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)音開始吧。

很多人都想讓衣櫥塞滿阿迪達(dá)斯、愛馬仕和莫斯基諾，但他們在說這些大牌的時候發(fā)音都不準(zhǔn)確。

在一個名為“跟露西學(xué)英語”（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：“我并非時尚專家。但我對發(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.'
“很多人會在這里看我的視頻，因?yàn)橄胍岣哂⒄Z口語和發(fā)音水平，還想讓自己在談?wù)撨@些品牌時顯得更專業(yè)。”

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'.
法國時尚品牌Hermès（愛馬仕）發(fā)音應(yīng)該為AIR-mez，而不是人們常說的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）有時會被讀為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，很多人把法國品牌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。

Ms Earl, 22, set up the business with a ￡500 loan from her father. She bought a tripod and camera, taught herself how to shoot and about lighting and now earns more than the average teacher through advertising.
22歲的厄爾向父親借了500英鎊開始了這項(xiàng)業(yè)務(wù)。她購買了三腳架和攝像機(jī)，自學(xué)拍攝和打光，現(xiàn)在的廣告收入已經(jīng)超過教師平均工資。

She previously said: 'It's a business that I started completely from scratch with a ￡500 business loan from my dad, paid back with interest, of course, and has now a pretty significant turnover.
她之前曾說：“我完全是白手起家，從父親那里借了500英鎊就開始做起來了，當(dāng)然我已經(jīng)連本帶利都還清了，現(xiàn)在還有非常可觀的收入。”

'It was a huge step for me to say no to the grad schemes and yes to going at it alone, but it was the best thing I ever did.
“拒絕常規(guī)的畢業(yè)規(guī)劃，獨(dú)自創(chuàng)業(yè)是我人生中非常重要的一步，也是我做過的最好的選擇。”
