English should be one of the first foreign languages that each of us comes into contact with for the first time, starting from the simple pronunciation of letters, simple words, sentences, and grammar constitute the basis of English learning. Later, we learned how to write, how to have conversations with others, and how to effectively understand what others are saying when communicating with others. Simultaneous translation into English has always been a gradual process. Shenzhen Translation Center will share with you the learning experience:
When we first learn the pronunciation of English words, we sometimes wonder why some words are pronounced in two waysWhy is every reading correct?Which kind of reading is authentic and used by many people?This brings us to another aspect of the English language, which is the classification of English. The different ways to pronounce words are the classification of pronunciation, and there are two types of classification, one is British English and the other is American English.
When we learn the basics of English, when we enter university, the English of the foreign language department has a more professional and detailed classification: literature, linguistics, translation, etc. This is a classification from the subject of English.
In terms of our daily application fields, there are business English, travel English, medical English, legal English, and so on.
China is a vast country with a large population, and each place speaks with its own accent and dialect of each place. If you make a similar classification according to the accent, then according to the different regions, it can be divided into American English, British English, Malaysian English, Australian English, South African English, Canadian English, New Zealand English, etc., and British English is divided into London and Oxford.
Generally speaking, English was originally a language in linguistics, but now there are two kinds of English, or "British English" (or American English) used in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, etc., and the Republic of South Africa, depending on the countries where it is used and the history, politics, and geography of these countries.
English and American are very different in terms of conversation, writing, pronunciation, etc. Whether it is English or American, even in the same region of the country, there are subtle differences in pronunciation, sentence structure, grammar, conversation, and writing due to differences in the education, social status, occupation, or occasion and environment of the user.
In general, university faculty in the United States or the United Kingdom use "formal English" when teaching academic scholarships**, and when presenting to experts at academic conferences**, they also use formal English or general English. However, if the manuscript is read out in stiff English, it is too rigid and can easily be criticized as if you are reading. Take a professor as an example: the same professor speaks to an audience in a parent-teacher conference or other gathering, or in a variety of social situations, mainly in general English, and sometimes in a cordial or colloquial tone. When you get home, talk to your family in informal or casual English.
