It is really important to know the difference between American and British English. Sometimes, one word can have completely different meanings in the USA and the UK. For example, the word “rubber” in America is a slang term for a condom; in England, it has a much more innocent connotation: it’s simply the name given to a pencil eraser.

了解美式英语和英式英语之间的区别真的很重要。 有时，一个单词在美国和英国可能具有完全不同的含义。 例如，在美国，“rubber”一词是避孕套的意思。 而在英国，它的含义刚比较纯洁：就是橡皮。

Telling a British person that his pants got dirty could elicit some raised eyebrows. In America, of course, pants are clothing that covers you from your waist to your ankles. However, in England, the term “pants” is another word for “underwear.”

告诉一个英国人他的裤子脏了，可能会让人感到疑惑。在美国，裤子是指覆盖着从腰部到脚踝部分的衣服。但是，在英国，“pants”一词则是“内衣”的另一种说法。

In America, the term “jumper” refers to a person who’s trying to commit suicide. In Great Britain, the word “jumper” is the name given to a knitted top, or, as it’s called in America: a sweater.

在美国，“jumper”一词是指试图自杀的人。在英国，“jumper”则是指针织上衣，也就是美国所说的毛衣。

In the UK, a bum is a butt. In the US, a bum is often a homeless person.

"Dummy" may sound nice but in the USA it means an idiot. In the UK though, it means is a baby’s pacifier.

“Dummy”听起来不错，但是在美国，它意味着白痴。 而在英国，则指婴儿的奶嘴。

In the USA, to be pissed is to be angry. If a British person tells you they're pissed, they're drunk.

Who is a hooker? In American English, the term "hooker" refers to a prostitute. In British English, it is a specific position of a rugby player.

In America, braces are used to straighten your teeth. In Great Britain, it is a pair of straps that hold up trousers, which are attached to the waist of the trousers and stretch over your shoulder

在美国，braces（牙套）用于拉直牙齿。 在英国，braces则是一条绑住裤子上的背带，用于连接裤子的腰部及肩膀部分。

"Fancy" as an adjective means posh, flashy. But if you use it as a verb in British English it is totally different: to fancy someone means to like someone.

“Fancy”作为形容词意味豪华，浮华。 但是，如果将其用作英式英语中的动词，则完全不同：Fancy某人就意味着喜欢某人。

In the United States, a bird is, well, an animal with feathers that tweets. In England, however, a bird is often used to describe a young female, similar to the way young women are referred to as “chicks” in the America.
