（注意：翻译做在试卷二上。）
For three centuries after the Norman conquest, two languages were used side by side in England. (76) Latin and French were the languages of the upper classes, spoken at courts and used in churches and schools. Official edicts and documents as well as literary works were written on parchment(羊皮纸) in Latin. (77) However, the common people clung to the Anglo-Saxon which had undergone remarkable changes. (78) The original system of Old English was weakened and a large number of French words had been absorbed. It is interesting to note that as most of the noblemen were French, so words that are related with enjoyment and pleasure are usually of the French origin whereas words that have to do with labor are usually of Old English origin. (79) Hence, different words for the live animals and for their meat after they are killed. Thus we have bull/beef, calf/veal, sheep/mutton. (80) The live animals looked after by poor English peasants had English names but the meat going to the tables of the French speaking lords had French names. In the 14th century, thousands of words and expressions were borrowed from French and Latin and Greek, and many inflectional forms of the words were dropped and formal grammar simplified.
