IELTS 英語vs.美語大不同(British English vs. American English)

由於台灣學生從小到大接觸的幾乎都是美式英語,也較習慣美語的用詞及口音,因此在參加以英國、澳洲口音為主的IELTS測驗,總是比較吃虧。在此,我們幫您準備了英語與美語的差異,讓您考試時得心應手!

Spelling(拼字)

單字 British English(英語) American English(美語) 單字 British English(英語) American English(美語)
中心 centre center 珠寶 jewellery jewelry
支票 cheque check 勞工 labour labor
顏色 colour color 了解 realise realize
對話 dialogue dialog 劇院 theatre theater
最愛的 favourite favorite      



Vocabulary(字彙)
大部份英語和美語在用詞上是一樣的,但有些字在用詞上則完全不同。例如:在美國地下鐵叫做subway,但是在美國subway則成為地下道,那英國的地下鐵怎麼說呢?英國的地下鐵叫underground,因為under是底下的意思,ground則是地面的意思,是不是很有道理呢?另外,英國的地下鐵是有很多管子構成的,故也可叫tube(管子)。

此外,rubber在英國是指橡皮擦,而在美國則變成了保險套(condom)的意思。以下我們幫您整理了更多常用英語與美語的不同用詞,讓你更快融入國外生活用語!
