English Accents的意思|示意

Germans, Belgians and French people would stand up and, in monotones and distracting accents, read out speeches that sounded as if they'd been turned into English by computers.

德国人、比利时人和法国人站起来后，就用平板的语调，朗读仿佛是用机器翻译成英语的演讲稿。他们的口音让人不知所云。

One can imagine an objection: even if non-standard, these are native English accents, and different in class than a foreign accent in English.

有人会持异议，这我们可以想象得出：就算不标准，这些都是以英语为母语的口音，在课堂上和带有外国口音的英语是不一样的。

So we have one mistake, one pronunciation that is common to many English accents, and two or three pronunciations that are markedly Hispanic, but hardly impossible to understand.

因此，这里只有一个错误，它是一个好多英语口音里都常见的发音，有两三个明显是西班牙裔美国人的发音，但也不是听不懂。

However, if you sort the same words using a collator created for English, words are sorted as if accents were ignored - desired behavior if you have few foreign words in English text.

不过，如果使用针对英语创建的一个collator来排序相同的单词，那么这些单词的排序就好像这些重音符号不存在一样—如果在英文中夹杂着几个外文单词，那么这是一个很理想的结果。

Even so, on a scale where 10 was most truthful, native English speakers got a score of 7.5, people with mild accents a score of 6.95 and people with heavy accents a score of 6.84.

10分代表非常可信，即便在被告知的情况下，实验者依然为土生土长的美国人打7.5分，带有轻微口音的人得6.95分，而带有浓重口音的人6.84分。

Before you listen, think about all the different English accents you have encountered.

在你听之前，想一下你碰到过的所有不同的英语口语。
