篇1：美式英语雷区
8.two-time, three-time
英国人吐槽：The phrase I've watched seep into thelanguage (especially with broadcasters) is “two-time” and“three-time”. Have the words double, triple etc, been totally lost?Grammatically it makes no sense, and is even worse when spoken. My pulse risesevery time I hear or see it - which is not healthy as it's almost every daynow. Argh!
我经历过的渗透到英语里的美式短语(特别是播音员使用的)是“two-time(两倍)”和“three-time(三倍)”。难道double啊triple啊这些词都彻底消失了么?从语法上来说，这根本不合理，而用在口语中就更糟糕了。每次听到或者看到它我就心跳加速。这是不健康的，因为现在几乎每天都要来上一次。唉!
英式表达：double, triple
9.24/7
英国人吐槽：Using 24/7 rather than “24 hours, 7days a week” or even just plain “all day, every day”.
不用“24 hours, 7 days a week”，也不用简单直接的“all day, every day”来表达“全天候”，非要用24/7。
英式表达：all day, every day
10.a million and a half
英国人吐槽：The most annoying Americanism is “amillion and a half” when it is clearly one and a half million! A millionand a half is 1,000,000.5 where one and a half million is 1,500,000.
最让人恼火的美式英语是“a million and a half”，正确的说法明明是one and a half million. A million and a half是1000000.5，one and a half million是1500000。
英式表达：one and a half million
注：关于half的用法，美式英语说“a half hour(半小时)”而不是“half an hour”也让英国人很不爽，大家要注意呀!
11.my bad
英国人吐槽：People that say “my bad” after amistake. I don't know how anything could be as annoying or lazy as that.
那些在犯错后说“my bad(我的错)”的人，我真不知道还有什么事能让人这么恼火、将懒惰体现得这么淋漓尽致。
英式表达：That's my fault.
12.That'll learn you.
英国人吐槽：I am increasingly hearing the phrase“that'll learn you” - when the English (and more correct) version wasalways “that'll teach you”. What a ridiculous phrase!
我越来越经常听到人说“that'll learn you(这是给你的教训。) ”―明明英语(而且也是更加正确)的说法是“that'll teach you”.“That'll learn you”什么的简直荒谬到家了!
英式表达：That'll teach you.
13.Where's it at?
英国人吐槽：I really hate the phrase “where's itat?” This is not more efficient or informative than “where isit?” It just sounds grotesque and is immensely irritating.
我真的很讨厌“where's it at? (XXX在哪儿?)”这个短语。它又不比“where is it?”更有效率或是含有更多信息，听起来很怪，而且非常惹人厌。
英式表达：Where's it?
14.train station
英国人吐槽：Train station. My teeth are on edge everytime I hear it. Who started it? Have they been punished?
Trainstation(火车站)。每次听到它，我就很恼火。谁最先开始用这个词的?那些人没有被罚吗?
英式表达：railway station
15.shopping cart
英国人吐槽：I caught myself saying “shoppingcart” instead of shopping trolley today and was thoroughly disgusted withmyself. I've never lived nor been to theUSeither.
我发现自己今天说了“shopping cart(购物手推车)”而不是shopping trolley，自我厌恶到了极点。我从没去过美国，也没在美国生活过。
英式表达：shopping trolley

篇6：美式英语散文朗诵
辉煌壮丽的暴风雨
glories of the storm
辉煌壮丽的暴风雨
it begins when a feeling of stillness creeps into my consciousness. every thing has suddenly gone quiet. birds do not chirp. leaves do not rustle. insects do not sing.
起初，有一种平静的感觉悄悄袭上我的心头。刹那间，万物都突然寂静无声。鸟儿不在啁啾，树叶不再沙沙作响，昆虫也停止了欢唱。
the air that has been hot all day becomes heavy. it hangs over the trees, presses the heads of the flowers to the ground, sits on my shoulders. with a vague feeling of uneasiness i move to the window. there, in the west, lies the answer - cloud has piled on cloud to form a ridge of mammoth while towers, rearing against blue sky.
整日闷热的空气变得格外呆滞，它笼罩着树木，逼得花朵垂向地面，也压得我的肩头沉甸甸的。我怀着隐隐约约的烦躁不安，信步走到窗前，原来答案就在西边天际，云层重重叠叠，就像一排嵯峨的白塔，高耸在蓝天之上。
their piercing whiteness is of brief duration. soon the marshmallow rims flatten to anvil tops, and the clouds reveal their darker nature. they impose themselves before the late-afternoon sun, and the day darkens early. then a gust of wind ships the dust along the road, chill warning of what is to come.
云彩那耀眼的白色转瞬便消失了。顷刻间，棉花糖状的云彼岸变得像铁砧一样平展，云层也露出了阴暗的本来面目。它强行遮住西斜的太阳，使天色早早就黑了下来。接着，劲风骤起，一路卷起尘土飞扬。冷嗖嗖的，预示着即将来临的一切。
in the house a door shuts with a bang, curtains billow into the room. i rush to close the windows, empty the clothesline, secure the patio furnishings. thunder begins to grumble in the distance.
砰的一声，风关上了一扇房门。窗帘也随风扬起，向屋内翻卷着。我急忙跑上去关上窗户，收下晾晒的衣服，安顿好露台上的家什。远处开始响起隆隆的雷声。
the first drops of rain are huge. they splat into the dust and imprint the windows with individual signatures. they plink on the vent pipe and plunk on the patio roof. leaves shudder under their weight before rebounding, and sidewalk wears a coat of shiny spots.
最初落下来的是大颗大颗的水珠，扑扑地打在尘土里。在玻璃窗是留下了一个个印记。雨点把排气管敲得叮叮当当，把露台顶棚打得噼噼啪啪，树叶被砸得瑟瑟发抖，难以抬头。人行道披上了一层亮闪闪的水点。
the rhythm accelerates; plink follows plunk faster and faster until the sound is a roll of drums and the individual drops become an army marching over fields and rooftops. now the first bolt of lightning stabs the earth. it is heaven’s exclamation point. the storm is here!
雨加快了节奏，叮叮当当紧跟着噼噼啪啪，一阵紧似一阵，终于连成一片紧密的鼓点，颗颗雨滴也汇集成一支行进在田野和屋顶的大军。这时，第一道闪电刺向大地，这是老天划的惊叹号。暴风雨来了。
