英语有基础英语和专业英语，或通用英语(English for generalpurpose，简称EGP)和专用英语(English for special purpose，简称ESP)之分，这是因为各领域的具体需求和从业人员的思维方式有所差异。例如，“我那辆老吉普车终于发动起来了”对一般人可以简单地表达为“Finally，my old jeep started”，但学理工科的人会觉得不够精确和客观：难道车的所有部分都能发动？应改为“Finally，theengine of my old jeep started”。搞文学艺术的人则会觉得以上说法太呆板乏味，太没有水平，他们会说：“Finally，my ancient jeep coughedsintoslife”(字面意思：最终，我那古老的吉
