ayuh对，好

【使用地区】：美国新英格兰地区各州

【释义】：

Yes，though the word has shades of meaning ranging from the affirmative to the sarcastic．Chiefly heard in Maine，ayuh(EYE—uh)is used throughout New England in variations such as eyah，ayeh，eeyuh，ehyuh，aaay—yuh，and even ayup．A touchstone of New England speech，it possibly derives from the nautical aye(yes)．Another theory has ayuh coming from the old Scots American aye—yes，meaning the same．

相当于yes，可以表示从肯定到讽刺的各种不同意思。主要用于缅因州，在新英格兰地区各州该词有各种变异，如eyah，ayeh，eeyuh，ehyuh，aaayyuh和ayup。这个词是新英格兰地区口音的试金石，也许源自海员用语aye，意为yes。另一种说法是，此词源于美籍苏格兰老人说的aye—yes，意思相同。
