英式英语和美式英语在读音上的区别
英式英语和美式英语在读音上的差异主要反映在元音字母a, o和辅音字母r的不同读音上。
在ask, can’t, dance, fast, half, path 这一类的单词中，英国人将字母a读作/a:/，而美国人则读作/ /，所以这些词在美国人口中就成了/ sk/, /k nt/, /d ns/, /f st/, /h f/和/p θ/。
在box, crop, hot, spot这一类单词中，英国人将字母o读作/ /，而美国人则将o读作近似/a:/音的/a/。所以这些词美国人读起来就成了/baks/, /krap/, /hat/和/spat/。
辅音字母r在单词中是否读音是英式英语与美式英语的又一明显差异。在英式英语的r音节中不含卷舌音/r/，而美式英语的r音节中含卷舌音/r/，如下列词在英式英语和美式英语中读音是不同的：
英式英语读音 美式英语读音
car /ka:/ /kar/
door /d :/ /d r/
party /'pa:tI/ /'partI/

The Chinese Writing System: Connecting the Past and the Present. China is wildly known for its ancient civilizations which has continued all the way through into modern times, despite the many ups and downs in its history. There are many reasons why this has been possible①, but one of the main factors has been the Chinese writing system. At the beginning, written Chinese was a picture-based language. It dates back several thousand years to the use of longgu - animal bones and shells on which symbols were carved by ancient Chinese people②. Some of the ancient symbols can still be seen in today's hanzi. By the Shang Dynasty (around 1600-1046 BCE), these symbols had become a well-developed writing system. Over the years, the system developed into different forms, as it was a time③ when people were divided geographically, leading to many varieties of dialects and characters④. This, however, changed under Emperor QinShiHuang of the Qin Dynasty(221-207BCE). Emperor QinShiHuang united the seven major states into one unified country where the Chinese writing system began to develop in one direction⑤. That writing system was of great importance in uniting the Chinese people and culture. Even today, no matter where Chinese people live or what dialect they speak⑥, they can all still communicate in writing. Written Chinese has also become an important means by which China's present is connected with its past⑦. People in modern times can read the classic works which were written by Chinese in ancient times. The high regard for Chinese writing system can be seen in the development of Chinese characters as an art form, known as Chinese calligraphy, which has become an important part of Chinese culture⑧. Today, the Chinese writing system is still an important part of Chinese culture. As China plays a greater role in global affairs⑨, an increasing number of international students are beginning to appreciate China’s culture and history through this amazing language.
