Metropolitana - Inglese Britannico e Americano
La lezione di oggi ti aiuterà a comprendere la differenza tra alcune parole in inglese britannico e americano.
In the UK, the underground rail system is called the Underground.
The Underground system in London is called the Tube, because of the shape of trains and tunnels.
In the USA, the underground rail system is called the subway, but in Washington D.C. it is called The Metro.
The British also use the word Metro to refer to the underground system in other cities in Europe.
In British English, a subway (or underpass) is a passage under a road that pedestrians use to go from one side to the other.
The same thing in America is called underground pedestrian passageway.
