英国网民票选：史上最难发音的10个单词

8. February

9. Edited

10. Heir

And certain words which appear on the list, including 'brewery' and 'edited', seem rather straightforward to an average Brit.

榜单上出现的其他的一些词，包括'brewery' 和'edited'，对一般英国人而言太简单了。

Others, including 'phenomenon and 'February' are notorious tongue twisters even for native English speakers.

其它的，包括'phenomenon 和'February'都是臭名昭著的绕口词，甚至对英国本土人而言。

The last two words to make the top ten were Derby, which is (confusingly for foreigners) pronounced 'darby', and 'heir'.

排名前十的最后两个单词是Derby，发音为’darby’(让外国人很困惑)，还有'heir'。

Of course, we've all had our embarrassing slips when attempting to pronounce unfamiliar words.None more mortifying, perhaps, than John Travolta's linguistic misstep at the 2014 Oscars, where he pronounced Frozen star Idina Menzel's name as: 'Adele Dazeem', for the entire world to see.And let's not forget Benedict Cumberbatch, the Oscar-nominated British thespian who famously recorded an entire voiceover for a 2009 BBC nature documentary pronouncing the word 'penguin' as 'peng-wing'.
