One
of
the
most
startling
surprises
for
many
Americans
when
they
first
arrive
in
Britain
is
the
discovery
that
their
mother
tongue,
which
has
been
serving
them
faithfully
all
these
years,
is
suddenly not up to dealing with the intricacies of the English language as practiced in the British
Isles.
对于第一次到英国的许 多美国人而言，
最让他们惊讶的事情之一就是发生在他们尽心使用了
多年的母语语言上的变化。
面对在大不列颠岛上使用的英国语言的纷繁复杂，
他们却突然变
得难以应对。


It is an unsettling experience to arrive in the UK and find oneself uttering vocal noises
—
speech is
probably
too
strong
a
word
for
it
—
that
are
received
nearly
everywhere
as
at
best
quaint
and
imprecise, at worst as misleading and noisy.

到了英国之后，你会发现无论在何处，在人 们听来，自己口中制造的声音（称之为“语言”
真是太抬举它了）说好听点，是奇特的，不准确的；说难 听点，则是又让人摸不着头脑又鸹
噪的。

我不自在地回答，心里有些虚，感觉就像被人逼着顽固到底似的．


The British, you see, have always taken a quiet
—
sometimes practically unwitting
—

pleasure in
perplexing foreigners, as anyone who has ever tried to follow a cricket match will know.
你知道，
英国人总是在迷惑外国人的过程中暗自取乐——有时是无意的
,
要是你曾经试图听
懂板球比赛的讲解，就会体会到这一点。




They started calling the upstairs floor the first floor rather than the second floor, thus ensuring that

North American visitors would spend long, bewildered hours hunting for their hotel room.
首先，
他们称底层的楼上为一楼而不是二楼，
如此保证了北美来的游客得摸上长时间才能找
到饭店房间。



Then, to make sure that our confusion was complete they took to doing odd and unexpected things
with
their
vowels
and
consonants,
lopping
whole
syllabus
off
words
like
library
and
necessary,
dispensing with r
’
s in a whimsical and inconsistent way, and speaking sometimes without moving
their lips and sometimes through their nasal passengers .
然后，
为了让我们迷糊得更彻底，
他们开始用你怎么也料不到的奇怪方式来对付他们的元音
和辅音，
比如：
把
“
library
”
和
“
necessary
”
中的整个音节砍掉
（发成
“
lib ree
”
和
“
nessasree
”
）
，
或者莫名其妙地吞掉了“
r
”

音，或者说话时要么不动嘴唇，要么只用鼻腔哼哼。


This
studied
ambiguity
—
what
we
might
call
a
flight
from
literalness
—
remains
a
characteristic
feature of English discourse.
这种刻意的模糊其辞——我们称之为文字上的回避——至今仍是英式语言的一个特征。

—




sometimes practically unwitting

pleasure
in perplexing foreigners.
你知道，英国人总是在迷惑外国人的过程中暗自取乐——有时是无意的。


But in fact many, perhaps most, of the distinguishing characteristics of British English date only
from the late 1700s and early 1800s.
但实际上许多甚至大多数英式英语中的显著特征始自
18
世纪晚期到
19世纪早期。


Then, to make sure that our confusion was complete, they took to doing odd ad unexpected thing
with their vowels and consonants.



然后，
为了让我们迷糊得更彻底，
他们开始用你怎么也料不到的奇怪方式来对付他们的元音
和辅音。


“
Bob
’
s your uncle
”

’
t hesitate to drop by.
