Dịch bài

Trải qua hơn 600 năm qua, tiếng Anh đó phát triển từ một ngôn ngữ ít người nói trở thành ngôn ngữ chính trong giao tiếp quốc tế. Tiếng Anh ngày nay xuất hiện khoảng năm 1350, với sự kết hợp chặt chẽ nhiều yếu tố của tiếng Pháp sau khi người Norman xâm lược vào năm 1030. Cho đến những năm 1600, tiếng Anh phần lớn chỉ được nói ở nước Anh và thậm chí không được mở rộng đến xứ Wales, Scotland, hoặc Ireland. Tuy nhiên, trong 2 thế kỉ tiếp theo, Tiếng Anh bắt đầu được lan truyền khắp trái đất như là kết quả của sự khám phá; thương mại (bao gồm kinh doanh nô lệ), chiếm lĩnh thuộc địa và truyền giáo. Do đó, những khu vực nhỏ nói tiếng Anh được thành lập và phát triển ở nhiều nơi trên thế giới. Vì những cộng đồng này tăng nhanh, tiếng Anh dần dần trở thành ngôn ngữ quốc tế cơ bản trong kinh doanh, ngân hàng và ngoại giao. Ngày nay, khoảng 80% dữ liệu thông tin trên hệ thống máy tính toàn thế giới là bằng tiếng Anh. Hơn 2/3 ngành khoa học thế giới viết bằng tiếng Anh và tiếng Anh là ngôn ngữ chính trong kĩ thuật, quảng cáo, truyền thông, sân bay và kiểm soát không lưu quốc tế. Ngày nay có hơn 700 triệu người dùng tiếng Anh trên thế giới, và hơn một nửa trong số đó là những người nói tiếng Anh không phải tiếng mẹ đẻ, tạo thành số người sử dụng không phải tiếng mẹ đẻ lớn nhất, hơn bất kì ngôn ngữ nào trên thế giới.

Đáp án C

Có bao nhiêu người nước ngoài dùng tiếng Anh trên toàn thế giới:

Today there are more than 700 million English users in the world, and over half of these are
non-native speakers, constituting the largest number of non-native users than any other
language in the world.

Đáp án D
“proliferated” = expanded: làm cho mở rộng, tăng nhanh
