听力原文：M: British English and American English are really about the same, aren't they? W: I don't think so. It seems to the that some of the spellings are different. Words like theater and center end in r-e in England instead of in e-r like we spell them. There are more, examples like the word color. In fact, many words which end in o-r in American English are spelled o - u - r in British English. M: I'm still not convinced. I mean, if someone comes here from England, we can all understand what he's saying. The spelling, doesn't really matter that much. W: Okay. Are we just talking about spelling? Arc there some differences in pronunciation and meaning too? M: Well, in fact I remember seeing an English movie where the actors kept calling their apartment a flat. Half of the movie was over before I realized what they were talking about. So there are slight differences in spelling and some vocabulary. W: And pronunciation, too. You aren't going to tell me that you sound like Richard Burton. M: Richard Barton isn't English. W: Okay. Anyway, the pronunciation is different. I think that what we are really disagreeing about is the extent of the difference．We all agree that British English and American English are different，right' M：Sure． (26)
