17、smates.他已经不再受同学们的欢迎了.第 4 页：参考译文英语里的昵称“darling”和“my dove”等已经流传百年，但有些词汇却备受冷落。如今，大量的英语词汇和短语被发布在网上，从中你可以找到一千年以来更多的英语表达。马克亚历山大博士是格拉斯哥大学的高级英语讲师。瓦洛里桑德森向他请教更多的英语废词和短语。多年来，为什么语言的变化如此之大？70%左右的英语词汇都是借过来的。为丰富英语词汇，我们借来了更好的或不同的单词。所以像”belly”这样的单词就逐渐被拉丁语“abdomen”替代了。就是因为人们都爱卖弄，喜欢生活中的多样性。或者因为中产阶级想使用一个不一样的词和工人阶级区分开来，
