| 藤儿点评:要想在加拿大活得如鱼得水吗? 那么,你来到加拿大,不仅希望你掌握English/French之一,还需要学一丁点儿加拿大方言。下面就是抛砖引玉... -------------------------------- 来源:加西网 2015-10-29 你了解吗?那些专属加国的方言词汇 (加西网综合)大家都知道,加拿大的官方语言有两种:英语和法语。但是,除了这两种官方语言外,加拿大还存在着一种非官方的语言,那就是加拿大方言。
这个其实很好理解,加拿大方言就好比中国官方语言是普通话,而本地方言却有许多种(比如上海话、四川话、湖南话等等)一样。
加拿大不同省份的口音也不同,在BC和AB省的发音有点接近美国人,AB省的人说话总是让人有点听不懂,也许是他们表达的方式不同。安省人的英文更为标准口音,而海洋三省的口音更象"乡下人"口音,那的人都很朴实,实在。
说了这么多,那么问题来了,作为加拿大人的你又知道多少方言呢?
