2.Different Countries Have Different Kinds of Englishes（不同的國(guó)家有不同的英語(yǔ)）?

Voyages of people from England play an important part in spreading the English language. At present, English is frequently spoken as an official or common language in many countries, such as America, Singapore, Malaysia and some African countries. All based on British English, the English spoken in these countries can be well understood by native English speakers. But actually, these Englishes have been gradually changing in accents, spellings, expressions and the usage of vocabulary.?

英國(guó)人的航海在英語(yǔ)的傳播中扮演了重要的角色。目前，英語(yǔ)在許多國(guó)家被作為官方語(yǔ)言或通用語(yǔ)言頻繁地使用，例如美國(guó)、新加波、馬來(lái)西亞和一些非洲的國(guó)家。這些國(guó)家的英語(yǔ)都以英式英語(yǔ)為基礎(chǔ)，能很好地為以英語(yǔ)為本族語(yǔ)的人所理解。但是實(shí)際上，這些英語(yǔ)在口音、拼寫、表達(dá)和詞匯的使用方面都在逐漸變化。

Because of this fact, you can make use of the differences to tell which country the foreigners of your block are from. For example, if a boss fluently commands his driver, “Come up straight to my ?2 apartment by elevator and take some gas for my trucks and cabs”, instead of requesting, “Please come to my flat by lift and take some petrol for my lorries and taxis”, you can recognize his American identity, while the latter suggests that he is British.?

?因?yàn)檫@一情況的存在，你就可以利用這些英語(yǔ)之間的區(qū)別說(shuō)出你們街區(qū)的外國(guó)人是哪個(gè)國(guó)家來(lái)的了。例如，如果有個(gè)老板流利地命令他的司機(jī)：“Come up straight to my apartment by elevator and take some gas for my trucks and cabs(直接搭電梯到我公寓上來(lái)拿卡車和出租車的汽油)”，而不是要求說(shuō)，“Please come to my flat by lift and take some petrol for my lorries and taxis(請(qǐng)直接搭電梯到我公寓上來(lái)拿卡車和出租車的汽油)”，你就可以輕易地辨認(rèn)出他的美國(guó)人身份，而后者卻暗示著那是一位英國(guó)人。
