Words ending in a vowel plus l

以元音 l结尾的单词

In British spelling, verbs ending in a vowel plus l double the l when adding endings that begin with a vowel. In American English, the l is not doubled:

英式英语中，在以元音 l结尾的单词后面加上由元音开始的后缀时，l要重复1次。美式英语则没有这一要求。

BritishUStraveltraveltravelledtraveledtravellertraveler

Words spelled with double vowels

含有2个连在一起的元音字母的单词

British English words that are spelled with the double vowels ae or oe are just spelled with an e in American English:

英式英语中含有ae或oe的单词在美式英语中只有写作。

BritishUSleukaemialeukemiamanoeuvremaneuveroestrogenestrogen

Note that in American English, certain terms, such as archaeology, keep the ae spelling as standard, although the spelling with just the e (i.e. archeology) is usually aeptable as well.

注意：美式英语中，一些专有名词如archaeology还是会保持标准的写法，虽然只写e(例如archeology)也不是不能接受。

Some nouns that end with -ence in British English are spelled -ense in American English:

英式英语中某些以-ence结尾的名词在美式英语中以-ense结尾。

BritishUSanalogueanalog or analoguecataloguecatalog or cataloguedialoguedialog or dialogue

The distinctions here are not hard and fast. The spelling analogue is aeptable but not very mon in American English; catalog has bee the US norm, but catalogue is not unmon; dialogue is still preferred over dialog.

上面这条规则并非一成不变。Analogue可以接受但在美式英语中并不常见。Catalog已经成为美式标准，而catalogue也很常见。人们更愿意使用dialogue而非dialog。
