Top of the list is the name of an English county (and a great British condiment), which although pronounced 'wuss-ter-sheer' seems to confound most non-English speakers when they attempt it.
榜首是一個英國城鎮的名字（也是大不列顛調料）——雖然發音爲“wuss-ter-sheer”，但這麼發音好像把大部分非母語是英語的人搞糊塗了。
While 'squirrel' proves particularly tricky for Germans.

Of course, we've all had our embarrassing slips when attempting to pronounce unfamiliar more mortifying, perhaps, than John Travolta's linguistic misstep at the 2014 Oscars, where he pronounced Frozen star Idina Menzel's name as: 'Adele Dazeem', for the entire world to let's not forget Benedict Cumberbatch, the Oscar-nominated British thespian who famously recorded an entire voiceover for a 2009 BBC nature documentary pronouncing the word 'penguin' as 'peng-wing'.
當然，試着去念不熟的單詞，我們都會有很多很尷尬的過失。也許，沒有比約翰·特拉沃爾塔在2014年的奧斯卡上的發音錯誤更丟人的，全世界的人都知道他把伊迪娜·門澤爾的名字念成了阿黛爾·達奇姆。我們也別忘了本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇，獲得奧斯卡提名的英國著名演員，在2009年英國廣播公司自然紀錄片上把單詞'penguin'讀成了'peng-wing'。
