行前准备 1

在WIKIPEDIA和其它网站上研究了老半天,发现到ABERDEEN后我的第一和最大的挑战将是在语言交流方面.虽说苏格兰讲英语,可是ABERDEEN当地人的方言(DORIC)与其它英语方言之差别犹如中国南方各地方言间的差异一样大.举例说明:

Doric -> American English

Fit like? -> A greeting, essentially, "How are you doing?".
Fit? -> "What?".
Fa? -> "Where?".
Aye -> "Yes".
Na' -> "No" (usually, an n sound followed by a vowel constitutes "no").
Wee -> "Little", though this famous Doric word has become common in other areas worldwide nowadays.
Dinnae ken -> Don't know.

God Bless Me!
