Lesson 25
1. A lot of people can’t tell the difference between an American accent and a Canadian accent .许多人分不清美国口音与加拿大口音的区别。
1)tell vt辨别；分辨，判断（常与can, could及be able to连用）
例如：
①It’t difficult to tell her exact age.很难说得出她确切年龄。
②I can’t tell one from the other .我分不清这两者区别。
△ tell the difference(between A and B)说出（A和B之间的）区别，分清（A和B）
The teacher asked me to tell the difference in meaning between “over ”and “above”.
老师要我说出“over”和“above”两个词在词义上的区别。

①Our maths teacher spoke with a strong Zhejiang accent .我们数学老师说话带有浓重的浙江口音。

③The word “woman” has its accent on the first syllable . “woman”这个词，重音在第一个音节。
2.I thought you were from the States. 我还以为你是美国人呢。
此句表示过去认为，而现在说话时已不这么认为了，因此，动词要用过去式。
例如：Hello, Li Lei, I didn’t know you were here, too .
你好，李雷，我不知道你也在这儿。（表示见到李雷之前不知道。）
3.We fill our cars with “gas”, which is American, but we turn on the “tap”, which is British English.
