美式英语和英式英语的不同之处
摘要:著名的爱尔兰作家萧伯纳说,英国和美国是用同一种语言分开的两个国家。在漫长的历史演变过程中,英语出现了两大分支,即英式英语和美式英语。无论是元音辅音、重音还是音调,美式英语和英式英语都有差异。美式英语语调活泼,注意起伏。英国英语比较直白。只是我从宏观的角度分析了美式英语和英式英语的区别。我将更详细地分析它们之间的区别。在中国,很多学生都不知道有些单词是属于美国单词还是英语单词。本文旨在让我们了解他们之间的许多不同的词,并更好地理解他们。我希望你能理解这篇文章的意思。接下来,我将分析这两种语言的三个主要不同部分:语法方面、词汇方面和拼写方面。

Abstract: The famous Irish writer Bernard Shaw said that Britain and the United States are two countries separated by the same language.
