People are aware that English has 26 letters. But the 26 letters of origin, I am afraid people will not know more. It turned out that the letters originated from the Latin alphabet, the Latin origins in the Greek alphabet, and Greek letters by the Phoenician alphabet evolved. Phoenician is on the east coast of the Mediterranean countries with ancient civilizations and their location today about Lebanon and Syria along the coast. "Phoenician" is the Greek name for the region, which means "purple state", as a result of the rich and named after the purple dye. The Romans were known as the "Punic."In the early 20th century BC, Phoenician in some small city-state of slavery, but never a unified country.

About 13th century BC, the Phoenicians in the history of mankind has created the first batch of letters words, a total of 22 letters (without vowels). This is the Phoenicians of the great contribution to human culture. Phoenician alphabet is one of the world start writing letters.

The Greek-letter Latin alphabet and letter of all Western countries. In the East, it is derived from the United States and Asia Allah letter, which has evolved in India, Arab, Hebrew, Persian, and other peoples letters.

中文翻译:人们都知道,英文有26个字母。但这26个字母的来历,知道的人恐怕就不多了。
原来,英文字母渊源于拉丁字母,拉丁字母渊源于希腊字母,而希腊字母则是由腓尼基字母演变而来的。 腓尼基是地中海东岸的文明古国,其地理位置大约相当于今天黎巴嫩和叙利亚的沿海一带。
“腓尼基”是希腊人对这一地区的称谓,意思是“紫色之国”,因该地盛产紫色染料而得名。罗马人则称之为“布匿”。
公元前20世纪初,在腓尼基产生一些小的奴隶制城邦,但从未形成统一的国家。在古代,腓尼基以工商业和航海业闻名于世。
至公元前10世纪前后,其活动范围已达今塞浦路斯、西西里岛、撒丁岛、法国、西班牙和北部非洲,并建立了许多殖民地。公元前8世纪以后,亚述、新巴比伦等国相继侵入腓尼基。
公元前6世纪,腓尼基终于被波斯帝国兼并。 大约公元前13世纪,腓尼基人创造了人类历史上第一批字母文字,共22个字母(无元音)。
这是腓尼基人对人类文化的伟大贡献。腓尼基字母是世界字母文字的开端。
在西方,它派生出古希腊字母,后者又发展为拉丁字母和斯拉夫字母。而希腊字母和拉丁字母是所有西方国家字母的基础。
在东方,它派生出阿拉美亚。
2.英语的来源(用英语)
Originated from the Anglo-Frisian dialect, it was introduced to Britain when the Germans (mainly from today's northwestern Germany and the Netherlands) invaded. The original Old English consisted of a number of dialects, which also reflected the fact that the origins of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom on the Isle of England were diverse. One of these dialects, the late West Saxon eventually became the language of unified English. The English language has undergone tremendous changes in the Middle Ages. Written Old English in 1000 AD is similar in vocabulary and grammar to other ancient Germanic languages (such as Old High German, Ancient Norse), and modern people cannot understand Old English at this time. The English that modern people know is largely similar to the written Middle English in 1400 AD. This shift was caused by two invasions in history. The first was an invasion from the Northern Germanic branch (also known as the Scandinavian branch), which conquered and made part of the British Isles their colony in AD VIII and IX. The second was the invasion of the Normans in the eleventh century. The ancient Norman language they spoke eventually developed into a variant of English called Anglo-Norman. Close interaction with Scandinavia has led to a large number of grammatical simplifications in English, as well as the expansion of the Anglo-Frisian vocabulary (the language is at the heart of English). However, these changes did not affect the southwestern part of England until the 9th century. It is precisely because of this that the ancient English of the region has gradually developed into a sound language. When written English first came to the fore, it was based on the spoken language of the London region, which is closer to the center of the Scandinavian colony. Most of the vocabulary related to technology and culture evolved from the ancient Norman language, especially by the church, the court and the ruling class. Later in the Renaissance, like most other developing European languages (such as German, Dutch, Latin, and Ancient Greek), Norman and French were replaced as the main language source. At this point, English has formed a mixed form in which the vocabulary is borrowed in large quantities and the sources of different vocabularies are different.起源于盎格鲁-弗里西亚方言,是在日耳曼人(主要来自今天的德国西北地区以及荷兰)入侵时被引入不列颠的。
最初的古英语由多种方言组成,这也同时也反映了当时英格兰岛上的盎格鲁-撒克逊王国的起源具有多样性这一事实。这些方言其中的一种,晚期西撒克逊语最终成为了统一英语的语言。
扩展资料 英语语言在中世纪经历了巨大的变化。公元1000年的书面古英语在词汇和语法上与其他古日耳曼语(如古高地德语、古诺尔斯语)相似,现代人完全不能理解这个时期的古英语。
现代人所认识的英语,很大程度上和公元1400年的书面中古英语相似。与斯堪的那维亚半岛的密切来往引起了英语中大量的语法简化,同时也扩充了盎格鲁-弗里西亚语的词汇量(该语言处于英语核心地位)。
然而,直到公元9世纪这些改变都还没有影响到英格兰的西南地区。也正是因为如此,该地区的古英语得以渐渐发展成为一门健全的语言。
文艺复兴时期,取代了诺曼语和法语作为主要语言来源。至此,英语形成了一种词汇大量外借、不同词汇的来源迥异的混合形态。

4.关于中秋节的来历用英语怎么写
Mid-Autumn Day中秋节
农历八月十五是我国传统的中秋佳节,“一年月色最明夜,千里人心共赏时”。中秋因恰值三秋之半而得名,又叫团圆节或月夕、仲秋节、八月节等。有关中秋节的来历众说不一,据专家考证,在中国传统的三大节日——春节、端午和中秋中,中秋节形成最晚。不过,与其他传统节日一样,中秋也有着悠久的源头,它的历史可以追溯到远古的敬月习俗和秋祀活动。
我国古代很早就有祭祀月亮的礼俗,据《周礼》记载,周代已有“中秋夜迎寒”、“秋分夕月(拜月)”的活动;农历八月中旬,又是秋粮收获之际,人们为了答谢神祗的护佑而举行一系列仪式和庆祝活动,称为“秋报”。中秋时节,气温已凉未寒,天高气爽,月朗中天,正是观赏月亮的最佳时令。因此,后来祭月的成分便逐渐为赏月所替代,祭祀的色彩逐渐褪去,而这一节庆活动却延续下来,并被赋予了新的含义。
在中秋节的演变过程中,古老的礼俗与众多神话传说及中华传统文化中其他诸多因素结合在一起,最终形成了内涵丰富的重要节庆。这其中最有名的就是围绕着月宫的一系列神话,如嫦娥奔月、吴刚伐桂、唐明皇游月宫等,它们给月宫挂上了七彩霓虹般神秘绚丽的光环,使之充满浪漫色彩。唐代中秋赏月宴饮之俗已颇为盛行。从流传下来的众多描写中秋的诗句中,可以看到当时已把嫦娥奔月等神话与中秋赏月联系在一起了。唐朝初年,中秋节可能已成为固定的节日。不过,当时中秋节似乎还是以赏月和玩月为主,还没有在民间广泛流行。
中秋节的正式形成尤其是在民间盛行应是宋代的事情。北宋,正式定八月十五为中秋节,并出现了“小饼如嚼月,中有酥和饴”的节令食品,赏月、吃月饼、赏桂、观潮等节庆活动蔚然成风。明清时期,中秋始与元旦齐名,成为我国仅次于春节的第二大传统节日。每逢中秋,各家都要设“月光位”,准备瓜果月饼,“向月供而拜”,所供月饼必须是圆的,瓜果切成如莲花般的牙瓣。街市出售月光纸,上面绘有月神和玉兔捣药等图案。祭月后将月光纸焚烧,所供的果饼分给家中的每个成员。中秋节是合家团圆的日子,人们互相馈赠月饼表达良好祝愿,很多人家还要设宴赏月,一片佳节盛况。
明清以来,中秋节日益在人们的生活中占据着重要的位置,不仅全国各地,甚至在我国很多少数民族和东南亚等地逐渐传播开来。在赏月、吃月饼等活动的基础上,各地还逐渐发展出“卖兔儿爷”、“树中秋”、“舞火龙”、“走月亮”等丰富多彩的节庆活动,使得中秋节作为我国传统节日具有更多的文化内涵,更加迷人。
