美国英语与英国英语
===================
1. 行李和领取行李

行李:baggage(美);luggage(英)
首先要指出的是,美国人也用luggage这个词,英国人也用baggage.例如,机场领取行李,美国人说baggage claim,英国人说baggage reclaim,都是baggage.随身行李英文可以说personal baggage(luggage),行李寄放处是baggage(luggage)room,托运行李是to check the baggage(luggage)或to have one's baggage(luggage)registered,行李票是baggage(luggage)check,行李标签是baggage(luggage) tag,行李架是baggage(luggage) rack,行李车是baggage car(美国),或是luggage van(英国)。事实上,luggage这个词用得比baggage更为广泛,除了美国以外大多数说英语国家都用luggage来表示行李。当每次出差,坐在火车上,我总会想想周边物件的英文名,然后试着如何把他们用到句子中去。我相信积少成多,我相信今天的付出绝不会白花!

2. 年级和中学

年级:grade(美);form(英)
美国学校表示年级用grade,英国中学则用form,如六年级是the sixth form.美国有的私立学校也用form.这里有必要说明一下美国中小学的结构:美国小学是五年的(elementary school),初中是三年(middle school),高中是四年(high school).我国把中学一律叫middle school,这对美国人来说有点搞不清楚。另外,美国高一学生叫freshman,高二学生叫sophomore,高三是junior,高四senior.这跟大学一、二、三、四年级的叫法一样,也容易混淆。

3. 讲授和大学讲师

讲授:instruction(美);tuition(英)
Tuition这个词我们不陌生表示学费。但是,在英国英语里tuition也是讲授的意思,上数学课可以说to give tuition in mathematics.在美国英语里,讲授是instruction,美国大学老师就叫instructor(讲师),职称高于其的有assistant professor(助理教授),associate professor(副教授)和professor(正教授)。在美国英语里,lecturer不是中国概念的讲师,而是从校外请来讲课或开讲座的人。Lecture表示“讲师”是英国英语。

4. 邮局、邮箱和邮差

邮政:mail(美);post(英)
美国人把邮件叫mail,邮箱叫mail box,邮递员叫mailman,但是邮局却不用mail这个词,而是说post office.英国人把邮件叫post,邮箱叫post或letter box,邮递员是postman.有的美国人也把邮箱叫letter box,邮递员叫postman.

5. 你喜欢什么

喜欢:like(美);fancy(英)
英国人爱用fancy这个词来表示“喜欢”,例如“你喜欢吃什么?”美国人说What do you like for dinner?而英国人则可能说What do you fancy for dinner?
