is

known

as

a

world

language,regularly

used

by

many

nations

whose

English

is

not

their

first

language.Like

other

languages,English

has

changed

greatly.The

history

of

the

English

language

can

be

divided

into

three

main

periods:Old

English,Middle

English

and

Modern

English.The

English

language

started

with

the

invasion

of

Britain

by

three

Germanic

tribes

during

the

5th

century

AD,and

they

contributed

greatly

to

the

formation

of

the

English

language.During

the

medieval

and

early

modern

periods,the

influence

of

English

spread

throughout

the

British

Isles,and

from

the

early

17th

century

its

influence

began

to

be

felt

throughout

the

world.The

processes

of

European

exploration

and

colonization

for

several

centuries

led

to

significant

change

in

English.Today,American

English

is

particularly

influential,due

to

the

popularity

of

American

cinema,television,music,trade

and

technology,including

the

Internet.人們普遍認(rèn)為英語(yǔ)是一種世界語(yǔ)言，經(jīng)常被許多不以英語(yǔ)為第一語(yǔ)言的國(guó)家使用。與其他語(yǔ)言一樣，英語(yǔ)也發(fā)生了很大的變化。英語(yǔ)的歷史可以分為三個(gè)主要階段：古英語(yǔ)，中古英語(yǔ)和現(xiàn)代英語(yǔ)。英語(yǔ)起源于公元5世紀(jì)，當(dāng)時(shí)三個(gè)日耳曼部落入侵英國(guó)，他們對(duì)英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言的形成起了很大的作用。在中世紀(jì)和現(xiàn)代社會(huì)初期，英語(yǔ)的影響遍及不列顛群島。從17世紀(jì)初，它的影響力開(kāi)始在世界各地顯現(xiàn)。歐洲幾百年的探險(xiǎn)和殖民過(guò)程導(dǎo)致了英語(yǔ)的重大變化。今天，由于美國(guó)電影、電視、貿(mào)易和技術(shù)、包括互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的大受歡迎，美國(guó)英語(yǔ)的影響力尤其顯。中譯英：中國(guó)書(shū)法(calligraphy)是一門(mén)獨(dú)特的藝術(shù)、是世界上獨(dú)一無(wú)二的藝術(shù)瑰寶。中國(guó)書(shū)法藝術(shù)的形成，發(fā)展與漢文字的產(chǎn)生與演進(jìn)存在著密不可分的關(guān)系。漢字在漫長(zhǎng)的演變發(fā)展過(guò)程中，一方面起著交流思想、繼承文化的重要作用，另一方面它本身又形成了一種獨(dú)特的藝術(shù)。書(shū)法能夠通過(guò)作品把書(shū)法家個(gè)人的生活感受、學(xué)識(shí)、修養(yǎng)、個(gè)性等折射出來(lái)，所以，通常有“字如其人”的說(shuō)法。中國(guó)書(shū)法不僅是中華民族的文化瑰寶，而且在世界文化藝術(shù)寶庫(kù)中獨(dú)放異彩。Chinese

calligraphy

a

unique

and

in

formation

and

development

of

the

Chinese

is

closely

related

to

the

evolution

of

Chinese

characters.In

this

long

have

not

only

played

an

important

role

in

Festival)，是中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日中最具浪漫色彩的一個(gè)節(jié)日。一些大的商家每年都舉辦不同的活動(dòng)，年輕人也送禮物給他們的情人。因此，七夕節(jié)被認(rèn)為是中國(guó)的“情人節(jié)”(Valentine's

Day)。七夕節(jié)來(lái)自牛郎與織女（Cowherd
