对于我来说，把学语言当学文化才比较有意思，不然成了背单词学语法的boring事情。

这首歌是1727年由德裔英国作曲家Handel写成，从那起每届英国国王登基大典时都唱。

这个video除了歌曲外还罗列了所有的英国国王从最早的King William I (1066-87) 到今天的伊丽莎白女王(Queen Elizabeth II 1952-present)。

对，就是这帮人的语言，因为各种原因，我们大家都在学......

Lyrics:

Zadok the Priest and Nathan the Prophet anointed Solomon King.

And all the people rejoiced, rejoiced, rejoiced

And all the people rejoiced, rejoiced, rejoiced

Rejoiced, rejoiced, rejoiced

And all the people rejoiced, rejoiced,

Rejoiced and said:

God save the king (this can change to "queen")

Long live the king

God save the king

May the king live forever

Amen, amen, alleluia, alleluia, amen, amen

Amen, amen, alleluia, amen

ㅤ

God save the king

Long live the king

May the king live forever

Amen, amen, alleluia, alleluia, amen

May the king live

May the king live

Forever, forever, forever

Amen, amen, alleluia, alleluia, amen, amen

Alleluia, alleluia, amen, amen, amen

Amen, amen, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, amen

ㅤ

God save the king

God save the king

Long live the king

May the king live

May the king live

Forever, forever, forever

Amen, amen, alleluia, alleluia, amen, amen, amen,

Amen, amen, amen, alleluia, amen

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia,

Amen, alleluia!.

Beginning lyrics of the song has biblical references, common for art work then. From 1 Kings 1:39 (the King James Version):

"And Zadok the priest took an horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and all the people said, God save king Solomon."

Prophet Nathan is also a biblical figure. In 1 Kings 1:8-45 it is Nathan who tells the dying David of the plot of Adonijah to become king, resulting in Solomon being proclaimed king instead. 

If you understand these biblical stories then you can understand the main theme of the song “Zadok the Priest and Nathan the Prophet anointed Solomon King.

And all the people rejoiced...”

The earliest monarch who ruled England was Egbert (827 – 839), around the late Tang Dynasty period using China''s history as a background, but King Egbert was Anglo Saxon, not "English" enough. The Saxons came from the European continent then mixed with local Anglos to form the English people (Anglo Saxons), and with it the English language.

英语如同英格兰人一样是一个很杂的语言，是历史造成的。英格兰地区历史上用过的语言有brittonic，拉丁语，法语，撒克逊语，到最后的安格鲁撒克逊语等，所以词汇语法五花八门，不太规矩
