词组 | government |
释义 | government Both government and environment are often pronounced with varying degrees of compression, reaching as far as \\\\'gəm-int\\\\ and \\\\in-'vīr-mint\\\\. But even educated speakers speaking slowly are likely to omit the n before the m, and this pronunciation must be considered standard. Our files bristle with professors and senators saying \\\\'gəv-ər-mənt\\\\ and \\\\en-'vī-rə-mənt\\\\. One accordingly runs across the misspellings goverment and enviroment from time to time; gover-ment is even listed in the OED as an "obsolete form" of government. Recalling the connection with govern and environs will immunize you against such spelling errors. |
