谷歌发布美国拼写错误地图：威斯康辛州民众拼不对本州名字

他补充道：“这对我们社会的教育发展趋势是一个绝佳的说明。”

Wisconsin may have been the only state this year where the top searched word was the name of the state itself, but last year that honor went to Massachusetts (this year the Bay State had trouble with the word "license").

威斯康辛可能是今年唯一一个搜索第一单词是其本身名字的州，而去年获此“殊荣”的是马萨诸塞州（该州今年拼写困难的单词是“license（许可）”）。

The release of the trend map comes a day before the preliminary rounds of the 90th Scripps National Spelling Bee, where spelling champs from across the nation will compete for up to a $40,000 cash prize, trips to New York and Los Angeles and an engraved trophy.

谷歌发布该拼写趋势地图的第二天就是第90届斯克利普斯全美拼写大赛的初赛，届时来自全国各地的拼写冠军们将展开角逐，奖品包括4万美元现金、纽约洛杉矶之旅以及刻有名字的奖杯。

Last year, the spelling bee ended in a tie for the third consecutive year in a row, with Jairam Hathwar and Nihar Janga declared co-champions.

去年，全美拼写大赛连续第三年以平局告终，杰拉姆•哈斯沃和尼哈尔•赞加并列冠军。

This year, the bee is introducing new rules that could prevent another tie, including a "tiebreaker test" for finalists with 12 words and 12 vocabulary questions.
