze.下午晚些时候，我们发现由于天冷我们的水壶都冻上了。However, the lakes shone like glass in the setting sun and looked wonderful.然而，湖水在落日的余晖下闪亮如镜，景色迷人。Wang Wei rode in front of me as usual.
