标准英语不能定义为或描写成“最佳英语”,也不能用来指任何特定的社会团体或阶层使用的语言。我们这里把它定义为“英语的唯一非地域的,全球都通用而不带明显变异的一种方言,在英语教学时它普遍地被认为是恰当的教育目的语,使用它时可以无限制地选择任何口音”。“方言”(dialects)和“口音”(accents)是有区别的:不同的方言有不同的 Standard English can not be defined or portrayed as “best English” nor can it be used to refer to the language used by any particular social group or class. Here we define it as “the only non-geographical dialect of English that is universally applicable without obvious variation in the world. It is universally regarded as the proper educational target in English teaching and can be used without restriction Choose any accent ”.
