英语的由来要用英语表示并要翻译

英语（English）是印欧语系-日耳曼语族下的语言，由26个字母组成，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。英语是国际指定的官方语言（作为母语），也是世界上使用最广泛的语言，英语包含约49万词，外加技术名词约30万个，是词汇最多的语言，也是欧盟以及许多国际组织以及英联邦国家的官方语言，拥有世界第三位的母语使用者人数，仅次于汉语和西班牙语母语使用者人数。
英语由古代从丹麦等斯堪的纳维亚半岛以及德国、荷兰及周边移民至不列颠群岛的盎格鲁、撒克逊以及朱特部落的白人所说的语言演变而来，并通过英国的殖民活动传播到了世界各地。由于在历史上曾和多种民族语言接触，它的词汇从一元变为多元，语法从“多屈折”变为“少屈折”，语音也发生了规律性的变化。在19至20世纪，英国以及美国在文化、经济、军事、政治和科学在世界上的领先地位使得英语成为一种国际语言。如今，许多国际场合都使用英语做为沟通媒介。
英语也是与电脑联系最密切的语言，大多数编程语言都与英语有联系，而且随着网络的使用，英文的使用更普及。英语是联合国的工作语言之一。苏格兰语、低地撒克逊语、丹麦语、德语、荷兰语、南非荷兰语和英语也很接近。拥有法国血统的诺曼人于11世纪征服英格兰王国，带来数万法语词汇和拉丁语词汇，很大程度地丰富了英语词汇外，相对也驱使不少原生的语汇作废。

English evolved from the language spoken by the white people of Anglo, Saxon and Jute tribes who migrated from Denmark and other Scandinavian peninsulas to Germany, the Netherlands and the surrounding areas to the British Isles in ancient times, and spread to all parts of the world through British colonial activities. As a result of contacts with many national languages in history, its vocabulary has changed from monism to pluralism, its grammar has changed from "more inflections" to "less inflections", and its pronunciation has also undergone regular changes. In the 19th and 20th centuries, the leading position of Britain and the United States in culture, economy, military, politics and Science in the world made English an international language. Nowadays, English is used as a medium of communication in many international occasions.

English is also the language most closely related to computers. Most programming languages are related to English, and with the use of the Internet, the use of English is more popular. English is one of the working languages of the United Nations. Scottish, lowland Saxon, Danish, German, Dutch, South African Dutch and English are also very close. The Normans of French descent conquered the Kingdom of England in the 11th century, bringing tens of thousands of French and Latin vocabulary, enriching English vocabulary to a great extent, and driving many native vocabulary to be abolished.
