  Over the past 400 years, the form of the language used in the United States – and that used in the United Kingdom and the rest of the British Isles 2 have diverged 3 in many ways, leading to the dialects now commonly referred to as American English and British English. Differences between the two include pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, spelling, punctuation 4, idioms, formatting 5 of dates and numbers, and so on. A small number of words have completely different meanings between the two dialects or are even unknown or not used in one of the dialects.
  过去的四百年间,美国、英联邦以及不列颠群岛使用的语言都在不断地发生变化,最终演变成了英式英语和美式英语。两种英语在音标、语法、词汇、拼写、标点、谚语、日期和数字的形式等等许多方面都有不同。有一小部分词在两种英语中有着完全不同的意思,有些甚至在另外一种英文中不会使用。
  This divergence 6 between American English and British English once caused George Bernard Shaw to say that the United States and United Kingdom are "two countries divided by a common language"; a similar comment is ascribed to Winston Churchill. Likewise, Oscar Wilde wrote, "We have really everything in common with America nowadays, except, of course, the language."
  美式英语和英式英语之间甚至让萧伯纳产生了“英美两国是被同一种语言分开了”的感慨。丘吉尔也发出了类似的感叹。王尔德也写到:“现如今除了语言,我们与美国有许多相似之处。”
