Text Study Para This spelling is not easy. It is partly phonetic, but only partly, and it has many maddening inconsistencies. Even native speakers find it hard and children who speak their native English fluently take years to learn how to spell their own language. Even well-educated people in Britain and America have to consult the dictionary more often than they generally admit!
3
adj. 语音的;语音学的;表示发音的 e.g. a. Is the text marked with phonetic symbols? 课文有注音吗? b. international phonetic alphabet 国际音标
4
vt. 使疯狂 e.g. The colonel's calmness maddened Pluskat. 上校的镇静激怒了普拉斯凯特。 maddening adj. 令人疯狂的 The box has spat forth maddening nine second sound bite. 电视机整整吐放了九秒钟令人疯狂的插播。
5
n. 不一致,矛盾 e.g. There is a great inconsistency between what he says and what he does. 他的言行极不一致。
6
Para. 3 这种拼写并不容易。它部分是根据发音而
成,但仅仅是部分而已,而且有一些令人发狂的矛 盾之处。甚至说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字典,其频率比他 们通常承认的要高得多。

Text Study Para. 4 There have been many attempts to “reform” English spelling. The most important spelling reformer was an American Noah Webster, who in 1828 produced a frankly nationalistic American Dictionary of the English Language. Webster added some thousands of “American” words that were unknown to Dr. Johnson and he mounted an all-out assault on the “traditional” English way of spelling.
8
n. 尝试,努力 e.g. He made an attempt to escape, but he failed. 他企图逃跑,但失败了。 vt. 企图,试图(做) I will attempt to answer all your questions. 我将试着回答你所有的问题。
9
Noah Webster (1758 –1843) 美国所有词典编纂家中最著名的一位,他一直坚定不移地支持美国英语。从1789 年的《论英语》到1828 年的《美国英语词典》(今简称《韦氏大词典》),他的作品像塞缪尔・约翰逊的作品一样举世闻名。
10
nationalistic: 国家主义,该词本意是指国家主义,在此处指带有国家主义色彩,原因是诺亚・韦伯斯特在当时坚持不懈地在美国推行美国英语,并撰写了《美国英语词典》(今简称《韦氏大词典》)对美国英语进行规范,所以说带有美国国家主义色彩。
11
vt. 发动 e.g. a. The soldiers have been ready to mount another attack. 战士们已经做好了发动又一次进攻的准备。 b. The women in this country mounted another campaign for equal rights with men. 这个国家的妇女又一次发起了要求拥有与男性 同等权利的运动。
12
adj. 竭力的; 全部的 e.g. a. He made an all-out sprint and won the first prize in the race. 他竭尽全力地冲刺,取得了跑步比赛的第一名。 b. They worked out an all-out conservation program. 他们制定了一个全方位的资源保护计划。
13
n. 攻击,袭击 e.g. They responded with assaults against the enemy's bases. 他们向敌人阵地发起反攻。 vt. 攻击,袭击 We assaulted the city on all sides. 我们从四面八方向该城发起攻击。
14
Para. 4 历史上曾出现过许多“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 年编纂出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 伯斯特增加了数以千计的“美国词汇”,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”英文拼写方式。
15
Text Study when we do not pronounce the letter “b”? But
Para Why, he asked, should we spell “thumb” when we do not pronounce the letter “b”? But even the Americans of his time ignored him and it remains “thumb" to this day in modern editions of Webster.
16
n. 拇指 e.g. a. This glove has a hole in the thumb. 这只手套的大拇指处有个洞。 b. The man swore when the hammer hit his thumb. 那个男人咒骂起来,他的拇指让锤子砸了 一下。
17
Para. 5 他曾说:“thumb(拇指)”中的“b”不发音,为什么我们却拼成“thumb”
Para. 5 他曾说:“thumb(拇指)”中的“b”不发音,为什么我们却拼成“thumb”? 但是,甚至他那个时代的美国人也都对他不予理睬,所以直到现在,韦伯斯特现代版的词典还是将“拇指”拼成“thumb”。

Text Study Para. 6 However, Webster was triumphant in other words. His “reformed spelling” of English in “-our” words has won the day, “favor”, “labor”, “honor”, replacing the English “favour”, “labour”, “honour”. Similarly, American English spells words like “centre”, “theatre”, “calibre” as “center”, “theater”, and “caliber”.
21
adj. 胜利的,成功的;(因成功而)欢欣鼓舞的, 洋洋得意的
e.g. a. The victorious general made a triumphant return. 战胜的将军凯旋而归。 b. In the summer of 1958 the pianist had a sensationally triumphant return. 1958年夏天这位钢琴家非常成功地复出了。
22
(在竞赛或争论中)获胜,占上风 e.g. a. Despite strong opposition, the ruling party won the day. 尽管对手实力很强,执政党还是获胜了。 b. New products grab headlines, but useful products that give good value often win the day. 虽然新产品抢占了媒体的重要新闻,但物有所 值的实用产品通常获胜。
23
n. [ 英](枪、炮等的)口径 e.g. A small bore rifle means that the weapon is in the 0.22 to 0.38 calibre range. 小口径步枪是指枪的口径为0.22~0.38。 n. 才干,水准 e.g. There are few workers left of her calibre. 像她那种工作人员剩下的不多了。
24
Para. 6 然而,韦伯斯特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”。
25
Text Study Para. 7 One of the other ways in which American spelling differs from the British is in the treatment of the letter “I” in the middle of a word. The difference is clearly visible in American Express checks. If they are issued in UK pounds they bear the title “Traveller’s Cheque”; if in US dollars “Traveler’s Check”. Fortunately a trader will accept either! If the money is good why worry about spelling?
26
a. Birds differ from mammals. 鸟类与哺乳动物不同。
vi.(from, in)与……不同,相异 e.g. a. Birds differ from mammals. 鸟类与哺乳动物不同。 b. The testimony of the two witnesses differed from each other. 两个目击者的证词不一致。 vi. (with, from) 与······意见不同 For More
27
vi. (with, from) 与······意见不同 e.g.
I’m sorry to differ with you on that. 对不起,在那件事上我们看法不同。 End
28
Para. 7 美式拼写与英式拼写的另一个不同之
处,是在处理一个单词中间的字母“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 果它们是以英国英镑发行,那么它们就叫 “Traveller’s Cheque”, 如果是以美国美元发行, 那就是“Traveler’s Check”。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?
29
Text Study Para. 8a In vocabulary there are also numerous differences. The British take a “lift” to the upper floors of a building, the Americans an “elevator”; British motor cars have a “bonnet” and a “boot” and are protected by “bumpers”, American cars have a “hood” and a “trunk” and are protected by “fenders”; British passengers travel in railway “carriages”, Americans in railway “cars”.
30
Para. 8a ( 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)”及一个“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)”及一个“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。
31
Text Study Para. 8b Dead Britons get buried in a “coffin” by means of an “undertaker”, dead Americans in a “casket” by means of a “mortician”; British children progress in school from “form” to “form”, American children from “grade” to “grade”; the British walk on a “pavement”, Americans on a “sidewalk”. There are hundreds of such variants.
32
n. [ 英] 棺材 a. The coffin was placed in the grave. 那口棺材已安放到坟墓里去了。 b. Every time he drinks wine, he drives a nail in his coffin. 他每喝一次酒,就等于加速死亡一步。 c. Coffin Nail, a slang term used to describe a cigarette. Something that might hasten or contribute to one's death, as in Every cigarette you smoke is another nail in your coffin.
33
Para. 8b 去世了的英国人通过一个“undertaker(丧葬承办人)”将其埋葬在一个“coffin(棺材)”里,而在美国则由一个“mortician(丧葬承办人)”将死者埋葬在一个“casket(棺材)”里;英国小孩在学校里从一个“form(年级)”升到高一个年级,而美国小孩则从学校的一个“grade(年级)”升到高一个年级;英国人走在“pavement(人行道)”上,而美国人却步行在“sidewalk(人行道)”上。诸如此类的差异还有数百种。

Text Study small differences between British and American
Para. 10a The truth is that there are numerous small differences between British and American usages. All major languages show the same kind of regional variation. It is inevitable.
