美国名称的由来的英文作文
美国名称的由来的英文作文英文：The name "America" actually comes from the Latinversion of the name of the Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci. In 1507, a German mapmaker named MartinWaldseemüller created a map of the world and labeled the newly discovered landmass as "America" in honor of Vespucci. This name eventually stuck and became the official name for the continent and later the country.The United States of America, often referred to as the U.S. or simply America, has a name that reflects itshistory and the influence of European explorers and settlers. The name "America" has become synonymous with freedom, opportunity, and the American dream. It is a name that evokes images of vast landscapes, bustling cities, and diverse cultures.中文：美国这个名字实际上来自于意大利探险家阿美利哥·韦斯普奇的拉丁语版本。
1507年，德国地图制作者马丁·瓦尔德塞米勒制作了一幅世界地图，并将新发现的大陆标记为“美洲”，以纪念韦斯普奇。

Due to their common history and belonging to the Holy Roman Empire until 1806, German-speaking Austrians were historically regarded as Germans, but after the founding of a German national state, the German Empire in 1871, and after the events of World War II and Nazism, this has fallen out of fashion and is often considered offensive.Austrians have also been defined by their national citizenship, which had, in the course of Austrian history, varying relations to the above, for example referring to a native German-speaker of the one-time Habsburg empire, or in a wider sense to any citizen of any of the various lands of that empire that did not form the Hungarian half of Austria-Hungary. In the latter sense, the definition included many ethnic minoritiesand speakers of up to twelve different languages.HistoryMain article: History of Austria[edit] Ancient timesMain articles: Hallstatt culture, Noricum, and March of AustriaDuring the Migration Period, the Slavic tribe of the Carantanians migrated into the Alps in the wake of the expansion of their Avar overlords during the 7th century, mixed with the Celto-Romanic population, and established the realm of Carantania, which covered much of eastern and central Austrian territory. In the meantime, the Germanic tribe of the Bavarians had developed in the 5th and 6th century in the west of the country and in Bavaria, while what is today V orarlberg had been settled by the Alemans. Those groups mixed with the Rhaeto-Romanic population and pushed it up into the mountains.[edit] Medieval timesOver time the Bavarii and Alamanni were conquered by another Germanic people, the Franks, and were incorporated in their empire. The Frankish Empire eventually evolved into the Holy Roman Empire, a vast multi ethnical Empire mostly located in Central Europe. Eventually Vienna, Austria's capital, grew to become the secret capital of the Holy Roman Empire and a cultural centre for arts and science, music and fine cuisine.In 1278 the territory, by then corresponding roughly to what are now Upper and Lower Austria, passed to the House of Habsburg, with whose history it became closely associated until the early 20th century. Within a century the Habsburgs had added Carinthia, Styria, Carniola, and Tyrol to their rule, thus effectively controlling most of the territory of the modern Republic of Austria. Being ruled from the Duchy of Austria, the name of the duchy came to be informally applied to all these territories collectively, and hence their inhabitants also became known as Austrians.The Habsburgs greatly increased their political prestige and power with the acquisition of the lands of the crowns of Hungary and Bohemia in 1526. Hungary was more successful at retaining its cultural identity than Bohemia, which underwent a period of intense German colonisation, coupled with Germanization. However, the longer history under rule from Vienna, and some common German-speaking identity in lands such as Carinthia, Styria, or Tyrol, created a sense of Austrian identity. [edit] Early Modern TimesAlthough not formally a united state, the lands ruled by the Habsburgs would sometimes be known, at least to outsiders, by the name Austria. In reality they remained a disparate range of semi-autonomous states, most of which were part of the complex network of states that was the Holy Roman Empire (the imperial institutions of which were themselves controlled for much of their later existence by the Habsburgs). However, the second half of the 18th century saw an increasingly centralised state begin to develop under the regency of Maria Theresa of Austria and her son Joseph II. After the French Revolution and the rise of Napoleon, the emperor Franz II formally founded the Austrian Empire in 1804 and became as Franz I the first Austrian emperor. For the first time the citizens of the various territories were nowcitizens of the one same state, while the other German-speaking states still cultivated their Kleinstaaterei and didn't succeed in forming a homogenous empire before 1871 when the German Empire was founded.A further major change resulted from a reorganisation of the empire in 1867 into a dual monarchy, with the Kingdom of Hungary gaining a considerable amount of political autonomy as one of the two halves. The other half remained a patchwork of states, broadly coterminous with the modern-day Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, and parts of Poland, Ukraine, Italy, and Croatia. These non-Hungarian lands, formally known as "the Kingdoms and States Represented in the Imperial Council" were sometimes known as Austria, for want of a better name. An alternative label in this context is Cisleithania.[edit] Modern times[edit] 19th-century nationalismFor more details on this topic, see Pan-Germanism.The Austrian lands had also been members of the Habsburg-dominated German Confederation since 1815. This split political personality also reflected a cultural uncertainty as to whether the German-speaking peoples under Austrian rule were Austrian, or German, or both. The developing sense of a German nationality had been accelerated massively as a consequence of the political turmoil and wars that engulfed Central Europe following the French Revolution and the rise to power of Napoleon Bonaparte. Although the years of peace after Napoleon's fall quickly saw German nationalism largely pushed out of the public political arena, the Revolutions of 1848 established it as a significant political issue for a period of over twenty years. Political debate centred on the nature of a possible future German state to replace the Confederation, and part of that debate concerned the issue of whether or not the Austrian lands had a place in the Germany polity.Habsburg influence over the German Confederation was rivalled by the increasingly powerful Prussian state. Political manoeuvering by the Prussian chancellor Otto von Bismarck resulted in military defeat of the Austrians in 1866 and the collapse of the Confederation, both effectively ending any future Austrian influence on German political events. The so-called Franco-Prussian War and the establishment of a German Empire, headed by Prussia and pointedly excluding any of the Austrian lands, diminished the influence of pan-Germanism in the Habsburg territories, and worked to reinforce the sense of a distinctively Austrian identity as the state turned away from Germany and turned its gaze towards the Balkan Peninsula.[edit] The 20th centuryThe last year of World War I saw the collapse of Habsburg authority throughout an increasingly greater part of its empire, and the military surrender in November 1918 finally brought with it the abdication of the last emperor. The creation of the Czecho-Slovak and South Slav states, full independence for a rump Hungary, and the post-war treaties imposed by the victorious Allies combined to see the newly-established Austrian republic both with the boundaries it has today, and a largely homogeneous German-speaking population. However, German-speaking communities were also left scattered throughout the other new states, as well as in thesouthern part of Tyrol which now found itself part of Italy.Initially the republic took the name German Austria, initially reflecting the republic being the German-speaking part of the old Austria and showing the popular desire to unite with the new German republic. This hope was to be dashed by the Treaty of Saint-Germain in 1919, and the new state changed its name to Republic of Austria on 21 October 1919.Desire for unity with Germany was motivated both by a sense of common national identity, and also by a fear that the new state, stripped of its one-time imperial possessions, and surrounded by potentially hostile nation-states, would not be economically viable.By 1938, with Nazi governments in control of both Berlin and Vienna, the country was annexed to Germany (Anschluss) as Ostmark. In 1942 the name was changed to the Danubian and Alpine Districts, thus eradicating any links with an Austrian national past[edit] Post World War IIThe end of World War II in 1945 saw the re-establishment of an independent Austria, although the Allied Powers remained in occupation until 1955.Austrians, wishing to distance themselves from the Third Reich, decided to develop a self-image unambiguously separate from its neighbour, basing itself on cultural achievements of the past and, though not without controversy, the centuries of Habsburgs rule.Unlike in the early 19th century, in 1987 only 6 percent of the Austrians identified themselves as "Germans". Indeed, being (mis)identified as one can cause resentment. In 1993 80 percent of the Austrians called Austria an independent nation and 12 percent said, it is growing to one.[8] [9] The logic of the existence of an independent Austrian state is no longer questioned as it was in the early years of its existence. Austria's history and geographical location has resulted in recent[weasel words] immigration from Slovenia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, Romania, and Poland. As with neighbouring Germany, there has also been immigration from Turkey and former Yugoslav states such as Croatia and Serbia.[edit] CultureMain article: Austrian cultureCulture on the territory of what is today Austria can be traced back to around 1050 B.C. with the Hallstatt and La Tène cultures. However, a culture of Austria as we know it today began to take shape when the Austrian lands were part of the Holy Roman Empire, with the Privilegium Minus of 1156, which elevated Austria to the status of a Duchy, marking an important step in its development. Austrian culture has largely been influenced by its neighbours, Italy, Germany, Hungary and Bohemia. [edit] LanguageMain article: Austrian GermanFurther information: German languageAustrian German is a variety of the German language spoken in Austria. There is no unitary Austrian language, but a variety of High German dialects are spoken. Besides the Germanic languages discussed here, minority languages such as Slovenian,Croatian, and Hungarian are spoken in parts of the country.Ordinarily, the latter dialects are considered to belong either to the Central Austro-Bavarian or Southern Austro-Bavarian subgroups, with the latter encompassing the languages of the Tyrol, Carinthia, and Styria and the former including the dialects of Vienna, Upper Austria, and Lower Austria. The dialect spoken in V orarlberg is more closely related to Swiss German than it is to other Austrian dialects, so Austrians from outside V orarlberg can have difficulties understanding it.While strong forms of the various dialects are not normally comprehensible to most German speakers, there is virtually no communication barrier along the border between Austria and Germany, since people on both sides of the border speak very similarly. The Central Austro-Bavarian dialects are more intelligible to speakers of Standard German than the Southern Austro-Bavarian dialects of Tirol. Viennese, the Austro-Bavarian dialect of Vienna, is most frequently used in Germany for impersonations of the typical inhabitant of Austria.[edit] CuisineMain article: Austrian CuisineAustrian cuisine, which is often incorrectly equated with Viennese cuisine, is derived from the cuisine of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In addition to native regional traditions it has been influenced above all by Hungarian, Czech, Jewish, and Italian cuisines, from which both dishes and methods of food preparation have often been borrowed. Goulash is one example of this. Austrian cuisine is known primarily in the rest of the world for its pastries and sweets. In recent times a new regional cuisine has also developed which is centred on regional produce and employs modern and easy methods of preparation.[citation needed]。
Duolingo---Basics 1
Duolingo---Basics 1Tips and notesCapitalizing NounsIn German, all nouns are capitalized. For example, "my name" is "mein Name," and "the apple" is "der Apfel." This helps you identify which are the nouns in a sentence.Three Grammatical Genders, Three Types of NounsNouns in German are either feminine, masculine or neuter. For example, "Frau" (woman) is feminine, "Mann" (man) is masculine, and "Kind" (child) is neuter. The grammatical gender may not match the biological gender: "Mädchen" (girl) is a neu ter noun.It is important to learn every noun along with its gender because parts of German sentences change depending on the gender of their nouns. In case you need to guess, the most common gender is masculine.Generally speaking, the definite article "die" (the) and the indefinite article "eine" (a/an) are used for feminine nouns, "der" and "ein" for masculine nouns, and "das" and "ein" for neuter nouns. For example, it is "die Frau," "der Mann," and "das Kind." However, later you will see that this changes depending on something called the "case of the noun."UmlautsUmlauts are the two dots you see above some vowels in German words, such as in "Mädchen." Literally, "Umlaut" means "around the sound," because its function is to change how the vowel sounds.An umlaut can sometimes indicate the plural of a word. For example, the plural of "Mutter" (mother) is "Mütter."Verb ConjugationVerb Conjugation in German is more challenging than in English. To conjugate a regular verb in the present tense, identify the invariant stem of the verb and add the ending corresponding to any of the grammatical persons, which you can simply memorize:English Person E nding German ExampleI -e ich spieleYou (singular) -st du spielstHe/She/It -t er/sie/es spieltWe -en wir spielenYou (plural) -t ihr spieltYou (formal) -en Sie spielenThey -en sie spielenNotice that the 1st and the 3rd person plural have the same ending as "you (formal)."as "you (formal)."。

Unit1_What's_in_a_Name
Unit 1 What's in a Name?TEACHER: Good morning, everybody. Good morning, Felipe, Monica, Theo,…and I can't remember your name.STUDENT 1：Patricia.TEACHER: Patricia, right, Patricia. Those are all beautiful names, and that's our topic today—names. Names are a cultural universal(n 通用, cultural universal 文化普及). This means everyone uses names. A person's name can tell us a bit about a person's family. Today, we'll begin by looking at first names and how people choose names for their children. And then we'll talk about family names, and look at the different categories of family names. Although the scope 范围of the lecture today is English-language names, we can use the same approach方法, you know, to look at (consider)看，朝…看；看待；考虑，研究names from any culture. Let's take a brief look at first, or given, names. There are several ways parents choose the first name for their child. The first way is by family history. Parents may choose a name because it is passed from generation to generation; for example, the firstborn son might be named after his father or grandfather. Although family names are also passed to daughters，it is usually as a middle name. Adding "junior" or "the second"—for example, William Parker the second—is only done with与…有关boys' ，not with girls' names. The second way parents choose a name is after a family member or friend who has died recently, or after someone they admire, like a well-known leader or a famous musician．Although most English first names mean something, for example,“Richard" means powerful and "Ann" means grace, nowadays meaning is not the main reason people select their baby's name.The third way is to provide a "push" for the child. Parents want to choose a name that sounds very "successful.”A strong name might help them in the business world, for example. Or they might choose a name that works for either gender, like Taylor or Terry. So, given these three methods, what is the most common way parents choose a name? Many parents choose a name simply because they like it, or because it's fashionable or classic. Fashions in names change just as they do in clothes. One hundred years ago, many names came from the Bible-names such as Daniel, and Anna, and Hannah and Matthew. Then, fifty years ago, Biblical names went out of fashion. Nowadays, names from the Bible are becoming popular again. Similarly, parents often choose classic names, names that were popular in 1900, 1950, and are still popular now. Classic names for boys include Thomas, David, Robert, and Michael. And for girls: Anna, Elizabeth, Emily, and Katherine, just to name a few. They're classic. They never go out of style.Let's look at the origin of last names, also called family names or surnames 姓. Researchers have studied thousands of last names, and they've divided them into four categories.The categories are: place names, patronymics 源于父名的姓, added names, and occupational 职业的names. A recent survey showed that of the 7,000 most popular names in the United States today, 43 percent were place names，32percent were patronymics, 15 percent were occupational names, and 9 percent were added names.The first category is place names. Place names usually identified 鉴定where a person lived or worked. Someone named John Hill lived near a hill，for example, and the Rivers family lived near a river. If you hear the name Emma Bridges,…what image do you see? Do you see a family that lives near a bridge? If you do, you get the idea.The second category is patronymics. That's P-A-T-R-O-N-Y-M-I-C-S. A patronymic is the father's name, plus an ending like S-E-N or S-O-N．The ending means that a child, a boy, is the son of his father. The names Robertson, Petersen, and Wilson are patronymics. Robertson is son of Robert, Petersen is son of Peter, and so on.The third category is added names. Linguists sometimes call this category "nicknames," but when most of us hear the word "nickname," we think of a special name a friend or a parent might use. The word "nickname" is actually an old English word that means an additional name, an added name. So I'll use the term "added name.”This category of last names is fun because the names usually described a person. Reed, Baldwin, and Biggs are examples. Reed was from "red" for red hair. Baldwin was someone who was bald秃(头)的, someone who had little or no hair. And Biggs?STUDENT 2: Someone big?TEACHER: Yeah, someone big, right. Now, if we look around the room, we could probably come up with some new last names, like, uh, Curly or Strong.Now, the fourth category is occupational names. The origin of the family name was the person’s occup ation. The most common examples of occupational names still used today are Baker (someone who bakes bread)，Tailor (someone who sews clothes), Miller磨坊主人(someone who makes flour for bread)，and Smith,…Now, Smith is actually the most common name in the western English-speaking world. The name comes from an Old English word, smite，that's S-M-I-T-E，which means to hit or strike. In the old days, a smith made metal things for daily life, like tools. Every town needed smiths. What's interesting is that many languages have a family name that means Smith．In Arabic it is Haddad，H-A-D-D-A-D. In Spanish it is Herrera, H-E-R-R-E-R-A. In Italian it is Ferraro，F-E-R-R-A-R-O．And in German it is Schmidt, spelled S-C-H-M-I-D-T All these names mean smith.Though names may tell us something about someone's family history, you need to keep in mind that they may not tell us much at all about the present. For example, there's usually not much connection between the origin of the name and the person who has it now. Take the name Cook, for instance. A person named Cook today probably doesn't cook for a living. Also, many people change their names for various reasons. Lots of people who have moved to the United States have changed their names to sound more American. This happens less now than in the past, but people still do it. People also use pen names or stage names to give themselves a professional advantage. For example, the writer Samuel Clemens used the pen name Mark Twain, and Thomas Mapother IV uses the stage name Tom Cruise.So, let's recap 翻新胎面, 重述要点now. In today's lesson, we looked at 考虑，研究how parents choose English first names. We also looked at some common origins of family names. In the next class, we'll look at how names are given in Korea and in Japan. This is covered in the next section of the book. That's all for today.Happiness Lecture AudioscriptFrom Teacher’s Pack, Contemporary Topics 1-3TEACHER: Did you hear about the lottery winner last night? The man won...what?...Two million dollars...? STUDENT: No, three.TEACHER: Three million dollars? Three million. That's a lot of money isn't it? Do you think that three milliondollars would make you happy? ... I’m asking you this because when you ask people what they need to be happy, many people will answer “more money!” We assume that money will make us happier. But is this true?Will winning the lottery help you achieve happiness?Today we’re going to look at the idea of happiness, at the psychology of happiness—what makes some peoplehappier than others. We’ll look at three personality factors that we find in happy people. To find out about thesepersonality factors, psychologists talked to hundreds of people. Now, first, they asked the people how happy they felt—you know, from” very happy” to “not happy at all.” Then they asked some more questions. They w anted to find out about people’s personalities, such as their attitudes about life, and so on. They looked at thedifferences between happy people and unhappy people. They found three factors that are very important for achieving happiness. So…let’s look at those factors now.The first personality factor is that happy people are...satisfied with themselves. This means that they like themselves as they are, and they’re happy with what they have. Happy people may not like everything about their lives—they may be a little bit overweight, or may not have the best job, or may not live in a big, fancy house, but they don’t need to change those things to be happy. They think more about things they are satisfiedwith, not the changes they want to make. This feeling of happiness comes from the inside, not from somethingoutside.TEACHER: So…happy people feel satisfied with themselves. On the other hand, unhappy people are often dissatisfied with themselves. They…uh…feel that something must change so they can be happy. They think ifthey lose some weight or get a better job or nicer house they will be happy. They are always looking for something outside themselves to make them happy. But the problem is—they never find it! No matter what theyget, they’re st ill dissatisfied and unhappy.The second personality factor is that happy people are optimistic—they look at the positive side of lift, not thenegative. Now, we all have problems, whether we’re happy or not. But when happy people have problems, theyas sume that things will improve. They don’t worry a lot and think about all the bad things that can happen. Instead, they have a positive attitude. However, unhappy people are the opposite. They are optimistic and don’thave a positive attitude. When they have a problem, they think about how bad everything is and assume that it’llget worse. So they make themselves even more unhappy when they think about all the bad things that might happen.Finally, the third personality factor is that happy people have good relationships with other people. They try tohave close, loving relationships are one of the most important factors in achieving happiness. So happy peopledon’t spend all their time building their careers or trying to make money. They also spend t ime building relationships with friends and family. Now, on the other hand, unhappy people don’t have as many close relationships. They may have trouble making friends. Or they may spend all their time working and then find that they’re very lonely and unhappy. But for whatever reason, they don’t have close relationships and this makes them unhappy.So…what does this tell us? Well, if you want to be happier, don’t assume that winning the lottery will help. There are other, more important factors for ac hieving happiness. Now, let’s take a break, and when we come back we’ll talk more about the factors that make a person happy。

German Names
Surnames
Surnames
were gradually introduced in German-speaking Europe during the Late
Middle Ages. Many of such surnames are derived(起源) from nicknames. They are
generally classified into four groups by derivation: given names, job designations, bodily
attributes, and toponyms(地名) (including references to named buildings). Also, many
family names display characteristic features of the dialect(方言) of the region they
originated in.
Popular given names
Traditionally, there are dialectal differences between the regions of German-speaking
Europe, especially visible in the forms of hypocorisms(爱称). These differences are still
perceptible in the list of most popular names, even though they are marginalized(被排斥
的) by super-regional fashionable trends: As of 2012, the top ten given names of
Baden-Württemberg (Southern Germany) and of Schleswig-Holstein (Northern Germany)
are Ben, Paul, Finn, Luca, Max (male), Mia, Emma, Lea, Leonie, Anna, Lena, Hanna, while
Schleswig-Holstein retains the traditionally northern (Low German) forms Lasse (male)
and Neele (female) in the top ten.
