侃侃而談自己的衣櫥里有哪些大牌,背的包包又是哪家的新款,但發(fā)音一水兒都是錯(cuò)的,是不是有土老帽進(jìn)城買了A貨的既視感?要想提升自己的整體氣質(zhì),還是先從弄清楚這些大牌的準(zhǔn)確發(fā)音開(kāi)始吧。
很多人都想讓衣櫥塞滿阿迪達(dá)斯、愛(ài)馬仕和莫斯基諾,但他們?cè)谡f(shuō)這些大牌的時(shí)候發(fā)音都不準(zhǔn)確。
在一個(gè)名為“跟露西學(xué)英語(yǔ)”(English With Lucy)的視頻博客中,露西-厄爾一段教網(wǎng)友讀大牌名稱的視頻意外走紅。
Lucy said: 'I am by no means a fashion expert. I am, however, extremely interested in pronunciation and I know a lot of you guys are as well and you want to sound like you know what you're talking about.
露西說(shuō):“我并非時(shí)尚專家。但我對(duì)發(fā)音非常感興趣,我知道你們當(dāng)中很多人也很感興趣。你們想讓人覺(jué)得自己熟知這些品牌。”
'A lot of you will be here because you want to improve your English speaking and pronunciation and will want to sound more professional when talking about these brands.'
“很多人會(huì)在這里看我的視頻,因?yàn)橄胍岣哂⒄Z(yǔ)口語(yǔ)和發(fā)音水平,還想讓自己在談?wù)撨@些品牌時(shí)顯得更專業(yè)?!?/p>
Instead of Mosh-sheen-oh, the Italian label Moschino is actually pronounced with a hard 'ch': 'Moss-KI-no'.
意大利品牌Moschino(莫斯基諾)發(fā)音并不是Mosh-sheen-oh,而是要重讀ch,標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的發(fā)音為Moss-KI-no。
Hermès, a French designer, is meant to be pronounced 'AIR-mez', not the common mispronunciation of 'Hermz'.
法國(guó)時(shí)尚品牌Hermès(愛(ài)馬仕)發(fā)音應(yīng)該為AIR-mez,而不是人們常說(shuō)的Hermz。
Popular sports brands seem to have different pronunciations everywhere, with Adidas and Nike sometimes being pronounced 'A-dee-das', and Nike to rhyme with Pike.
知名的體育品牌似乎在世界各地發(fā)音都不相同,Adidas(阿迪達(dá)斯)有時(shí)會(huì)被讀為A-dee-das,而Nike(耐克)則容易與Pike(匹克)的音韻搞混。
But they're actually meant to be pronounced 'Nike-ee' and 'Adi-dass', the latter being named after its founder Adi Dassler.
但其實(shí)這兩個(gè)品牌的發(fā)音分別是Nike-ee和Adi-dass,后者是以其創(chuàng)始人阿迪-達(dá)斯勒的名字命名的。
The more high-end designers are often pronounced incorrectly, with many people saying 'Bale-Main' instead of 'Bul-muh' when uttering the name of the French label Balmain.
品牌越高端越容易被讀錯(cuò),很多人把法國(guó)品牌Balmain(巴爾曼)讀成Bale-Main,正確發(fā)音為Bul-muh。
Similarly, many people pronounced Versace as 'Ver- sar-chee' when the Italian brand is meant to be said like 'Ver-SAH-cheh'.
同樣,也有很多人把意大利品牌Versace(范思哲)讀成Ver- sar-chee,正確讀音為Ver-SAH-cheh。
