Module 1British and American English【美文阅读】我们都知道美国和英国都说英语，但你知道英国英语和美国英语到底有什么区别吗？下面让我们来看究竟吧⋯⋯American and British EnglishAmerican and British English spelling differences are one aspect of American and British English differences.In the early 18th century ， English spelling was not standardized.Differences became noticeable( 明显的，显著的 ) after the publishing of influential dictionaries.Current British English spellings follow ，for the most part ，those of Samuel Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language (1755) ．Many of the now characteristic American English spellings were introduced，although not， for the most part， created， by Noah Webster in his American Dictionary of the English Language of 1828.Webster was a strong proponent of spelling reform for reasons both philological and nationalistic.Many spelling changes proposed in the US by Webster himself ， and in the early 20th century by the Simplified Spelling Board ， never caught on.Among the advocates of spelling reform in England ， the influences of those who preferred the Norman(or Anglo- French) spellings of certain words proved decisive.Subsequent spelling adjustments in theUK had little effect on present-day US spelling ， and vice versa(反的 )． While in many cases American English deviated( 偏离；脱离 ) in the 19th century from mainstream British spelling，on the other hand it has also often retained older forms.The spelling systems of Commonwealth countries，for the most part，closely resemble the British system.In Canada ，however，while most spell ing is“ British，many” “ American” spellings are also used.Additional information on Canadian and Australian spelling is provided throughoutthe article.【诱思导学】1． What does this passage mainly tell us?【答案】This passage mainly tells us American and British English spelling differences. 2． What influenced current British English spelling?【答案】Samuel Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language (1755) ．3． Did later spelling adjustments in the UK have influence on present- day words?【答案】No.Period ⅠPreviewing(教师用书独具)● 课标技能要求初步掌握本课文中的词汇，浅层次理解课文，了解相关的背景知识。

英美两国英语差别英语作文
英美两国英语差别英语作文Differences between British and American English。
English is the most widely spoken language in the world, and it is spoken differently in different countries. Thetwo main forms of English are British English and American English. While both forms of English share a lot of similarities, there are also some differences between them. In this essay, I will discuss some of the differences between British and American English.One of the most obvious differences between British and American English is the accent. British English has a more formal and traditional accent, while American English has a more casual and modern accent. For example, in British English, the letter "r" is pronounced more strongly than in American English, and the vowel sounds are different. In addition, British English has a wider range of regional accents, while American English is more standardized.Another difference between British and American English is the spelling. There are many words that are spelled differently in the two forms of English. For example, in British English, the word "colour" is spelled with a "u", while in American English, it is spelled "color". Similarly, in British English, the word "centre" is spelled with an "re", while in American English, it is spelled "center". These spelling differences can cause confusion for people who are learning English, as they need to remember which spelling to use in different situations.Grammar is another area where British and American English differ. For example, in British English, collective nouns are often treated as plural, while in American English, they are treated as singular. So, in British English, you would say "The team are playing well", whilein American English, you would say "The team is playing well". Similarly, in British English, the past participleof "get" is "got", while in American English, it is "gotten".Vocabulary is also an area where British and AmericanEnglish differ. There are many words that are useddifferently in the two forms of English. For example, in British English, the word "biscuit" refers to a small,sweet cake, while in American English, it refers to a small, savory cake. Similarly, in British English, the word "boot" refers to the trunk of a car, while in American English, it refers to a type of footwear. These differences in vocabulary can cause confusion for people who are learning English, as they need to learn which words are used inwhich context.In conclusion, while British and American English share a lot of similarities, there are also some differences between them. These differences can cause confusion for people who are learning English, but they also add richness and diversity to the language. As English continues to evolve and change, it will be interesting to see how these differences continue to develop.。

The second part of the passage
Americans use a _f_la_s_h_l_ig_h_t_, while for the British, it’s a torch. The British queue up; American___st_a_n_d_i_n__li_n_e__. Sometimes the same word has a slightly different meaning, which can be confusing._C_h__ip_s_, for example, are pieces of hot fries potato in Britain; in the states chips are sold in packets. The British call these _c_ri_s_p_s. The chips the British know and love are _F__r_en__ch__f_r_ie_s__ on the other side of the Atlantic.
As a tourist, you will need to use the underground in London or the _s_u_b_w_a_y_in New York, or maybe you will prefer to get around the town by taxi ( British ) or_c_a_b__ (American).
What is the example?
Americans drive _a_u_t_o_m_o_b_i_le_s_ down freeways and fill up with gas. The British drive cars along m__o_to_r_w__a_ys_ and fill up with __p_e_tr_o_l__.
British and American English
British and American EnglishWords, words, wordsBritish and American English are different in many ways.The first and most obvious way is in the vocabulary. There are hundreds of different words which are not used on the other side of the Atlantic, or which are used with a different meaning. Some of these words are well known---Americans drive automobiles down freeways and fill up with gas. As a tourist, you will need to use the underground in London or the subway in New York, or maybe you will prefer to get around the town by taxi(British) or cab(American).Chips or French fries?But other words and expressions are not so well known.Americans use a flashlight, while for the British, it's a torch. The British queue up; Americans stand in line. Sometimes the same word has a slightly different meaning, which can be confusing. Chips, for example, are pieces of hot fried potato in Britain; in the States chips are very thin and are sold in packets. The British call these crisps.The chips the British know and love are French fries on the other side of the Atlantic.Have or have got?There are a few differences in grammar, too. The British say Have you got...? while Americans prefer Do you have…?An American might say My friend just arrived, but a British person would say My friend has just arrived. Prepositions, too, can be different: compare on the team, on the weekend (American) with in the team, at the weekend (British). The British use prepositions while Americans sometimes omit them (I'll see you Monday, Write me soon!).Colour or color?The other two areas in which the two varieties differ are spelling and pronunciation. American spelling seems simpler: center, color and program instead of centre, colour and programme. Many factors have influenced American pronunciation since the first settlers arrived four hundred years ago. The accent, which is most similar to British English, can be heard on the East Coast of the US. When the Irish writer George Bernard Shaw made the famous remark that the British and the Americans are two nations divided by a common language, he was obviously thinking about the differences. But are they really so important? After all, there is probably as much variation of pronunciation within the two countries as between them. A Londoner has more difficulty understanding a Scotsman from Glasgow than understanding a NewYorker.Turn on the TV. Some experts believe that the two varieties are moving closer together. For more than a century communications across the Atlantic have developed steadily. Since 1980s, with satellite TV and the Internet, it has been possible to listen to British and American English at the Hick of a switch.This non-stop communication, the experts think, has made it easier for British people and Americans to understand each other. But it has also led to lots of American words and structures passing into British English, so that some people now believe that British English will disappear. However, if you turn on CNN, the American TV network, you find newsreaders and weather forecasters all speaking with different accents - American, British, Australian, and even Spanish.One of the best-known faces, Monita Rajpal, was born in Hong Kong. China, and grew up, speaking Chinese and Punjabi, as well as English. This international dimension suggests that in the future, there are going to be many "Englishes", not just two main varieties. But the message is "Don't worry." Users of English will all be able to understand eachother---wherever they are.1. What’s the most obvious difference between British and American English?2. In which aspects are the American English and British English different?。

英式英语与美式英语的差异
公司"经理"，英语用manager，美语用Director；"总 经理"英语是Managing-Director或Managing Director， 美语则是Chief-Executive Officer；公司的"总裁""董 事长"英语用Chairman，美语多用President。最应值 得注意的是，表达"寄信""邮寄"之类的概念，英语用 post，美语用mail。
英美国际商务英语常用词举例
英国英语 美国英语 air-route--- air-line 航线 air-mail ---air-post 航空信 accounts--- accounting 财会（部） dispatch--- shipping 货物运输 goods--- freight 货物 luggage--- baggage 行李 motor--- auto 汽车 postcode ---zipcode 邮编 shares ---stock 股票 shops--- stores 商店 stand ---booth 货摊、售货台 taxi--- cab 出租车 tender--- bid （工程等）投标 underground ---subway 地铁
同样，全部用数字表达日期时，英美也有差别。1998 年5月6日按照英国式应写成6/5/98，而按照美国式应写 成5/6/98；01.08.1998是英国式的1998年8月1日，按照 美国的表达方式却是1998年1月8日，美国的1998年8月 1日应写成08，01，1998。因此，全部使用数字来表示 日期时，往往发生误解，在商务活动中必须谨慎使用。
当谈到某家公司待遇低的时候，英语通常的表达 是It was badly paid，而美语的表达则是It didn't pay very much； "我与老板相处得很好"英语的表达是I got ort very well with my boss，但美语则用got along代替句中 的got on； "提高价格"英语用put up prices，美语用raise prices； "上计算机课"英语的表达是go on a computer course，美语则说take a computer course。 通电话时，如果自己不是对方要找的人，我们常 说"请稍候"，英语的习惯表达是hold the line, please， 美语通常用hold on；如果要求对方转给XX，英语的 表达是Could you connect me with the manager？ 美语通常用介词"to"代替句中的介词"with"。
