CRI听力:UK Presenter Pronounces Europe's Longest Place Name on Air

2015-09-11来源:CRI

A weather presenter in the UK has become an internet sensation after successfully pulling-off the pronunciation of the longest place-name in Europe.

Channel-4's Liam Dutton took up the challenge while giving the weather forecast for northwestern Wales.

"Now today, we had a big contrast in temperature across the UK, just 12 degrees over coastal parts of Eastern England but with cloudy skies, but in the sunshine in Northwest Wales in RAF Mona just up the road from Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch the temperature got to 21 Celsius, at 70 in Fahrenheit."

The clip of Dutton's flawless pronunciation of the Welsh town has gone viral, with the video gaining over 2 million views in less than 24 hours.

The town's name, 58 letters long, has been a long-standing in-house challenge among media personalities in the UK.

Welsh celebrities, including actress Catherine Zeta Jones, have lauded Dutton's pronunciation.
