Spreading the word

Many people say that the British read millions of books, newspapers and magazines each day. Most of us read at least one newspaper a day and often pick up a copy of a book that is being read by hundreds of people, per­haps at the same time in the same language. I wonder how many people stop and think back to that day in the not-so-distant past when the first sheet of printed paper came off the first printing press used in England. That was in the year 1477 when William Caxton brought his printing press from Flanders, set it up at Westminster in the shadow of the old Abbey and set to work to pro­duce the first books in English.Canterbury Tales by Chaucer, who lived from 1340 to 1400, was among the books he printed, together with many translations from Latin and French.Canterbury Tales was very popular among the people who could read at that time. These educated people who lived mainly in London could easily understand the lan­guage of Canterbury Tales because it was written in the dialect of London. But people from other parts of Eng­land couldn't understand very much because at that time each county had its own dialect. So the people of Kent, the West Country, the Midlands, London, the North and other parts of England could not easily understand each other.Because Caxton printed his book in one dialect, the educated English had a common dialect, and as educa­tion spread, this dialect became the language of England.Of course, if you read one of Caxton's original books you won't understand it very well because of the great changes in English grammar and spelling since Caxton lived. Caxton himself wrote in one of his books about the many changes in his lifetime.«And certainly our language now vsed varyeth ferre from that whiche was vsed and spoken when I was bourne».As you can see it varies very much in spelling and structure from the English you are reading, but you cer­tainly recognize it as English of Caxton to whom we owe so much.

Многие люди говорят , что британцы читали миллионы книг, газет и журналов каждый день. Большинство из нас читали хотя бы одну газету в день и часто забрать копию книги, которая читается сотни людей, возможно , в то же время на том же языке. Интересно , сколько людей остановиться и вспомнить тот день в не столь отдаленном прошлом , когда первый лист печатной бумаги вышел первый печатный станок , используемый в Англии. Это было в 1477 году , когда Кекстон принес его печатный станок из Фландрии, установите его в Вестминстере в тени старого аббатства и принялся за работу , чтобы произвести первые книги в English.Canterbury сказок Чосера, который жил с 1340 до 1400, был в числе книг , которые он напечатанных, вместе со многими переводами с латинского и французского языков. Кентерберийские рассказы был очень популярен среди людей, которые могли бы читать в это время. Эти образованные люди, которые жили в основном в Лондоне, мог легко понять язык Кентерберийских рассказов, потому что она была написана на диалекте Лондона. Но люди из других частей Англии не мог понять, очень много, потому что в это время каждый район имел свой собственный диалект. Таким образом, люди Кента, на западе страны, Мидлендс, Лондон, на севере и в других частях Англии не могли легко понять друг other.Because Какстон напечатал свою книгу в одном диалекте, образованные английский был общий диалект, а также распространения образования , этот диалект стал языком England.Of конечно, если вы читаете одну из оригинальных книг Caxton ты не поймешь это очень хорошо из-за больших изменений в английской грамматики и орфографии, так как Какстон жили.
