新课讲解
It’s evening. Brian is chatting online with David, a new friend from New York.
David: Hi Brian! How are you doing
Brian: Good, thanks! We have been asked to write a report on Asia.
I would like to ask my Chinese friend some questions about
colours in China. Maybe I’ll ringhim up tonight.
David: Ring up? What do you mean Phones don’t go up when
they ring. They can’t fly!
Brian:“To ring up someone” is the British way of saying to call
someone on the phone.
David:That’s different. There are quite a few differences
between your English and my English.
Brian: That’s true. Sometimes we describe the same thing in
different ways or use different words. We say “in a team”,
while you say “on a team”. And you use “washroom” or
“bathroom” instead of “toilet”.
David: You have “autumn” instead of “fall”,and you spell color
“c o l o u r”.
Brian: There are also some differences in pronunciation and even in
grammar. I remember asking my cousin to translate things
for me when I first came to Canada. “Are we speaking the
same language?”I asked myself.
David: Ha ha! Did you know that there is American English, British
English, Australian English and even African English?They
are different, but they are all English. By the way, some Canadians
use the word “eh” at the end of their sentences. It’s pronounced like
the letter “A”. What does it mean
Brian: It is a friendly way of saying “Do you understand?” or “Do you
agree?”
David: Oh, I see. That’s interesting, eh?

Maybe I’ll ring him up tonight.
ring up打电话
ring up 是“动词十副词”型短语, 若宾语为代词,必须放在二者之间;若宾语为名词,放在ring 和up 之间或者up 之后均可。
e.g. They often ring up their parents. 他们经常给父母打电话。

There are quite a few differences between your English and my English.
quite a few 相当多;不少

quite a little意为“许多;相当多”修饰不可数名词。 There is quite a little water in the glass.

A: Hello Tina! I don’t know how to (express/say/show)myself
well. Any advice
B: Sure. Why not talk with others in public I think that might help.

A: I know, but sometimes it’s hard for me to (pronounce/spell/say)
the words and sentences correctly. Instead, I need to (pronounce/
spell/write) them, which makes me feel embarrassed.

English first.
