（2）动词 have ,get, make
当动词have有致使之意时，美国用have; 英国对上级用get,对下级用make.英语中 的to have 是个词性不明确的动词。英国 人既把它用作助动词又把它用作实义动词；
美国人则一律将它当作实义动词来用。例
如： BE: I will get someone come. AE: I will have someone come.
3. 语法差异

更为明显，特别是那些带介词的短语动 词：to cook out →a cook-out ;to know how →the know-how; to run down →the rundown; to be shut in →a shut-in; to stop over →the stopover等。
