跋:有关英语词汇史系列文章之起因皆源于我与袁新民(《不再背单词》系列丛书的作者)老师的一次通话。与袁老师的相识最初是通过博客上留言交流而开始的,通过袁老师的博客我又有幸认识了丁朝阳,城市稻草人和摩西。大家皆因对英语词汇和词源探究之热情和执着而相识相知。然当下英语学习与教学浮躁之风喧嚣尘上,打着词源速记,词源解析之名曲解英语词源的教师仍在课堂之上“自我陶醉”于误导对词源知识知之甚少的求学子弟。有鉴于此,为了传播正确的词源和词汇知识,我们这些志同道合者组建了“中国英语词源教研中心”,其宗旨仅为传播和讲授英语词源记忆和词汇演变的真实情况。大家让我写有关英语史的版块,这是个很大的命题和挑战。关于题目我思量许久,乃怀惴惴之心仅从英语词汇之径对英语的历史略作剖析。虽蚍蜉撼树,却也勉力行之,也算是为“中国英语词源教研中心”略尽绵薄之力。寥寥数语,是以为记。

Language, from its literal perspective, carries the responsibility of not only the hunman being’s communication bridge but the transitional media of human’s culutre.
When it comes to the origins of language, especially English. There
