    17每个人都犯的令人尴尬的发音错误

    We've all been there.

    我们首先通过阅读来学习的英语有很多单词,其次是大声说出来。

    Last week, a Twitter useraskedeveryone to share their best examples of words they had been mispronouncing, and people's answers were pretty hilarious.

    What word did you learn first by reading before you realized you were pronouncing it wrong the whole time?

    我的是“武器”,我将其宣布为“哭泣”。谢谢格林女士没有在您的更正中做出巨大的场景。

    1.Epitome: "Epi-tome."

    Epitome but like it rhymes with home. https://t.co/pfvTdtwFZs

    2.Vagina: "Va-(hard g)ee-nah."

    3.Prima donnas: "Pre-madonnas."

    @alau2并不完全相同 - 实际上,我的十几岁的女儿在玩的垒球队中收到了一张纸条,教练们感谢球员们没有一堆预先的杂物。

    4.Homeowner: "Ho-meow-ner."

    5.Banal: "Bay-nal."

    6.Faux: "Fawx."

    @alau2 My brother calls them “read-it-never-said-its.” My “read-it-never-said-it” was faux—I thought “faw-x” until I was 18 and read aloud something /I wrote/ in a college classroom.

    7.Chick-fil-A: "Chick Filla."

    @alau2 I had a friend that kept pronouncing Chick Fill-A like chick filla (short a). I never corrected him cuz I thought he was joking. I played along. Finally said it correctly. He was like - Wait, WHAT?!? He had no idea.

    8.Fatigue: "Fatty-goo-wee."

    9.Hors d'oeuvres: "Horse doovers."

    @shannonrwatts @alau2 In grade school I had to read the word ‘hors d’oeuvres’ aloud and pronounced it ‘horse doovers’

    10。Debut: "Dee-Butt."

    @alau2 Debut. I pronounced it as dee-butt.

    11.Facade: "Fa-kade."

    @alau2 Facade, as “fa-kade,” a thing I said routinely when I was like six.

    12.模因:“我。”

    @alau2 Meme. Certain it was, “me me”. ♀️

    13.Hermione: "Her-me-own."

    @LibyaLiberty @alau2 Hermione. I read it as ‘Her - me - own’ until Goblet of Fire when Hermione teaches Viktor Krum to say her name!

    14.GIF: "G(hard G)-iff."

    @alau2 Gif.... I STILL don’t know how to pronounce it

    Takethis pollto see where you stand on GIF's pronunciation.

    15.Deaf: "Deef."

    @alau2 @kalesalad Deaf (pronounced as deef)

    16.Touchè: “Touchy."

    @alau2 I used to read “Touchè” as “Touchy” which made the Three Musketeers seem very sensitive and kind of bitchy.

    17.Albeit: "All-bite."

    @Jenny_Trout @fransharpasatak @AlexandraErin @AdrianneKar @alau2 Albeit used to trip me up too. As a kid I thought it sounded vaguely German and had no idea what it meant since I read it as 'all-bite'

    And by the way, there's no shame in mispronouncing a word. As one person reminds us, it likely means you at least read it somewhere!

    @alau2 My grandmother Jane used to say: “Better to mispronounce a word than to misuse it, because that means you read it somewhere.” (She was a reporter, then editor of a newspaper, and the reason Detroit started adding women to the phone book #legend)

    What'syourfavorite "read-it-never-said-it"?
