20160328新概:Do theEnglish speak English?英国人讲的是英语吗?
I arrived in London at last. The railway station was big, black and dark. I did not know
the way to my hotel, so I asked a porter. I not only spoke English very carefully, but very
clearly as well. The porter, however, could not understand me. I repeated my question
several times and at last he understood. he answered me, but he spoke neither slowly nor
clearly.'I am a foreigner,' I said. Then he spoke slowly, but I could not understandhim. My
teachernever spoke English like that! The porter and I looked at each other and smiled.
Then he said something and I understood it. 'You'll soon learn English!' he said. I wonder.
In England, each person speaks a different language. The English understand each other,
but I don't understand them! Do they speak English?
