The road to modern English
Reading
The road to modern EnglishLead-in:
1. Test yourself:
Do you have any difficulty in
understanding this poem?A Red Red Rose
Robert BurnsO, my Luve's like a red, red rose That's newly sprung in June; O, my Luve's like the melodie, That's sweetly play'd in tune.
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass, So deep in luve am I; And I will luve thee still, my dear, Till a' the seas gang dry.Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear, And the rocks melt wi' the sun; I will luve thee still, my dear, While the sands o' life shall run.
And fare thee well, my only Luve! And fare thee well, a while! And I will come again, my Luve, Tho' it were ten thousand mile!
What about this one? I Am Not Yours
I am not yours, not lost in you,
Not lost, although I long to be
Lost as a candle lit at noon,
Lost as a snowflake in the sea.
You love me, and I find you still
A spirit beautiful and bright,
Yet I am I, who long to be
Lost as a light is lost in light.
Oh plunge me deep in love—put out
My senses, leave me deaf and blind,
Swept by the tempest of your love,
A taper in a rushing wind.The difficulty in understanding
Shakespeare’s poem mainly lies in
some of the words he used, which
people do not often use now.Where does the difficulty come from?Different words were used in the past
and at present. English in the past was
different from what is used now.2. And when one day Qiu Zhensong
met Zak, our foreign teacher from
Australia . . .Did you find anything different in their English?They used different words when
expressing the same things.People in different countries may use different words even though they all speak English. English in different countries may differ from each other in some ways.People from different countries speak different English and people in different times also use different English.
