The UK and the USA were once referred to by George Bernard Shaw as "two countries divided by a common language". To this day, Brits and Americans continue to misunderstand and confuse each other.
英國和美國曾經被蕭伯納（George Bernard Shaw）稱為“被共同語言分開的兩個國家”。直到今天，英國人和美國人仍然在相互誤解和困惑。
A lot has changed since British explorers brought a funny language called English to the New World over 400 years ago, and the USA is quite proud of the unique accents and identities they've carved out for themselves. The trickiest part is the vocabulary, as some British words came to take on different meanings in the States, while others never made it over the pond to begin with.
400多年前，英國探險家將一種叫做英語的有趣語言帶到了新大陸，自那以後，美國發生了很大的變化。但最棘手的部分是詞彙，因為一些英語單詞在美國開始有了不同的意思，而另一些則一開始就沒有傳播到美國。
下面這些圖，可以直觀地幫助我們瞭解英式英語和美式英語的用詞區別，以後可別弄混啦。
