我们都知道英语发音可以分为英式英语和美式英语两种，但英国人和美国人在语言上不光是口音不同，在某些单词上面，两个国家的人的理解也是大相径庭，下面跟着皮卡丘一起认识这些单词的两面性吧！
1、Pants
Don't ask a British person about their pants. You'll get a very funny look, and maybe even a slap round the face.
绝对不要和一个英国人讨论他/她的pants，因为你极有可能看到一个大写的尴尬，甚至会有迎面而来的巴掌......
You may ask “why”, because you'll be inquiring about their underwear and not their trousers.
你可能会问：“为什么呢？”。因为你可能会被认为你在谈论他们的内裤，而不是裤子。
People say it in Britain:"When you get dressed you put your pants on first, then your trousers."
在英国，人们经常这么说：“当你穿衣服的时候，你先穿你的pants，然后才能穿你的裤子。”
2、Purse
大家想想什么是purse，而什么又是wallet 呢？
In the UK, a purse is a wallet, which is kept in a handbag. As opposed to the American way, where a wallet is kept in a purse.
在英国，purse等于wallet，是放在手提包里的；而在美国呢，刚好相反，purse是说钱包，而wallet指的是里面的钱夹。
People say it in Britain:"I keep all my changes and credit cards in my purse."
人们在英国会这么说：“我把我所有的零钱和银行卡都放在我的purse里。”
3、Camp
说到这个词，大家浮现的画面感肯定是一个个帐篷。
但是在英国camp还有另外一种意思：
Camp is also a very British way of saying something or someone is deliberately exaggerated or theatrical, according to Oxford English dictionary.
其实呢，camp在英国还可以指某一个人刻意夸张地去说一件事或一个人。
People say it in Britain:"He ended every performance with a camp flourish."
人们在英国会这么说：“他以一种华丽的夸张的形式结束了他的表演。”
4、Trainer
想必老师们都跟大家说了英文单词中-er后缀，一般可以指某个职业的人，但是这个trainer就不是了哦！
If a British starts talking to you about their trainers, they're not discussing the people who make them sweat at the gym.
They're talking about their sneakers. A British might also call a pair of sneakers a pair of"pumps."
So，如果英国佬在和你说trainers，人家不是说虐了他/她千百遍的教练，而是说他的运动鞋呢！
People say it in Britain:"I'm going for a run tonight, so I've packed my trainers."
人们在英国这么说：“我今天晚上要去跑步，所以我装上了我的运动鞋。”
5、Boot
说到boot，大家肯定想的是靴子~在英国不是哦！
In America, a boot is a type of footwear. In the UK, the boot refers to the trunk of a car.
Thus，这里的boot指的车的后备箱。
