Unit 2 English around the world世界上的英語55晨讀·記憶Different Countries Have Different Kinds of Englishes 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. 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 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.不同的國(guó)家有不同的英語 英國(guó)人的航海在英語的傳播中扮演了重要的角色。目前，英語在許多國(guó)家被作為官方語言或通用語言頻繁地使用，例如美國(guó)、新加波、馬來西亞和一些非洲的國(guó)家。這些國(guó)家的英語都以英式英語為基礎(chǔ)，能很好地為以英語為本族語的人所理解。但是實(shí)際上，這些英語在口音、拼寫、表達(dá)和詞匯的使用方面都在逐漸變化。 因?yàn)檫@一情況的存在，你就可以利用這些英語之間的區(qū)別說出你們街區(qū)的外國(guó)人是哪個(gè)國(guó)家來的了。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拿卡車和出租車的汽油)”，而不是請(qǐng)求說，“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。I.單詞盤點(diǎn)1._(n.) 電梯；升降機(jī) 2._(n.) <英>汽油（=<美>gasoline） 3._(n.) 汽油；氣體；煤氣；毒氣 4._(adj.) 官方的；正式的；公務(wù)的 5._(n.) 航行；航海 6._ (adj.) 本國(guó)的;本地的 (n.)本地人;本國(guó)人 7._(n.) <美>公寓住宅；單元住宅 8._(adv.) 實(shí)際上；事實(shí)上 9._(vt.) 以為根據(jù) (n.)基部；基地；基礎(chǔ) 10._(adj.) 逐漸的；逐步的 _(adv.) 逐漸地；逐步地 11._(n.) 丹麥語 (adj.) 丹麥的;丹麥人的;丹麥語的12._(n.) 詞匯；詞匯量；詞匯表 13._ (n.) 拼寫；拼法 14._(adj.) 較后的；后半的；后者的 _(adj.) 最新的；最近的 _(adv.) 后來 _(adv.) 最近；近來15. _(n.) 本身；本體；身份 16._(adj.) 流利的；流暢的 _(adv.) 流利地；流暢地 _(n.) 流利；流暢17._(n.) 新加坡 18._(n.) 馬來西亞；馬來群島 19. _(adj.) 頻繁的；常見的 _(adv.) 常常；頻繁地20. _(n.) 使用;用法;詞語慣用法 21._(n.&vt.) 命令；指令；掌握 22._(n.&vt.) 請(qǐng)求；要求 23._ (n.) 詞語；表示；表達(dá) _(vt.) 表達(dá)；表示24. _(adj.) 中西部的；有中西部特性的 25._(adj.) 非洲的；非洲人的；非洲語言的 26._(adj.) 西班牙的；西班牙人的；西班牙語的 (n.) 西班牙人；西班牙語27. _(adj.) 東方的；東部的 28. _(adj.) 東南方的；來自東南的 29._(adj.) 西北方的；來自西北的 30._(v.) 辨認(rèn)出；承認(rèn)；公認(rèn) _(n.) 認(rèn)出；公認(rèn) 31. _(n.) <英>卡車（=<美>truck） 32. _(n.) 口音；腔調(diào)；重音 33 ._(n.) 閃電34._(adv.) 直接；挺直(adj.)直的;筆直的;正直的35._(n.) 街區(qū)；塊；木塊；石塊36._(n.) 出租車II.短語回顧1.超過；非常；不只是；不僅是 _2因?yàn)椋挥捎?_3.走近；上來；提出 _4.的數(shù)量 _5.以為基礎(chǔ) _6.現(xiàn)在；目前 _7.利用；使用 _8.例如；像這種的 _9.繼續(xù)，堅(jiān)持；（打電話時(shí)）別掛斷 _10.確信；務(wù)必 _11.信不信由你 _12.扮演一個(gè)角色；參與 _ III.句式掃描1.Which country do you think has the most English learners?（教材P9）你認(rèn)為哪個(gè)國(guó)家有最多的英語學(xué)習(xí)者。2.Native English speakers can understand each other even ifthey dont speak the same kind of English.

English or Chinglish？咱倆誰跟誰！who are you ?(背景:一個(gè)外國(guó)朋友和一個(gè)中國(guó)人在一起吃飯。那個(gè)外國(guó)朋友覺得中國(guó)人很好客、熱情，要表示感謝。)Foreigner：Thank you for this wonderful meal and your hospitality.Chinese：Not at all.We two are who and who?Foreigner：Well，my name is xxx and you're yyy.外國(guó)人：謝謝你的盛情款待。中國(guó)人：不客氣。我們倆誰跟誰啊?外國(guó)人：我是xxx，你是yyy。知識(shí)擴(kuò)展·問題分析： When the Chinese man asks，“we two are who and who?”what he really wants to say is “咱倆誰跟誰呀?” but because of the different ways of expressing ideas, in English, the question seems to mean“我是誰?你是誰?” That's why the foreigner says the names.In English，a better way of saying“咱倆誰跟誰”would be“not a big deal，we're friends.” "Thanks"的不同用法：Thanks a million.非常感謝(一百萬的感謝，形容很多)。Thanks a ton.非常感謝(一噸的感謝，形容很多)。Thanks for everything.感謝一切。Thanks for the good time.感謝好時(shí)光。Thank you from the bottom of my heart.發(fā)自內(nèi)心的感激。Thank goodness.謝天謝地。 摘自Kirk Kenny笑死我的英文書參考答案I.單詞盤點(diǎn)1.elevator 2.petrol 3.gas 4.official 5.voyage 6.native 7.apartment 8.actually 9.base 10.gradual;gradually 11.Danish12.vocabulary 13.spelling 14.latter;latest;later;lately 15.identity 16.fluent;fluently;fluency 17.Singapore 8.Malaysia 19.frequent;frequently 20.usage mand 22.request 23.expression; express 24.midwestern 25.African 26.Spanish 27.eastern 28.southeastern 29.northwestern 30.recognize;recognition31.lorry32.accent33.lightning 34.straight 35.block 36.cab II.短語回顧1.more than 2.because of e up 4.the number of 5.be based on 6.at present 7.make use of 8.such as 9.hold on 10.make sure 11. believe it or not 12.play a part (in)IV.小試牛刀.單詞填空1.fluently2.elevators3.frequently4.recognize5southeastern6.gradual7.latter8.expression9actually10.based.短語填空1.such as 2. plays an important part in 3.At present 4.make full use of e up 6.because of 7. more than .單句填詞1.even if 2.as 3.(should) start 4.based.單句改錯(cuò)1.at改為on 2.is 改為are 3.left改為leave 4.as改為even 5.in改為around 6.played后面加an e改為came 8.frequently改為frequent去掉make后面的 a 10.stop改為stopping
