at the time. "While I have nothing against the French.”
Hasnip suffered from foreign accent syndrome(外国口音综合症), a rare condition in which
people find themselves speaking their own language Like someone from a foreign country. The
condition usually occurs in people who have experienced a head injury or a stroke(中风)一a
sudden loss of consciousness, sensation, or movement caused by a blocked or broken blood vessel
(血管)in the brain.
The condition was first identified during the Second World War in a Norwegian woman
whose head was injured during an attack by the German military. The woman recovered but was
left with a German-sounding accent, to the horror of fellow villagers who avoided her after that.
Researchers have discovered that the combined effect of the damage to several parts of the
brain makes victims lengthen certain syllables, mispronounce sounds, and change,the normal
pitch(高音)of their voice. Those changes in speech add up to what sounds like a foreign accent.
Another researcher, a phonetician(语音学者),says victims of the syndrome don't acquire a
true foreign accent. Their strangely changed speech only resembles the foreign: accent with which
it has a few sounds in common.
