12、#39;refrns/n.參考；查閱a reference book參考書譯文助讀讓拼寫變得簡單的人在英語中，單詞的拼寫并不總是代表其發音，所以人們讀/rat/，但把它拼成right，或者write，甚至是rite。字母組合(如ough)可能有多種發音方式。一些單詞僅僅是看上去由許多字母組成。對美國人來說，事情(單詞拼寫)就稍微容易些，這多虧了一位叫諾亞·韋伯斯特的人的工作。他是一位教師，于1778年畢業于耶魯大學。他年輕時曾在美國獨立戰爭中與英國人作斗爭。他覺得在新獨立的美國，書面英語應該有獨特的“美國”面貌。因此他開始研究美式英語。他的第一本書基礎拼寫手冊建議簡化英語單詞的拼寫。

13、這本書非常受歡迎。到19世紀50年代，它每年能賣出一百萬冊，這使它成為最受歡迎的教材之一。書中的很多建議很快被采納了：center替代了centre，program替代了programme，flavor替代了flavour。而另外的一些建議，如去掉像island中不發音的字母s和像examine中詞末不發音的字母e，則沒有被采納。韋伯斯特的美式英語詞典為他賺盡了名聲，該詞典于1828年首次出版。它引進了許多新的美式英語單詞，書中有它們的發音和用法，當然，還有新的拼法。英國人批評這本詞典，但它很快成了美國的標準參考書。今天，韋伯斯特的詞典仍是美國學生的首選詞典。課文理解step fast rea
