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。后来,在17世纪英国人开始航海(voyage)征服(conquer)了世界的其他地区。于是(because of因为),许多别的国家开始说英语了。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。以英语作为母语的(native本地的)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:
英国人贝蒂:“请到我的公寓里来看看,好吗?”
美国人艾米:“好的。我很乐意到(come up走近;上来)你的公寓(apartment)去。”那么,英语在一段时间里为什么会起变化呢?事实上(actually),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。首先,在公元(AD)450年到1150年间,人们所说的英语跟今天(at present现在;目前)所说的英语就很不一样。当时的英语更多地是以德语为基础(base)的,而现代英语不是。然后,渐渐地(gradually),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(Danish)后来讲法语。这些新的定居者大大丰富(enrich)了英语语言,特别是在词汇(vocabulary)方面。所以到17世纪,莎士比亚(Shakespeare)所用(make use of使用)的词汇量比以前任何时期都大。在1620年,一些英国人搬迁到美洲定居。后来,到了18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。最后,到19世纪,英语才真正定型。那时,英语在拼写(spelling)上发生了两大变化:首先塞缪尔·约翰逊(Samuel Johnson)编写了词典,后来,诺厄·韦伯斯特(Noah Webster)编纂了《美国英语词典》。后者(latter)体现了美国英语拼写的不同特色(identity本身;身份)。现在,英语在南亚也被当做外语或第二语言。比如说,印度拥有众多讲英语很流利的(fluent)人,这是因为英国于1765年到1947年统治过印度。在那期间,英语成了官方语言和教育用语。在新加坡(Singapore)、马来西亚(Malaysia)和非洲其他国家,比如(such as)南非,人们也说英语。目前在中国学习英语的人数正在迅速增长,事实上,中国可能拥有世界上最多的英语学习者。中国英语会发展出自己的特色吗?这只能由时间来回答了。
