HYPERLINK 美联英语提供：美联英语：英式、美式和印式英语的区别（上） There are several areas in which British and American spelling are different. The differences often come about because British English has tended to keep the spelling of words it has absorbed from other languages (e.g. French), while American English has adapted the spelling to reflect the way that the words actually sound when theyre spoken. 英式英语和美式英语的拼写在某些地方不尽相同。原因是英式英语更倾向于保留外来语（如法语）的拼写，而美式英语的拼写反映了单词的实际发音。 If youre writing for British readers, you should only use British spellings. In one or two cases, the preferred American spellings are acceptable in British English as well, especially the -ize/-ization endings. While you can use both the -ise/-isation or the -ize/ization endings in British English, its important to stick to one style or the other throughout the same piece of writing. 如果你的读者是英国人，那么就应该使用英式拼写。偶尔几种美式拼写也能被英式英语接受，特别是以-ize/-ization结尾的单词。英式英语中可以使用以-ise/-isation或-ize/ization结尾的单词，但重要的是在一篇文章内保持同一种拼写方式。 Here are the main ways in which British and American spelling are different. 以下是英式和美式拼写的主要不同。 Words ending in –re 以-re结尾的单词 British English words that end in -re often end in -er in American English: 英式英语中以-re结尾的单词通常在美式英语中以-er结尾。 British?US centre?center fibre?fiber litre?liter theatre?theater/theatre Words ending in –our 以-our结尾的单词 British English words ending in -our usually end in -or in American English: 英式英语中以-our结尾的单词通常在美式英语中以-or结尾。 British?US colour?color flavour?flavor humour?humor labour?labor Words ending in -ize or –ise 以ize或ise结尾的单词 Verbs in British English that can be spelled with either -ize or -ise at the end are always spelled with -ize at the end in American English: 英式英语中以-ize或-ise结尾的动词都是合乎拼写规则的。但在美式英语中，它们总是以-ize结尾。 British?US apologize/apologise?apologize organize/organise?organize recognize/recognise?recognize Words ending in –yse 以-yse结尾的单词 Verbs in British English that end in -yse are always spelled -yze in American English: 英式英语中以-yse结尾的单词在美式英语中总是以-yze结尾。 British?US analyse?analyze breathalyse?b
