书面语和口语是两种不同形式的语言变体。口语是语言存在的最基本形式。从语言的起源和发展来看，口语是第一位的。书面语源于口语，是第二位的。书面语是用文字的形式来传递人们的思想、观点等信息。它要求句子结构完整、严谨、工整，符合语法规则和行文要求，在恰当传递信息的基础上产生一定的修辞效果。英语书面语和口语的主要区别体现在：
      1)书面语常用非人称形式行文，即说话人不直接表明自己或他人，避免使用人称代词we，you，i；口语常以第一人称叙事，直接表朋说话者是谁。例如：
      a rich woman was killed last night．(书面语)
      someone killed a rich woman last night．(口语)
      it's more tools that we need．(书面语)
      we need more tools．(口语)
      the heavy rain prevented us from starting．(书面语)
      we could not start because of the heavy rain．(口语)
      2)书面语常借用修辞手法，使文句优美生动；口语一般不用修辞手法，而用语调来达到这一效果。例如：
      through the window，came in the sweet song．(书面语)
      the sweet song came in through the window．(口语)
      once there lived a greedy king in greek．(书面语)
      once agreedy king lived in greek．(口语)
      3)书面语常把重要信息后置；口语则可把核心前移作为对照。例如：
      it's reported that the post office has received one of the letters．(书面语)
      one of letters has arrived(but the other one hasn't)．(口语)
      4)书面语一般不用缩略词；口语中则常常使用缩略词。例如：
      the professor stayed in the laboratory for 3 hours．(书面语)
      who's in the lab?(口语)
      the professor went to the hospital for a physical examination．(书面语)
      the professor is to go in for a physical．(口语)
      5)书面语一般要求使用正式用语行文；口语则常常以非正式用语叙事。例如：
      the college requires all students to submit their essay by a given time．(书面语)
      i've got to hand in this essay by tomonow．(口语)
      the author regrets that he made the same mistake again．(书面语)
      i'm sorry that i had made the same mistake again．(口语) 【纠错】
