英語 VS 美語

  今天,12月11日,星期二,來澳洲第89天,今天天氣晴。   
  
  這是個有趣的現象,我來澳大利亞至今也有一段時間了,逐漸的了解到一件事:澳洲是站在英國這邊的,澳大利亞,充斥著英式英語,那個只有英國佬引以為傲且承認的英語、道地的英語。千萬不要跟澳洲人說Long time no see,請把這些話留給美國佬說。   

  基本上,台灣人所學的,並不是英語,而是美語,不信你看:

  英:Centre/美:Center
  
  英:Labour/美:Labor

  英:Honour/美:Honor   

  英:Grey/美:Gray   

  英:Catalogue/美:Catalog   

  英:Favourite/美:Favorite   

  英:takeaway/美:takeout   

  英:Cinema or theatre/美:Theater   

  英:film/美:movie   

  英:Serviette/美:Napkin   

  英:Litre/美:Liter   

  英:primary school/美:elementary school   

  英:lift/美:elevator   

  英:surname/美:Last name   

  英:petrol/美:gas   

  英:rubbish/美:garbage   

  英:colour/美:color   

  英:realise/美:realize   

  英:Organisation/美:Organization   

  英:Programme/美:Program   

  英:flat/美:apartment   

  英:postman/美:mailman   

  英:Luggage/美:Baggage   

  英:cheque/美:check   

  英:Chips/美:French fries   

  不要為此感到困惑,因為就連我們中文,也都有簡繁體之分,不是嗎?而且大陸與台灣、香港也都有自己特別的習慣用語,所以,不妨"入境隨俗"吧!在澳大利亞,就乖乖的用道地的英國式英語吧!
