3Homonymy: Homonymy refers to the phenomenon that words having different meanings have the same form, i.e. different words are identical in sound or spelling, or in both.

同音/同形异义关系指的是不同意义的词具有相同的形式这样一种现象，即不同的词发音或者拼写相同，或者发音与拼写都相同。

Words like manciple and participle influenced the spelling of this new word, but again perhaps we should keep silent about the fact that we also find the word spelled principal and prinsipal in Middle English.

象 manciple 和 participle 这样的单词都影响了这个新单词的拼写，但是或许我们应该再一次对于这个单词也曾在中古英语中被拼写成 principal 和 prinsipal 这一事实保持沉默。

Noah Webster wanted to give his students an education that was strongly American.

为了实现这一想法，他在 1783 年出版了一本学生拼写用书，书的全名叫《美式拼写课本》。

At that time two big changes in English spelling happened:first Samuel Johnson wrote his dictionary and later Noah Webster wrote The American Dictionary of the English Language.

最后在19世纪英语定型了，英语拼写的两次变化发生在：第一次是 Samuel Johnson 写了他的字典之后 Noah Webster 写了美国英语大辞典，在这之后美国英语拼写成为独立的一个。

There are linguistic reasons too why spelling reform is tricky to undertake. Written language is more than a phonetic version of its spoken cousin: it contains etymological and morphological clues to meaning too. So although spelling English more phonetically might make it easier to read, it might also make it harder to understand.

拼写改革之所以难以推行也有着语言学本身的原因，毕竟语言的书写系统不仅仅只是记音的符号，它本身还具有与语义相关联的语源学以及形态学上的线索，所以英文拼写由单词读音决定虽然解决了读音的问题，但是这种拼写理解起来可能更难。

Britain is turning into a nation of "tabloid spellers"—spelling Jane Austen is a far bigger challenge for children than getting David Beckham's name right. A survey carried out by Oxford University Press in research for a new dictionary showed that only 32 percent of school-age children could spell Shakespeare correctly. Only eight percent managed Jane Austen—variations such as Jayne and Jade proved especially popular. But JK Rowling did at least win top marks for teaching the children of the world the joy of reading with her Harry Potter sagas. The young magician's school—Hogwarts—was spelt correctly by 85 percent of the kids polled. Vineeta Gupta, senior editor of Oxford's Children's Dictionaries, said:"We were surprised at how many children managed to spell even quite difficult words correctly if they had a connection with popular culture that caught their imagination." Nearly 15 percent, for example, could spell metatarsal, a word almost unheard of before David Beckham's pre-World Cup fitness problems.

The Great Vowel Shift in the 15th and 16th centuries altered the pronunciation of many words but left their spelling unchanged; and as Masha Bell, an independent literacy researcher, notes, the 15th-century advent of printing presses initially staffed by non-English speakers helped to magnify the muddle. Second, misguided attempts to align English spelling with Latin roots (debt and debitum; island and insula) led to the introduction of superfluous "silent" letters. Third, despite interest in spelling among figures as diverse as Benjamin Franklin, Prince Philip and the Mormons, English has never, unlike Spanish, Italian and French, had a central regulatory authority capable of overseeing standardisation.

一是发生于15和16世纪的主要元音转移改变了许多单词的读音，但是它们的拼写没有随之变化，另外一位文字研究者马沙贝尔注意到15世纪时，主要的纸质媒体行业最初从业人员的母语多不是英语，这自然造成了更大的混乱；二是，将英文拼写中添加常常是编造出来的拉丁字根，此举带来了多余的不发音字母；三，无论是谁对英文拼写有兴趣—这其中有各式各样的人物，如本杰明富兰克林、菲利普王子还有摩门教徒，英语不像西班牙语、意大利语以及法语，它从未有过有能力推行标准语的官方机构

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.
