“The restaurant’s fried tofu is delicious.” Is there anything special about this sentence? Well, all the words except “the” and “is” are borrowed from other languages! This comes as no surprise, given that English has borrowed words from more than 300 different languages, including Latin, Greek, French and Chinese. However, English is not alone in borrowing words from other languages- borrowed words can be found in almost all languages. For example, English words that are borrowed into the Chinese language include “bacon”, “tank” and “golf”.
The restaurant’s fried tofu is delicious.(这家餐厅的炸豆腐真美味。)这句话有什么特别之处吗?好吧,除了 the 和 is 之外,所有的单词都是从其他语言中借来的!这并不奇怪,因为英语已从 300 多种不同的语言中借用了词汇,包括拉丁语、希腊语、法语和汉语。然而,英语并不是唯一一种从其他语言引入外来词的语言——几乎所有语言中都可以找到外来词。例如,被借用到汉语中的英语词汇包括“培根(bacon)”、“坦克(tank)”和“高尔夫(golf)”。
