你在英语口语的学习过程中一定很好奇英式英语和美式英语的区别。用我们的话说呢t3修改目的地这么算,英式英语比较规范t3修改目的地这么算,而美式英语呢则比较口语化t3修改目的地这么算,它们两者在用词和拼写上面都是有很大不同的。
那今天就来对比一下英国人和美国人生活上的不同。
被撞后的反应
If someone bumps into an American,the victim will most likely look the accidental aggressor in the face and expect an apology.If,however,the victim happens to be British,chances are that the victim will say “sorry”before the other can make his or her own apology.
如果被撞的是美国人,他们大都是会直视冒失者,希望对方道歉。而相反,如果被撞的是英国人,他们则很可能在撞人者道歉之前先说“对不起”。
饭菜没吃完怎么办
Britons wouldn’t think to take the leftovers home when dining out at a restaurant. They think the food is somehow”tainted”once they’ve poked at it with a knife and fork.In the US,wrapping it up to take home is a standard practice.
外出就餐时,英国人不会将剩菜剩饭打包带走,因为在他们看来食物一旦被刀叉“染指”后就被“玷污”了。然而对于美国人而言,打包剩菜则是一种惯例。
乘出租车是什么表现
British will give the cab driver an address,then assume that’s it for the interaction until it’s time to pay. Even if they’re being taken in a roundabout way,they’re very unlikely to say anything. In the US,however,most passengers think nothing of telling the driver what route to take after telling him or her the destination.
英国人在告诉司机目的地之后就会秉承全程“零交流”的原则,直至下车付钱才开口。甚至在看见司机绕路时,他们也会一言不发。而美国人则恰恰相反,大多数乘客都会在告诉司机目的地后,自己指挥行车路线,并且觉得这并无不妥。
晚宴穿什么
British don’t all change into evening dress for supper like what you make have seen in popular TV shows like Downton Abbey. But they do tend to make an effort when going out for dinner somewhere nice. Americans,however,will probably wear a casual shirt to a fancy eatery.
享用晚餐时,英国人虽然不会像热门英剧《唐顿庄园》那样人人身穿晚礼服,但是去高级餐厅就餐时也会在穿着上颇下一番功夫。而美国人则可能穿一件休闲衬衫就出入高级餐馆。
有人把美国人的性格概括为:热情、开朗、冒险、创新、奔放活泼、直白的幽默t3修改目的地这么算;相对应英国人的性格特点是:冷漠、含蓄、内敛、保守、理性严谨、绅士的幽默。小编呢,相对于喜欢美国人的幽默和随性,他们的英语口语学习起来也是相对英式英语来说随性。但总的来说,也算是各有千秋。
