(2018·烟台质检)When I was in college, I spent a semester studying abroad at

the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland. In my brief time there, I came

to love Scotland for its local culture, food and scenery.

You might think, “Scotland isn't so different from the US;

they still speak English there!” But when I stepped off the plane,

I was greeted by a gruff­voiced (声音粗哑的) lady at customs.

our guys are leaving Glasgow for the States!” Her thick Scottish English and sense

of humor were obvious right away. I was not in the US any more, where customs agents

never joke around.

As I settled in at the university, I could feel myself getting used to hearing

— and even speaking — the Scottish English of my customs agent. In classroom

discussions, people would say “em” when they couldn't think of what to say instead

of “um”, which was great fun. After the first few weeks, I stopped chuckling about

this. Strathclyde students stayed up late into the night, running around campus and

Americanized it by choosing coffee instead — and a bridie makes for a delicious
