3/6,Day44: Why Do Americans /and Brits Have Different Accents?
In 1776, whether you were declaring America independent / from the crown/ or swearing your loyalty/ to King George III, your pronunciation would have been much the same. At that time, American and British accents /hadn't yet diverged. What's surprising, though, is that Hollywood costume dramas get it all wrong: The Patriots and the Redcoats /spoke with accents /that were much closer/ to the contemporary American accent/ than to the Queen's English.
It is the standard British accent /that has drastically changed /in the past two centuries, while the typical American accent / has changed/ only subtly.

参考译文:
1776年,无论是美国人宣布国家独立或英国人宣誓效忠英王乔治三世,人们的发音都大致相同。当时,美国和英国口音尚未分化。然而,令人惊讶的是,好莱坞古装片都搞错了:爱国者美国兵和英国兵(注:美国独立战争时期英国士兵穿红色军上衣)的发音更接近当代美国口音而不是女王时期的标准英语。
在过去的两个世纪,标准的英国口音已发生巨大变化,而典型的美国口音则只有微妙改变。
