英语翻译
English today is very different from the English spoken long,long ago.By the 12th
century,the language has already changed very much.People then could not read the writings from the year 700.The history of the English has three parts--"Old English"(before the year 1150)."Middle English"(up till 1500) and "Modern English"(1500 to now).
The biggest difference from Old,Middle and Modern English is in vocabulary.Grammar has not changed greatly.But thousands of new words have come into the language.Many of these are from French.
Another important change is pronunciation.It has changed so much that there are almost no words said the same way today as in Old English.
我应该怎么样理解句子
句子A:People then could not read the writings from the year 700.
句子B:It has changed so much that there are almost no words said the same way today as in Old English.
为什么这2句子给我的感觉好像现在时和过去时混着用似的?
现今的英语和很久很久以前人们所说的英语有着很大的不同.在12世纪的时候,这门语言已经有了非常的的改变.那时的人们不能够阅读理解公元700年留下的文字作品.英语的历史分为3个部分--“古英语”(公元1150年以前).“中古英语”(公元1150年至公元1500年)和“现代英语”(公元1500年至今).
现代英语和古英语、中古英语最大的不同在于词汇.语法上没有大的改变.但是语言中加入了成千上万的新词汇.这些新词很多事来自法语.
另外一个重大的改变时发音.它的改变如此巨大以至于现在基本没有单词和古英语有相同的发音方式.
句子A只有过去时吧,writings是名词啊
句子B,It has changed 是现在完成时,said是表被动--“被说”,不是过去时
