我在英格兰东南部长大,那儿典型的中产阶级口音我真的很烦,觉得很无趣。我有来自美国不同地区的朋友,都有不同口音。我看的很多电影、视频和电视节目里都有美国人。我不觉得美式口音像外国口音。
I like the fact that an American is judged more by the words he speaks than the accent with which he speaks them. In Britain politics, theatre and cinema, along with all manner of powerful positions are filled with bumbling toffs talking nonsense with posh, “refined” accents. The only reason many got where they did is because they come from a wealthy or aristocratic background. Success due to background is not limited to the UK, but I always liked the fact that the President of the USA will speak in the same way as most people from the same area, rich or poor. Bill Clinton’s Arkansas southern accent is a modern example of this.
我喜欢人们评判美国人时更多的是看重他们所说的词汇,而不是看重他们的口音。在英国政界、剧院和电影院里,还有所有有权势的人中,都掺杂着很多装模作样的纨绔子弟,操着优雅的、“有教养的”口音胡说八道。很多人能有这种口音只是因为他们来自富裕的或贵族家庭。靠家里获得成功的现象并不仅限于英国,但我总是喜欢美国总统和来自同一地区的大部分人口音一样,包括富人和穷人,比尔·克林顿的阿肯色州南方口音就是当代的一个例子。
