Hello everyone welcome back to English with Lucy, today I want to talk to you about ten vocabulary differences between American English and British English So,
大家好，欢迎再次收听由露西主持的英语节目。今天我想和大家探讨美式英语和英式英语在词汇使用上的十个主要差异。
Let's get started The first one and
我们开始吧。首先是第一个……
a lot of you might know this
你们中的很多人可能已经知道这件事了。
one is what the British call football
其中一种运动就是英国人所说的“足球”。
and what the Americans call soccer now
以及美国人现在所称的“足球
of course we will understand each other
当然，我们会互相理解的。
can get confusing because Americans have American football which is a completely different game Number two "Chips" and "Crisps" for us crisps are these,
这可能会让人感到困惑，因为美国人有美式橄榄球（American Football），这是一种完全不同的运动。其次，关于“Chips”和“Crisps”的区别：对我们来说，“Crisps”就是指那种薄脆的薯片。
crunchy fried potatoes which usually served called
这种酥脆的炸土豆通常被称为……（原文此处缺少具体名称）。
but the Americans call them "Chips" it's
但是美国人把它们叫做“Chips”。
even more confusing when we get on
当我们真正开始行动时，情况变得更加令人困惑了。
to number three because what Americans call
排在第三位，因为这就是美国人所说的……
"French fries" we then call "Chips" so French fries for Americans and chips for the British are "Hot fried soft potatoes."
我们把“薯条”称为“Chips”。因此，对美国人来说，“French fries”就是“薯条”；而对英国人来说，“French fries”则被称为“Hot fried soft potatoes”（即“热炸的软土豆”）。
These number four, what we call "Trousers," Americans call "Pants."
这些编号为“4”的物品，我们称之为“Trousers”（长裤），而美国人则称其为“Pants”（裤子）。
However, it gets even more confusing because when we gets to number five, what Americans call "Underwear," we call "Pants."
然而，情况变得更加令人困惑了：当我们谈到第五项内容时，美国人称之为“内衣”的东西，在我们这里却被称为“裤子”。
So pants for Americans are trousers, something you wear over your underwear.
对于美国人来说，裤子就是“trousers”——一种穿在内衣外面的外衣。
Number six, "Gas" versus "Petrol."
第六点：“Gas”与“Petrol”的区别。
For us, petrol is the liquid petroleum that you put into your car, and Americans call this gas.
对我们来说，汽油就是那种需要加到汽车里的液态石油；美国人则将这种液体称为“gas”。
Yes, confusing because gas for us only refers to something that is in its gaseous form, something neither a solid nor liquid,
是的，确实令人困惑——因为对我们来说，“gas”（气体）仅指那些处于气态的物质，即既不是固体也不是液体的物质。
a gas.
一种气体。
The next one, "Biscuit" and "Cookie."
下一个例子是“Biscuit”（饼干）和“Cookie”（曲奇）。
For the British, we refer to one of these as a biscuit and Americans call it a cookie Number eight,
对英国人来说，我们把这类食品称为“biscuit”（饼干）；而美国人则称其为“cookie”。
"Trunk" versus "Boot" us the compartment in
Trunk”（后备箱）与“Boot”（行李箱）——请告诉我这两个部分的具体用途或功能。
the back the car is called a boot, which is also a word that can refer to a specific type of shoe,
汽车的后部被称为“后备箱”（boot），这个词也可以用来指某种特定类型的鞋子。
but for Americans it's just trunk Number nine, what we call a "Jumper" Americans will call a "Sweater" so make sure you remember both these ones,
但对美国人来说，这件衣服只是编号为“9”的上衣而已；我们称之为“Jumper”，而美国人则称之为“Sweater”。因此，请务必记住这两个名称。
so this for me is a jumper
所以，对我来说，这就是一件套头毛衣。
but for Americans, it would be a
不过对美国人来说，情况可能会不同……
sweater Number ten, "High school" versus "Secondly
十号毛衣……“高中”与“其次”……
school" in Britain we call the final school that you attend secondary school but in America they call it high school Alright guys,
在英国，我们把学生最后就读的中学称为“school”；而在美国，他们则称之为“high school”。好了，各位。
