Most Americans came from somewhere else, American English reflects the accent contributions of many lands『美语包括了各个地区不同的发音』. The speech has become much more exaggerated『夸张的』than British English, developing a strong and distinctive intonation『语调、声调』. If you use this intonation, not only will you be easier to understand, but you will sound much more confident, dynamic『富有活力的』, and persuasive『善于说服的』.

　　The sound of an American speaking a foreign language is very distinctive『与众不同的、有特色的』. For example, in Japanese or Spanish『西班牙语』, the word no is, to our ear, abbreviated『no这个单词听起来很简化(就是/nou/)』. But in American English, it’s different:

　　No /nou/ 　　　　　　　　　　　/no ou/

　　Normal English　　　　　　standard American.
