A Brief History of English
No understanding of the English language can be very satisfactory without a notion of the history of the language. But we shall have to make do with just a notion. The history of English is long and complicated, and we can only hit the
higl1 spots.
不了解英语的历史很难真正掌握这门语言，然而对此我们只能做到略有所知。因为英语的
历史既漫长又复杂，我们只能抓住其发展过程中的几个关键时期。
At the time of the Ro1nan Empire, the speakers of what was to become English were scattered along the northern coast of Europe. They spoke a dialect of Low German. More exactly, they spoke veral different dialects, since they were
veral different tribes. The names given to the tribes who got to England are Angles, Saxo
ns, and Jutes, who are referred to collectively as Anglo-Saxons4.
在罗马帝国时期，散居在欧洲北部沿海的居民说一种西部德语的方言，这就是英语的前身。更确切地说，由于隶属于不同的部落，他们说的是几种不同的方言。这些后来迁移到英格兰的黑屏壁纸
部落被称为盎格鲁人、撒克逊人和朱特人，现在则被统称为盎格鲁-撒克逊人。

Fighting went on for as long as a hundred years before the Celts in England were all killed, driven into Wales, or reduced to slavery. By 550 or so the Anglo-Saxons were firmly established. English was in England.

It is customary to divide the history of the English, language into three periods: Old English, Middle English, Modern English. Old English runs from the earliest records -i. e. venth century - to about 1100; Middle English from 1100
to 1450 or 1500; Modern English from 1500 to the prent day.

我们习惯上把英语的发展分为三个时期：古英语，中世纪英语和现代英语。古英语时期从
最早的历史记载即公元七世纪到1100年；中世纪英语时期从1100年到1450或1500年；现代
英语时期从1500年至今。
When England came into history, it was divided into veral more or less autonomous kingdoms, some of which at times exercid a certain amount of control over the others. In the sixth century the most advanced kingdom was Northurnbria. Two centuries later, W
esx, the country of the West Saxons, became the leading power. The most famous king of the West Saxons was Alfred the Great, who was famous not only as a military man and adm1n1strator but also as a champion of learning. He founded and supported schools ar1d translated or caud to be translated many books from Latin into English.
根据最早的历史记载，当时的英格兰被分裂为几个享有一定自治权利的王国。在一定时期，其中的某一个王国对其他王国实行一定的统治。公元六世纪，最强大的王国是诺森伯里亚。两
个世纪之后，由西撒克逊人建立的威塞克斯王国成为了领袖，其最富盛名的国王叫阿尔弗烈德
大帝，他不仅是一个卓越的军事家和管理者，还是个大学问家。他出资建校，而且亲自动笔或
请人将许多拉丁语的书籍翻译成英语。
In the military sphere, Alfred's great accomplishment was his successful opposition to the
Viking invasions. The linguistic result was a considerable injection of Nor into the English language. Nor was at this time not so
different from English as Norwegian or Danish is now. Probably speakers of English could understand, more or less, the language of the newcomers who had moved into eastern England. At any rate, there was considerable interchange and word borrowing. Examples of Nor words in the English language are sky, give, law, egg, outlaw, leg, ugly, scant, sly, crawl, scowl, take, and thrust. There are hundreds more. We have even borrowed some pronouns from Nor - they, their, and them.

In grammar, Old English was, much more highly inflected than modern English is. That is, there were mote ca endings for nouns, more person and number endings for verbs, a more complicated pronoun system, various endings for adjectives, and so on. Old English nouns had four cas-nominative, gen1tive, dative，
accusative .Adjectives had five – all the and an instrumental ca besides. Prent-day English has only two cas for nouns – common ca and posssive ca. Adjectives now have no ca system at all. On the other hand, we now u a more rigid, word order and more structure words to express relationships than Old
