这几个单词该怎么读
When it comes to pronunciation, there’s always
something to argue about. And
we’ve all done
it –whether standing in line at Starbucks arguing
about espresso or
throwing down about whether
or not to enunciate the ‘r’ in the second month of
the year.
单词的读音中总有让人争执不休的地方。我们也都为读音而争吵过——无
论是在星巴克排
队的时候争论espresso（黑咖啡）的读音还是是否要忽略February（二
月）这个单词里的
“r”。
So here’s more grist for the
argument mill.
下面是更多值得争论的单词。
1.
timbre音色，音品
If you’re a musical person, this
one has come up. ‘Tom’, ‘tam’, or ‘tim’? Many
make the mistake of pronouncing it ‘timber’,
as in fallen wood. However, the
choice between
‘tom’ and ‘tam’ is one you should feel free to
keep discussing…
如果你懂点音乐，这个词会出现在你生活中。是tom，还是ta
m，还是tim？许多人把这
个词错误地读成木材timber。但是，你还是可以畅快地讨论到底是t
om还是tam……
2. harbinger预兆
We’ve all heard
someone go for ‘bing’ instead of ‘binj’, haven’t
we? The correct
pronunciation of
this word is ‘HAR-bin-juhr’.
我们都听到有些人把bing读成[bɪŋ]
而不是[bɪndʒ]。正确地读音应该是[′hɑ:bɪndʒə(r) ]
3.
chasm峡谷；分歧
Although the hard ‘k’ is the
accepted pronunciation for this word, the
pronunciation beginning with a ‘ch’ as in
church is heard often enough.
尽管正确ch字母组合在这个单词中
的正确读音应该和字母k一致，但是很多人把该单词中
的ch读作church（教堂）中的ch。
4. quixotic堂吉诃德式的，不切实际的
Spanish literature
enthusiasts know that this adjective refers to the
hero of the
classic Spanish novel Don Quixote
by Miguel de Cervantes. And Spanish speakers
know that ‘qui’ is pronounced as ‘key’ and ‘x’
with the sound in Scottish
‘loch’. However,
the adjective describing the Don has been
anglicized to
‘kwik-SOT-ik’. Most English
speakers use the anglicized pronunciation for the
adjective, and something more Spanish-sounding
for the novel.
喜爱西班牙文学的人都知道这个形容词与塞万提斯的《堂吉诃德》一书
中的主角有关。说西
班牙语的人都知道qui的读音应该同key一样，而x的读音和苏格兰语中loc
h的读音一样。
但是，形容唐吉坷德的这个形容词已经在被英国化了。大多数说英语的人都用已经英国化
的
读法来读这个形容词，而在提及小说时说的则是更像西班牙语单词的读音。
5.
plantain一种蕉类
Some foodies may be alarmed to
learn that a widely accepted pronunciation of this
word ends with ‘tin’ rather than ‘tayn’, as in
‘rain’. Argue away!
这个单词的读音以tin而不是rain中的tayn这个
音节结尾，有些吃货可能会对这个读音感
到惊讶，那就和其他人争论一番吧！
6. homage敬意
‘Hom’ or ‘om’? As long as you
say it ending with an ‘ij’ and not ‘aazh’,
then it’s really a matter of preference.
第
一个音节读作hom还是om呢？如果你认为结尾的读音是ij而不是aazh，这就都算是
个人偏好吧
。
7. eschew回避
There are a few ways that
people pronounce this word – the only consistency
seeming to be an emphasis on the second
syllable. The main issue is typically how
to
pronounce the second syllable: like ‘shoe’,
‘chew’, or ‘skew’?
lists ‘chew’ as the
appropriate pronunciation, although
there is
evidence that many feel otherwise.
这个单词的读音都很多种
，但是唯一一种悦耳的读法是重读第二个音节。最关键的问题是第
二个音节该如何发音：像shoe，c
hew，还是skew？尽管有很多人不同意chew才是最恰
当的读音，但是牛津词典网站认为这样才
是正确的。
8. detritus碎石，瓦砾
The accepted
pronunciation of detritus highlights the second
syllable as ‘try’.
However, another
pronunciation – likely influenced by the
pronunciation of
detriment – is sometimes
heard in which the first syllable is stressed:
‘DET-trit-uhss’.
正确的读音应该是重读第二音节，读作try。但是，有
些人会重读第一个音节，这可能是受
到了detriment（损害）这个单词的影响。
9. comparable可比较的
Is ‘compare’
in comparable? Not as most English speakers
pronounce it. The
stress instead falls on the
first syllable: KOMP-(uh-)able
这个单词里是否含有compar
e这个单词的读音呢？大多数说英语的人不会这样读。重音落
在第一个音节上：[ˈkɒmpərəbl
]
