CNN評選全球最性感12種口音
12. Argentine
12. 阿根廷口音
A historical refuge for Spaniards, Italians and Germans, the hyper-libidinous South American melting pot of Argentina has cultivated a proud, pouty tone. With its own pronunciation of Spanish letters (“ll” sounds like “shh”) and its own words (“you” is “vos”), this is a dialect that’s hard to get. (Or at least plays that way。)
作為曾經西班牙人、意大利人和德國人的避難地,阿根廷這個南美洲極其性感的“大熔爐”孕育出了一種抑揚頓挫的嗲音。由于結合了西班牙語(”ll”發成”shh”)和本族語(“you”為”vos”),阿根廷語至少在語音上顯得尤為獨特。
Sounds like: A tightly tuned guitar of G-strings strummed by a lamb shank。
聽覺感受:貌似一支溫柔彈奏的G調吉他曲。
11. Thai
11. 泰語
With five tones comprising their native speech, the traffickers of this often fragile accent turn any language into a song of seduction. Thai is largely monosyllabic, so multi-beat foreign words get extra emphases right up until the last letter, which is often left off, leaving the listener wanting more. (Or at least asking “Huh?” lustfully。)
泰語有五個聲調,小販清脆的叫賣聲能把任何話語唱成動聽的曲調。泰語通常是單音節的,字字鏗鏘、綿延至尾而后又戛然而止,使你懷疑話還沒說完,于是迫切追問一句:“這就完了?”
10. Trinidadian
10. 特立尼達口音
For fetishists of oddball sexuality, the Caribbean island of Trinidad offers an undulating, melodic gumbo of pan-African, French, Spanish, Creole and Hindi dialects that, when adapted for English, is sex on a pogo stick。
對那些崇尚性感的人而言,加勒比海的特立尼達島不僅遍布有大片美麗的秋葵,還融匯了非洲、法語、西班牙語、克里奧爾語和北印度語的各色方言。轉換成英語時,聽上去如同踩著彈簧單高蹺般性感。
Sounds like: A rubber life raft bobbing on a sea of steel drums。
聽覺感受:貌似一只橡皮艇蕩漾在無垠的鐵皮鼓面上。
