题目内容
17.Once a New Zealand teacher asked where I live."In the white building,"I answered."At our university both girls and boys live in the same dormitory."I added.
Beyond my expectation(出乎意料),however,my attempt(努力)to show I am speaking American English(AE) turned out to be something else.The New Zealander seemed very puzzled at my answer.
With a half smile,she asked,"Really?Do they live in the same room?"
"Oh,no.They live in different rooms but in the same building."I reacted(反应)quickly.
Later I got to know the word"dormitory".In AE it means one building,whereas(而,却)it means one room in British English(BE).
The New Zealander misunderstood me because she spoke New Zealander English(NE),which,as we know,is much related to BE.
Nowadays,not a few English learners,who try to catch up with the fashion(时髦),choose to speak AE.
Yet,the problem is that they cannot speak pure AE,but half AE and half BE instead.
I think it necessary to keep one style in order to avoid(避免)misunderstanding.
