学英语那么多年，你肯定有被奇奇怪怪的英语气到过。可能你觉得“没有啊，我觉得英语很美好“——那么很抱歉，今天我就要来打破你的幻想哈哈哈
You probably already know this, but English is a strange, strange language. If you think it"s not, then I"m sorry, but your bubble is about to be burst.
大家都知道，英语的口语和写作有着成千上万条规则，烦人的是，有时候这些规则还有偏偏有些例外。更更更烦的是：个别单词和短语还专门打破一些规律，真的让人混乱且崩溃！
There are a ton of rules to speaking and writing in English, but sometimes it"s the exception to those rules that are even more annoying. Even worse, there are some words and phrases that defy any sort of metric and only exist to bring us anarchy and chaos.
今天就让我来盘点一下
5个令人费解抓狂的英语现象
01
“Wednesday”的拼写也太奇葩了吧！
“星期三” Wednesday 如果真的按发音规则的话，其实应该写成 Wendsday不是吗？
The word "Wednesday" is spelled the way that it is and it really shouldn"t be.
说说看你这辈子有没有把这个单词拼错过
你看，N和D就该换个位置，把第二个E也干脆去掉。不然求求你找个人跟我解释解释干嘛这样拼，根本说不通啊！咱们能不能现在改改，虽然要一段时间适应，但是皆大欢喜嘛！
The "n" and the "d" should switch places, and get that middle "e" out of there. Please, someone explain that to them. Can"t we change it now? It would take some getting used to, but I think we"d all be happier.
02
字母完全相同，发音居然不一样？！
来看一组单词发音：heart、beard、heard 中间拼写都是 -ear，但是发音能完全不一样？！
"Heart," "beard," and "heard" all have different vowel sounds even though they have the same vowels.
heart/hɑrt/
beard/brd/
heard/hd/
有太多这样的情况了，明明元音都长一样，发音却不同。单词就该按写的来发嘛是不是？
There are so many instances like this, where the same vowels make different sounds based on the letters they have on either side. Words should look how they sound!
03
一句话里连着出现“that that”、“had had”
这种语法是在耍我吗！！
英语语法里居然能接受一句话里 that that 和 had had 连着存在？！
Both "that that" and "had had" are acceptable within the rules of English grammar.
看看这是什么句子？
欢迎语法小能手来评论区教教大家！
无语，全世界还有什么语言如此之怪的？
Is there any other language in the world that does this?
04
既然有的字母不用发音，还出现干嘛啊？
英语单词里有那么多字母不发音吗？…简直太多了吧！
The amount of English words that contain silent letters is simply...too many.
真的有必要存在吗？dumb里的b真的必要存在吗？February如果去掉第一个r也没什么吧？Yacht里面最后2个字母完全就是空气啊。字母表里几乎每个字母都有特定情况下不发音的例子，然后你还得全部都记住（白眼）
What is the need? Does "dumb" really need that "b"? Would "February" miss that first "r" if we took it away? "Yacht" has two whole letters that are just there for decoration. Almost every letter of the alphabet has rules about which words use it silently, and you"re just supposed to remember them all.
05
这下倒好，拼写不同发音却一样了？？！
开头说了，元音拼写相同，发音却大不同。咱们再来看看这个：
三个词，长得不同，拼得不同
都读/ven/，服啦！
太多次是拼写完全不同，但是发音却一样……
There are too many words that are spelled differently but sound the same.
如果你说你不曾混淆过 their/they"re/there，vain/vein/vane，lie/lye，我才不信呢！
You"re telling me there was no way for us to avoid the debacle that is their/they"re/there, lie/lye, and vane/vain/vein? I don"t believe you.
总而言之
英语真的太奇奇怪怪了啦
In conclusion:
English is weird, guys.
