Question

　　Englishmen speak British English and Americans speak American English. A student is learning to speak British English. He often wonders（想知道） “Can Americans understand me when I speak British English?”Learners often ask“What're the differences between British English and American English?”

　　Certainly there are some differences between British and American English. The Englishmen say“Have you a pen?”While Americans say“Do you have a pen?”The pronunciation is sometimes different.

　　Americans often sound“r”s in words like“bird”and“hurt”. But speakers of British don't sound the“r”s in these words. There are differences in spelling. For example,“colour”and“vapour”are British, while“color”and“vapor”are American. These differences in grammar, pronunciation and spelling are not important. For the most important part, British and American English are the same language. When Englishmen and Americans are talking with each other, they don't need any interpreters（翻譯）. Maybe someday, they need. But not now.
