English
is
a
vacuum
cleaner
language;
it
is
able
and
willing
to
adopt
any
words it finds useful.
Places, peoples, tongues from around
the world all have become part of
the
English vocabulary. They give it flexibility and
provide a certain
sense of familiarity
for people who speak it as a second or foreign
language.
According to the
Oxford English Dictionary, English contains words
from
more than 350 living languages.
English is a free market, says Allan
Metacalf, author of The World in
So
Many Words. Guardians of other languages tend to
become alarmed when
they
notice
foreign
words
creeping
in.
They
say,
'That's
a
terrible
thing;
keep them out.' But English is
multicultural.
Linguistic historians
believe that English began to absorb other
languages on a large scale in 1066.
That was the year when King William,
a
Norman from what is now France, conquered England.
That meant English
speakers
were
ruled
by
French
speakers.
The
English
language
had
to
make
some changes.
During the Renaissance, words flowed
into English from Latin and Greek.
The
Age
of
Exploration
introduced
new
terms
from
all
corners
of
the
world.
And
America
changed
everything.
America
began
as
an
English-speaking
land
but
its
language
has
been
and
is
still
shaped
by
generations
of
immigrants.
Each new group
brings new ideas and new expressions. Irish,
Italians,
Germans,
Eastern
Europeans,
Latinos,
Africans,
Asians-all
change
English
in some degree.
Mass
culture makes adoptions easier. Today, words like
kung fu and chow
are no longer odd
Chinese words; they have gone mainstream.
Then there are words invented or given
new meanings when English needs
them.
Some
words
like
e-mail,
blurb
and
fax
enter
the
mainstream.
Others
like
laser
begin
life
as
acronyms
(
首字母缩略
)
for
things
that
otherwise
would be too
difficult to say in everyday conversation.
Of course, language cannot be separated
from culture, and importation
depends
on the situation. It also depends on whether the
word remains
useful.
Linguists predict that foreign words
will flow into English even faster
as
more nonnative speakers reach global leadership
positions. The pace
will increase, but
it still will be English, which always is ready to
accept new words. This is because
English is a practical language with
a
long tradition of borrowing.

Out through that window,
exactly three years ago, {{U}} {{U}} 1 {{/U}}
{{/U}}. They never came hack. In
crossing the country to the
shooting-
ground
they were
all three
swallowed in a
bog. It had
been that
terrible wet summer, you
know, and places that were safe in other years
became
suddenly
dangerous.

{{/U}}
{{/U}}.
That
was
the
worst
part
of it. Here the child's voice lost its calm sound
and became almost
human. Poor aunt
always thinks that they will come back someday,
they
and the little brown dog that was
lost with them, {{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}}
{{/U}}.
That
is
why
the
window
is
kept
open
every
evening
till
it
is
quite
dark.
Poor
dear
aunt,
she
has
often
told
me
how
they
went
out,
her
husband
with
his
white
coat
over
his
arm,
and
Ronnie,
her
youngest
brother,
singing
a song, {{U}} {{U}}
4 {{/U}} {{/U}}, because she said it affected her
nerves. {{U}} {{U}} 5 {{/U}} {{/U}},
sometimes on quiet evenings like
this,
I almost get a strange feeling that
they will all walk in through the
window
—
She
stopped
and
trembled.
It
was
a
relief
to
Framton

{{/U}}
{{/U}}.
I hope Vera has
been amusing you? she said.
She has
been very interesting, said Framton.
I
hope you don't mind the open window, said Mrs.
Sappleton brightly;
my husband and
brothers will be home soon from shooting, {{U}}

they'll
so bog,
the near today birds shooting been They've {{/U}}.
{{/U}}
make my poor carpets dirty.
{{U}} {{U}} 8 {{/U}} {{/U}}?
She
talked on cheerfully about the shooting and the
scarcity of birds,
and the hopes of
shooting in the winter. To Framton it was all
quite
terrible. He made a great
effort, {{U}} {{U}} 9 {{/U}} {{/U}}. He was
conscious that his hostess was giving
him only a part of her attention,
and
her eyes were frequently looking past him to the
open window and the
grass
beyond.
It
was
certainly
unfortunate
