第二段教师解释第二段提到的例子,复习上节课学习过的英式英语和美式英语的区别;
The biggest difference between British and American English is not in spelling but in word usage. Different English- speaking cultures sometimes use the same words in different ways. For example, British English speakers prefer to say “I've got” whereas American English speakerds simply say “I have”. In response to something that was not fully understood, a British English speaker says “Pardon?” or “Sorry?” An American English speaker is more likely to say “What's that? “Say that again? “Say what?” or even “Come again?” All of these differences are a direct result of cultures separated both geographically and historically.
