語言是人類智慧的創(chuàng)造。世界上有6000多種語言，我們熟悉的母語中文和正在學習的英語就是其中的兩種。關于英語，你有沒有積累一些有趣的知識呢？比如，世界上最短的英語單詞是什么？世界上最短的英語句子又是什么？一起來讀短文，尋找學英語的樂趣吧。

There are only 26 letters in the English alphabet（字母表）. English must be an easy language to learn， right？ Well， ask anyone who has mastered English and they will tell you that nothing could be further from the truth.

In fact， English has more words than any other language in the world. How many？ About 800，000 words—give or take a few hundred.

English words can be as short as just one letter， such as， “a” and “I”. The most common（普遍的） letter used in English is “e”. The most commonly used English noun is “time”. The oldest word that is still in use is “town”.

Some facts of English sentences are also very interesting. The shortest sentence in English is only one word. What is it？ Its “Go！”. Can you make a sentence that uses all 26 letters of the alphabet？ “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.”
