十分钟英语史No.1 盎格鲁-撒克逊人No.1 Anglo-SaxonThe History of English in Ten Minutes. Chapter 1. Anglo-Saxon or whatever happen to the Jutes.十分钟了解英语历史。
第一章，盎格鲁撒克逊人或发生在朱特人的任何事。
The English language begins with the phrase ‘Up Yours Caesar!’ as the Romans leave Britain and a lot of Germanic tribes start flooding in, tribes such as the Angles and the Saxons –who together gave us the term Anglo-Saxon, and the Jutes –who didn’t.英语以这句话开头，去你的凯撒！当罗马人离开英国，大量日耳曼部落开始涌入。
例如盎格鲁和撒克逊人。
他们留下这个盎格鲁撒克逊人的叫法。
以及没留下痕迹的朱特人。
The Romans left some very straight roads behind, but not much of their Latin language. The Anglo-Saxon vocab was much more useful as it was mainly words for simple everyday things like ‘house’, ‘woman’, ‘loaf’ and ‘werewolf’.罗马人留下了一些笔直的道路，但是关于拉丁语的不多。
盎格鲁撒克逊的语汇更有帮助因为他们都是关于简单的日常用语，像房子，女人，面包，狼人。
Four of our days of the week - Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday were named in honour of Anglo-Saxon gods, but they didn’t bother with Saturday, Sunday and Monday as they had all gone off for a long weekend.我们一周的四天，周二，周三，周四和周五提名为祭拜盎格鲁撒克逊的上帝的日子。

十分钟了解英语历史。
第六章，英语和帝国或英语的太阳永不落。
With English making its name as the language of science, the Bible and Shakespeare, Britain decided to take it on tour.
随着英语被大量用于科学，圣经，和莎士比亚作品，英国决定让它发扬光大。
Asking only for land, wealth, natural resources, total obedience to the crown and a few local words in return.
寻找土地，财富，自然资源，完全忠于国王，带回了一些外来词。
They went to the Caribbean looking for gold and a chance to really unwind – discovering the ‘barbeque’, the ‘canoe’ and a pretty good recipe for rum punch. They also brought back the word ‘cannibal’ to make their trip sound more exciting.
他们去加勒比寻找黄金，有机会真正自由的发掘出一些词汇，例如烧烤，木舟和很多朗姆潘趣酒的菜谱。
他们还带回食人者这类词汇让旅行更加刺激。
In India there was something for everyone. ‘Yoga’– to help you stay in shape, while pretending to be spiritual. If that didn’t work there was the ‘cummerbund’ to hide a paunch and - if you couldn’t even make it up the stairs without turning ‘crimson’– they had the ‘bungalow’.
在印度英国人发明了一些词汇跟每个人的生活都有点儿关系。
瑜伽让人保持身材，也试图使人精神，如果那个没有效，还有腹带来隐藏大肚子。
如果你上台阶会红脸，他们有平房。
Meanwhile in Africa they picked up words like ‘voodoo’ and ‘zombie’– kicking off the teen horror film –and even more terrifying, they brought home the world’s two most annoying musical instruments – the ‘bongo’ and the ‘banjo’.
同时在非洲，他们使用伏都教和僵尸，击败青年人的恐怖电影，更加恐怖的是他们带回世界上最吵闹的乐器，小鼓，班卓琴。
From Australia, English took the words ‘nugget’, ‘boomerang’ and ‘walkabout’ - and in fact the whole concept of chain pubs.
英国人从澳洲带来词汇，金属，回力棒，随身听，实际上还有连锁酒吧的概念。
Between toppling Napoleon (1815) and the first World War (1914), the British Empire gobbled up around 10 millions square miles, 400 million people and nearly a hundred thousand gin and tonics, leaving new varieties of English to develop all over the globe.
在拿破仑失败的那年即1815年和一战之间即1914年，英国吞没了大约1千万平方英里的土地，4亿人口，近10万的杜松烧酒和补品，使得英语在全球拓展。
