Let’s watch a video and think whether the leaders in the US and Britain speak English in the same way.
美音有卷舌音，而英音没有卷舌音。
美音听起来比较圆润，英音听起来比较清晰利索。
元音
字母a在重读音节上，且后面跟随[s] [θ] [m] [∫][n][t∫]时，英音发[a:]，美音[ ]，如fast, half
字母o为在后接一个爆破辅音的重读闭音节中，英音发[ ]，美音近似[a:]音的[ ]，如not, body
字母u和ue在英音中发[ju:],美音发[u:]，如reduce, due, student
辅音
字母r在英音中只在元音前发音，而在美音中在单词的任何位置都发音，特别是在元音字母后时，卷舌，如worker, tour
字母t在两个元音之间，英音发[t]，美音发[d]，如water, letter, waiter, computer
