8、people this time.lift英式英语和美式英语之笑话Trousers/Pants：当刚从美国回来的英国小伙子赞美英国mm“Nice Pants”，这时，杯具发生了。MM还以为他长了透视眼呢Trousers，Pants这两个单词的用法应特别留意。Pants在英国指内裤，但在美国却是长裤。在英国，长裤为 trousers。所以，当一位外国人说Pants的时候，你要弄清楚他究竟是英国人还是美国人，不要把内裤变成了长裤哦。Lift/Elevator：一个美国人在英国，问：“How can I get to 20th floor?”英国人说：“Take a lift.”美国人就疯了：“Ok
9、,but who can be so strong to lift me to 20th floor?”在英国，如果你不想爬楼梯，你可以搭lift。如果你在美国的话，你就只好搭elevator了，没有人会把你抬上去的哦！Petrol/Gas：英国小伙子到了美国搭车，说：“Can I ride to New York?”美国人很热情，说：“Sure,my car has full tank of gas.”英国小伙子一听害怕了：“Well,no,thank you.I still want to live.”在这里，英式英语中汽油是“Petrol”而Gas是“煤气、瓦斯”的意思，怪不得英国小伙子害怕呢，他可不想坐上马上就要爆炸的“亡命之车”啊！Film/Movie：film是英式英语，除了电影外，还有picture/photo的意思。同时film也表示“胶卷”就是音译的菲林 movie，是美式英语，只表示电影，不能表示照片、图片等。去看电影可以用 go to the movie(美）或者 go to the cinema(英），但绝不能用go to the film，不然也会闹笑话的。
