Difference between American and British English Differences in usage

Abbreviations

We usually write abbreviations without full stops in modern British English. Full stops (US 憄eriods?) are normal in American English.

Mr (US Mr.) = Mister

Dr (US Dr.) = Doctor

Ltd (US Ltd.) = Limited (company)

Kg (US kg.) = kilogram

All and all of

Before a noun with a determiner (e.g. the, this, my), all and all of are both possible in British English. American English usually has all of.

?She has eaten all (of) the cake. (GB)

?She has eaten all of the cake. (US)

?All (of) my friends like riding. (GB)

?All of my friends like riding. (US)

Informal use of like

In an informal style, like is often used instead of as if/though, especially in American English. This is not considered correct in a formal style.

?It seems like it is going to rain.

?He sat there smiling like it was his birthday.

On

In American English, it is common to leave out on before the days of the week.

?I am seeing her Sunday morning. (US)

British people say at the weekend; Americans say on the weekend.

?What did you do at the weekend? (GB)

?What did you do on the weekend? (US)

In and for

In American English, in can be used, like for, to talk about periods up to the present. (British English only for).

?I haven't seen her in years. (US)

Both and both of

Before a noun with a determiner (e.g. the,

this, my), both and both of are both possible in British English. In American English, both of is usual.

?Both (of) my parents like riding. (GB) ?Both of my parents like riding. (US)

In after negatives and superlatives

After negatives and superlatives, in can be used to talk about duration. This is especially common in American English.

?I haven't seen him for/in months.

?It was the worst storm for/in ten

years.

In British English, in is not normally used with this meaning.

?I haven't seen him for months. (GB)

Shan't

In British English, I shan't is sometimes used in refusals. This is very unusual in American English.

?I don't care what you say, I won't/

shan't do it. (GB)

?I don抰care what you say, I won't

do it. (US)

Shall

Questions with shall I/we are used (especially in British English) to ask for instructions or decisions, to offer services and to make suggestions. This is not common in American English.

?Shall I open the window?

?Shall we go out for a meal?

Will

We often use will in threats and promises. Shall is also possible in British English, especially after I and we. In American

English, shall is not used in threats and

promises.

?I will/shall give you a teddy bear for

your birthday. (GB)

?I will give you a teddy bear for your

birthday. (US)

Have (got) + infinitive

Have (got) + infinitive can be used, like

must, to express certainty. This is mainly an

American English structure, but it is now

becoming more common in British English.

?I don't believe you. You have (got)

to be joking. (= You must be joking.)

Would and should

After I and we, should can be used in British

English with the same meaning as would.

?If we had a map we

would/should be able to get out of

here. (GB)

?If we had a map we would we able to

get out of here. (US)

Conditional would is sometimes used in both

clauses of an if-sentence. This is common

in spoken American English.

?It would be better if they would tell

everybody in advance.

American and British English: differences in spelling

A number of words end in -our in British English and -or in American English. Some words end in -er in American English and -re in British English. Many verbs which end in -ize in American English can be spelt in British English with -ize or -ise. In British English -I is doubled in an unstressed syllable before a suffix beginning with a vowel, while in American English it is not doubled.

American English and British English

Differences in grammar

These two varieties of English are very similar that most American and British speakers can understand each other without great difficulty. There are, however, a few differences of grammar, vocabulary and spelling. The following guide is meant to point out the principal differences between American English (AE) and British English (BE).

Differences in Grammar

Use of the Present Perfect

The British use the present perfect to talk about a past action which has an effect on the present moment. In American English both simple past and present perfect are possible in such situations.

?I have lost my pen. Can you lend me yours? (BE)

?I lost my pen. OR I have lost my pen. (AE)

?He has gone home. (BE)

?He went home. OR He has gone home. (AE)

Other differences include the use of already, just and yet. The British use the present perfect with these adverbs of indefinite time. In American English simple past and present perfect are both possible.

?He has just gone home. (BE)

?He just went home. OR He has just gone home. (AE)

?I have already seen this movie. (BE)

?I have already seen this movie. OR I already saw this movie. (AE)

?She hasn't come yet. (BE)

?She hasn't come yet. OR She didn't come yet. (AE)

Possession

The British normally use have got to show possession. In American English have (in the structure do you have) and have got are both possible.

?Have you got a car? (BE)

?Do you have a car? OR Have you got a car? (AE)

Use of the verb Get

In British English the past participle of get is got. In American English the past participle of get is gotten, except when have got means have.

?He has got a prize. (BE)

?He has gotten a prize. (AE)

?I have got two sisters. (BE)

?I have got two sisters. (=I have two sisters.)(AE)

Will/Shall

In British English it is fairly common to use shall with the first person to talk about the future. Americans rarely use shall.

?I shall/will never forget this favour. (BE)

?I will never forget this favour. (AE)

In offers the British use shall. Americans use should.

?Shall I help you with the homework? (BE)

?Should I help you with the homework? (AE)

Need

In British English needn't and don't need to are both possible. Americans normally use don't need to.

?You needn't reserve seats. OR You don't need to reserve seats. (BE)

?You don't need to reserve seats. (AE)

American and British English

Differences in Grammar # 2

Use of the Subjunctive

In American English it is particularly common to use subjunctive after words like essential, vital, important, suggest, insist, demand, recommend, ask, advice etc. (Subjunctive is a special kind of present tense which has no -s in the third person singular. It is commonly used in that clauses after words which express the idea that something is important or desirable.) In British English the subjunctive is formal and unusual. British people normally use should + Infinitive or ordinary present and past tenses.

?It is essential that every child get an opportunity to learn. (AE)

?It is essential that every child gets an opportunity to learn. (BE)

?It is important that he be told. (AE)

?It is important that he should be told. (BE)

?She suggested that I see a doctor. (AE)

?She suggested that I should see a doctor. (BE)

?She insisted that I go with her. (AE)

?She insisted that I should go with her. (BE)

Collective Nouns

Collective nouns like jury, team, family, government etc., can take both singular and plural verbs in British English. In American English they normally take a singular verb.

?The committee meets/meet tomorrow. (BE)

?The committee meets tomorrow. (AE)

?The team is/are going to lose. (BE)

?The team is going to lose. (AE)

Auxiliary verb + do

In British English it is common to use do as a substitute verb after an auxiliary verb. Americans do not normally use do after an auxiliary verb.

?May I have a look at your papers? You may (do) (BE)

?You may. (AE)

?You were supposed to have finished your homework before you went to bed.

?I have (done). (BE)

?I have. (AE)

As if/ like

In American English it is common to use like instead of as if/ as though. This is not correct in British English.

?He talks as if he knew everything. (BE)

?He talks like/as if he knew everything. (AE)

In American English it is also common to use were instead of was in unreal comparisons.

?He talks as if he was rich. (BE)

?He talks as if he were rich. (AE)

The indefinite pronoun One

Americans normally use he/she, him/her, his/her to refer back to one. In British English one is used throughout the sentence.

?One must love one's country. (BE)

?One must love his/her country. (AE)

Mid position adverbs

In American English mid position adverbs are placed before auxiliary verbs and other verbs. In British English they are placed after auxiliary verbs and before other verbs.

?He has probably arrived now. (BE)

?He probably has arrived now. (AE)

?I am seldom late for work. (BE)

?I seldom am late for work. (AE)

British:?I've got?a car. American:?Do you have?a cellphone? British:?Have you got?a mobile phone? 美国人经常用一般过去式表示最近发生的事。相比之下，英国人常用现在完成时。 ? American:?Elijah already?returned?from London. British:?Ella?has?already?returned?from New York. American:?I just?went?shopping. British:?I've?just been shopping. 在遇到例如?team?和?family?这样的集合名词时，说美式英语的人用动词的单数形式，而说英式英语的人则用复数

英式英语和美式英语的区别

英式英语和美式英语的区别 标准现代英式英语（简称英语）和标准美式英语（简称美语）的区别说大不大，说小也不小，但是两者互相理解没有任何实质性的问题。此文的目的是对两者的区别进行一个大概的比较，给有兴趣的朋友一个参考，但并不能作为学习另一种口音的教材。其中也漏洞百出，若有不尽之处，还请高人指正补充。 元音： 英语和美语的发音最大的区别之一在它们对浑元音（schwa，音标中的倒写e，）的处理。英语中，浑元音在单元音中常通发生在一些非重读的短音a（如about）和短音er（如computer）上。美语中的er很少为浑元音，并有时对短音i（如sentimental,actuality）和u（如wuss），甚至短音的oo（如：hooker）采用了浑元音。（这四个例子在英语中的发音分别为[i], [i], [u:], [u]）浑元音的读音是不定的，但是听起来差不多像一个急促的介于“俄”和“啊”的发音。英语和美语的发音最具代表性的区别是对er的发音的不同。英语中，短音的er是如上所述的浑元音，但长音的er也不过是个拉长了的浑元音，听起来是一个很夸张的介于“俄”和“啊”的声音。而美语中，er听起来怎么都是个“儿”音（例外是一些俗语中发成浑元音）。ar：除了轻读短音（如singular）和者后连元音（如clarity），英语的ar全部清一色的长音[a:]，而美语中，是“阿尔”。事实上，凡是有r在一个音节尾部的时候，美英发音通常都是不一样的，如tour(英：吐啊，美：吐儿)，tear(英：踢啊，美：踢儿)，pair（英：pe啊，美：pe 儿）。甚至在刚才提到的clarity中，英语['kleriti],美语['kle儿r(er)ti] 元音的发音中还有一个比较重要的区别。一是[o]音：短音的o（如often），英语中发音仅仅为一个缩短了的长音o（如or），而美式的短音o听起来和英语的短音[/\]很像，同时长音o 后面如果有r都通常像上一段里说的那样儿化了，没有的话（如plausible, applause）就自动变成了一个短音的o的发音。 另外对u，i和其他元音组合的浑元音化，前面提到了一些，其他就*大家自己体会了。 辅音： 英语的辅音和美语的辅音是基本一样的，但在使用习惯上有些差别。比较重要的也只有以下两个： r：字母r简直是代表了英美两国的所有差别，到处都是它。在做辅音时，其实差别也就是当r在第一个词的词尾，而第二个词以元音开头，英语把r完全当作元音处理，而美语会把r连读当作后面一个词的开头元音的辅音，如词组clear animosity，英语会读成clear|animosity，而美语会读成clear-ranimosity。 另一个比较明显的区别是d和t。在一部分非重读音节中(如paddle，rattle, actuality)，英语会清楚地发音这两个字母，但在美语中d和t常常会被模糊成一个很难解释的音，跟其它的语言比较，如果你知道西班牙语或者意大利语，它跟短弹音r很接近;如果你懂日语，那么らりるれろ行的辅音很像。如果你都不知道，那么最接近的解释就是边音l了，但是差了那么一节，就看你自己体会了。 还有一点，history, factory这些词，大家可能都发现o的发音（是一个浑元音）在很多音标标注中都是打了括号的。在英国，英语受文言文的影响喜欢省略这个o，而在美国，这个o 常常是发了音的。（如果大家对文言文或者诗歌感兴趣，会发现很多浑元音的字母是用一个单引号'表示的，表示省略） 拼写： 英语和美语的拼写无非有以下几种区别： -re和-er：部分以re结尾的词在美语中以er结尾，如: metre/meter, centimetre/centimeter, theatre/theater, centre/center等等

英式英语和美式英语该选哪一种

英式英语和美式英语该选哪一种呢? I’m the parent of a seven-year-old boy, and I’m going to teach him English. To tell the truth, I prefer British English to American English. But in the real world the American one seems to be more popular. Could you tell me which one I should choose? 我有一个七岁的男孩，我想教他英语。说实在的，相对于美式英语来讲，我更喜欢英式英语。但在现实生活中，美式英语似乎更流行一些。您能告诉我该选哪一种吗? Choose American English: that’s likely to be more useful to your son, especially in south-east Asia. However, please note the following: λThere’s hardly any differ ence at all between British and American English. The main difference is phonological (the way the language is spoken). Differences in vocabulary and spelling are very limited and there are hardly any differences at all in structure. Of course, for adults, the range of reference can vary between BrE and AmE. British English has a European range of reference. AmE and AusE similarly reflect the references of the geographical locations. This is one reason why AmE and AusE are so important in SE Asia. Whatever you teachλyour son, he will end up speaking Chinese English. This is inevitable. However, if he has been taught American English, he will be trained to understand this right from the start. A lot of learners find spoken standard American English harder to understand than spoken standard British English. English is aλ world language. People are learning it worldwide because they have the expectation that they will be able to use the language they have learned in any part of the world. The dominance of English has historical reasons relating back to the British Empire, but its widespread use today is largely due to American influence worldwide. Here are some reasons why people learn English: －political: English may be a neutral means of communication between different language groups in a large country: e.g. India. －economic: English is the language of trade, business and tourism. －practical: English is the language used by air traffic controllers, in academic conferences, etc. －scientific and technical: most scientific information is published and retrieved in English; the language of the Internet is English. －entertainment: the language of films, videos, computer games, etc. is largely English. 选美式英语：这对你的儿子可能会更有用，尤其是在东南亚。但要注意以下几点： λ英式英语和美式英语之间并没有太多的区别。主要的区别是语音方面的(即英语的说法)。词汇和拼写上的区别是很有限的，结构上就更是没有什么区别。当然，对于成人来说，英式英语和美式英语之间的关联范围可能是有差别的。英式英语具有欧洲的关联范围，而美式英语和澳洲英语也反映了地理位置的关联。这也是美式英语和澳洲英语在东南亚这么重要的原因。

美式英语和英式英语的区别

美式英语和英式英语的区别！（史上最全解析） 1.Accent口音 It’s difficult to make clear distinctions between US and UK accents when there is such a wide variety of accents within both the US and UK. A Texan and a New Yorker are both Americans, but have very different accents. The same goes for British accents in London, Manchester and Glasgow. 要区别清楚美式英语和英式英语是很困难的，因为美国和英国都各自有着各式各样的口音。德克萨斯人和纽约人都是美国人，但是他们的口音也是相当不同的。对于英式口音也一样，在伦敦、曼彻斯特和格拉斯哥的口音也是不一样的。However, some very general distinctions can be made. Americans usually pronounce every “r” in a word, while the British tend to only pronounce the “r” when it’s the first letter of a word. 然而，（美式英语和英式英语）也有一些一般的区别。美国人会读出单词里的每个“r”音，而英国人则倾向于只发单词中的第一个“r”音。 下面来看一下更加具象化的二者差异： 2.Spelling拼写 含义美式英语英式英语 颜色 color colour 行为，态度 behavior behaviour 剧院 theater theatre 米，公尺 meter metre 组织 organize organise 旅行（过去式） traveled travelled 3.Vocabulary

美式英语与英式英语的不同

美式英语与英式英语的差别 在一定意义上说，美语是在英语基础上分离出来的一个支系，或者如某些语言学家们 所说的，美语是一支一直在美洲土地上的英语.虽然英语和美语两种语言的主体部分（语法、词汇、读音、拼写等）是相同的，但最重要的是美语在其发展过程中受其独特的历史、文化、民族、地域等各种因素的影响，形成了自己的特点，与英语有显著不同。英语和美语 的主要差异表现在词汇、读音、拼写及说话的气质等方面，尤其是某些词汇的表示意思。一、常见词汇差别 1） Trousers / Pants：当刚从美国回来的英国小伙子赞美“Nice Pants”，这时，杯具发生了。Trousers，Pants这两个单词的用法应特别留意。Pants在英国指内裤，但在美国却是长裤。在英国，长裤为 trousers。所以，当一位外国人说 Pants的时候，你要弄清楚他究竟是 英国人还是美国人，不要把内裤变成了长裤哦。 2） Crisps ,(Potato) Chips / French Fries： Chips在美国是土豆片，而在英国Chips就由薯 片变成薯条了。而要想在美国点薯条吃，得说French Fries。所以，不要搞混吃到你不想吃的东西哦。 3） Fizzy drink / Soda：在伦敦玩儿了一天，口渴了，怎样才能用地道的英式英语买汽水？那一定得说Fizzy Drink。而在美国可以说soda，soda pop或者干脆说pop。 4） Lift / Elevator：一个美国人在英国，问：“How can I get to 20th floor?”英国人说：“Take a lift.”美国人就疯了：“Ok, but who can be so strong to lift me to 20th floor?”在英国，如果你不想爬楼梯，你可以搭lift。如果你在美国的话，你就只好搭elevator了，没有人会把你抬上去的哦！ 5） Film / Movie：film是英式英语，除了电影外，还有picture/photo的意思。同时film也表示“胶卷”就是音译的菲林 movie，是美式英语，只表示电影，不能表示照片、图片等。去看电影可以用 go to the movie(美）或者 go to the cinema(英），但绝不能用go to the film，不然也会闹笑话的。 6） Petrol / Gas：英国小伙子到了美国搭车，说：“Can I ride to New York?”美国人很热情，“Sure, my car has full tank of gas.”英国小伙子一听害怕了： “Well, no, thank you.

美式与英式英语异同

中文摘要 全球一体化的今天，英语作为世界通用语言，在人们的日常生活中，不论是民间交往或官方交流中都扮演着及其重要的角色。由于美国已经取得国际上较高的地位，美式英语逐渐流行起来，美式英语与英式英语成为了英语语系中比较重要的两种。并且也已被一向高傲的英国人承认是存在的，而且英国人开始学习使用比较简单化的美式英语。虽然美式英语同英式英语一样，都是英语，但是其不同之处甚多。英语在众多的英语国家中，各自的方言，俗语层出不穷，当然误解意思的事情也就经常发生，同时在现代的生活中，时间是每个现代人宝贵的财富，传统的英式英语相对复杂，而美式英语便捷实用，符合历史的潮流。英国，美国，加拿大等英语大国的学者也已经意识到这种趋势，并且从语法，词汇，使用等方面总结出这两种语言的差异。 关键词: 英式英语;美式英语 Abstract Today, the world is getting smaller and smaller, the language of this earth village i s English, which is very important for people’s daily life.

This article will introduce the difference between British English and American Eng

英式英语与美式英语的区别

【美英和英英哪儿不同】 英语是英美两国的官方语言和通用语言；正如爱尔兰著名作家萧伯纳曾经说过的那样：英国和美国是被同一种语言分开来的两个国家。英语属于印欧语系中日耳曼语族下的西日耳曼语支，并通过英国的殖民活动传播到世界各地；而英语本身在进化当中也出现了分化，从而产生了美式英语（又称美国英语）与英式英语（又称英国英语）这两大分支。 由于当今美国已经取得国际上较高的地位，美式英语逐渐流行起来，并且也已被一向高傲的英国人承认是存在的，他们开始学习使用比较简单化的美式英语，连其他英联邦国家，如澳大利亚、新西兰、爱尔兰、加拿大、南非、印度等也开始学习美式英语。虽然美式英语同英式英语一样，都是标准英语，但是其在语音、词汇和语法等方面却存在着一些差异。 一.语音方面

由于即使一个国家内部地域间的口音仍有巨大差别，如美国南北部居民之间口音差别，英国伦敦腔（cockney）和中上层阶级的口音差别，所以这里只对比“美国普通话”（General American）与英国南部RP口音（Received Pronunciation） 1.美式发音之于英式发音的最大特色就在于美式发音中除了Mrs 外，会把单词里每个r音都体现出来（不论在哪个位置），尤其强调单词末尾r的卷舌音，比如teacher，car，neighbor，看美剧里面人说话r音都特别明显。而英式口音一般不会将每个r 都读出来，对于上面一类单词是一种跟偏中性，不重读，没有音调的读法：teacha，ca,和neighba。个人觉得这个区别是最明显的，也是和一个外国人交谈时最容易判断出来的。 2.以wh开头的词，美式英语读[hw]，英式英语则读[w]，例如：where[hw?/w?]、while[hwail/wail]、white[hwait/wait]等。美式英语把-u-和-ue的长元音发作[u:]，而英式英语发成[ju:]，例如：due[du:/dju:]、reduce[ri'du:s/ri'dju:s]、tube[tu:b/tju:b]等。美式英语把-a-读成[?]，而英式英语读成[a或a:]，例如： craft[kr?ft/kraft]、half[h?f/ha:f]、laugh[l?f/la:f]等。 美式英语和英式英语的读音差异还表现在某些单词的发音上，没有一定的规律可循，例如：ate[eit/et]、been[bin/bi:n］、 idyll['aidl/'idil］等。

英式英语和美式英语的单词拼写差别

：英式英语和美式英语的单词拼写差别 英式英语比美式英语单词更长，拼写更复杂 例如：dialogue（英式）dialog（美式） archaeology（英式）archeology（美式） colour（英式）color（美式） favourite （英式）favorite（美式） jewellry（英式）jewelry（美式） programme （英式）program（美式） storey（英式）story（美式） 情况二：英式英语以re结尾，美式英语以er结尾 例如：centre（英式）center（美式） theatre（英式）theater（美式） metre（英式）meter（美式） 情况三：s与c, s与z 例如：licence（英式）license（美式） practise（英式）practice（美式） analyse（英式）analyze（美式） globalisation（英式）globalization（美式）情况四：其它 例如：grey（英式）gray（美式） manoeuvre（英式）maneuver（美式）至于用法，英式英语和美式英语除了在语法上有很多不同，在某些概念的词汇表达上也有很大差异。请比较以下这几组日常生活中的常用词：公寓单元flat（英式）apartment（美式） 电话区号dialling code（英式）area code（美式） 律师lawyer（英式）attorney（美式） 小汽车car（英式）auto（美式） 钞票note（英式）bill（美式） 薯片crisps（英式）chips（美式） 电梯lift（英式）elevator（美式） 高速公路motorway（英式）freeway（美式） 长裤trousers（英式）pants（美式） 由此可见，区分英式英语和美式英语的区别，才能减少在口笔译工作中的沟通问题。
