歪果仁學(xué)中文時(shí)，總是躲不過繞口令挑戰(zhàn)。

近年來，隨著漢語熱的興起，基本上每個(gè)漢語學(xué)習(xí)者都能說出一段入門級(jí)的中文繞口令。比如，“四是四，十是十”，或者“吃葡萄不吐葡萄皮”。

可是學(xué)了這么多年英語的你挑戰(zhàn)過英文繞口令嗎？

據(jù)《每日郵報(bào)》報(bào)道，荷蘭詩人Gerard Nolst Trenité在1922年創(chuàng)作了一首名為《混亂》（The Chaos）的詩，并放話稱：

Only a true master of the English language can pronounce all the words in this poem.
只有真正精通英語的人才能讀出這首詩里的所有單詞。

這段英文繞口令的起始難度比較簡(jiǎn)單，可是越往后讀，難度就會(huì)逐漸升級(jí)。

甚至連一些英語為母語的挑戰(zhàn)者都表示讀到后面，整個(gè)人都不好了。有人最后干脆放棄。

那么你敢迎接挑戰(zhàn)嗎？（視頻中有示范哦~）

Dearest creature in creation,

Study English pronunciation.

I will teach you in my verse

Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse.

I will keep you, Suzy, busy,

Make your head with heat grow dizzy.

Tear in eye, your dress will tear.

So shall I! Oh hear my prayer.

Pray, console your loving poet,

Make my coat look new, dear, sew it!

Just compare heart, beard, and heard,

Dies and diet, lord and word, Sword and sward, retain and Britain.

(Mind the latter, how it's written.)

Now I surely will not plague you

With such words as plaque and ague.

But be careful how you speak:

Say break and steak, but bleak and streak;

Cloven, oven, how and low,

Script, receipt, show, poem, and toe.

Hear me say, devoid of trickery,

Daughter, laughter, and Terpsichore,

Typhoid, measles, topsails, aisles,

Exiles, similes, and reviles;

Scholar, vicar, and cigar,

Solar, mica, war and far;

One, anemone, Balmoral,

Kitchen, lichen, laundry, laurel;

Gertrude, German, wind and mind,

Scene, Melpomene, mankind.

Billet does not rhyme with ballet,

Bouquet, wallet, mallet, chalet.

Blood and flood are not like food,

Nor is mould like should and would.

Viscous, viscount, load and broad,

Toward, to forward, to reward.

And your pronunciation's OK

When you correctly say croquet,

Rounded, wounded, grieve and sieve,

Friend and fiend, alive and live.

Ivy, privy, famous; clamour

And enamour rhyme with hammer.

River, rival, tomb, bomb, comb,

Doll and roll and some and home.

Stranger does not rhyme with anger,

Neither does devour with clangour.

Souls but foul, haunt but aunt,

Font, front, wont, want, grand, and grant,

Shoes, goes, does. Now first say finger,

And then singer, ginger, linger,

Real, zeal, mauve, gauze, gouge and gauge,

Marriage, foliage, mirage, and age.

Compare alien with Italian,

Dandelion and battalion.

Sally with ally, yea, ye,

Eye, I, ay, aye, whey, and key.

Say aver, but ever, fever,

Neither, leisure, skein, deceiver.

Heron, granary, canary.

Crevice and device and aerie.

Pronunciation -- think of Psyche!

Is a paling stout and spikey?

Won't it make you lose your wits,

Writing groats and saying grits?

It's a dark abyss or tunnel:

Strewn with stones, stowed, solace, gunwale,

Islington and Isle of Wight,

Housewife, verdict and indict.

Finally, which rhymes with enough --

Though, through, plough, or dough, or cough?

Hiccough has the sound of cup.

My advice is to give up!!!
