English is spoken by people in many places. It began in England but spread as the British people left their country and made new homes. Now, English is the language spoken by most people in countries like Canada, America and Australia.
譯文：很多地方的人們都說英語。英語起源于英格蘭，但是英國(guó)人在其他地方定居時(shí)，傳播了英語�，F(xiàn)在，在加拿大、美國(guó)和澳大利亞這樣的國(guó)家，大多數(shù)人都說英語。
After many years, the English language began to change. The changes were mainly expressions and spellings. Sometimes different people use different words to mean the same thing. People in England say "underground" while people in America say "subway". In America an elevator starts on the first floor, but in Britain it starts on the ground floor.
很多年后，英語開始發(fā)生改變。發(fā)生變化的主要是表達(dá)和拼寫。有時(shí)候，不同的人用不同的單詞來表達(dá)同一個(gè)意思。英國(guó)人用“underground”來表示地鐵，而美國(guó)人卻用“subway”。美國(guó)電梯的第一層叫“first floor”，而英國(guó)人則用“ground floor”。
"Colour" and "centre" are British spellings while "color" and "center" are American spellings for the same words. Pronunciation of words and ways of speaking have changed as well. It is possible to tell whether a person is American or British by listening to his or her speech.
同一個(gè)單詞，“colour（顏色）”和“centre（中心）”是英國(guó)人的拼寫方法，而“color”和“center”是美國(guó)人的拼寫方法。單詞的發(fā)音和說話方式也發(fā)生了改變。聽一個(gè)人說話就可以判斷他/她是美國(guó)人還是英國(guó)人。
