TheNewYorkTimes.The“slant”(oremphasis)ofthenewswillnaturallybedifferent,butthelanguagehereadsisbasicallythesame.Pre-readingPreparation1.美式英语和英式英语有一些不同之处，特别是在口语中。在书面语中二者的差异并不大。它们的核心词汇是相同的。一个读《泰晤士报》的伦敦人，在飞越大西洋时能毫不费力地随手翻阅《纽约时报》。报纸上的新闻观点（或重点）自然是各不相同，但他读到的语言基本上是相同的。TranslationPartⅠTextReadingComprehensionCulturalNotesNewWordsandPhrasesDetailedLearning2.ForthosewhosefirstlanguageisnotEnglishthereare,however,somepuzzlingdifferences.Themostobviousisspelling.Inthedaysbeforeprint,communicationwashandwritingandeverymanspeltashechose.Printingchangedallthat;bythe18thcenturythegreatEnglishDictionary(1755)ofDr.Johnsonlaiddownastandardsetofspellingsthathasalteredlittletothepresentday.Translation2.但是对于那些母语不是英文的人来说，就会有一些令人迷惑的差异了。最明显的是拼写。在印刷技术出现之前，文字交流是靠手书写的，每一个人都可以按自己的选择拼写。印刷技术完全改变了这一情况；到了18世纪，约翰逊博士的杰作《英语词典》（1755）制定了一套拼写标准，而且至今几乎没变。Pre-readingPreparationPartⅠTextReadingComprehensionCulturalNotesNewWordsandPhrasesDetailedLearning3.Thisspellingisnoteasy.Itispartlyphonetic,butonlypartly,andithasmanymaddeninginconsistencies.EvennativespeakersfindithardandchildrenwhospeaktheirnativeEnglishfluentlytakeyearstolearnhowtospelltheirownlanguage.Evenwell-educatedpeopleinBritainandAmericahavetoconsultthedictionarymoreoftenthantheygenerallyadmit!Translation3.这种拼写并不简单。它部分是根据发音而成，但仅仅是部分而已，而且有一些令人抓狂的矛盾之处。甚至以英语为母语的人也觉得它很难，连那些说一口流利英语的孩子们也要花好几年的时间才能学会拼写他们的母语。在英国和美国，甚至那些受过良好教育的人也不得不经常查阅词典，而且其频率比他们通常承认的要高得多。Pre-readingPreparationPartⅠTextReadingComprehensionCulturalNotesNewWordsandPhrasesDetailedLearning4.Therehavebeenmanyattemptsto“reform”Englishspelling.ThemostimportantspellingreformerwasanAmericanNoahWebster,whoin1828producedafranklynationalisticdictionary:AnAmericanDictionaryoftheEnglishLanguage.Mr.Websteraddedsomethousandsof“American”wordsthatwereunknowntoDr.Johnsonandhemountedanall-outassaultonthe“traditional”Englishwayofspelling.Translation4.曾出现过许多次“改革”英文拼写的尝试。最重要的拼写改革家当数美国的诺亚·韦伯斯特，他在1828年编纂了一本带有不加掩饰的国家主义色彩的词典——《美国英语词典》。韦伯斯特先生增加了数以千计的“美语词汇”，这些词汇并不为约翰逊博士所知。而且，他还竭力攻击“传统”的英式拼写。Pre-readingPreparationPartⅠTextReadingComprehensionCulturalNotesNewWordsandPhrasesDetailedLearning5.Why,heasked,shouldwespell“thumb”whenwedonotpronouncetheletter“b”?ButeventheAmericansofhistimeignoredhimanditremains“thumb”tothisdayinmoderneditionsofWebster.Translation5.他曾说：thumb（拇指）中的b不发音，为什么我们却拼写成thumb？但是，甚至他那个时代的美国人都对他不予理睬，所以直到现在，现代版的《韦伯斯特词典》还是将“拇指”拼写成thumb。Pre-readingPreparationPartⅠTextReadingComprehensionCulturalNotesNewWordsandPhrasesDetailedLearning6.However,Mr.Websterwastriumphantinotherwords.His“reformedspelling”ofEnglishin“-our”wordshaswontheday,“favor”,“labor”,“honor”,replacingtheEnglish“favour”,“labour”,“honour”.Similarly,AmericanEnglishspellswordslike“centre”,“theatre”,“calibre”as“center”,“theater”,and“caliber”.Translation6.然而，韦伯斯特先生却成功地改革了其他的一些词汇。他在-our的拼写改革上就取得了成功。favor，labor，honor替代了（以前）英式英语中的favour，labour，honour。同样，美式英语把诸如centre，theatre，calibre拼写成center，theater，caliber。Pre-readingPreparationPartⅠTextReadingComprehensionCulturalNotesNewWordsandPhrasesDetailedLearning7.OneoftheotherwaysinwhichAmericanspellingdiffersfromtheBritishisinthetreatmentoftheletter“l”inthemiddleofaword.ThedifferenceisclearlyvisibleinAmericanExpresschecks.IftheyareissuedinUKpoundstheybearthetitle“Traveller’sCheque”;ifinUSdollars“Traveler’sCheck”.Fortunatelyatraderwillaccepteither!Ifthemoneyisgoodwhyworryaboutspelling?Translation7.美式拼写与英式拼写的另一个不同之处是在处理单词中的字母l的问题上。这种不同在美国捷运公司的支票上显而易见。如果是以英国英镑发行，那么它们就叫Traveller’sCheque,如果是以美国美元发行，那就是Traveler’sCheck。幸运的是，商人会接受两者中的任何一种！如果钱没错，为什么要在乎它的拼写呢？Pre-readingPreparationPartⅠTextReadingComprehensionCulturalNotesNewWordsandPhrasesDetailedLearning8.Invocabularytherearealsonumerousdifferences.TheBritishtakea“lift”totheupperfloorsofabuilding,theAmericansan“elevator”;Britishmotorcarshavea“bonnet”anda“boot”andareprotectedby“bumpers”,Americancarshavea“hood”anda“trunk”andareprotectedby“fenders”;Britishpassengerstravelinrailway“carriages”,Americansinrailway“cars”.Translation8.（美式英语和英式英语）在词汇方面也有很多不同之处。英国人乘lift（电梯）到一栋建筑的高层，而美国人则乘elevator（电梯）；英国的机动车有一个bonnet（引擎罩）和一个boot（行李箱）并且受bumpers（保险杠）的保护；而美国汽车则有一个hood（引擎罩）和一个trunk（行李箱），并受fenders（保险杠）的保护；英国乘客在铁路上的carriages（车厢）中旅行，而美国人则乘坐在铁路上的cars（车厢）里。Pre-readingPreparationPartⅠTextReadingComprehensionCulturalNotesNewWordsandPhrasesDetailedLearning9.AfterMr.Webster,themostinfluentialadvocateoftheseparatenessofAmericanEnglishwasH.L.Mencken,whosebookTheAmericanLanguagewasfirstpublishedin1919.ButtheevenmoreinfluentialmagazineTheNewYorker,firstpublishedin1925,insistedthatcontributors

conformtothestyleoftheH.W.Fowler’sveryBritishModernEnglishUsage.Translation9.在韦伯斯特先生之后，亨利·路易斯·门肯是提倡美式英语独立性的最有影响的人物，他所著的《美国语言》于1919年首次出版。但是更有影响力的杂志《纽约客》——1925年首次发行——却坚持让投稿者遵循亨利·沃森·福勒的《现代英语用法词典》中那种带有明显英式英语特点的风格。Pre-readingPreparationPartⅠTextReadingComprehensionCulturalNotesNewWordsandPhrasesDetailedLearning10.ThetruthisthattherearenumeroussmalldifferencesbetweenBritishandAmericanusages.Allmajorlanguagesshowthesamekindofregionalvariation.Itisinevitable.Thequestionis:Aretheyimportant?WiththespreadofEnglishasaninternationalmediumtheanswerseemstobe“notvery”.ThevariationsbetweenAmericanEnglishandBritishEnglishareslightwhensetbesidewhatthetwohaveincommon.ReadersofEnglishanywherecanmovefromtheFinancialTimesorTheEconomist(publishedinEngland)toTimeortheReader’sDigest(publishedinAmerica),wellawarethattheyarereadingthesamelanguage.Translation10.事实上，英式英语和美式英语在用法上有许多细微的差异。所有的主要语言都有着同样的地域性差异，这是不可避免的。但问题是：这些差异很重要吗？随着英语作为一种国际媒介被广泛传播，答案似乎是“不是很重要”。与它们的共同之处相比，美式英语和英式英语之间的差异只是微乎其微的。任何地方的英文读者都既能读《金融时报》和《经济学人》（英国出版），也能读《时代周刊》和《读者文摘》（美国出版），并很清楚地知道，他们读到的是同一种语言。Pre-readingPreparationPartⅠTextReadingComprehensionCulturalNotesNewWordsandPhrasesDetailedLearning11.Whichthentochoose?Usethevariantusedinyourcommunity.Thensticktoit.Donotmixthetwo.Translation11.那么该如何选择呢？答案是使用你所在区域使用的语言，然后坚持使用下去，不要混用。Pre-readingPreparationPartⅠTextReadingComprehensionCulturalNotesNewWordsandPhrasesDetailedLearning1.exhibit:vt.表现；展现a.Sheexhibitedpleasurebysmiling.她通过微笑表示高兴。b.Theyoungmusiciansareeagertoexhibittheirtalent.年轻的音乐家们都极想展现他们的才能。Pre-readingPreparationBackPartⅠPre-readingPreparationTextReadingComprehensionCulturalNotesNewWordsandPhrasesDetailedLearning2.colloquialspeech:口语a.Incolloquialspeech,theAmericansusetheword“kid”toreferto“child”.在口语中，美国人用kid这个词来指“小孩”。b.IntheUnitedStates,manypeopleuseslangintheircolloquialspeech.Therefore,sometimes,itisverydifficultforyoutounderstandwhattheyaretalkingabout.在美国，很多人在口语中使用俚语。因此，有时你很难听懂他们在说些什么。BackPartⅠPre-readingPreparationTextReadingComprehensionCulturalNotesNewWordsandPhrasesDetailedLearning3.pickup:拿起；捡起；整理；（通过学习或经历）获得，不经意中学会a.Hepickedupabookfromthebookshelfandreadit.他从书架上拿起一本书，然后读了起来。b.Hepickedupthebrokenpiecesofglassonthefloor.他拾起地上的玻璃碎片。c.Let’spickupthelivingroom,foritlookstoountidyforgirls.我们收拾一下起居室吧，因为对于女孩来说它太脏了。d.WhilehevisitedParis,hepickedupsomeFrench.在访问巴黎期间，他学了些法语。BackPartⅠTextReadingComprehensionCulturalNotesNewWordsandPhrasesDetailedLearning4.laydown:规定a.Afterhewasappointedthenewpresidentoftheschool,helaiddowntheschoolrules.在被任命为新校长之后，他制定了校规。b.Sinceshewastheteacherincharge,shelaiddownthemarkingcriteria.因为她是负责的老师，她规定了评分标准。Pre-readingPreparationBackPartⅠTextReadingComprehensionCulturalNotesNewWordsandPhrasesDetailedLearning5.tothepresentday:直到现在（与tothisday同义）a.Tothepresentday,Istilldon’tunderstandwhyhedidit.我至今还是不理解他为什么那么做。b.Thoseproposalshavetothisdaynotmetwithanyresponsefromthem.他们至今还没有对那些提议做出任何反应。Pre-readingPreparationBackPartⅠTextReadingComprehensionCulturalNotesDetailedLearning6.attempt:n.尝试，努力v.企图，试图（做）a.Hemadeanattempttoescape,butfailed.他企图逃跑，但失败了。b.Iwillattempttoanswerallyourquestions.我将试着回答你所有的问题。Pre-readingPreparationBackNewWordsandPhrasesPartⅠDetailedLearning7.beunknowntosb.:不为某人所知（由bewell-knownto而来）8.mount:vt.发动；登上a.Thesoldiershavebeenreadytomountanotherattack.战士们已经做好了发动又一次进攻的准备。b.Heslowlymountedthesteps.他慢慢地登上台阶。Pre-readingPreparationBackTextReadingComprehensionCulturalNotesNewWordsandPhrasesPartⅠ9.all-out:adj.竭尽全力的；全部的
