Although they both speak English, there are many expressions that differ (相异) between the cultures. For example, sometimes you are just not want to go out with friends. In the US you might say you don’t want to do that activity, but in the UK you would say, “I can’t be asked.” Maybe you feel a little anxious (焦虑). In the US, you might say you are nervous, but in the UK, you could say you are “having kittens”. If people in the UK are under pressure, they might say they are “under the cosh”. Many English speakers are often confused about the meanings of these expressions. Stephanie Stone, an American, thinks about her experience studying in the UK, “People would ask, ‘You all right?’ For months I thought I looked bad until I realized it just meant ‘How’s it going?’” If you want to know more about US and UK expressions, you’d better have a butcher’s hook at some books. It can be quite interesting to find the same expression in your own language. ( )1. What would you say in America if you don’t want to go out with friends? [A] I can’t be asked.

These pictures often show what each country finds important. They are like small lessons in culture, history and nature. Paper money isn’t just for spending — it’s also for learning.
