雖然英式與美式英語有
趨同
現象,但遇到-ward與-ward
s
含有方向或位置的意思時,英式英語一般將-ward與-ward
s
區分為形容詞與副詞,美式英語則一律用-ward。例如:
英式英語:I’ll do my homework
afterwards
。
美式英語:I‘ll do my homework
afterward
。
英式英語:a backward step, a backward child, walking
backwards
美式英語:a backward step, a backward child, walking
backward
此外,inward(s), outward(s), indoor(s), outdoor(s) 也有類似的現象。這樣的句子有助記住英式英語的用法:Outdoor clothes are worn outdoors。 Outdoors尚有名詞用法,詳情宜查閱字典。
Forwards除了用在backwards and forwards(是to and fro的意思)一語之外,其餘很少用到;即使在此語境中,仍然可以將它寫成backward and forward。除了作形容詞與副詞用之外,forward還有動詞用法。
Oversea與oversea
s
比較特別,特別到大可隨意使用,例如可以說寫oversea student, oversea trade, oversea travel,to go oversea,也可以說寫oversea
s
student, oversea
s
trade, oversea
s
travel, to go oversea
s
。但無論如何選用,宜牢記一個原則:凡
兩可
情形涉及
專有名詞
,比如某某海外銀行或海外分公司,必須“
名從主人
”(政治人物或有爭議領地的名稱除外)。
