趣味英语：10个你不知道的英语趣事
英语的普及率虽然全球第一,但即使是母语为英语的英国人、美国人，也不见得熟知英语中一些十分有趣的地方。俄罗斯《真理报》8日就报道了十大英语趣事： 1.英语单词成千上万，但只有“bookkeeper”（记账人）是具有连续3个双字母排列的单词。
2.英语中有6个元音字母a.e.i.o.u.y（半元音），但“defenselessness”(无防备）和“respectlessness”(不尊重）却是最长的只含有一个元音字母的两个单词，那就是元音字母e，并且这两个单词都有15个字母。
3.“almost”（几乎）是唯一一个几个字母按字母表顺序排列的常用单词。
4.“honorificabilitudinitatibus”是最长的按一个辅音字母跟一个元音字母的顺序排列的单词，共有27个字母。这个单词出现在大文豪莎士比亚的剧本《空爱一场》里，意思是“不胜光荣”。
5.在牛津音域大词典中，“antidisestablishmentarianism”反对教会与国家分开学说）曾经本认为是最长的单词，但被译为“硅酸盐沉着病”的医学术语"pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanokoniosis"现在则被认为是最长的单词，到底有多少个字母，自己数一数吧，只是读起来会很费劲。
