Bundespraesidentenstichwahlwiederholungsverschiebung. It has a ring to it, doesn’t it? Try it out for yourself: Bundespraesidentenstichwahlwiederholungsverschiebung. To an English speaker, it may seem like a meaningless, even endless assortment of letters, but it turns out that it’s an award-winning German word. As the Associated Press reports, a survey of 10,000 Austrians has chosen the lengthy noun as its word of the year. Bundespraesidentenstichwahlwiederholungsverschiebung，听上去像是什么有趣的东西，不是吗？你可以试着自己念一遍：Bundes／praesidenten／stichwahl／wiederholungs／verschiebung。对于说英语(或是其他语言)的人来说，它似乎是段毫无意义无穷无尽的字母组合，但事实证明它却是个获奖的重要德语词。美联社报道，一项有上万奥地利人参与的调查将这个超长的名词选作了年度热词。 |
