English words do not stay the same.People need new words for new ideas and new inventions.Different words come into use,or older words are used in a new way.
English can change by borrowing words from other langua-ges.The word"tomato"was borrowed from Mexico,and"tea"came from China and"cookbook"are made up of two parts.Some-times new words are shorter froms of older words.The word"photo"was made from"photograph"by cutting off the end of the longer word.Cutting off the front part of"airplane"made"plance".The names of people and products(产品) can become new words.Our"sandwich"was named after a man named Sandwich and"sellotape"(透明胶带)was a name given by the company that first made the product.
It is interesting to visit another country,but there are sometimes problems when we don't know the language well.It may be difficult to talk with the people there.We may not know how to use the telephone in the country we are visiting.We may not know how to buy the things we need.
It a strange country we might not know where to eat or what to order in a restaurant.It is not easy to decide how much to tip the waiter or taxi driver.When we need rest.we might not know how to ask for help.It is not good to have things like that.
After a short time,we learn what to do and what to say,we learn to enjoy life in another country and then we may be sorry to leave.
我好不容易打上来的这段短文,尽量准确点
英文单词不是一成不变的,人们需要新的单词来表达新的想法和发明.于是,新的单词就开始进入了人们的语言,老的单词也有了新的意思.英语可以通过从其他语言“借用”一些词语来改变自己的单词,比如,“tomato 番茄”是从墨西哥拿来的单词,“tea茶”是从中国来的.而“cookbook菜谱”是两个单词拼在一起形成的.有时候,新的单词是老单词的简写形式,比如“photo照片”是“photograph照片”这个单词去掉尾部字母而来,去掉开头字母的也有,比如“airplane飞机”就形成了“plane飞机”.人们的名字和产品也可以制造新的单词,比如,“sanwich三明治”这个单词就是来源于一个叫做Sanwich三明治的人.“sellotape胶带”的单词是最早生产它的公司的名字.
出国是一件很有意思的事情,但是,如果我们对语言掌握得不好的话,有时候也会出一些问题.很可能与当地人交谈会很困难,我们也许不知道该怎么使用那里的电话,也不知道怎么去买需要的东西.在陌生的国家,我们不知道去哪里吃饭,到了餐馆也不知道该点什么菜.该给服务员和出租车司机多少小费也很难决定.当我们需要休息的时候,我们很可能不知道该去向谁求助.这些事情可真糟糕.
过了一段时间后,我们就能学会该干什么和说什么了,我们也能学会在另一个国家享受生活,呆着不想走了.
