The items she set down helped him find the highway to studying Englishwell. The teenager was grateful and got great powerfrom his friend’s words.

Different Countries Have Different Kinds of Englishes 不同的国家有不同的英语 Voyages of people from England play an important partin spreading the English language. Atpresent, English is frequentlyspoken as an official orcommon language in many countries, suchas America, Singapore, Malaysia and some African countries. All based on British English, the English spoken in these countries canbe well understood by nativeEnglish speakers. But actually,these Englishes have been graduallychanging in accents, spellings, expressions and the usageof vocabulary. Because of this fact, you can make use ofthe differences to tell which country the foreigners of your block are from. For example, ifa boss fluently commandshis driver, “Come up straightto 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. 译文： 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 takesome 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）”，而不是要求说，“Please come to myflat 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。 本文来源：https://www.wddqw.com/doc/b65e7e55fe4ffe4733687e21af45b307e871f9d1.html
