Unit 2 English around the worldThe road to modern EnglishAt the end of the 16th century, about five to seven million people spoke English. Nearly all of them lived in England. Later in the next century, people from England made voyages to conquer other parts of the world and because of that, English began to be spoken in many other countries. Today, more people speak English as their first, second or foreign language than ever before.Native English speakers can understand each other even if they don’t speak the same kind of English. Look at this example:British Betty: Would you like to see my flat?American Amy: Yes. I’d like to come up to your apartment.So why has English changed over time? Actually, all languages change and develop when cultures meet and communicate with each other. At first, the English spoken in England between about AD 450 and 1150 was very different from the English spoken today. It was based more on German than the English we speak at present. Then gradually between about AD 800 and 1150, English became less like German because those who ruled England spoke first Danish and later French. These new settlers enriched the English language and especially its vocabulary. So by the 1600’s Shakespeare was able to make use of a wider vocabulary than ever before. In 1620 some British settlers moved to America. Later in the 18th century some British people were taken to Australia too. English began to be spoken in both countries.Finally by the 19th century the language was settled. At that time two big changes in English spelling happened: first Samuel Johnson wrote his dictionary and later Noah Webster wrote The America Dictionary of the English Language. The latter gave a separate identity to American English spelling.English now is also spoken as a foreign or second language in South Asia. For example, India has a very large number of fluent English speakers because Britain ruled India from 1765 to 1947. During that time English became the language for government and education. English is also spoken in Singapore and Malaysia and countries in Africa such as South Africa. Today the number of people learning English in China is increasing rapidly. In fact, China may have the largest number of English learners. Will Chinese English develop its own identity? Only time will tell.STANDARD ENGLISH AND DIALECTSWhat is standard English? Is it spoken in Britain, the US, Canada, Australia, India and New Zealand? Believe it or not, there is no such thing as standard English. This is because in the early days of radio, those who reported the news were expected to speak excellent English. However, on TV and the radio you will hear differences in the way people speak.When people use words and expressions different from “standard language”, it is called a dialect. American English has many dialects, especially the midwestern, southern, African American and Spanish dialects. Even in some parts of the USA, two people from neighboring towns speak a little differently. American English has so many dialects because people have come from all over the world.Geography also plays a part in making dialects. Some people who live in the mountains of the eastern USA speak with an older kind of English dialect. When Americans moved from one place to another, they took their dialects with them. So people from the mountains in the southeastern USA speak with almost the same dialect as people in the northwestern USA. The USA is a large country in which many different dialects are spoken. Although many Americans move a lot, they still recognize and understand each other’s dialects.。

2020新译林版新教材⾼中英语必修⼀unit2第⼆单元课⽂及翻译(附课本练习答案)Book 1 Unit 2ReadingWhen teenagers’ bodies and minds go through a period of rapid development, every part of their lives can be influenced. The magazine article below is about teenagers’ relationships with their parents. Before you read the article, think about the following questions:What physical and mental changes do you experience as you become a teenager How do you deal with themWhat do you think “strangers under the same roof” meansStrangers under the same roof?Does every dinner with your parents seem to turn into a battle? Have your once warm and open conversations become cold and guarded? Do you feel that you just cannot see eye to eye with them on anything? You are not alone. Heated arguments and cold silences are common between teenagers and their parents.Teenagers’ physical changes may result in such family tensions. You may feel anxious that you are developing at a different rate to your friends, shooting up in height or getting left far behind. You might worry about your changing voice, weight problems or spots. When it all gets too much, your parents are often the first targets of your anger.It can be a big headache to balance your developing mental needs too. You enter a strange middle ground— 5 10 15 Reading 17 no longer a small child but not quite an adult. You have both a new desire for independence and a continued need for your parents’ love and support. You feel ready to be more responsible and make decisions on your own. Unfortunately, your parents do not always agree and that makes you feel unhappy. “Why can’t they just let me go?” you may wonder. On the other hand, when you are struggling to control your feelings, you wish they could be more caring and patient —sometimes they forget that growing up is a rough ride. It can be difficult when your parents treat you like a child but expect you to act like an adult. All of this can lead to a breakdown in your relationship.Although sometimes it may seem impossible to get along as a family, you can take action to improve the situation. The key to keeping the peace is regular and honest communication. When you disagree with your parents, take a minute to calm down and try to understand the situation from their point of view. Perhaps they have experienced something similar and do not want you to go through the same pain. After you have thought it through, explain your actions and feelings calmly, listencarefully, and address their concerns. Through this kind of healthy discussion, youwill learn when to back down and when to ask your parents to relax their control.Just remember that it is completely normal to struggle with the stress thatparent-child tensions create, and that you and your parents can work together to improve your relationship. The good news is that this stormy period will not last. Everything will turn out all right in the end, and the changes and challenges of your teenage years will prepare you for adulthood.Extended readingRead the short story about a mother’s love for her children.Mama and her bank accountEvery Saturday night Mama would sit down by the kitchen table and count out the money Papa had brought home.“For the rent.” Mama would count out the big silver pieces.“For the groceries.” Another group of coins.“I’ll need a notebook.” That would be my sister Christine, my brother Nels or me.Mama would put one or two coins to the side. We would watch with anxious interest. At last, Papa would ask, “Is that all?”And when Mama nodded, we could relax a little. Mama would look up and smile, “Good. We do not have to go to the Bank.”We were all so proud of Mama’s Bank Account. It gave us such a warm, secure feeling.When Nels graduated from grammar school, he wanted to go on to high school. “It will cost a little money,” he said.Eagerly we gathered around the table. I took down a box and laid it carefully in front of Mama. This was the “Little Bank”. It was used for sudden emergencies, such as the time when Christine broke her arm and had to be taken to a doctor.Nels listed the costs of the things he would need. Mama counted out the money in the Little Bank. There was not enough.“We do not want to go to the Bank,” she reminded. We all shook our heads.“I will work in Dillon’s grocery after school,” Nels volunteered.Mama gave him a bright smile and wrote down a number. “That’s not enough,” Papa said. Then he took his pipe out of his mouth and looked at it for a long time. “I will give up smoking,” he said suddenly.Mama reached across the table and touched Papa’s arm. Then she wrote down another figure.“I will look after the Elvington children every Friday night,” I said. “Christine can help me.”Now there was enough money. We all felt very good because we did not have to go downtown and draw money out of Mama’s Bank Account. So many things came out of the Little Bank that year: Christine’s dress for the school play, my little sister Dagmar’s operation ... Whatever happened, we always knew we still had the Bank to depend upon.That was twenty years ago.Last year I sold my first story. When the check came, I hurried over to Mama’s and put it in her lap. “For you,” I said, “to put in your Bank Account.”I noticed for the first time how old Mama and Papa looked. Papa seemed shorter, and Mama’s hair was silver now.“Tomorrow,” I told Mama, “you must take it to the Bank.”“You will go with me, Katrin?”“That won’t be necessary. Just hand it to the teller. He’ll pay it into your account.” Mama looked at me. “There is no account,”she said. “In all my life, I’ve never been inside a bank.”And when I didn’t—couldn’t—answer, Mama said seriously, “It is not good for little ones to be afraid—to not feel secure.”(Adapted from Kathryn Forbes’s Mama’s Bank Account, which has 17 short stories and describes the struggles and dreams of a family in San Francisco in the early 1900s)TranslationUnit 2Reading最熟悉的陌⽣⼈?每天的家庭晚餐幻化成激烈战⽃?热情开朗的谈话蜕变成冷淡警惕?⽆论什么事情都夏⾍语冰?其实⼤家都⼀样。

That is until I put on my curly rainbow wig, big red nose, and add my name badge “Doctor Larry Laugh-Out-Loud”. I walk through the doors into the waiting area, where there’s a familiar atmosphere of boredom and tension. People sit uncomfortably on plastic chairs, looking through old magazines, all of which have been read hundreds of times previously. Anxious parents do what they can to comfort nervous and crying children.当我穿着白大褂走进医院时,我看起来和其他医生没什么两样——直到我戴上卷曲的彩虹色假发和大红鼻子,别上我的名牌“拉里,笑哈哈医生”。

我穿过一道道门进入候诊区,这里充斥着常见的厌烦和紧张情绪。

人们别扭地坐在塑料椅上,翻阅着那些已经被读过数百遍的旧杂志。

焦虑的父母们正尽其所能安抚紧张哭闹的孩子。

2 In the middle of this particular scene I spot a small girl whose ankle is twice its normal size. I speak with the on-duty nurse, who tells me that Lara’s parents rushed her to the hospital after she fell off her bicycle. Since getting here, Lara has spent her time crying in pain. Although it’s the doctors and nurses who will treat her injury, it’s my job to make her feel better.在这个特别的场景里,我注意到一个小女孩,她的脚踝肿成了原来的两倍。

Unit 2 The Universal language课文及译文ReadingA great way to learn about a new culture is through its music. The emails below are written by two exchange students who are discovering new music in their host countries. Before you read the emails, think about the following questions:What information do you think the emails contain according to the subjects?Have you watched a music performance live or on TV? What was it like? Understanding culture through music透过音乐理解文化Hi Lucy,露丝:So glad to get your email. I hope everything is fine with you. Last night, I watched a performance of Butterfly Lovers, a beautiful violin concerto composed by He Zhanhao and Chen Gang. It’s a piece that really deserves to be heard.你好!很高兴收到你的电邮。

希望你一切都好。

昨晚吗,我观看了一场《梁祝》的演出,这是由何占豪、陈钢创作的一部动听的小提琴协奏曲,这部作品真的值得一听。

The music took me through the twists and turns of a classic story about a young couple torn apart by their families. When the two lover, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai,first meet, the music tis light and pleasant, as if whispering to the audience. It is followed by a fast and cheerful section which represents their three happy years of school. Then the music gets dramatic with heavier notes and that is when the lovers are separated because Zhu’s father forces her to marry another man. Angry and sad, Liang falls sick and dies. Zhu weeps bitterly over the loss her love. Overcome with sorrow, she jumps into his grave. Finally, during the most exciting part, the music takes a softer turn and ends on a bittersweet note, telling us how the couple transform into butterflies and fly away to be together forever. It is an amazing journey!乐曲带我进入了一个跌宕起伏的经典故事,讲述的是一对年轻情侣被他们家庭拆散的遭遇。

然后我起来了,走下楼,打开厅里的另一台电视。

中午的时候,我就吃点饼干和一杯牛奶,同时收看着新闻。

到了下午,我一般会看另一部老电影——在那时他们总会播点好电影。

傍晚,我经常是收看体育系列节目并再次看看新闻。

我喜欢六点的重点新闻。

到了九点半,如果BBC 2有在放好的戏剧,我就会转台过去看看。

深夜,我会看更多的电影然后通常在凌晨两点关电视。

我从不会整晚都看着电视。

一天里我一般会用十六到十七个小时看电视。

每一天里我也会做些运动。

我会带着我的狗狗Tina,在每个下午都走一走。

当然是不会很远的,就在我家的外墙那边。

在狗狗绕圈圈走的时候我就总是坐在石头上看着我的掌上电视。

当然了,如果没有一个优秀的妻子的话我也无法用这种方式生活。

因为她在上班所以现在不在这里,但她总是会先准备好我的饭菜。

我们没有太多的钱,你明白的,但我们很幸福。

坐下然后收看电视。

这里就是遥控器。

世界就在你你们脚下,在你们手里。

工作狂——三十六岁的Bob Black正在他的文案前伏案工作。

我通常都是在我的闹钟响前五分钟醒来的。

当闹钟一响,我就会立刻从床上跳起。

我用少于十五分钟的时间洗漱换衣、吃早餐、出门并搭上巴士。

我总是第一个到办公室的人。

早上总是很忙而下午甚至更忙。

会议和电话占据一天里的绝大部分。

每一分钟都充斥着紧急时间。

到晚上八点左右,我通常会找点时间来处理我的文案并回复一些个人邮件。

我回到家的时候就已经是深夜十点了,我还会看一些从办公室带回来的文件,这样就可以为第二天的工作做准备。

我睡觉的时候是午夜,这是我的妻儿一般都已经睡着。

我很少有时间陪伴我的妻儿,他们也会跟我抱怨。

但我尽力去工作才能尽量的赚钱给他们。

从初中过渡到高中真是一项巨大的挑战。

第一周有点让人迷茫。

First, I had to think very carefully about which courses I wanted to take. The school adviser helped me choose the suitable ones: maths, English, chemistry, world history, and Chinese. I know that Chinese is a very difficult language, but I hope to be fluent when I graduate. My adviser recommended that I should sign up for advanced literature because I like English and I’m good at it.首先,我必须非常认真地考虑我想选哪些课程。

学校的指导老师帮我选择了适合我的课程:数学、英语、化学、世界史和中文。

我知道中文是一门非常难学的语言,但我希望毕业时能说得很流利。

因为我喜欢英语而且成绩不错,我的指导老师建议我选修高级文学。

I had to choose extra-curricular activities, too. I tried to join the school football team, but the coach told me that I didn’t play well enough. Obviously, I was unhappy, but I won’t quit. I’ll find a way to improve on my own so that I can make the team next year.I joined a volunteer club instead. Every Wednesday, we work at a soup kitchen and hand out food to homeless people in the community. 我还得选一些课外活动。

English now is also spoken as a foreign or second language in South Asia. 现在英语在南亚地区也被作为外语或第二语言使用。 For example, India has a very large number of fluent English speakers because Britain ruled India from 1765 to 1947. 比如,印度就有很多人说英语说得很流利,因为在 1765年到1947年之间英国统治着印度。 During that time English became the language for government and education. 在此期间,英语成了印度政府和教育所用的语言。

高一英语必修一第二单元课文

高一英语必修一第二单元课文Unit 2 English around the world is a fascinating topic that explores the diversity and richness of the English language. English is not just a tool for communication, but a reflection of culture and history.One of the most interesting aspects of English around the world is the different accents and dialects that have developed in various regions. From the crisp Received Pronunciation of British English to the melodic lilt of Caribbean English, each accent tells a story of its own. Accents can be influenced by historical factors, migration patterns, and even socio-economic status. For example, the English spoken in Australia has been shaped by the country's history as a former British colony, while the English spoken in India has been influenced by centuries of interaction with different cultures.Another fascinating aspect of English around the world is the presence of loanwords from other languages. English has borrowed words from languages such as French, Spanish, and Arabic, enriching its vocabulary and reflecting the global nature of communication. For example, the English language has borrowed culinary terms like "croissant" from French, scientific terms like "algebra" from Arabic, and cultural terms like "fiesta" from Spanish. These loanwords not only add depth to the English language but also highlight the interconnectedness of different cultures.Moreover, the rise of English as a global lingua franca has led to the development of new varieties of English known as World Englishes.These varieties reflect the unique blend of English with local languages and cultural influences. For instance, Singlish in Singapore combines English with words and expressions from Chinese, Malay, and Tamil. Similarly, Nigerian Pidgin English blends English with indigenous languages to create a vibrant and expressive form of communication. These World Englishes challenge the traditional notion of a standard English and celebrate linguistic diversity.In addition to accents, loanwords, and World Englishes, the spread of English has also had a significant impact on education and employment opportunities. English proficiency is often seen as a gateway to higher education, better job prospects, and greater social mobility. As a result, many non-native English speakers invest time and resources in learning the language, leading to a growing number of bilingual and multilingual individuals around the world.Overall, the study of English around the world is a testament to the power of language to bridge cultural divides and connect people from different backgrounds. As English continues to evolve and adapt to changing contexts, it remains a dynamic and vibrant language that reflects the diversity of the global community. By appreciating the richness of English in all its forms, we can gain a deeper understanding of the world we live in and the people we share it with.。

The Road to Modern English
At the end of the 16th century, about five to seven million people spoke English.
(End : in the end =finally ,at last最后)
(by the end of 到。

为止(常与完成时连用)
16世纪末期大约有5百万到7百万人说英语。

Nearly all of them lived in England. 几乎所有这些人都生活在英格兰。

Later in the next century, people from England made voyages to conquer other parts of the world and because of that, English began to be spoken in many other countries.
后来,在17世纪英国人开始航海征服了世界其它地区,于是,许多别的国家开始说英语了。

Today,more people speak English as their first ,second or a foreign language than ever before .如今说英语的人比以往任
何时候都多,他们有的是作为第一语言来说,有的是作为第二语言或外语。

Native English speakers can understand each other even if they don’t speak the same kind of English.
以英语作为母语的人,即使他们所讲的语言不尽相同,也可以互相交流。

Look at this example:请看以下例子:
British Betty: Would you like to see my flat ?
American Amy: Yes, I’d like to come up to your apartment.
英国人贝蒂:“请到我的公寓(flat)里来看看,好吗?
美国人艾米:“好的。

我很乐意到你的公寓(apartment)去。


So why has English changed over time?
(over time =as time goes by 随时间推移)
那么,英语在一段时间里为什么会起变化呢?
Actually all languages change and develop when cultures meet and communicate with each other. 事实上,当不同的文化互相交流渗透时,所有的语言都会有所发展、有所变化。

At first the English spoken in England between about AD 450 and 1150 was different from the English spoken today.
首先,在公元450年到1150年间,人们所说的英语跟今天所说的英语就很不一样。

It was based more on German than the English we speak at present.
当时的英语更多地是以德语为基础的,而现代英语不是。

Then gradually between about AD 800 and 1150, English became less like German because those who ruled England spoke first Danish and later French.
然后,渐渐地,大约在公元800年到1150期间,英语不那么像德语了,因为那时的英国的统治者起初讲丹麦语后来讲法语。

These new settlers enriched the English language and especially its vocabulary.
这些新的定居者大大丰富了英语语言,特别是在词汇方面。

So by the 1600’s Shakespeare was able to make use of a wider vocabulary than ever before. 所以到17世纪,莎士比亚所用的词汇量比以前任何时期都大。

In 1620 some British settlers moved to America.
在1620年,一些英国人搬迁到美洲定居。

Later in the 18th century some British people were taken to Australia, too.
后来,到了18世纪,有些英国人也被送往澳大利亚。

English began to be spoken in both countries.
两个国家的人都开始说英语了。

Finally by the 19th century the language was settled.
最后,到19世纪,英语才真正定形。

At that time two big changes in English spelling happened: first Samuel Johnson wrote his dictionary and later Noah Webster wrote The American Dictionary of the English Language.
那时,英语在拼写上发生了两大变化:首先塞缪尔.约翰逊编写了词典,后来,诺厄.韦伯斯特编纂了《美国英语词典》。

The latter gave a separate identity to American English spelling.后者体现了美国英语拼写的不同特色。

English now is also spoken as a foreign or second language in South Asia.
现在,英语在南亚也被当作外语或第二语言。

For example, India has a very large number of English speakers because Britain ruled India from 1765 to 1947.
比如说,印度拥有众多讲英语很流利的人,这是因为英国于1765年到1947年统治过印度。

During that time English became the language for government and education.
在那期间,英语成了官方语言和教育用语。

English is also spoken in Singapore and Malaysia and countries in Africa such as South Africa. 在新加坡、马来西亚和非洲其它国家,比如南非,人们也说英语。

Today the number of people learning English in China is increasing rapidly.
目前在中国学习英语的人数正在迅速增长。
