The word came first in a study of terms that are tricky to get your tongue around, with most people mixing up the letters M and N on a regular basis.这个词在调查中之所以名列榜首，是因为phenomenon中的"m"和"n"一个连一个，让你的嘴皮子倒腾不过来。

"Anaesthetist" came second because of quickly moving between the TH to the letters T at the end.“麻醉师”一词的发音排名第二，难就难在"th"和"t"的音连接得太紧。

In third place was "remuneration", which is often mispronounced as "renumeration".“报酬”位居第三。这个词难在它经常被误读为"renumeration"。

Almost half of the 3,000 people surveyed admitted they often correct someone if they say something in the wrong way and a quarter of people said they thought mispronunciation showed a lack of intelligence.参与调查的3000人中，几乎一半的受访者表示他们经常会纠正别人错误的发音，四分之一的受访者说，发音错误容易给人知识水平不高的印象。

But suprisingly in  the list of admissions, Britons admitted that February was the 12th hardest word to spit out.令人惊奇的是，英国人把“二月”一词推上榜单，位列最难发音的第十二位。

A spokesman for Spinvox, a voicemail to text message service, which carried out the research, said: "Phenomenon is very hard to say because of the structure of the word."
语音通信公司Spinvox进行了这项调查。该公司的发言人说：“Phenomenon这个字很难念是因为这个词本身的结构。”

"There are some real tongue-twisters in the list and it's understandable how many people can get confused when pronouncing certain words.
"“这次的列表中有一些单词确实很饶舌，所以许多人在念这些单词时感觉困难是可以理解的。”

"A word one person finds easy to say, maybe difficult for the next person.
Although it's worrying that some people find basic words such as February difficult to say."
“某些人觉得好念的单词对其他人来说却可能并不好念，就像一些人觉得“二月”之类的基本单词很难念。”

The company found that other difficult words to feature in the poll include "regularly" at 11, "particularly" at 13 and "prejudice" at 17.该公司发现的其他一些引人注目的难读的上榜单词包括位列11的“有规律地”、位列13的“尤其”和位列17的“偏见”。

More than a third of people even say they avoid using words they know they struggle with altogether so they do not end up looking stupid.超过三分之一的受访者表示，为了不犯傻，他们会避免使用自己念不清楚的单词。
publicly

1.
Waiting to do something until you can be sure of doing it exactly right means waiting for ever.One of the greatest advantages anyone can have is the willingness to make a fool of themselves publicly and often.
There's no better way to learn and develop.
Heck, it's fun too.

2.Following the latest fashion, in work or in life, is spiritual and intellectual suicide.You can be a cheap imitation of the ideal of the moment; or you can be a unique individual.
The choice is yours.
Religion isn't the opiate of the masses, fashion is.

3.
If people complain that you're too fond of going your own way and aren't fitting in, you must be on the right track.Who wants to live life as a herd animal? The guys in power don't want you to fit in for your own sake; they want you to stop causing them problems and follow their orders.
You can't have the freedom to be yourself and meekly fit in at the same time.

4.
If you make your work your life, you're making your life into hard work.
Like most people,I confused myself by looking at people like artists and musicians whose life's "work" fills their time.
That isn't work.
It's who they are.
Unless you have some overwhelming passion that also happens to allow you to earn a living doing it, always remember that work should be a means to an end: living an enjoyable life.
Spend as little time on the means as possible consistent with achieving the end.
Only idiots live to work.
