<注释>The wordhex is a good example of the sort of borrowing into English from other languages that occurred in the English-speaking former colonies of Great Britain. German and Swiss immigrants who settled in Pennsylvania in the late 7th and 8th centuries spoke a dialect of German known as Pennsylvania Dutch.In this dialecthexe was the equivalent of the German verb hexen, .to practice sorcery.. Our verbhex, first recorded in the sense .to practice witchcraft. in an 830 work called Annals of Philadelphia, is borrowed from Pennsylvania Dutch, as is our noun.
单词hex 是从英帝国讲英语的前殖民地的其它语言中借用到英语中来的一个很好的例子。 7世纪晚期和8世纪，在美国宾夕法尼亚定居的德裔及瑞士移民讲一种称为宾夕法尼亚荷兰语的德语方言。在这种方言中，hexe 相当于德语动词 hexen ，意为.施魔术.。 我们用的动词hex 的最早记录出现在830年一部名为 费城年鉴 的作品中，意为.施魔术.。 该词是从宾夕法尼亚荷兰语中借用来的，名词也是同样从该方言中借来的
