English has borrowed a lot of words from other languages in history. English borrowed words mainly from French, German, Italian and Arabic. Borrowed words from French contain words for food and eating such as restaurant, words for jobs such as dentist and words for relaxation such as ballet. At weddings in the west, they have confetti which people throw over the newly-weds. This is an Italian word, meaning the small pieces of colored paper. What"s more, Italy was famous for music and opera in the 18th century, so English borrowed many words for music and opera from Italian. In the early times, Italians liked to be at war with other countries, words for military jobs, for example, colonel, also became an English word. One reason that so many German words in English is that the Germans were very clever at inventing things. They invented the clock to ensure they were on time. Englishmen also use clock for this purpose in English. Many of the words for fast food or snacks in English also come from German, including the famous hamburger. We all know the fact that the Arabs were good traders and they brought in many Arabic words in English, such as coffee and alcohol. We all use Arabic numbers, and zero is an Arabic English word. English has borrowed many words from other languages and, of course, it will. | |||||||

When you arrive at the Shanghai Expo site, the first thing you will see is a huge red building in the ancient Chinese dougong (斗拱) architectural (建筑的) style. Built according to the concept of "Oriental Crown", the China Pavilion (展厅) is the largest national pavilion at the Expo. Themed "Search of the East", the pavilion is divided into three sections. Footprint of the East on the top floor shows the change of Chinese cities; a Journey of Wisdom on the second floor, China"s four great inventions-the compass, paper, printing and gunpowder are displayed; and Blossoming (盛开的) City on the ground floor shows the scenery of future cities. Take a lift, and you"ll be taken to the 8,500-square-meter top floor. There, in a film by Lu Chuan, you"ll see how Chinese cities have changed, especially over the past 30 years. The 10-minute movie is shown in a 600- seat theater. The painting Along the River During Qingming Festival, is considered a national treasure. It describes life in Bianjing, which is today"s Kaifeng in Henan province. More than 1,000 years ago, it was the largest city in the world. Multimedia technology makes more than 1,500 characters of the painting walk and move along a 100-meter-long wall. Four families are chosen from Zhejiang province to show their daily lives. Films of the families and furniture from the households are exhibited. At the pavilion, you"ll get insight into the daily lives of these families at different periods.
