内容简介

　　The English language has a shorter history as a means of widespread communication， perhaps only a few hundred years. Its pedigree is longer than that， though because it traces its roots as a Germanic language with many influences from Latin， classical Greek and French， all links that preceded it by hundreds of years. Because of historical circumstances， especially the quest of the British people for exploration and world trade from the 16th century on， and because of the Industrial Revolution of the 18th century， English has come to be the single most widely used language in the world today. Many people who do not use English as their first language find it is convenient to communicate with others through the use of English. Indeed， the person who can communicate in English has instant access to fellow human beings all over the world. As stated in this series， English has become "the matter-of-fact lingua franca."　　It is also the case that these days people all over the world have found new ways to communicate through language. This is so because of the blindingly fast advances in technology. We are able to see and hear each other instantaneously regardless of where we are in the geographic world. We can talk and laugh and share ideas quite easily through the Internet. It can store， examine， change and convey amazing amounts of information， all ofit created by human beings and intended for other human beings. Through this technology we can speak and revise our statements， we can make friends and inform others， we can express our ideas and learn new information much more quickly and with greater ease than has ever been possible in the past.
