English has morphed into several other languages all over the world.
英語已經(jīng)演變成世界各地好幾門其它語言。
Languages are ever changing, mixing and mutating, and sometimes they give birth to new ones.Three important factors linguists have identified in languages giving birth to other languages are time, separation, and contact.
語言一直在變，有混合、有演變，有時(shí)候還會(huì)產(chǎn)生新的語言。語言學(xué)家發(fā)現(xiàn)語言產(chǎn)生語言的三大因素為時(shí)間、分離和聯(lián)系。
All languages change with time, as speakers innovate and economise.This does not quickly make a new language, but it can over time.
所有語言都隨時(shí)代而變，說語言時(shí)人們精簡(jiǎn)話語、有所創(chuàng)新。語言不是一蹴而就的，需要時(shí)間。
Separation – geographical distance, cultural divergence, political independence – helps give a changed version of a language an independent identity.
分離，即地理上的距離、文化分化和政治獨(dú)立，給了語言獨(dú)立的省份。
Contact with other languages is a very important force: mutual influence leads to borrowing of words and even grammatical structures.
和其它語言的交流也是很重要的因素：相互影響引發(fā)借用其它語言的詞匯、乃至語法結(jié)構(gòu)。
Sometimes a simplified version is created for the purposes of trade, often using simplified grammar mainly from one language and adapted words from mainly from the other.
有時(shí)候，出于貿(mào)易的目的創(chuàng)造了簡(jiǎn)化版語言，通常用簡(jiǎn)化一門語言的語法，又從另一門語言借鑒改裝了幾個(gè)詞。
Which languages will be to English as French and Italian are to Latin?
那么如同法語、意大利語和拉丁語的關(guān)系，哪些語言和英語有這般關(guān)系呢?
新美拉尼西亞語
Tok Pisin is an official language of Papua New Guinea and has about 120,000 native speakers and some 4 million second-language speakers.
