english是什么意思,我不是问中文翻译,我是问他本身在他的语言中是什么意思,就如同大卫这样人名的含义一样

English最初是英格兰人。英国由四部分组成:England英格兰,Scotland苏格兰,Wales威尔士,Northern Ireland北爱。英格兰对应英格兰人,苏格兰对应Scottish苏格兰人,其他依次。所以,English不能直接翻译成英国人,英国人的地道翻译是British。欢迎追问。追问

明白你的意思了。回答必须有根有据,以下来自英国基维百科的两段:(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England
The area now called England was first inhabited by modern humans during the Upper Palaeolithic period, but takes its name from the Angles, one of the Germanic tribes who settled during the 5th and 6th centuries.

The name of the Angles was first recorded in Latinised form, as Anglii, in the Germania of Tacitus. It is thought to derive from the name of the area they originally inhabited: Angeln in modern German, Angel in Danish. This name has been hypothesised to originate from the Germanic root for "narrow" (compare German and Dutch eng = "narrow"), meaning "the Narrow [Water]"

由以上两段话可知:England来自于德国部落名称Angles,Angles的意思是“狭长的一带”,所以England的Original meaning 是狭长的一带。
