最难读的七大英语单词

最难读的七大英语单词

(1)语音转文字短信服务公司Spinvox发起了此项研究，该公司发言人说：“许多单词都很难发音，当我们努力发出单词的正确读音时会自我意识到自己发音的方式。

A spokesman for Spinvox, a voicemail to text message service,which carried out the research, said: "Many words are difficult to say andwhen we struggle to pronounce

a word correctly it makes us self-conscious aboutthe way we speak.

(2)“anaesthetist”（麻醉师）一词在最容易发错音的单词榜单中名列第二，其发音难度在于Th和词末T音素之间的快速转换。第三难读的是“remuneration”（报酬）一词，经常被人们错读为“renumeration”。

'Anaesthetist' came second because of quickly moving between theTH to the letters T at the end. In third place was 'remuneration', which isoften mispronounced as 'renumeration'.

（3）由于拼写中包含众多的T和S，“statistics”和“ethnicity”分别是第四和第五难读的单词。

With the numbers of Ts and Ss in the word, the fourth mostdifficult to pronounce was 'statistics' and 'ethnicity' was in fifth place.

（4）“phenomenon” 这一单词有9个字母4个音节，发音十分拗口，也被名副其实地评为英语中最容易发错音的单词。

With nine letter and foursyllables, the tongue-twisting 'phenomenon' has been named as the mostmispronounced word in the English language.

(5)这个单词来自于一个关于术语的研究。“phenomenon” 比较拗口，大部分人在读的时候经常混淆M和N的音。

The word came first in astudy of terms that are tricky to get your tongue around, with most peoplemixing up the letters M and N on a regular basis.

(6)“某一个人感觉易读的单词，可能对另一个人来说就很难发音。然而人们觉得像February这样最基础的单词难读，这一点十分堪忧。”

"A word one person finds easy to say, maybe difficult forthe next person. Although it's worrying that some people find basic words suchas February difficult to say."

(7)但令人吃惊的是，在排名列表中英国人认为February这一单词在这张榜单中排名第十二。

But suprisingly in the list of admissions, Britons admitted thatFebruary was the 12th hardest word to spit out.
