I did not know the way to my hotel, so I asked a porter. I not only spoke English very carefully, but very clearly as well. The porter, however, could not understand me; I repeated my question several times and at last he understood. He answered me, but he spoke neither slowly nor clearly. I am a foreigner, I said. Then he spoke slowly, but I could not understand him. My teacher never spoke English like that! The porter and I looked at each,and smiled. Then he said something and I understood it. Youll soon learn English! he said. I wonder. In England, each man speaks a different language. The English understand each other, but I dont understand them !,Do they speak English ?,在英国你如果待过伦敦、伯明翰、利物浦、爱丁堡、都柏林等地的话，会发现各城市的差异。同样的，如果你在美国波士顿、纽约、迈阿密、达拉斯、洛杉矶等地区待过的话，你会发现这些地方的发音、字汇、甚至于文法，都跟其它地方稍有不同。学英文的人有时候会注意到 。其实世界上有很多种类的英文，不只英式和美式两种而已。光是在美国境内就有好多种不同的美式英文的方言。,英式英文与美式英文的差异,如果你在宴会上同时碰到一位美国人与一位英国人，几分钟之内就可以凭着他们的对话辨认出来。最明显的线索当然就是发音，例如dance、butter、no、bird等等，不仅子音、元音的咬字有差异，就连重音位置也常常不一样。,英语、美语第二项最明显的差异，就是使用的单词。同样的东西，在美国与英国的称呼不一样。以下举一些最常见的,拼字的差异比较小，以下是一些,例子:,例子：,Question,Can you say the following words both how an American and how a Briton would say them? vase route ballet address (noun) ate buoy tomato advertisement garage leisure,KEY,（1）in order to 和 so as to do（以便，为了）：She decided to work harder in order (so as) to catch up with the others她决心加紧学习，好赶上别人。 （2）tooto do（非常 以至于不能）The boy is too young to join the navy.这男孩太小参不了海军。 （3）only to do（不料却）常表示出乎意料的结果。They lift a rock only to drop it on their own feet他们搬起石头却砸自己的脚。He hurried to the airport to learn that the flight had already taken off.他急忙赶到机场，却得知飞机已经起飞了。He returned home from his holiday only to find that his house had been broken into.他休假回家，却发现他的房子被破门而入了。 （4）“be+情绪形容词+to do”这个结构，不定式说明产生这一情绪的原因。例如：We are proud to be trained here in China.在中国受训我们感到自豪 （5） 不定式还可以与“be said, be reported,”等连用构成复合谓语。这一结构可变成“Its said, Its reported,”。如：An explosion is reported to have happened, and three are known to have been killed. =Its reported that an explosion has happened and its known that three have been killed. 据报道发生了一起爆炸，已知三人被炸死。,vase: vays as in plays (BE) | vace as in face (AE) route: root as in shoot (BE) | rout * as in shout (AE) buoy: boy as in toy (BE) | booey as in the French name Louis (AE) ate: et as in let (BE) | ate as in late (AE) tomato: tomarto (BE) | tomayto * (AE) leisure as in pleasure (BE) | leesure (lee as in she) (AE) * Some Americans pronounce these words as Britons do.,Taking Courses to Get a Diploma/Certificate Meng: Tell me, Meng, ?
