CNN选全球最性感12种口音 意大利口音登顶

2011-12-16来源:新浪
  6. Irish

  6.爱尔兰口音

  Valued slightly more in men than in women, the Irish brogue is a lilting, lyrical articulation that’s charming, if not exotic. Fluid and uplifting, it can swing from vulnerable to threatening over the course of a sentence, restoring your faith in the world again … right before it stabs you with a broken bottle top。

  爱尔兰男人的语音更有磁性。爱尔兰语轻快活泼、情意绵绵,即便算不上奇异曼妙,也可谓魅力十足。爱尔兰语流畅如水、振奋人心,可以把你从脆弱深处唤醒,重燃生活的信心……当然,有时它也会触痛你的心扉。

  Sounds like: A marauding pixie。

  听觉感受:是个劫掠的小精灵!

  5. Nigerian

  5.尼日利亚口音

  Dignified, with just a hint of willful naivete, the deep, rich “oh’s” and “eh’s” of Naija bend the English language without breaking it, arousing tremors in places other languages can’t reach. Kinda makes the occasional phone scam worth the swindle。

  不必作出任何变通,只需一丁点儿狡黠的天真,非凡的尼日利亚语便能用蕴意深远的“oh’s”或“eh’s”勾起你独一无二的共鸣。就算是被电话诈骗,也值了。

  Sounds like: The THX intro with teeth。

  听觉感受:貌似在咬着舌头说话。

  4. Czech

  4.捷克口音

  Like Russian, without the nettlesome history of brutal, iron-fisted despotism, Czech is a smoky, full-bodied vocal style that goes well with most meats. Murky and mysterious, the Bohemian tone is equal parts carnal desire and carnival roustabout。

  同俄语一样,若没有恼人的残暴专政历史,捷克语也算得上浑厚、直爽,一切都还说得过去。不过,这种晦涩神秘的波西米亚腔调也蕴含了俗世欲望和脚夫气息。

  Sounds like: Count Dracula, secret agent。

  听觉感受:貌似吸血鬼伯爵和特务的声音。

  3. Spanish

  3.西班牙口音

  Sensual and beckoning, but with the passion to unleash hell kept just barely restrained, Castilian is like a dialectic Hoover Dam. But then there’s the lisp. Tender, vulnerable and cute as a baby’s hangnail -- no one owns the “th” sound formed by tongue and teeth like those who speak the language of Cervantes。

  西班牙古国Castilian就像一座矛盾的胡佛水坝:性感诱人,欲以解禁勉强受管制的“洪水猛兽”。但西班牙语却饶舌、温柔、细微,恰似婴儿手上的倒刺般娇嫩——再也没有人能像这群塞万提斯后代这样,在齿颊间完美发出“th”音。

  Sounds Like: An outboard motor on Lake Paella。

  听觉感受:貌似帕艾拉湖上的舷外马达声。

  2. French

  2.法国口音

  The demotion of this perennial prizewinner of global brogues to second place may illustrate the declining sexuality of Old World petulance. Still, the come-hither condescension and fiery disinterest of the French tongue remains paradoxically erotic。

  这门多年以来一直独占鳌头的语言屈降第二,也恰恰表示旧世纪的性感准则已不再时兴。不过,就算“屈尊俯就”、“有所冷淡”,法语也仍在散发不可抵挡的魅力。

  Sounds like: A 30-year-old teenager。

  听觉感受:这是一个30妙龄的轻熟女。

  1. Italian

  1.意大利语

  Raw, unfiltered and as grabby to ears as its president is to rears, the Italian accent is a vowel that reflects the spectrum of Italic experience: the fire of its bellicose beginnings … the romance of the Renaissance … the dysfunction of anything resembling a government since Caesar. Insatiable, predatory and possessive, this is sex as a second language。

  原始本真、绵延动听——意大利语是意大利方方面面的折射:烟火弥漫的战争年代,文艺复兴的浪漫岁月,抑或自凯撒以来的种种社会残态。一直渴求占有、永不满足现状——这就是意大利语的“性感”。

  Sounds like: A Ferrari saxophone。

  听觉感受:一只奏鸣的法拉利萨克斯管。
