The story of our English language is typically one of massive stealing from other languages.That is why English today has an estimated vocabulary of over one million words,while other major languages have far fewer.French,for example,has only about 75000 words,and that includes English expressions like snack bar.The French,however,do not like borrowing foreign words because they think it corrupts their language.The government tries to ban words from English and declares that Walkman is not desirable; so they invent a French word instead.
我们的英语是典型的吸收多国语言形成的.这也是英语现在有将近一百万词汇而其他重要语言的词汇比这少很多的原因.例如法语,只有大约75000词,其中包括像”snack bar(小吃店)“这种英式表达.然而法语不愿意借用外来词,因为他们觉得那会腐蚀他们自己的语言.政府尝试禁止法语中的英语词汇,他们宣布”walk man(随身听)“是不可取的,他们发明了一个法语词汇取代这个词.
