㈠ 英語的歷史介紹
英語的歷史從1500多年前的北歐開始。
在公元5世紀左右,稱為天使、撒克遜和黃麻的人們的部落從德國和丹麥旅行向西過北海。
他們遷入英國,並且在7世紀末以前,他們講早期的形式英語。
在8世紀末,斯堪的那維亞人攻佔英國。
戰爭持續了將近200年。
在這個時期,很多拉丁語、丹麥和古斯堪的那維亞的單詞融入英語。
象炊具和杯子與生活息息相關一樣,拉丁語給了英語很多單詞。
從丹麥語和古斯堪的那維亞語中,英國人借鑒過來了皮膚、腿、以及各種詞格的代詞「他們」、「他們的」。
來自古斯堪的那維亞語的很多同義詞統一到英語中,例如,憤怒(英語的wrath和古斯堪的那維亞語的anger);生病(英語的sick和古斯堪的那維亞語的ill),都在英語中進行了統一。
1066年,諾曼人征服英國。
法語成為富人的語言和強有力的象徵,但窮人主要講英語。
在14世紀末,英語再次成為第一語言。
到這時,英國人使用的很多詞彙來自法語或者拉丁語,並且許多早期的詞彙已經不復存在。
到了第16和17世紀,人們對古典作品感興趣。
在這個時期,來自拉丁語和希臘語的詞彙被歸入英語。
許多詞彙或者單詞的組成部分,從那些語言被用現代英語引進使用。
今天,英語有來自大多數世界性語言的泊來單詞。
你或許能找到英語使用的某個詞彙是最先來自你的母語。
㈡ 用英語問五個關於世界歷史的問題

㈣ 英語發展史(用英語介紹)
盧恩語(Futhark)→古英語(即盎格魯-撒克遜語)(Old English、Anglo-Saxon)→英國英語(English)
1.英語的發展要追溯到公元年,羅馬人離開不列顛之後,日耳曼部族包括盎格魯、薩克遜開始湧入。
2.羅馬人走了,沒有留下他們使用的拉丁語。反倒是實用的盎格魯薩克遜語言進入到當地人的語言,帶去了新的詞彙。
3.公元597年,基督教傳入英國。基督教的流行,使當地人更容易接受拉丁文的怪字,如「martyr(烈士)」, 「bishop」和 「font」。
4.公元800年,丹麥人入侵英國。維京語言給英語帶來了好戰意味明顯的詞彙,英語中共有2000個詞彙源於維京人。
5.1066年,征服者威廉入侵不列顛,帶來了來自海峽對岸的法語。法語成為了上層階級與官方事務用語。總的來講,英文大概從諾曼語中吸收了一萬多個單詞。
6.1337 年,英法百年戰爭開始。在這116年的爭斗中,英語吸收了法語中的戰爭詞彙,如「armies」, 「navies」 及 「soldiers「, 並逐步取代法語,成為當權者的語言。
7.100年之後誕生了莎士比亞。字典告訴我們,莎士比亞大概發明了2000多個新字,包括好用的詞彙還有很多當時的流行詞彙。
8.1611年出現了詹姆士王版聖經。新聖經使用了所有人都能理解的語言,使得聖經中的教訓不再是「王宮粉牆上」的文字,而是手中的小冊,並有傳教士在每間教堂宣傳。
9.17世紀,科學得到了迅速的發展。皇家學院的科學家們一開始用拉丁文溝通,後來發現其實用自己的母語英文會更簡潔。新事物的發現產生了許多新的詞彙。
10.在日不落帝國迅速擴張時期,英語從殖民地不同的語言中吸收了許多新的詞彙與表達。據統計,在1815年到1914年期間,新變種的英文得以在世界各地發展。
11.隨著英文向四面八方擴張,詞典編纂者也隨之出現,這些人想要解決拼字不統一的無政府狀態。於是約翰遜博士花了九年編成了一本英文字典,促成了拼寫的統一。
12.英語由古代從丹麥等斯堪的納維亞半島以及德國、荷蘭及周邊移民至不列顛群島的盎格魯、撒克遜以及朱特部落的白人所說的語言演變而來,並通過英國的殖民活動傳播到了世界各地。
13.在19至20世紀,英國以及美國在文化、經濟、軍事、政治和科學在世界上的領先地位使得英語成為一種國際語言。如今,許多國際場合都使用英語做為溝通媒介。
古英語受低地日耳曼語影響很大,比如動詞,基本詞彙,發音,復合詞結構,形態變化很復雜,但是與現代的標准德語還是有很大的區別。
現代英語並非起源或演變自羅曼語族亦或是法語,但是數萬現代英語詞彙,很大一部分來自法語,約5萬英語詞彙與法語接近甚至是完全相同,現代英語和多數現代歐洲語言都改用字母拼寫。
現代英語所使用的拼寫字母,也是完全借用了26個字母。所謂「英語字母」,就是古羅馬人在書寫時所使用的拼寫字母。
英語開始以拉丁字母作為拼寫系統大約是在公元六世紀盎格魯撒克遜時代。

㈥ 用英文介紹埃及的歷史
Egypt
Country, Middle East, northeastern Africa. Area: 385,229 sq mi (997,739 sq km). Population (2005 est.): 70,457,000. Capital: Cairo. The people are largely Egyptian Arabs. Language: Arabic (official). Religions: Islam (official; predominantly Sunni); also Christianity. Currency: Egyptian pound. Egypt occupies a crossroads between Africa, Europe, and Asia. The majority of its land is in the arid western and eastern deserts, separated by the country's dominant feature, the Nile River. The Nile forms a flat-bottomed valley, generally 5 – 10 mi (8 – 16 km) wide, that fans out into the densely populated delta lowlands north of Cairo. The Nile valley (in Upper Egypt) and delta (Lower Egypt), along with scattered oases, support all of Egypt's agriculture and have virtually all of its population. Egypt has a developing, mainly socialist, partly free-enterprise economy based primarily on instry, including petroleum proction, and agriculture. It is a republic with one legislative house; its chief of state is the president, and the head of government is the prime minister. It is one of the world's oldest continuous civilizations. Upper and Lower Egypt were united c. 3000 BC, beginning a period of cultural achievement and a line of native rulers that lasted nearly 3,000 years. Egypt's ancient history is divided into the Old, Middle, and New Kingdoms, spanning 31 dynasties and lasting to 332 BC. The pyramids date from the Old Kingdom, the cult of Osiris and the refinement of sculpture from the Middle Kingdom, and the era of empire and the Exos of the Jews from the New Kingdom. An Assyrian invasion occurred in the 671 BC, and the Persian Achaemenids established a dynasty in 525 BC. The invasion by Alexander the Great in 332 BC inaugurated the Macedonian Ptolemaic period and the ascendancy of Alexandria as a centre of learning and Hellenistic culture. The Romans held Egypt from 30 BC to AD 395; later it was part of the Byzantine Empire. After the Roman emperor Constantine granted tolerance to the Christians in 313, a formal Egyptian (Coptic) church emerged. Egypt came under Arab control in 642 and ultimately was transformed into an Arabic-speaking state, with Islam as the dominant religion. Held by the Umayyad and 'Abbasid dynasties, in 969 it became the centre of the Fatimid dynasty. In 1250 the Mamluk dynasty established a state that lasted until 1517, when Egypt fell to the Ottoman Empire. An economic and cultural decline ensued. Egypt became a British protectorate in 1914 and received nominal independence in 1922, when a constitutional monarchy was established. A group of army officers led by Gamal Abdel Nasser overthrew the monarchy in 1952. A union with Syria to form the United Arab Republic (1958 – 61) failed. Following three wars with Israel (see Arab-Israeli wars), Egypt, under Nasser's successor, Anwar el-Sadat, made peace with the Jewish state, thus alienating many fellow Arab countries. Sadat was assassinated by Islamic extremists in 1981 and was succeeded by Hosni Mubarak, who continued to negotiate peace. Although Egypt took part in the coalition against Iraq ring the First Persian Gulf War (1991), it later began peace overtures with countries in the region.

㈦ 請用英語,介紹下世界博覽會的歷史以及由來
世博會(World's Fair)的起源是中世紀歐洲商人定期的市集,市集起初只牽涉到經濟貿易,到19世紀,商界在歐洲地位提升,市集的規模漸漸擴大,商品交易的種類和參予的人員愈來愈多,影響范圍愈來愈大,從經濟到生活藝術到生活理想哲學……到19世紀20年代,這種具規模的大型市集便稱為博覽會(Expositions)。
第一屆世界博覽會是在1851年於英國倫敦舉行,當時英國國勢全世界最盛,英國便希望透過一個大型的展覽,去顯示其國力。英國人自豪地把這次大型市集會稱為「偉大的博覽會」(Great Exhibition)。在展出的約10萬件展品中,蒸汽機、農業機械、織布機等推動工業革命的機械引人矚目;而這些當時嶄新的展品,會後便成為兩個博物館的展品作為博覽會的展品基礎:包括在1852年成立的維多利亞與阿爾伯特博物館,和1853年成立的坎星頓科學技術博物館。初時的世博會多以大眾化的綜合博覽為主題,例如慶祝某個國家成立百周年、法國大革命100年紀念等。到了近代,隨著科技的進步,舉辦世界博覽會亦趨向專業博覽模式,去探討新科技和生活的關系。
而且,世界博覽會的主題,多數以當時的科技成果,來配合當時社會氣象的需求。例如在兩次世界大戰和冷戰期間的世博會,多數博覽會的中心思想是「和平」、「建設明天」;到了接近21世紀,環境保育的議題亦成為了當時的世博會上關注的焦點。
世界博覽會沒有規定多少年才可以舉辦一次,不過,正式提出申辦要求不得早於設想中的世界博覽會開幕日子的前9年。基本上需要由申辦的國家向國際展覽局遞交世界博覽會申請書,提出舉辦時間和具體主題內容,由國際展覽局於成員國大會上透過投票表決。當申辦國成功申請後,便由該主辦國作統籌,別國亦可以透過邀請參予世界博覽會,以達至不同的國家可以在世博會這個大平台,去相互交流文化、科技,為全世界明天的進步出力。而主辦世界博覽會的國家/城市亦會高度重視這項大事,因為這是展示國家富強的一個指標。
A brief history of the World's Fair
Further information: List of world's fairs
World's Fairs originated in the French tradition of national exhibitions, a tradition that culminated with the French Instrial Exposition of 1844 held in Paris. It was soon followed by other national exhibitions in continental Europe, and finally came to London where the first real international exhibition was held.
Since their inception in 1851, the character of world expositions has evolved. Three eras can be distinguished:[citation needed] the era of instrialization, the era of cultural exchange, and the era of nation branding.[original research?]
[edit] Instrialization (1851–1938)
The first era could be called the era of 'instrialization' and covered, roughly, the period from 1800 to 1950. In these days, world expositions were especially focused on trade and famous for the display of technological inventions and advancements. World expositions were the platform where the state of the art in science and technology from around the world was brought together. The world expositions of 1851 London, 1889 Paris, World's Columbian Exposition, Chicago 1893, 1900 Paris, 1904 St. Louis and 1915 San Francisco exhibitions can be called landmarks in this respect.[citation needed] Inventions such as the telephone were first presented ring this era. An important part of the Expo's current image stems from this first era.
[edit] Cultural exchange (1939–1991)
The 1939 New York World's Fair and the 1949 Stockholm World's Fair represented a departure from the original focus of the expositions. From then on, Expos became more strongly based on a specific theme of cultural significance, and began to address issues of humankind. They became more future oriented and 'utopian' in scope. Technology and inventions remained important, but no longer as the principal subjects of the Expo. Tomorrow's World (New York, 1939) and Sports (Stockholm, 1949) are examples of these 'new' themes. Cross-cultural dialogue and the exchange of solutions became defining elements of the expos. The dominant Expo of this era arguably remains Montreal's 1967 Expo67. At Expo 2000 in Hannover, a program called 'Projects Around the World' brought together sustainable initiatives and solutions from all over the globe. Expo 2005 of Aichi was probably the most thematic Expo to date.
[edit] Nation branding (1992–present)
From Expo '92 in Seville onwards, countries started to use the world expo more widely and more strongly as a platform to improve their national images through their pavilions. Finland, Japan, Canada, France and Spain are cases in point. A large study by Tjaco Walvis called "Expo 2000 Hanover in Numbers" showed that improving national image was the primary participation goal for 73% of the countries at Expo 2000. In a world where a strong national image is a key asset, pavilions became advertising campaigns, and the Expo a vehicle for 'nation branding'. Apart from cultural and symbolic reasons, organizing countries (and the cities and regions hosting them) also utilize the world exposition to brand themselves. According to branding expert Wally Olins, Spain used Expo '92 and the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona in the same year to underline its new position as a modern and democratic country and present itself as a prominent member of the European Union and the global community.
Today's world expositions embody elements of all three eras. They present new inventions, facilitate cultural exchange based on a theme, and are used for city, region and nation branding.

㈨ 英語介紹 世界歷史/中國歷史
History of China
The recorded history of China began in the 15th century BC when the Shang Dynasty started to use markings that evolved into the present Chinese characters. Turtle shells with markings reminiscent of ancient Chinese writing from the Shang Dynasty have been carbon dated to as early as 1500 BC.[1] Chinese civilization originated with city-states in the Yellow River (Huang He) valley. 221 BC is commonly accepted to be the year in which China became unified under a large kingdom or empire. In that year, Qin Shi Huang first united China. Successive dynasties in Chinese history developed bureaucratic systems that enabled the Emperor of China to control increasingly larger territory that reached maximum under the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty and Manchurian Qing Dynasty.
The conventional view of Chinese history is that of a country alternating between periods of political unity and disunity and occasionally becoming dominated by foreign peoples, most of whom were assimilated into the Han Chinese population. Cultural and political influences from many parts of Asia, carried by successive waves of immigration, expansion, and assimilation, merged to create the Chinese culture.
參考資料:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_China
Ancient history is the study of the written past from the beginning of human history until the Early Middle Ages[1] in Europe, the Qin Dynasty in China, the Chola Empire in India, and some less defined point in the rest of the world (for example, in the Americas). (The period following antiquity is the Imperial era in China and the period of the Middle Kingdoms in India; one might consider the end of antiquity in the Americas to be the start of the colonization of the Americas.) The goal of the modern day critical ancient historian is objectivity. The term classical antiquity is often used to refer to ancient history since the beginning of recorded Greek history in about 776 BC (First Olympiad). This coincides, roughly, with the traditional date of the founding of Rome in 753 BC, the beginning of the history of ancient Rome.
Although the ending date of ancient history is disputed, currently most Western scholars use the fall of the Western Roman Empire in AD 476, the death of the emperor Justinian I or the coming of Islam in 632 as the end of ancient European history. The span of recorded history is roughly 5,000 – 5,500 years, with Sumerian cuneiform being the oldest form of writing discovered so far. This is the beginning of history by the definition used by most historians.
㈩ 用英語介紹中國歷史
中國歷史,從夏朝算起,有近4100年歷史;從中國第一個統一的朝代秦朝算起,約有2241年。

During the Three Kingdoms, the Jin Dynasty, the southern and Northern Dynasties, China entered a situation of separatist regime.
隋唐五代時期,經濟繁榮、科技發展,文化影響廣泛。武周時期,因「大周萬國頌德天樞」的營建而使國際地位達到頂峰。遼宋夏金元時期,多元文化交融,經濟、科技發展到新的高度。明朝時,經濟取得發展,明末江南地區出現「資本主義萌芽」;清朝前期奠定了中國今天的疆域。
During the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties, economic prosperity, scientific and Technological Development and cultural influence were widespread. During the Wuzhou period, the international status reached its peak because of the construction of "the great Zhou Wanguo praises the virtue of Tianshu".

根據歷史文獻和考古物證,可將中國歷史(炎黃文明)劃分為十個紀:
炎黃、虞夏、商周、齊楚、秦漢;
魏晉、隋唐、宋元、明清、共和。
一、炎黃紀:以仰韶文化為代表,約兩千四百年(公元前五十至前二十六世紀)。以農業社會、母系社會末期、銅石並用時代、父系社會初期為准。炎黃紀已經出現私有制、商業、戰爭、奴隸。
二、虞夏紀:以龍山文化、齊家文化為代表,約一千年(公元前二十六至前十六世紀)。二里頭文化兜底:以青銅器時代初期、雙輪車、城市、文字等古文明標志為准。傳說時代的顓頊、帝嚳、堯、舜、禹或可研究納入本時代故事集。
三、商周紀:青銅器時代中期,分封制中期,以殷墟、甲骨文為典型代表。成湯滅夏、武王伐紂、國人暴動為本時代三部曲。約八百年。
