Answer 2

When I was 16 years old, I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn’t the first time I had been ABOARD (出国). Like most of English children I learned French at school. And I had often BEEN (到过) to France, so I was used TO SPEAKING (习惯说) a foreign language to people who didn’t understand ENGLISH (英语). But when I went to America I was really looking forward to HAVING （享受） a nice easy holiday without any LANGUAGE (语言沟通) problems.
How wrong I was! The misunderstanding began at the airport. I was looking for a PUBLIC (公共电话) telephone to give my friend Danny a RING (打个电话） and tell her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me LOOKING （貌似） lost and asked IF （是否） he could help me.
“Yes”, I said. “I want to give my friend a ring.”
“Well, that’s NICE（很好）,” he said. “Are you getting MARRIED（结婚）? But aren’t you a bit YOUNG（太年轻）?”
“Who is talking about marriage?” I replied. “I JUST（只） want to give my friend a ring to tell her I’ve arrived. Can you tell me where there’s a phone box?”
“Oh!” he said, “there’s a phone downstairs.”
When at last we DID（终于） meet up, Danny EXPLAINED （解释）the misunderstandings to me.
“Don’t worry,” she said to me, “I had so many DIFFICULTIES （困难）at first. There are lots of words which the Americans USE differently in meaning from US BRITISH（我们英国人）. You'll soon get used to ALL THE（全部） things they say. Most of the time British and American people understand each other!”

我十六岁的时候第一次来到美国。那不是我第一次出国。 像许多英国小孩一样，我在学校学习法语，而且经常去法国，所以我很习惯和那些不说英语的人讲外语。但是我去美国的时候，我真的很想享受一个简单的，没有语言沟通问题的假期。
但是我真错得厉害！误会从机场便开始了。我想找一个公共电话，打给我在美国的朋友丹尼，告诉她我已经到了。一个很友善的老人看我一副迷茫的样子，便问我需不需要帮助。
“要哦”，我回答道：“我想给我朋友打个电话（ring 也有戒指的意思，美国人听起来就是“我要送我的朋友一只戒指”）。”
“哦，真好”，他说道，“你要结婚吗？不过你看起来很年轻啊！”
“我什么时候说要结婚了？”我回答道。“我只想给她打个电话告诉她我到了。你能告诉我哪里有电话亭吗？”
“哦！”他回答道，“楼下就有一个电话。”
当我和丹尼终于见面了，我和她解释我的误会。“别担心”，她告诉我，“我一开始也有很多困难。美国人和英国人很多用词都不一样。你很快就会适应他们说的那些玩意儿了。大多数英国人和美国人还是能够互相理解的！”
