英式英语和美式英语：相同表达中措词的区别
<p>英语小测验 英式英语和美式英语：相同表达中措词的区别具有相同含义的英语表达在英式和美式英语中措词可能有所不同。比如，“像家里一样舒适的地方”的英式表达是 <span word="a">a</span> <span word="home">home</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="home">home</span>，而美式英语里写成 <span word="a">a</span> <span word="home">home</span> <span word="away">away</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="home">home</span>；当英国人祈求好运时说“<span word="touch">touch</span> <span word="wood">wood</span> 摸木头”，而美国人则说“<span word="knock">knock</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="wood">wood</span> 敲木头”。两种英语分支同大于异，然而为避免误会，最好分清二者的区别。试做六道小题，学习英式英语和美式英语的同义表达中措词的差别。</p><p>1. <span word="An">An</span> <span word="American">American</span> <span word="English">English</span> <span
