美式英语与英式英语之间的差异

英国英语就是英国人说的英语，而南部英国人所说的话则是英国的标准英语。

美国英语就是美国人说的英语。

为什么英国英语和美国英语有差别？这里有历史的原因。

美国是一个移民国家，最早的移民就是17世纪来自英国而在美国东部定居的英国移民，到18世纪后期，英国移民已有四百多万。

他们说的英语大致上还是英国英语。

但随后的两个世纪以来，陆续有大批的移民来自爱尔兰、德国、法国、斯堪纳维亚国家、东欧和南欧的一些国家。

此外还有从墨西哥来的西班牙人，和亚洲来的中国人和日本人。

所有这些人都须学英语才能生活下去，而这些人原来所说的本国语又都对英语带来影响。

但是总的来说，美国英语主要是17世纪英国英语在美国的进一步发展。

美国英语继承了英国英语的语法结构和基本词汇，但是在词汇方面也吸收了一些外来成分。

这些外来成分来自美洲印第安人的语言和许多移民国家的语言。
