Abstract

A well-known fact about English is that it shows an impression of vividness and similarity, which is not only because America itself is composed of many major nations, but because it has borrowed a great many words from other languages in the process of its formation and development. Loanwords reflect the different cultural connection, enrich English vocabulary and show the contents of new things more accurately, visually and directly, thus it makes English more internationalized.
