I say!啊!；呀!

This exclamation of surprise or astonishment is thought to be typical of British men by most Americans but is considered rather old—fashioned in England，though it is still heard there．The expression，never used seriously in America，probably dates back before the late eighteenth cebtury．

大多数美国人认为，这个表示惊讶或震惊的感叹词是典型的英国用法。但该用语虽然在英国仍可以听到，可是已认为是相当古老了。该用语可能源于18世纪末以前，在美国从不用在严肃的场合。
