A student is learning to speak British English. He wonders： Can I communicate（交流）with Americans？ Can they understand me？ Learners of English want to know about the differences between American English and British English. Written English is more or less the same in both Britain and America， though there are some spelling differences. For example， the words colour， center and travelled are spelt color， center， and traveled in American English.
The differences in the spoken language are greater. For example， Americans say tomato［tE’meitEu］ dance ［dAs：］， in southern England they say ［tE’ma:tEu］ ［da:ns］， in America they pronounce not ［nat］ new ［nu：］; in southern England they say［nCt］ ［nju：］。 However， most of the time， people from the two countries can understand each other easily.
How did these differences happen？ We can’t answer this question quickly. When people from England traveled to other countries， they took the English language with them. At first， the language stayed the same as the language used in Britain， but slowly the language to change from one part of the world to another.
Sometimes， the English spoken in America or Canada or Australia changed; but sometimes the language spoken in these places stayed the same， while the language in England changed. For example， 300 years ago， the English talked about “fall”。 Today ， most British people talk about “autumn”。 But Americans still talk about “fall” just as People do in some parts of western England. In the same way Americans use the expression “I guess” （meaning “I think”） just as the British did 300 years ago.

The other day Roy Price went “home” to his sister‘s house. It’s her home now; but it‘s also the house he was born in. Pat， his sister kissed him and said， “You haven’t changed much， Roy. Let me see， now—when did we meet last？”
“Twenty-five years age，” he answered. “I came here for a week， do you remember？” He added， “You haven‘t changed much， either.” It was polite for Roy to say so， but it wasn’t true. Pat seemed almost an old lady.
The next morning Roy walked through the village alone. The place looked very different. There were lots of traffic signs on the roads and beside the roads. There was a new car park， a new post office， a new bus stop. He remembered suddenly that the bus used to stop anywhere： you just put up your hand and it stopped. One surprise followed another. The railway station was gone！ The school was gone; a lot of farm machinery stood in the playground！
But Roy‘s biggest surprise was the people. He didn’t recognize（认出）anybody at all; perhaps because every are seemed old. He went into the post office and bought some stamps. “Where are all the children and young people？” he asked the postmaster.
The old fellow looked up from his book of stamps. “Children？” he said. “They‘ re in school， of course. There are three or four young families here. The children go to school by bus—to Horham.”
Horham was a town about twenty kilometers away.
At lunch Pat said， “The village looks nice， doesn’t it？”
“It‘s all different， Pat. It used to be an exciting place. but now it’s full of old people. I don‘t understand.。.”
“There are a few newcomers， but the ones we knew are still here. You’re not exactly young yourself， Roy， are you？”

Homesick is a compound（复合）word made up of HOME and SICK. You know what each word means on its own， of course. But think about what the words mean when they are used together. Homesick means SICK FOR HOME.
Now think for a minute about. If you change the word home in the definition（释义）to the word sea， would the definition fit SEASICK？ Does seasick mean SICK FOR SEA？ It means something quite different. Seasick means SICK BY THE MOVEMENT ON THE SEA. When you are homesick， the only place you want to be at home. When you are seasick， the last place you want to he is at sea.
Have you ever heard of a person being heartsick？ Heart- sick doesn’t mean that something is wrong with a person‘s heart. People are heartsick when they are hurt deep inside and when they feel as if their hearts are broken.
But， on the other hand， we have such compound words as handshake and handbag. Perhaps you may write definitions for them and knowing something like this must be helpful in your English study.
（ ） 71. The word SEASICK means”____？____“。
A. to want very much to go to the sea
B. what has nothing to do with the sea

D. that the sea is terrible
（ ） 72. When we say a person is heartsick， we mean that____？____.
A. his heart is broken B. his heart needs testing
C. he’s sorry at heart D. he‘s terribly disappointed（失望）and sad

How did these differences happen？ We can’t answer this question quickly. When people from England traveled to other countries， they took the English language with them. At first， the language stayed the same as the language used in Britain， but slowly the language to change from one part of the world to another.
Sometimes， the English spoken in America or Canada or Australia changed; but sometimes the language spoken in these places stayed the same， while the language in England changed. For example， 300 years ago， the English talked about “fall”。 Today ， most British people talk about “autumn”。 But Americans still talk about “fall” just as People do in some parts of western England. In the same way Americans use the expression “I guess” （meaning “I think”） just as the British did 300 years ago.

The other day Roy Price went “home” to his sister‘s house. It’s her home now; but it‘s also the house he was born in. Pat， his sister kissed him and said， “You haven’t changed much， Roy. Let me see， now—when did we meet last？”
“Twenty-five years age，” he answered. “I came here for a week， do you remember？” He added， “You haven‘t changed much， either.” It was polite for Roy to say so， but it wasn’t true. Pat seemed almost an old lady.
The next morning Roy walked through the village alone. The place looked very different. There were lots of traffic signs on the roads and beside the roads. There was a new car park， a new post office， a new bus stop. He remembered suddenly that the bus used to stop anywhere： you just put up your hand and it stopped. One surprise followed another. The railway station was gone！ The school was gone; a lot of farm machinery stood in the playground！
But Roy‘s biggest surprise was the people. He didn’t recognize（认出）anybody at all; perhaps because every are seemed old. He went into the post office and bought some stamps. “Where are all the children and young people？” he asked the postmaster.
The old fellow looked up from his book of stamps. “Children？” he said. “They‘ re in school， of course. There are three or four young families here. The children go to school by bus—to Horham.”
Horham was a town about twenty kilometers away.
At lunch Pat said， “The village looks nice， doesn’t it？”
“It‘s all different， Pat. It used to be an exciting place. but now it’s full of old people. I don‘t understand.。.”

Homesick is a compound（复合）word made up of HOME and SICK. You know what each word means on its own， of course. But think about what the words mean when they are used together. Homesick means SICK FOR HOME.
Now think for a minute about. If you change the word home in the definition（释义）to the word sea， would the definition fit SEASICK？ Does seasick mean SICK FOR SEA？ It means something quite different. Seasick means SICK BY THE MOVEMENT ON THE SEA. When you are homesick， the only place you want to be at home. When you are seasick， the last place you want to he is at sea.
