;①Over the past 400 years, the form of the language used in Americas—especially in the United States—has become different from the one used in the United Kingdom in many ways, leading to the dialects (方言) which are now commonly referred to as American English and British English. Differences between the two include pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, spelling and idioms. A small number of words have completely different meanings between the two dialects, or are even unknown or not used in one of them.;Henry Sweet once predicted in 1877 that within a century，American English，Australian English and British English would be mutually (相互地) unintelligible (无法了解的)．Other experts have also made similar predictions.It may be the case that increased world wide communication through radio，television，the Internet，and globalization has reduced the amount of regional variation.This can result either in some variations disappear-ing or in the acceptance of wide variations as“perfectly good English”everywhere.;②However, it remains the case that although spoken American and British English are generally similar, there are enough differences to cause occasional misunderstandings or, at times, embarrassment. ; ①她父母死了，给她留下了许多钱。( v．-ing作结果状语) ____________________________________________________ ②劳动力短缺仍然是个问题。(remain ＋ adj./n. 意为“仍然 是，保存”) ____________________________________________________; A small number of words have completely different meanings between the two dialects, or are even unknown or not used in one of them. ________________________________________________ 　; 1．________ n. 语言学家　 2．________ n. 口音 3．________adj. 显然的；显而易见的 4．________vi.(英)排队(等候) 5．________vt.比较 6．________vt. 省略 7．________vi.不同；有区别; 1．________________有……相同的特点 2. ________________ 有影响；使不相同 3. ________________ 四处走动(旅行) 4. be similar to ________________ 5. lead to ________________; 1．It doesnt make much of a difference whether a teacher speaks British or American English.
