2.Read the new words again and again.Lift An American visiting England walked into a hotel lobby and pushed a button for elevator service．“The lift will be down presently，”said a nearby clerk． “The lift？”said the American．“Oh，you mean the elevator．” “No，I mean the lift，”replied the Englishman，annoyed by the American' s arrogance． “I think I should know what it's called，” said the American．“After all，elevators were invented in the United States．” “Perhaps，”retorted the Englishman．“But the language was invented here．” 电 梯 一位在英国访问的美国人走进酒店大堂，揿下电梯按钮。身旁一位酒店工作人员说道，“Lift马上就下来。” “Lift？”美国人问。“哦，你说的是elevator吧。” 美国人的傲慢使英国人感到讨厌，他回答说，“不，我说的是lift。” “我想我知道它叫什么，”美国人说。“不管怎么说，电梯是在美国发明的。” “那可能，”英国人反驳说。“但这种语言是在这个国家发明的。”
已有太多的游记叙述过英语与美语的差异，以及所造成的误会或笑话。然而，听归听、读归读，惟有回忆自己的亲身经历，才能会心一笑。 ???来英国之前，只知道英语的万国音标对苹果的发音是“阿婆”；相对的，美语的KK音标则应为“耶婆”。当初，只认定这差异应如同四川话的重庆腔或成都腔的不同，应该是相通的才是。哪知，差异并不只是如此。 ?? 记得当我们由伦敦国际机场走出海关时，已是万家灯火。由于哥哥要第二天才来接我们，便在先前预订的机场旅馆暂宿一夜。这一夜，为我这一年的“美语在英国”的趣拉开了序幕。 ?? 这家旅社没有四星级以上的排场，却收费不低。在柜台登记之后，等了一会儿，仍不见服务员来帮我们搬运整整八大皮箱的行李。我于是问柜台小姐有没有cart？小姐们经验丰富，告诉我手推车的英语是trolley，不是cart。 于是，我们高高兴兴地推着trolley走进电梯，按third floor的按钮前往房间，却来到一排都是“４”开头的房间。猛然想到几年前去香港的经验：大厦的一楼称为ground floor(地面层)，二楼才称first floor(第一层)。香港当时还没回归，那么，英国旅社的343号房间自然是在second floor(第二层)了。 记得在上高英语课时，老师便曾指英语与美语的这点差别。就如大多数人一样，我也只当它是两国习惯不同罢了。一直到了我们第二次在伦敦街上闲逛时，才恍然大悟。原来，伦敦大多数四五层且有岁月的大楼，其“地上楼”高出地面约一公尺，好让“地上室”的窗户能露出地面。不仅如此，“地下室”外墙并不紧靠泥土，而是保留有两公尺左右的空隙。因此，虽说是“地下室”，却也有独立的门和窗。很高兴地，我终于发现了英国人为何会称第一层为ground floor的真正原因了。
???在伦敦的另一个趣事，发生在寻地铁时。我们第一次去伦敦时，依照朋友的建议，将车子停在伦敦外围，然后改搭地铁进城。在停妥车子后，便请教迎面缓步而来的一位英国老绅士，问他最近的subway如何走。老先生顺手一指，前面不远处就有一个subway的小牌子。我们庆幸自己运气不错，能找到离地铁这么近的地方停车。想着走，哪知走完了subway，却是到了街道的另一边，哪里有地铁的影子！折腾了半天，才知道伦敦的地铁叫做underground，而subway则是地下道。这两字的用法刚好与纽约相反。 经过两百年的分离，以及与多国移民的交互影响，美语自会发展出许多不同于英语的用法。这些差异是说不完、道不尽的。诸如：美国人讲的car trunk(汽车行李箱)在英国叫做car boot，而美国的flea market(跳蚤市场)在英国则称作 car boot sale；又如美语称糖果为candy，英语则说 sweet；让人搭便车，美语说give ride，英语则说give lift；至于电话忙音，美语说“The Line is busy”，而英语则说“The line is engaged”。 入境随俗容易得当地人的好感，进而结交到朋友。但更重要的，是可以避免尴尬。我最糟糕的一次经验，现在想来还感到脸红。那是发生在送小梦上学的路上，我们遇见了她同学的妈妈。她带着的刚学步的小妹妹，有一对湛蓝的大眼睛和一头闪亮的金发。我称赞道：“How cute!”没想到这位英国妈妈竟然没什么反应。类似情形发生了几次，我才开始注意别人的用词都是“How lovely!”在请教英国友人之后，才知道美国称赞小孩聪明可爱的cute，搬到英国却锐利刁钻的意思。 想到自己竟然当着人家妈妈的面，说她的心肝宝贝“锐利刁钻”，真是难为情。
