They are most often from Cantonese(粤语)or other Chinese languages rather than Manda
25、rin. Lets start with them.kowtowThe English word kowtow is a verb that means to agree too easily to do what someone else wants you to do, or to obey someone with power in a way that seems _11_. It comes from the Cantonese word kau tau, which means knock your head ”. It refers to the act of kneeling
26、and lowering ones head as a sign of respect to _12_ such as emperors, elders and leaders. In the case of emperors, the act required the person to touch their head to the ground. Britains Lord George Macartney refused to “kau tau to the Qianlong Emperor. Soon after, the English word kowtow was born.
27、In 1793, Britains King George III sent Lord George Macartney and other trade ambassadors to China to _13_ a trade agreement. The Chinese asked them to kowtow to the Qianlong Emperor. As the story goes, Lord Macartney refused for his _14_to do more than bend their knees. He said that was all they wer
28、e required to do for their own king.It is not surprising, then, that Macartney left China without negotiating the trade agreement. After that, critics used the word kowtow when anyone was too submissive to China. Today, the usage has no connection to China, nor any specific political connection.gung
29、-hoAnother borrowed word that came about through _15_ between two nations is gung-ho. In English, the word gung-ho is an adjective that means extremely excited about doing something.

Today, its meaning has no relation to the military.typhoonIn English, a typhoon is a very powerful and _18_ storm that occurs around the China Sea and in the South Pacific. The word history of typ
33、hoon had a far less direct path to the English language than gung-ho. And not all historical accounts are the same. But, according to the Merriam-Webster New Book of Word Histories, the first typhoons reported in the English language were in India and were called touffons or tufans. The word tufan o
34、r al-tufan is Arabic and means violent storm or flood. The English came across this word in India and boiTowed it as touffon. Later, when English ships encountered violent storms in the China Sea, Englishmen learned the Cantonese word tai fung, which means great wind. The words _19_ to touffon is on
35、ly by chance. The modern form of the wordtyphoonwas influenced by the Cantonese but _20_to make it appear more Greek.III.
