With nine letter and four syllables, the tongue-twisting "phenomenon" has been named as the most mispronounced word in the English language. 由九个字母和四个音节组成的，发音饶舌的“现象”一词成为英语里面最难念的单词。 The word came first in a study of terms that are tricky to get your tongue around, with most people mixing up the letters M and N on a regular basis.
这个词在调查中之所以名列榜首，是因为phenomenon中的"m"和"n"一个连一个，让你的嘴皮子倒腾不过来。 "Anaesthetist" came second because of quickly moving between the TH to the letters T at the end. “麻醉师”一词的发音排名第二，难就难在"th"和"t"的音连接得太紧。 In third place was "remuneration", which is often mispronounced as "renumeration". “报酬”位居第三。这个词难在它经常被误读为"renumeration"。 Almost half of the 3,000 people surveyed admitted they often correct someone if they say something in the wrong way and a quarter of people said they thought mispronunciation showed a lack of intelligence. 参与调查的3000人中，几乎一半的受访者表示他们经常会纠正别人错误的发音，四分之一的受访者说，发音错误容易给人知识水平不高的印象。 But suprisingly in the list of admissions, Britons admitted that February was the 12th hardest word to spit out. 令人惊奇的是，英国人把“二月”一词推上榜单，位列最难发音的第十二位。 A spokesman for Spinvox, a voicemail to text message service, which carried out the research, said: "Phenomenon is very hard to say because of the structure of the word." 语音通信公司Spinvox进行了这项调查。该公司的发言人说：“Phenomenon这个字很难念是因为这个词本身的结构。”
初中生背诵单词的20个窍门 人们通常认为掌握一门外语要过三关(语音关、词汇关、语法关)，斩五将(听、说、读、写、译)，相对来说，掌握英语单词是最难过的一关。英语的词汇量大，总词汇量至少在60万以上，实用词汇量为8千至1万，基本词汇量为4千。一般的说，掌握英语单词没有什么捷径可走，但我们可以选择一些不同方法来记忆英语单词，下面介绍20种记忆英语单词的方法。 1、逻辑记忆：通过词的本身的内部逻辑关系、词与词之间的外部逻辑关系记忆单词。 (1)把几个字母看作一个来记如：“ight”light right fight night might sight tight。 (2)外旧内新，如：bridge“桥”看成bridgeridge“山脊”sharp看成sharpharp“竖琴”。 (3)外新内旧，如：cleave“劈开”看成cleave tact“机智”看成tact。 2、联想记忆： (1)音与形的联想，即根据读音规则记忆单词。 (2)形与义的联想，如：eye把两个e看成两个眼。banana把a看成一个个的香蕉。bird把b和d看成两个翅膀。 (3)象声词，联想实际的声音，如：gong锣coo咕咕声。 3、分类记忆：把单词进行分门别类如：动物、植物等进行分类记忆。你可以找一本分类字典作为参考。 4、卡片记忆：自己制作单词卡片随时随身进行单词记忆，卡片写上
单词的词形、词性、词义、音标、搭配、例句等。 5、感官记忆：记单词时，不要只用一种感官，尽可能地用多个感官，耳听、嘴读、手写、眼看、心记等。 6、软件记忆：有电脑的可利用电脑软件进行记单词，如：《开心背单词》、《开天辟地背单词》、《我爱背单词》等。 7、构词记忆：利用构词法，通过分析词根、前缀、后缀、派生和合成等记忆单词。 8、图表记忆：利用形象的图表进行记忆，它的优点是意、形、物直观的结合到一起。你可以找一本英语图解字典作为参考。 9、游戏记忆：通过自己和集体做游戏，在轻松愉快的气氛中进行单词记忆。 10、歌曲记忆：通过唱英语歌曲记忆单词，“听霸”“听力超人”等软件中有许多英文歌曲，并配有歌词和译文。 11、阅读记忆：通过阅读英语文章，小说等记忆单词，注意选择难度要适宜。 12、同义记忆：通过同义词一起进行单词记忆，可确切理解词义，这时不必注意它们的意义的区别。 13、反义记忆：通过反义词一起进行单词记忆，扩大了词义。 14、词典记忆：即背字典，这种方法是一种强行记忆的方法。它的缺点是容易忘记，只是孤立记住单词的意义。可以作为一种短时间的强化手段。 15、复习记忆：单词记住了，很快会忘掉，每隔一段时间要进行复习，
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."
史上最恐怖的12个英文单词(老外也受不了) 1,honorificabilitudinitatibus 这个字是由27个字母组成的。出现在大文豪莎士比亚的剧本「空爱一场」love's labour's lost 里，意思是「不胜光荣」。 2. antidisestablishmentarianism 这个字是由28个字母组成的。根据范克和华格若尔斯编的「英语新标准辞」里面的解释，这个字的意思是「反对教会与国家分开学说」。它曾被英国首相格来斯顿william ewart gladstone，1809-1898引述过一次。 3. floccinaucinihilipipification 这个字是由29个字母组成的。「牛津英文辞典」里就有这个字，意思是「把某事的价值加以抹杀的行为或习惯」。 4. supercalifragilisticexpiadocious 这个字是由34个字母组成的。出现在一部名叫mary poppins的电影里，意思是「好」。 5. hepaticocholecystostcholecystntenterostomy 这个字是由40个字母组成的。出现在高德编的「医学辞典」里，为一个外科术语，亦即在胆囊与胆管之间或肠子与胆囊之间接人工管子的手术。 6. pneumonoultramicyoscpicailicovolcanoconiosis 这个字是由45个字母组成的。出现在韦氏辞典第八版的版本中意思是「吸入硅酸盐细末或石英岩灰而形成的肺尘埃沉着病」。矿工特别容易得这种病。 7. antipericatametaanaparcircumvolutiorectumgustpoops of the coprofied 这个字是由50个字母组成的。有个图书馆的书架上，陈列着法国作家拉伯雷着的「葛甘塔和潘特古」故事系列。其中有一本，书名就是这个长长的英文字。 8. osseocaynisanguineoviscericartilagininervomedullary 这个字是由51个字母组成的。它是人体构造一术语，曾出现在英国作家皮考克thomas lovepeacock,1785-1866那本名叫headlong hall的小说中。 9. aequeosalinocalcalinoceraceoaluminosocupreovitriolie 这个字是由52个字母组成的。它是英国医学作者爱德华.史特罗哲dr edward strother，1675-1737创造的字，专用来形容英格兰格洛斯特夏布瑞斯陀这个地方的矿泉水成分。
逼疯英国人的10个英语单词Manyhave said that sorry is the hardest word but they'd be wrong,linguistically speaking at least。 很多人说，“对不起”是最难说出口的词。不过，他们其实错了——至少从语言学的角度上说。 According to a poll, the word we find hardestto pronounce is 'phenomenon'。 根据投票调查发现，最难发音的单词其实是“phenomenon”(现象)。 Nextin the top 10 of tongue-twisters are 'remuneration', and'statistics'。 在十个最拗口的词中排在其后的是“remuneration”(报酬)和"statistics"(统计数字)。 Speakers also have a problem getting theirtongue around ethnicity, hereditaryandparticularly, according tothe body charged with recording public utterances。 根据一个负责对人们在公共场合讲话进行录音的组织发现，讲话者在发音时会遇到困难舌头打结的还有：ethnicity(种族)hereditary(遗传的)和particularly(特别地)。 TheBritish Institute Of Verbatim Reporters (BIVR) is the UK?s leadingorganisation for professionals involved in taking down speech atcourt and tribunal hearings。

快速记忆英语单词的二十个好方法 在记单词时，对大脑皮层的刺激有助于使脑细胞的突触连结数目的增加，所以，我们的记忆力就是以大批脑细胞突触连结的产生而形成的。重要的是，保持我们的大脑处于受刺激兴奋状态。只要有可能，就应尽一切努力为单词的记忆保持和回忆创造必要的条件，从而提高单词的记忆效率。 为达此目的，可采取以下途径和方法： （1）制定一个记忆单词的学习计划，有计划有目的地增加大脑对外语信息的记忆容量； （2）尽一切可能参加能增强记忆力的各项活动，随时随地地说外语，用外语，利用一切机会人为地创造语言环境； （3）做到在单词的记忆保持效果趋于下降之前及时进行复习； （4）要更多地使用你的右脑，即通过实物、画图、模型和颜色充分发挥能增强你记忆的那个大脑半球的作用。 此外，值得注意的另一个问题是，单词记忆效率的提高不仅取决于科学而有效记忆单词的方法，还取决于一天中记忆单词的最佳时间。大量实验结果表明：上午8～10点钟和晚上8～10点钟是记忆单词的最佳时间，因为在这个时间里，大脑中担负记忆任务的脑细胞已基本上得到较好的休息，所以记忆效果最佳。
再者，人所处的环境因素也能对记忆单词的效果产生一定影响，如果在一个室内狭窄而又十分嘈杂的环境中记单词，那些来自外界的噪声干扰会给大脑的正常记忆活动造成紊乱，从而影响记忆单词的效果。相反，如果在景色宜人、空气清新的自然环境中记忆单词，人的大脑当然是处于一种清醒冷静的状态中，注意力比较集中，记忆单词的效果自然好于前一种情况。 在记单词时，首先必须掌握外语单词的构成规律、构词模式和大量的词素意义，再根据单词的不同类型适宜地选择科学而有效的方法来记忆单词，方能收到理想的学习效果。由于不同语种有其各自不同的构词规律和构词模式，学习者只能根据自己所学的语种来掌握其规律性，所以因受语种和篇幅所限，这里不能对所有语种一一介绍构词规律，只能以学习者居多的英语为例介绍记忆单词的妙法。 1．拼读法 掌握正确的拼法与读音之间的关系，可以根据单词的读音，正确地拼写单词。例如，我们知道元音字母O在重读开音节时读作[+(]根据这条规则，go，hope，home，note 等词，不用费什么劲就记住了。另外还有一条发音规则：在o之后，如果是m，n，v，th时，o可以读作[Λ]。根据这条规则，我们不会把mother，some，come，dove，done等单词中的o写成u。再举一个元音字母组合的例子。ay读[ei]。中学教材中所有带有ay字母组合的词，如say，day，way，pay，ray，may，lay，play，spray，不仅发音容易，而且拼写也没有任何困难。当然，英语发音规则很多，又有许多例外情况，要记住它们并不容易。但是为了帮助记单词，花些时间，记住一些常用发音规则还是很有用的。

（1）音与形的联想，即根据读音规则记忆单词。 （2）形与义的联想，如：eye把两个e看成两个眼。banana把a看成一个个的香蕉。bird把b和d看成两个翅膀。 （3）象声词，联想实际的声音，如：gong锣coo咕咕声。 3.分类记忆： 把单词进行分门别类如：动物、植物等进行分类记忆。你可以找一本分类字典作为参考。 4.卡片记忆： 自己制作单词卡片随时随身进行单词记忆，卡片写上单词的词形、词性、词义、音标、搭配、例句等。 5.感官记忆： 记单词时，不要只用一种感官，尽可能地用多个感官，耳听、嘴读、手写、眼看、心记等。 6.软件记忆： 软件进行记单词，如：《开心背单词》、《开天辟地背单词》、《我爱背单词》

这30个单词是英语母语者最容易读错，快来检测一下你读对了吗？ These 30 Words are Always Mispronounced English is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. Now, anywhere up to 1.8 billion people around the world speak English. It is easy to learn and flexible. In spite of that, there are many words which are mispronounced by many people. This may be because of the fact that English is not their native language and they have their own regional accent. These 30 words are always mispronounced. Even by most of the people whose native language is English. Almond: This dry fruit is pronounced as Ah-mund, (pronunciation of u as in sun). L is silent. You should not pronounce it as Aal-mund. Bury: It is pronounced as Be-ri, the same as berry. And not Beu-ri or Burr-ri. Dengue: This disease is pronounced as Den-gee (pronunciation of ‘gee’ as in cheese). You should not pronounce it as Den-goo. Dessert: It is pronounced as dizz-urt, (pronunciation of u as in sun). And not as des-ert which is a barren land. Schedule: According to US English, sked-jule is the correct pronunciation for this word. According to British English, shed-yool is the correct pronunciation. Zebra: According to US English. the sound of the letter ‘Z’ is ‘Zee’. So, Zee-bra. (pronunciaiton of ee as in tree). But according to British English, it can be Zeb-ra.

似識而非的假朋友不查字典你就可能會弄錯的20個英文詞彙文/蘇正隆竹女圖書館96.1.1 我們在學英文或從事翻譯的時候，最容易的是中文裡有對應或極為類似的說法。譬如「蛙人」英文叫frogman，「鐵人」英文叫iron man，這種詞彙我稱之為「一見如故」，學起來、譯出來輕而易舉，不費功夫。比較麻煩的是看起來似曾相識，誤以為「他鄉遇故知」，結果卻是被擺了一道而不自知。這種似「識」而非的詞彙，語言學上稱之為false friend（假朋友），例如英文的eat one’s words不是「食言」，是「認錯、道歉」。類似這樣的「假朋友」英文裡比比皆是，我們不提高警覺，多查字典，很容易就會掉入陷井而不自知。底下是一些false friend的例子。 Bank holiday不是銀行節，是公共假期 有一次我看影集，裡面兩位男士邊走邊談，一位提到明天是Bank holiday，中文字幕赫然出現明天是「銀行節?。在英國國定假日叫Bank holiday，也許銀行與英國人關係太密切了，是生活中不可或缺的，所以國定假日銀行不開門就稱之為Bank holiday。 Bookmaker不一定是圖書業者，有可能是接受賭注的莊家 台灣人賭性堅強，不過論普及程度，和英國人比起來可要瞠乎其後。除了彩券外，他們賭注的名堂很多，從賭馬到賭足球，甚至哪一球隊下任教練人選是誰，都可以下注，稱為bookmaking。大街小巷到處都可見投注站，掛著bookmaker的招牌，不知情者還以為是書店或印書的地方呢。 Coming of age不是時代來臨，而是成年 現在大多數國家以18歲為成年(of age) 。許多文化裡都有成年禮(Coming of age ceremony)來慶祝生命中這一重要時期的來臨。因此Coming of age又有「重要階段，轉捩點?的意思，時代(epoch)則是指一段相當長的時期。 crow’s-feet不是烏鴉腳，是魚尾紋 年紀大了眼角產生皺紋，中文叫「魚尾紋?，英文叫crow’s-feet。愛美女士必欲去之而後快，早年有訴諸拉臉(face lift)等美容手術，近年來則流行注射肉毒桿菌(botulin) 。 drawing room不是畫室，是客廳 living room就是客廳，在英國又稱為sitting room，主要是普羅階層的說法。豪門貴族的客廳則稱為drawing room，但這裡的drawing與畫畫無關。從前貴族的客廳乃男士高談闊論的地方，女性及小孩通常都會迴避。所以drawing room其實是withdrawing room的簡稱。 flat-footed不一定是扁平足，有可能是手足無措 扁平足英文叫flatfoot。扁平足的人腳弓(instep arch)直接處地，不利於行，因此flat-footed常用來指笨本手笨腳，手足失措。如:不久前的旱災讓政府窘態百出，束手無策，。就可以說A recent drought caught the government flat-footed. fourth estate不是第四筆地產，是指記者或新聞界 estate有地產、遺產、地位等意思。歐洲傳統上認為社會由貴族、教會、平民三大階層構成，就是所謂的estate of the realm;近代新聞記者自成一個勢力，則是傳統三大階層以外的第四階層，稱為fourth estate，有人把它譯成第四權。 full of beans不是到處都是豆子，是精力充沛 bean通常指的是四季豆，大概是豆子營養豐富吧，full of beans意指精力充沛，如:After a siesta he was full of beans.(午睡後他精力十足)。不過在美國俚語裡full of beans另有「錯誤連篇?錯誤連篇的意思。 gray matter不是灰色的東西，是指頭腦 大腦裡面有所謂的「灰質?與「白質?(gray matter & white matter ) ，「白質?主要是神經纖維構成，灰質是由能解讀訊號的神經細胞組成的，因此用來喻指大腦。如:他花不少時間絞盡腦汁想解決那問題，可以說That problem has caused her gray matter to work overtime. green bean 不是綠豆，是四季豆 這是一個最典型的false friend，因為字面上剛好有「綠?及「豆?兩字。我門拿來做綠豆湯，綠豆芽的豆子英文叫mung bean。Green bean是四季豆，又稱敏豆。 hard shoulder不是硬肩膀，是路肩 正規道路的邊緣也就是路肩，在美國稱之為shoulder，可供緊急停車或急救車行使。在英國只有高速公路設有路肩，稱為hard shoulder。 headhunt不再是從前食人族的獵頭陋習，而是當前流行的「挖角?行為 培養人才要花時間，所謂百年樹人。現代企業流行撿現成，從別的公司找現成人才最方便省事，就是所謂挖腳(headhunt)。負責挖腳的人或尋才公司就叫headhunter。 heavy duty不是責任重大，是耐用 Duty除了職責外，還有稅的意思，如customs duty(關稅) ，import duty(進口稅)等。但heavy duty並非重稅，也不是職務繁重，而是耐用，如:heavy duty battery(強力、耐用電池) 。 hobby horse不是愛馬，是別人早就聽膩、自己卻樂此不疲的話題 hobby一般譯成嗜好，但其實跟中文的嗜好有些不同，必須是正面的、花時間去培養的休閒活動才算hobby，看電視、逛街都不能算。騎馬(horseback riding)可算是一種hobby，但hobby horse與馬無關，是別人早就聽膩，自己卻樂此不疲、老愛談起的話題。 Industrial action不是工業行動，是罷工之類的手段 勞資之間如不能和諧相處，互不相讓，就會有糾紛。勞資糾紛如果得不到解決，工會往往祭出怠工、罷工之類的手段，叫做industrial action(英)/job action(美) 。 labour of love不是為情所困，是為了興趣嗜好而無怨無悔去做的事 巴哈馬的夢幻島嶼穆尚珊瑚礁島，目前雖以每週30多萬美元高價出租，但島主Melk說收支還是難以平衡，經營該島純粹是為了興趣，”It’s a labour of love，” says Melk。報紙上竟譯成:他說「它是愛的奴隸。」令人噴飯。 milk run不是牛奶用光了，是旅行搭的飛機或火車停很多站，非直飛或直達 有別於直飛或直達，停靠好幾站載客的飛機或火車，就像milkman一天要跑許多地方送奶，因此稱為milkrun。另外，在英國有所謂milk round，是指大公司每年到各大學徵才的活動。 moonshine不一定是月光，也指私酒，或餿主意
