1、美式英语与英式英语的差别1。Accent口音Its difficult to make clear distinctions between US and UK accents when there is such a wide variety of accents within both the US and UK. A Texan and a New Yorker are both Americans, but have very different accents. The same goes for British accents in London, Manchester and G
2、lasgow.要区别清楚美式英语和英式英语是很困难的,因为美国和英国都各自有着各式各样的口音。德克萨斯人和纽约人都是美国人,但是他们的口音也是相当不同的。对于英式口音也一样,在伦敦、曼彻斯特和格拉斯哥的口音也是不一样的。However, some very general distinctions can be made. Americans usually pronounce every “r” in a word, while the British tend to only pronounce the “r” when its the first letter of a word。然而,
3、(美式英语和英式英语)也有一些一般的区别。美国人会读出单词里的每个“r”音,而英国人则倾向于只发单词中的第一个“r音。下面来看一下更加具象化的二者差异:2。Spelling拼写含义美式英语英式英语颜色colorcolour行为,态度behaviorbehaviour剧院theatertheatre米,公尺metermetre组织organizeorganise旅行(过去式)traveledtravelled3.Vocabulary词汇含义美式英语英式英语公寓apartmentflat大学collegeuniversity剧院theatertheatre假期,休假vacationholiday炸

5、w are only a general rule. American speech has influenced Britain via pop culture, and vice versa. Therefore, some prepositional differences are not as pronounced as they once were.下面举例的区别只是一般规则。美国人的讲话方式通过流行文化影响到了英式英语,反之亦然。因此,有些介词上的区别并不是像它们曾经那样明显了.中文美式英语英式英语这周末我要去参加一个派对.Im going to a party on the we

7、se the past simple when describing something that has recently occurred, while people in the UK are more likely to use the present perfect。美国人倾向于使用一般过去时去描述刚刚发生的事情,而英国人则更可能使用现在完成时来描述过去刚刚发生的事情.中文美式英语英式英语我吃太多了.I ate too much。Ive eaten too much。我去过商店了。I went to the store。Ive been to the shop。从周一到周五。Mond
8、ay through Friday.Monday to Friday。你拿到报纸了吗?Did you get the newspaper?Have you got the newspaper?6.The past participle of getGet的过去分词区别In the UK, “gotten” as the past participle of “get is considered archaic and was abandoned long ago in favor of “got” 。However, in the US people still use “gotten” as
9、 the past participle。在英国,用“gotten”作为“get”的过去分词形式是被认为很老派的,并且在很久之前就使用“got”来取代“gotten”了。然而,在美国,人们仍然使用“gotten”做为“get”的过去分词。中文美式英语英式英语得到get - got gottenget - got got我还没有收到关于他的消息。I havent gotten any news about him.Ive not got any news about him。7。Collective nouns: singular or plural?集合名词:单数还是复数?In British
10、 English, a collective noun (like committee, government, team, etc。) can be either singular or plural, but more often tends toward plural, emphasizing the members of the group. Collective nouns in the US, by comparison, are always singular, emphasizing the group as one whole entity.在英式英语中,集合名词(比如com
11、mittee, government, team等等)作为单数和复数都是可以的,不过更多的情况下往往是倾向于复数,用来强调小组里的成员们。相比之下,在美国,集合名词总是单数形式,强调群体作为一个整体。中文美式英语英式英语政府在这次危机期间做了它能做的一切。The government is doing everything it can during this crisis.The government are doing everything they can during this crisis。我的队伍赢了。My team is winning.My team are winning。8
12、。Regular or irregular verbs?规则动词和不规则动词This is a subtle difference that can be easily overlooked in speech, but is much more apparent in written form。 Many verbs that are irregular in the preterite in Britain (leapt, dreamt, burnt, learnt) have been made regular in America (leaped, dreamed, burned, l
13、earned)。在口语中,规则动词和不规则动词的微妙区别是很容易被忽视的,不过在书面形式中会比较明显。许多动词在英国的过去时态中是不规则的(leapt, dreamt, burnt, learnt),到了美国就是规则动词了(leaped, dreamed, burned, learned)。作为全球最常讲的第二语言,英语应该是一个很灵活的语言.毕竟,它不仅仅是在只在美国和英国两个国家使用的。所以,不论你使用的是美式英语还是英式英语,都不会妨碍你跟其他人进行交流。随着社会的发展,有很多行业都涉及到英语,英语也分语种,英式英语和美式英语的区别是什么呢?步骤阅读百度经验: 方法/步骤 1. 1英式英
14、语没有卷舌音,但在17世纪时英格兰各地全是这样,受爱尔兰英语及苏格兰英语的影响,卷舌音更是进一步在美国发展。美式英语在音韵上是趋于保守的,主要原因是它混杂了来自不列颠群岛的各种方言;大多数当代北美英语都有卷舌音(又称翘舌音),字母r在辅音前也要发音。具体的英式英语与美式英语的区别主要在以下几个方面。一、发音和语调方面由于即使一个国家内部地域间的口音仍有巨大差别,如美国南北部居民之间口音差别,英国伦敦腔(cockney)和中上层阶级的口音差别,所以这里只对比“美国普通话(General American)与英国南部RP口音(Received Pronunciation)1. 美式发音之于英式发音
15、的最大特色就在于美式发音中除了Mrs外,会把单词里每个r音都体现出来(不论在哪个位置),尤其强调单词末尾r的卷舌音,比如teacher,car,neighbor,看美剧里面人说话r音都特别明显。而英式口音一般不会将每个r都读出来,对于上面一类单词是一种跟偏中性,不重读,没有音调的读法:teacha,ca,和neighba。个人觉得这个区别是最明显的,也是和一个外国人交谈时最容易判断出来的.2。 非重读字母e, 在美语中常读作/e/, 而在英式英语中则读/i/。如:美国人将except读作/eksept/,英国人则读作/iksept/。3. 当清辅音/t/夹在两个元音之间,前一个是重读元音,后一个是轻读元音时,
