<p>今天跟大家分享英语(课程)学习中最重要的法则之一【常见英式拼写与美式拼写的区别】。一共9条，一一道来!</p><p> 1) 英国英语单词中不发音的词尾 -<span word="me">me</span>, -<span word="ue">ue</span>在 美 国 英 语 拼 写 中 被 删 除 。 如 : <span word="kilogramme">kilogramme</span>/<span word="kilogram">kilogram</span> ( 公斤), <span word="programme">programme</span>/<span word="program">program</span> ( 方案), <span word="catalogue">catalogue</span>/<span word="catalog">catalog</span>(目录)等。</p><p> 2) 英国英语中的以 -<span word="our">our</span> 结尾的单词, 在美国英语中删去了不发音的字母 <span word="u">u</span>。如: <span word="behaviour">behaviour</span>/<span word="behavior">behavior</span>( 举止、行为), <span word="discolour">discolour</span>/<span word="discolor">discolor</span>( 褪色), <span word="labour">labour</span>/<span word="labor">labor</span>(劳动)等。</p><p> 3) 英国英语拼写字母 <span word="ae">ae</span> 或 <span word="oe">oe</span>, 在美国英语中仅留发音元音 <span word="e">e</span>。如: <span word="anaemia">anaemia</span>/<span word="anemia">anemia</span>( 贫血症),<span word="aeon">aeon</span>/<span word="eon">eon</span>(永世), <span word="aesthetic">aesthetic</span>/<span word="esthetic">esthetic</span>(美学的)等。</p><p> 4) 英国英语拼写字母 -<span word="ll">ll</span>-, 在美国英语只写-<span word="l">l</span>-。如: <span word="chilli">chilli</span>/<span word="chili">chili</span>(干辣椒), <span word="dialling">dialling</span>/<span word="dialing">dialing</span>(电话拨码), <span word="leveller">leveller</span>/<span word="leveler">leveler</span>(水平测量员)等。但是, 也有一些相反的例子, 如美国英语中的 <span word="appall">appall</span>、<span word="instill">instill</span>, <span word="distill">distill</span>、<span word="installment">installment</span>、<span word="willful">willful</span> 等在英国英语中往往只有单写 <span word="l">l</span>。而 <span word="distillery">distillery</span>、<span word="installation">installation</span>、<span word="propeller">propeller</span> 等词的拼法则在英国英语和美国英语中是相同的。</p><p> 5) 英国英语词尾是辅音字母加 -<span word="e">e</span>, 而美国英语词尾是辅音字母。如: <span word="axe">axe</span>/<span word="ax">ax</span>( 斧), <span word="blonde">blonde</span>/<span word="blond">blond</span>(亚麻色的)等。</p><p> 6) 英国英语用 -<span word="eable">eable</span>、-<span word="ement">ement</span>, 美国英语用-<span word="able">able</span>、-<span word="ment">ment</span>。如 <span word="likeable">likeable</span>/<span word="likable">likable</span> ( 讨人喜欢的), <span word="loveable">loveable</span>/<span word="lovable">lovable</span>( 可爱的), <span word="judgement">judgement</span>/<span word="judgment">judgment</span>( 审判), <span word="acknowledgement">acknowledgement</span>/<span word="acknowledgment">acknowledgment</span>(承认)等。</p>
