Unit 2 English around the world世界上的英语55晨读记忆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.不同的国家有不同的英语 英国人的航海在英语的传播中扮演了重要的角色。目前，英语在许多国家被作为官方语言或通用语言频繁地使用，例如美国、新加波、马来西亚和一些非洲的国家。这些国家的英语都以英式英语为基础，能很好地为以英语为本族语的人所理解。但是实际上，这些英语在口音、拼写、表达和词汇的使用方面都在逐渐变化。 因为这一情况的存在，你就可以利用这些英语之间的区别说出你们街区的外国人是哪个国家来的了。例如，如果有个老板流利地命令他的司机：“Come up straight to my apartment by elevator and take some gas for my trucks and cabs(直接搭电梯到我公寓上来拿卡车和出租车的汽油)”，而不是请求说，“Please come to my flat by lift and take some petrol for my lorries and taxis(请直接搭电梯到我公寓上来拿卡车和出租车的汽油)”，你就可以轻易地辨认出他的美国人身份，而后者却暗示着那是一位英国人。I.单词盘点1._(n.) 电梯；升降机 2._(n.) 汽油（=gasoline） 3._(n.) 汽油；气体；煤气；毒气 4._(adj.) 官方的；正式的；公务的 5._(n.) 航行；航海 6._ (adj.) 本国的;本地的 (n.)本地人;本国人 7._(n.) 公寓住宅；单元住宅 8._(adv.) 实际上；事实上 9._(vt.) 以为根据 (n.)基部；基地；基础 10._(adj.) 逐渐的；逐步的 _(adv.) 逐渐地；逐步地 11._(n.) 丹麦语 (adj.) 丹麦的;丹麦人的;丹麦语的12._(n.) 词汇；词汇量；词汇表 13._ (n.) 拼写；拼法 14._(adj.) 较后的；后半的；后者的 _(adj.) 最新的；最近的 _(adv.) 后来 _(adv.) 最近；近来15. _(n.) 本身；本体；身份 16._(adj.) 流利的；流畅的 _(adv.) 流利地；流畅地 _(n.) 流利；流畅17._(n.) 新加坡 18._(n.) 马来西亚；马来群岛 19. _(adj.) 频繁的；常见的 _(adv.) 常常；频繁地20. _(n.) 使用;用法;词语惯用法 21._(n.&vt.) 命令；指令；掌握 22._(n.&vt.) 请求；要求 23._ (n.) 词语；表示；表达 _(vt.) 表达；表示24. _(adj.) 中西部的；有中西部特性的 25._(adj.) 非洲的；非洲人的；非洲语言的 26._(adj.) 西班牙的；西班牙人的；西班牙语的 (n.) 西班牙人；西班牙语27. _(adj.) 东方的；东部的 28. _(adj.) 东南方的；来自东南的 29._(adj.) 西北方的；来自西北的 30._(v.) 辨认出；承认；公认 _(n.) 认出；公认 31. _(n.) 卡车（=truck） 32. _(n.) 口音；腔调；重音 33 ._(n.) 闪电34._(adv.) 直接；挺直(adj.)直的;笔直的;正直的35._(n.) 街区；块；木块；石块36._(n.) 出租车II.短语回顾1.超过；非常；不只是；不仅是 _2因为；由于 _3.走近；上来；提出 _4.的数量 _5.以为基础 _6.现在；目前 _7.利用；使用 _8.例如；像这种的 _9.继续，坚持；（打电话时）别挂断 _10.确信；务必 _11.信不信由你 _12.扮演一个角色；参与 _ III.句式扫描1.Which country do you think has the most English learners?（教材P9）你认为哪个国家有最多的英语学习者。2.Native English speakers can understand each other even ifthey dont speak the same kind of English.

English or Chinglish？咱俩谁跟谁！who are you ?(背景:一个外国朋友和一个中国人在一起吃饭。那个外国朋友觉得中国人很好客、热情，要表示感谢。)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 youre yyy.外国人：谢谢你的盛情款待。中国人：不客气。我们俩谁跟谁啊?外国人：我是xxx，你是yyy。知识扩展问题分析： When the Chinese man asks，“we two are who and who?”what he really wants to say is “咱俩谁跟谁呀?” but because of the different ways of expressing ideas, in English, the question seems to mean“我是谁?你是谁?” Thats why the foreigner says the names.In English，a better way of saying“咱俩谁跟谁”would be“not a big deal，were friends.” Thanks的不同用法：Thanks a million.非常感谢(一百万的感谢，形容很多)。Thanks a ton.非常感谢(一吨的感谢，形容很多)。Thanks for everything.感谢一切。Thanks for the good time.感谢好时光。Thank you from the bottom of my heart.发自内心的感激。Thank goodness.谢天谢地。 摘自Kirk Kenny笑死我的英文书参考答案I.单词盘点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.短语回顾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.小试牛刀.单词填空1.fluently2.elevators3.frequently4.recognize5southeastern6.gradual7.latter8.expression9actually10.based.短语填空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 .单句填词1.even if 2.as 3.(should) start 4.based.单句改错1.at改为on 2.is 改为are 3.left改为leave 4.as改为even 5.in改为around 6.played后面加an e改为came 8.frequently改为frequent去掉make后面的 a 10.stop改为stopping
