When people use words and expressions different from the “standard language”，it is called a dialect.American English has many dialects，especially the midwestern，southern，African American and Spanish dialects.Even in some parts of the USA，two people from neighbouring towns speak a little differently.American English has so many dialects because people have come from all over the world. Geography also plays a part in making dialects.Some people who live in the mountains of the eastern USA speak with an older kind of English dialect.When Americans moved from one place to another，they took their dialects with them.So people from the mountains in the southeastern USA speak with almost the same dialect as people in the northwestern USA.The USA is a large country in which many different dialects are spoken.Although many Americans move a lot，they still recognize and understand each others dialects. 标准英语和方言 什么是标准英语？是在英国、美国、加拿大、澳大利亚、印度和新西兰所说的英语吗？信不信由你，根本就不存在什么标准英语。许多人认为，电视和收音机里所说的就是标准英语。这是因为在早期的电台节目里，新闻播音员被理所当然地认为说很好的英语。然而，即使在电视和收音机里你也会听到人们说话方式的差异。 当人们使用不同于“标准英语”的词语时，那就叫做方言。美国英语有很多方言，特别是中西部方言、南部方言，非裔美国人的方言以及西班牙人的方言。甚至在美国有些地区，来自相邻城镇的两个人的讲话有时可能也会稍有不同。美国英语之所以有如此多的方言是因为美国人来自世界各地。 地理位置对方言的产生也有影响。住在美国东部山区的一些人说话带有比较古老的英语方言。当美国人从一个地方迁到另一个地方时，他们把方言随之带去。因此，美国东南部山区的人同美国西北部的人所说的方言几乎相同。美国是一个大国，国内的人们说着许许多多不同的方言。尽管许多美国人经常搬迁，他们依然能够辨别并且听懂彼此的方言。 课时解读 ——课标考纲解读—— 1．通过各种练习重温本单元前几个部分所学习的新单词和短语。 2．通过新的例子展现美国英语、英国英
