说起希腊语，很多国家的人首先会想到“难”，确实挺难的。
另外，它在现存的书写语言中是最古老的，已经用了5000多年。
很多语言都受到了希腊语的影响，英语当中就有大量的希腊词汇，连我们常用的“道歉”apology 都是从希腊语来的。
The Greek language is unique and has continuously been used for more than 5000 years. This makes it the oldest written language still in existence
at least when you’re looking at archeological findings. The Greek Language has also influenced the English language and other languages with several thousands of words. Thousands of English words e from the Greek language
sometimes via the Roman adaptation into Latin and then to English. Common English words from Greek include “academy
” “apology
” “marathon
” “siren
” “alphabet
” and “typhoon.”
希腊语很独特，而且已连续使用了5000多年。这使它成为现存最古老的书面语，至少考古发现是这样讲的。英语和其他语言的数千个单词也受到了希腊语的影响。成千上万的英语单词来自希腊语，有时是通过罗马人把它们改编成拉丁语，然后再改编成英语。来自希腊语的常见英语单词有“academy（学院）”、“apology（道歉）”、“marathon（马拉松）”、“siren（警笛）”、“alphabet（字母表）”和“typhoon（台风）”。
