英语词汇american english的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

American English. There are thousands of Americanisms that are different from English expressions, although these have dwindled with the spread of movies, television, and increased foreign travel. A good example of such differences is found in a story about tuna fish. The highest word rate ever paid to a profes- sional author is the $15,000 producer Darryl Zanuck gave Amer- ican novelist James Jones for correcting a line of dialogue in the film The Longest Day. Jones and his wife, Gloria, were sitting on the beach when they changed the line “I can’t eat that bloody old box of tunny fish” to “I can’t stand this damned old tuna fish.” If they had translated box they would have substituted can.
