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.。

Unit 2 English around the world【单元导航】中国式英语欧洲人做过精细的统计，自1994年以来加入国际英语行列的词汇中，中式英语贡献了5%到20%，超过任何其他来源。

除“孔夫子(Confucious)”、“中国功夫(kung fu)”、“麻将(mahjong)”或者“豆腐(tofu)”之类绝无仅有的称谓，再挑拣几个真正有中国气质、代表华夏气派、并影响全球当代生活的“鸡蛋词”。

(一)丝绸——silk中国是养蚕大国，丝绸的故乡。

“silk”的发音，显然是汉语的音译，这个词代表了中国高超的工艺技术和贸易强势。

即便现在，丝绸仍在现代生活中充当雍容华丽、典雅高贵的象征。

(二)茶——tea这个词，又是英国人从拗口的闽南话里偷走的。

茶，和丝绸、瓷器比肩，堪称古代中国对外贸易的拳头产品。

目前，品茶代表了一种生活方式和文化品位。

18世纪的柴斯特顿勋爵在《训子家书》里写道：“尽管茶来自东方，它毕竟是绅士气味的；而可可则是个痞子、懦夫，一头粗野的猛兽。

”(三)世外桃源——Shangrila (Xanadu)这是两个近义词，都有“世外桃源”的意思。

“Shangrila”出自西藏的传说之地——香格里拉，“Xanadu”则是蒙古的元上都。

如果要表达“世外桃源”，通常采用“Xanadu”这个词。

(四)风水——Feng Shui风水，还是音译。

它凝聚了古代中国在活人住宅和死人墓地方面的集体智慧。

近年来，风水在美国红极一时，从中国人唇齿之间发出的音节，已经成为当代人急需探究的学问。

(五)走狗——running dogs中国式英语“running dogs”贴切地表达了一种见利忘义、供人驱使的“下三烂”。

最先运用这个词的是中国人，还是英国人，已无从考证；重要的是，英语世界接纳了“走狗”，并以汉语的思维抚育这个“外来词”。

接纳词汇的同时，无形中也接受了中国人的价值观。

(六)大款、巨亨——tycoon这种称呼是近些年才流行街巷的，指有钱、有势的商人或者企业家，中国传统的叫法是“大掌柜”。

教学过程Step 1 Warming-up and lead-in (8 mins)(1) 小测试: 对比阅读Robert Burns的诗A Red Red Rose和一首现代诗(4 mins)T: Hello, class. You have all been learning English for at least 3 years. But how good is your English? How much do you know about English? Today, let’s look here and have a test to see how good your English is. Here is a poem by Robert Burns, who was an English poet, or exactly, a Scottish poet. This poem, A Red Red Rose, is one of the most famous in the world. Read it and listen. Let’s see if you have any difficulty in understanding it.A Red Red RoseRobert BurnsO, my Luve's like a red, red roseThat's newly sprung in June;O, my Luve's like the melodie,That's sweetly play'd in tune.As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,So deep in luve am I;And I will luve thee still, my dear,Till a' the seas gang dry.Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,And the rocks melt wi' the sun;I will luve thee still, my dear,While the sands o' life shall run.And fare thee well, my only Luve!And fare thee well, a while!And I will come again, my Luve,Tho' it were ten thousand mile!T: Did you find it easy or difficult? What about this one? This poem was written by a modern writer.I Am Not YoursI am not yours, not lost in you,Not lost, although I long to beLost as a candle lit at noon,Lost as a snowflake in the sea.You love me, and I find you stillA spirit beautiful and bright,Yet I am I, who long to beLost as a light is lost in light.Oh plunge me deep in love—put outMy senses, leave me deaf and blind,Swept by the tempest of your love,A taper in a rushing wind.T: Why is the first poem difficult to understand while the second one not? (Mainly because of some of the words used in the first poem, which are not often used now. Robert Burns lived in the 18th century while the writer of the second poem is a modern poet.) So we can see people in the past used different words from what is used today.(2) 听一段一位学生和来自澳大利亚的外教的对话(4 mins)T: Now, when one day Qiu Zhensong met our foreign teacher Zak, who is from Australia, what happened? Let’s welcome Zak and Qiu Zhensong.(After the dialogue, the foreign teacher explained.) Did you understand our dialogue? (Ss: No.) What’s the difficulty? (Different words were used in Australia which you do not know in American or British English.) T: So from the two poems and the dialogue we can see people from different countries speak different English and people in different times also use different English. How did the difference come about?[意图说明] 引入话题：不同时代、不同国家所使用的英语有所不同。
