英国人讨厌听到这些美式英语
13. Does nobody celebrate a birthday anymore, must we all "turn" 12 or 21 or 40? Even the Duke of Edinburgh was universally described as "turning" 90 last month. When did this begin? I quite like the phrase in itself, but it seems to have obliterated all other ways of speaking about birthdays.
难道没人庆祝生日（celebrate a birthday）了吗？我们一定都要“turn”12岁或者21岁或者40岁吗？连爱丁堡公爵过生日也统统说成上个月他“turning”90岁。这是什么时候开始的？我喜欢这个表达本身，但它似乎取代掉其他所有谈论生日的说法了。
14. I caught myself saying "shopping cart" instead of shopping trolley today and was thoroughly disgusted with myself. I've never lived nor been to the US either.
我发现现在自己会说："shopping cart（购物手推车）”而不是shopping trolley ，我非常讨厌这一点。我从没去过美国，也没在美国生活过。
15. What kind of word is "gotten"? It makes me shudder.
"Gotten（get的过去分词，美式用法）"到底是个什么词？它总是让我不寒而栗。
16. "I'm good" for "I'm well". That'll do for a start.
用“I'm good（我很好）”替代“I'm well”。刚开始感觉都可以。
17. "Bangs" for a fringe of the hair.
用"bangs"表示刘海。
18. Take-out rather than takeaway!
说take-out（外卖）而不是takeaway!
19. I enjoy Americanisms. I suspect even some Americans use them in a tongue-in-cheek manner? "That statement was the height of ridiculosity".
19. 我喜欢美式英语。不过我怀疑甚至一些美国人也是虚情假意地在用它们。“这份声明简直是荒谬（ridiculosity）。”
20. "A half hour" instead of "half an hour".
说“a half hour（半小时）”而不是“half an hour”。
21. A "heads up". For example, as in a business meeting. Lets do a "heads up" on this issue. I have never been sure of the meaning.
22. A “heads up（提醒）”。比如，在商业会议上说，Lets do a "heads up" on this issue. 我至今还不知道是什么意思。
Train station. My teeth are on edge every time I hear it. Who started it? Have they been punished?
22. Train station（火车站）。每次听到它，我就很恼火。谁开始用这个词的？他们没有被罚吗？
23. To put a list into alphabetical order is to "alphabetize it" - horrid!
把一张表按照字母顺序排列就是去“alphabetize it”——非常不爽！
24. People that say "my bad" after a mistake. I don't know how anything could be as annoying or lazy as that.
那些在犯错后说“my bad（我的错）”的人，我真不知道事情怎么可以变得如此让人恼火、将惰性体现得淋漓尽致的。
25. "Normalcy" instead of "normality" really irritates me.
用“normalcy（正常状态）”而不是“normality”真的会激怒我。
