英语词汇ye的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

ye; ye olde gift shoppe. Ye served in the past as both the plu- ral of “you” and as a mark of respect when talking to a single person, but has never meant “your” in English. The “Ye’s” on those signs adorning half-timbered Tudor-style establishments that read Ye Olde Gifte Shoppe, Ye Olde Hot Dogge House, etc., should actually be pronounced “the,” not “ye,” for that was what they meant in Ye Olde Englishe times. The letter Y in “ye” really is not a Y but a “thorn,” the Anglo-Saxon symbol for “th.” This Anglo-Saxon diphthong was originally written something like a P, but careless writers and sign painters in later years left it partially open at the side so that it came to resemble a Y, and early printers printed it as such. The “ye” in old manuscripts and signs was never pronounced as anything but “the” until modern times.
