The hardest word in the English language for foreigners to the pronounce is 'Worcestershire', according to a recent poll. 根据最新调查，对于以非英语为母语的人来说，英语里最难发音的单词是“Worcestershire”（ 伍斯特郡）。 On a recent Reddit thread, user JustATreeNut, asked people from around the world to submit English words they struggled with most. 最近在Reddit（社交资讯网站）的一个帖子中，一位名叫JustATreeNut的用户发起了一项投票——让世界各地的人们选出最让他们头疼的英文单词。 Top of the list is the name of an English county (and a great British condiment), which although pronounced 'wuss-ter-sheer' seems to confound most non-English speakers when they attempt it. 名列榜首的是英国一个郡的名字（也是英国著名的调料名），这个“wuss-ter-sheer”的发音似乎使大多数母语非英语的人感到读起来很费劲。 In the top ten, which was put together by Mamamia, apparently easy words such as 'specific' and ‘squirrel’ took second and third place. 在由Mamamia统计的十大最难读的单词中，一些看起来很简单的单词也上榜了，例如“specific” 和“squirrel”分别位列第二、第三。 And certain words which appear on the list, including 'brewery' and 'edited', seem rather straightforward to an average Brit. |
