露西小姐姐一口氣教人用英語讀包括“華為”在內(nèi)的11個(gè)品牌：
華為
Huawei
huah-wey
露西聽到過很多不同的發(fā)音，正確的應(yīng)該是hua-wey。
Despite beginning with an A, the software brand actually starts with an 'uh' sound and has a silent 'e' on the end. In the video that's had nearly 100,000k views she says that the name is pronounced 'uh-doh-be' and not 'Ad-o-bee'.
Adobe
uh-doh-be
露西說，很多人把它錯(cuò)誤讀成Ad-o-bee，正確的則是uh-doh-be。
The pronunciation of Swedish brand IKEA often trips people up, but it's Ee-kay-uh rather than Eye-kee-ah. Lucy, who has had 60 million views on her video channel says that Brits always get the pronunciation wrong.
宜家
Ikea
ee-kay-uh
大多數(shù)英國人都會(huì)把Ikea讀成eye-kee-ah，正確的是ee-kay-uh。
Another hard one to pronounce is Miele - Lucy has heard 'lots of different pronunciations' for the brand but the correct way to say is is Mee-l(uh), not 'Me-la'. But she admitted to previously saying it wrong herself, pronouncing it 'meer-lay'.
美諾
Miele
mee-l(uh)
這個(gè)品牌露西本人以前也讀錯(cuò)了，讀成meer-lay。很多人會(huì)讀成'Me-la'。
If you're lucky enough to own a Tag Heuer watch, then you want to be sure that you're saying the name of your expensive time piece correctly . She said the Swiss watch company is actually pronounced 'tag haw-yuh'.
泰格豪雅
Tag Heuer
tag hawyuh
如果你有幸擁有一塊泰格豪雅手表，那一定記住它的正確發(fā)音。
It's Bosch with a silent 'ch'. According to Lucy many of us are guilty of pronouncing brand names in a foreign language exactly as they're spelled. Lucy said that the home appliances company is merely just 'bosh'.
博世
Bosch
直接讀 bosh
記住ch不發(fā)音。
The pronunciation expert, who started her channel in 2016, went on to reveal the proper way to pronounce Sega. Lucy said: 'I have very happy memories of playing these games as a kid. It's a Japanese brand and its should be 'seh-gah' - I always thought it was 'sega' - wrong.'
世嘉
Sega
seh-gah
露西從小就玩Sega游戲，但以前一直發(fā)錯(cuò)音。
The computer brand Asus is one of the more confusing brand names for people to get the hang of. Lucy admitted she herself was shocked to find out the right way to say it. 'It's actually pronounced 'ei-zooss' not 'a-sus',' she said.
華碩
Asus
ei-zooss
這是發(fā)音最難的一個(gè)品牌。很多人直接就讀作a-sus，但實(shí)際卻是ei-zooss。
Some of us probably own a Samsung laptop of mobile phone - but are you pronouncing it right? Lucy revealed that another one that that Brits get wrong is Samsung, which is actually pronounced 'Sam-song', despite having a 'u' in the spelling.
三星
Samsung
sam-song
因?yàn)槭艿絬的誤導(dǎo)，很多英國人會(huì)讀錯(cuò)Sansung。
Another watch brand we may be saying wrong - even though she said most of us pronounce Casio just likes its written she said the Japanese electronics company is actually said 'Kash-ee-oh'.
卡西歐
Casio
kash-ee-oh
這是個(gè)看似很容易發(fā)音的品牌，但實(shí)際并非如此。
Last on her list was French brand Rolex, which actually has a rolling R to emphasis that the brand is French. The watch brand is actually pronounced '(r)o-lex' making it sound even more posh than it already is.
勞力士
Rolex
(r)o-lex
最后一個(gè)就是Rolex，這里的r是大舌顫音，給人一種高端的感覺。
