英腔美调176

When I was in London，I soon found that the English I heard on the street sounds rather different from what I learnt in the states. Brits（formally）：Ok, babe, Better toddle. Give me a bell. Brits（loosely）：Very well, my dear, I had better go. Do phone me. Americans: Hey, uh, I gotta go. Call me later. The accent is not the only difficulty, the vocabulary that some people use do surprise me. There are basic words and phrases that are absolutely essential for everyday communication. For example: Please， Thank you， pardon？Lovely 1.Will you marry me? Certainly not. You didn’t say please! 2.-:Jack, is this your baggage? -:Pardon? -:Is this baggage yours? -: Lovely, it’s mine. Thank you.
