Translation of Lesson 2 [We Speak Different English].
Ben: Hi, Sally! Sally: Hello, Ben! Ben: Oh, yes, that's right! You speak English? "Hello, isn't it? Hi ". It slipped my mind. Sally: in fact, many British people say? Hello. We watch American TV. I don't think people in America say? Hello, isn't it? Ben: no, most people just say? Hi ",right? Hello "sounds very formal. Sally: OK, let's become English and talk to each other? Hello, for a change. Ben: OK, Sally! Sally:? OK "is not English. In England, we say? All right. Ben: That's not true. People all over the world say yes! Even France agreed. Sally: Well, yes, it's true. But? Okay, now? Appropriate English. Ben: This is Old English. But okay, I mean okay. I'll try. But will anyone understand me? Sally: Yes, of course they will. Oh, look, this is Tony. He comes from Australia. I wonder if he said anything. "Or how are you? Hi ". Ben: Hi, Tony! Sally: Hello, Tony! Tony: Hello! You two! Sally: Oh, no! He speaks Australian English.
