Differences Between American and British English
By Kenneth Beare While there are certainly many more varieties of English, American English and British English are the two varieties that are taught in most ESL/EFL programs. Generally, it is agreed that no one version is "correct" however, there are certainly preferences in use. The three major differences between between American and British English are: Pronunciation - differences in both vowel and consonants, as well as stress and intonation Vocabulary - differences in nouns and verbs, especially phrasal verb usage Spelling - differences are generally found in certain prefix and suffix forms The most important rule of thumb is to try to be consistent in your usage.

Think in English – 用英英字典就能用英文思考？
文/李政崇 這幾個字都翻譯成「牛」，有什麼不一樣？ Bull Calf Cattle Cow Ox 學英文，或是學任何非中文的語言，用翻譯的方式學久了，一定會發現類似的問題，沒有仔細搞清楚，很容易就會誤用。每一種語言都是一種獨一無二的文化、生活環境，以及獨特的思考方式。而這些時空往往是沒有對應說法，無法翻譯的。 想讓自己的英文更道地，一定得了解英文文化，然後以英文的方式思考。 Bull：「(未閹割過的)公牛」 "an adult male cow" Cow：「母牛；奶牛」 "an animal kept by farmers for its milk or meat. Ox：「去勢公牛，閹牛」 "a bull that has had its testicles removed." Calf：「腓，小腿」 "A young cow. cattle：「牛；牲口，家畜」 "cows and bulls kept by farmers for their milk or meat. 可以發現，雅虎奇摩線上字典以中文的方式來解釋英文單字，雖然比較精簡，不過MED2解釋的方式卻較扎實、詳細，而且還會順便介紹相關的單字與單字間的關係，這種旁徵博引的學習方式，就不是英漢字典可以做到的。 提到英英字典，一定得提到最權威、最經典的Oxford English Dictionary(OED). 一般的英英字典依照規模和難易度，可以粗略分成學習型字典、大學型字典以及中大型字典。 Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary, 8th edition (OALD8)於1948年上市，是最早出版的學習型字典。 Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary, 4th edition (CALD4)出版的時間雖然較晚，但是和牛津字典一樣，都是老牌的權威字典。 Merriam-Webster Advanced Learner's Dictionary, 1st edition (MWALD1)這幾本中唯一的美國出版商，如果常看美式文章，是很好的選擇。 最後我個人推薦的，就是LDOCE5以及MED2，這兩本在書局很容易買到。 英英字典這樣好，但是多數人還是望之卻步。 如果真的有一段時間沒接觸英文了，在使用英英字典之前，也不妨先把這些單字列表拿來複習一下，肯定受益良多。
