Mongrel Nation - Brown cow
推荐理由
Frisian is even closer to English than Dutch. I always liked the rhyme : "bread, butter and green cheese is good English and good Fries", which in Frisian is "Brea, bûter en griene tsiis is goed Ingelsk en goed Frysk". There's a hilarious video on Youtube where the comedian Eddie Izzard attempts to talk to a Frisian Farmer in Old English and gets surprisingly far. [VIDEO]
说明
这是2007年由jasonkanerichardson发布的一部喜剧,主题归在Language & linguistics。它讲的是english language history这一支里的具体问题,而不是把整个领域扫一遍。适合按兴趣直接看、不打算先补课的人。内容上可以概括成:A comedy segment where Eddie Izzard travels to Friesland to try speaking Old English, claiming English originated in Holland and buying a cow to prove it.这些读者给出的理由,核心是:HN uses it as a joke reference in threads about the history of the English language.讲法不绑某一条新闻,过几年仍然可以当材料看。从2014年到2026年,有0位不同的读者在0个不同月份把它推荐出来,其中明确叫别人去看的有0次。适合已经懂这个圈子的梗、想放松看的人。不适合拿来当第一课。如果已经会了基本定义,就把注意力放在它怎么把english language history变成能跟着复述的例子。
