As you are a student of English, it is very likely that you will be interested in England. That’s where the language was first spoken. Bet England is often called by other names. This often confuses people. And I wonder if you know what these names actually mean. So what I’d like to tell you about now is this matter of names. I believe you’ve heard people use the names English, Britain or Great Britain. And perhaps you’ve also heard people talk about the British Ireland.
既然你是一名学英语的学生，你很有可能会对英格兰感兴趣。那里是最早讲这门语言的地方。英格兰有可能被称为其它名字。这经常把大家搞糊涂。我想知道你们是否知道这些名字的真实意思是什么。所以现在我想告诉你们的是这些名字。我相信你们听过人们用English、Britain或者Great Britain这些名字。你也有可能提到人们谈论British Ireland。
