5、l from a friend, how long does it take you to know who it is？【1】 A few seconds, perhaps. The quality of someones voice and their choice of words make a person instantly recognisable， even though you cant see him or her【2】. In this sense everybodys use of languagewhether English, Chinese, or any othe
6、ris different. You could say that there are as many varieties of English, or any other language for that matter， as there are speakers of it.English is spoken as an official language in more than 60 countries across the world and it can sound very different from place to place. Pronunciation, as wel
7、l as grammar and vocabulary, can change very quickly from one area to another. For example, within London the most famous dialect is cockney. It is only usually spoken by people from the east of that city so it is not the only form of English you will hear【3】. You can usually tell which part of the
8、Englishspeaking world someone comes from by their accent, and there are some very recognisable accents all over Britain. It is also quite easy to tell British and American English apart.【4】Although most people believe there is a right and a wrong way to speak English, there is not really a standard
9、form that everyone can agree on.【5】 English spread across the world over hundreds of years because of trade, exploration and business, and this process produced many different Englishes. Professors of linguistics， writers and teachers all worry about providing a perfect model to follow but as it is
10、so widely spoken, it has become impossible to say which English is “correct” and which is “incorrect”. 【6】Perhaps correctness doesnt matteras long as speakers can understand each otherits communication that counts【7】AustraliaGday!

The English speakers found a people who had been living in Australia for more than 50,000 years【11】the Aborigines, and an extraordinary variety of wildlife, unique to the continent. Many of the Aboriginal words for these
13、 animals, such as kangaroo, koala and kookaburra soon passed into the language.【1】When you.a friend是When引导的时间状语从句，主句中含有固定句式：it takes sb.some time to do sth.“某人花多长时间做某事”。who it is为who引导的宾语从句，用陈述语序。instantly adv. 立即，马上recognisable adj. 能辨认的，能认出的【2】even though you.her是even though引导的让步状语从句。in this sense
14、 从这个意义上说for that matter 在那方面，就此而论dialect n. 方言，地方话cockney n. 伦敦东区土话【3】you will hear是定语从句，修饰先行词the only form of English，省略了关系代词that。tell.apart 区分开tell A from B 区分A和Btell the difference (s) between A and B 区分A和B【4】此句中，It是形式主语，真正的主语是动词不定式短语to tell.apart。agree on指“(双方或多方协商后)在方面取得一致意见”。【5】Although在此引导让步状
15、语从句，该从句中的there is.English是believe的宾语。that everyone can agree on是定语从句，修饰先行词form。linguistics n. 语言学【6】本句是由but连接的并列复合句。在第一个分句中，to follow作后置定语，修饰model。在第二个分句中，as it is so widely spoken是as引导的原因状语从句，主句是it has become.“incorrect”，其中it是形式主语，不定式短语to say.“incorrect”是真正的主语。which English is “correct” and which i
16、s “incorrect”是and连接的两个宾语从句，作say的宾语。matter v. 重要，要紧；有关系It doesnt matter if/who/why/what/when/where/that.并不重要。matter a lot/a great deal非常重要as long as只要(引导条件状语从句，也可写作so long as)count v. 很重要；很有价值【7】its.that.是强调句型。or rather 更确切地说(常用作插入语)【8】此处是动词不定式的省略形式。为避免重复，作宾语或谓语的一部分的动词不定式再次出现时，往往省略，只保留动词不定式符号to。【9】se
17、nt there to work是过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰prisoners。trace n. 痕迹，踪迹【10】which is why.patterns是非限制性定语从句，which指代整个主句的内容，并在从句中作主语，why the Australian accent.patterns作表语。people 在这里是“种族”的意思，是可数名词。【11】who had been.years是定语从句，修饰a people。unique adj. 独一无二的；独特的be unique to (对某地、某人、某民族来说是)独特的，特有的pass into融入，纳入，变为其中的一部分lie i
18、n (问题、答案、责任、困难等)在于intonation n. 语调author n. 作家，作者译文助读哪种英语？当你接到一个朋友的电话时，你多久才能知道对方是谁？或许(只要)几秒钟。一个人的音质和措辞都能让这个人立即被认出来，即使你看不见是谁。从这个意义上来说，每个人对语言的使用不管是英语、汉语，还是其他任何语言都是不一样的。你可以这样说，对英语或者任何别的语言而言，有多少使用者，就有多少种变体。英语在全世界六十多个国家被作为官方语言使用，但是各地的英语听起来差别会很大。发音、语法和词汇可能会因地方的不同而有很明显的变化。例如，在伦敦，最有名的方言是伦敦东区土话。通常只有伦敦东部的人说这种
19、方言，因此它不会是你所能听到的唯一一种英语类型。根据口音，你能够分辨出人们来自英语世界的哪个地区，而在英国各地也有一些非常容易辨认的口音。要将英国英语和美国英语区分开也很容易。尽管大多数人认为说英语的方式有正确与错误之分，但是没有一种人人都认同的标准模式。几百年来，由于贸易、探险以及商业的发展，英语已经传播到世界各地，在此过程中产生了许多不同种类的英语。语言学家、作家以及教师都在为提供一种完美的范例而发愁，但是由于英语使用如此之广，所以，说某种英语是正确的而某种英语是错误的已是不可能的了。也许正确与否并不要紧只要说话的人互相明白就行重要的是交流本身。澳大利亚Gday! Dya speak St
20、rine？更确切地说，Hello! Do you speak Australian？澳大利亚是世界上最为年轻的国家之一。第一批说英语的人到达这里也不过是两百多年前的事，而且这也不是他们自愿的。他们中大部分是发配到那里做工的犯人。他们来自英国各地，但主要是来自北爱尔兰以及伦敦区，这也是澳大利亚英语带有爱尔兰和伦敦东区口音的原因。这些讲英语的人发现了土著人一个在澳大利亚生活了五万多年的民族；他们还发现这片土地上有独特的、种类丰富的野生生物物种。土著人关于这些动物的很多词语，比如袋鼠(kangaroo)、树袋熊(koala)以及笑翠鸟(kookaburra)等，很快地融入了英语。但澳大利亚英语和其他
21、几种英语的最主要的区别在于单音和音调模式。有时候英美国家的人很难弄懂澳大利亚口音，所以犯错也就不足为奇了。几年前，一位著名的英国作家在悉尼的一家书店签售他的书。一名顾客手里拿着一本书走上前去，说“Emma Chissit”。这个作家以为Emma Chissit是这位女士的名字。但当他询问如何拼写顾客名字以便她要他在书上签名的时候(献给Emma Chissit，并致敬意)，他突然明白过来顾客问的是：这本书多少钱？牙买加和新加坡澳大利亚英语直接源于英国英语，但是在其他一些将英语作为第一语言的国家情况就不同了。牙买加以及其他加勒比海沿岸国家的英语有非洲语言的一些语法特征，牙买加人的祖辈们使用的是非洲
22、语言，所以他们所使用的英语中通常没有所有格符号s(s) (他们用that woman house而不用that womans house)，也没有系动词和冠词(他们用He good man而不用Hes a good man)。另外一个特点就是节奏。正是说唱音乐的节奏在20世纪80年代在美国流行起来了。而在地球另一端的新加坡，英语作为第二语言被大约一半的人口使用着。新加坡还说马来语以及汉语。在新加坡几乎每一个人都说两种语言，而有些人说三到四种语言。这里最常见的英语变体被称为新加坡式英语。新加坡式英语中句子通常以lah一词结尾。此种语言在语法以及词汇方面尤其受到了马来语以及汉语中一种叫作Hokki
23、en(即客家话，闽南地区使用)的方言的影响。至今，新加坡还有关于哪种英语最好的争论：是新加坡式英语还是一种更接近英式英语的英语。这也是1999年开展的“讲好英语活动”的目的。课文理解Step Fast readingSkim the passage and match each paragraph with its main idea.Para.1AThe features of Jamaican English.Para.2 BThe features of Singlish.Para.3 CHow the Australian English appeared.Para.4 DThe pr
