相信大家已经大概看出来这两个单词的区别了。因为有英式英语和美式英语的存在,所以很多单词在拼写甚至是意思都发生了变化,比如:airplane 和 aeroplane,flyer 和 flier 等等,还有 gray 和 grey,它们的发音和意思都一样,那么如何区分呢? His new grey jacket was torn and muddied. I undid the bottom two buttons of my yellow and grey shirt He started to turn grey in his mid-forties.I get some grey hairs but I pull them out. He saw a grey future stretch ahead of him. 二、作名词,意为“灰色,烟灰色,灰白色”等,例如:She was dressed in grey and looked suitably subdued. Soft tones of blue and grey create a clean, bright look. 在美式英语中,gray 比 grey 更流行,很多美国人认为 grey 是拼写错误,但是现在 grey 已经变成 gray 的一个变体,而且 gray 在英式英语中也流行起来。 为了不使人产生困恼,最好还是在美式英语中使用 gray,而在英式英语中使用 grey.
