正確的英文串法重要嗎?
Is the Letter Ordering in English Important?
最近在網上看到一個有趣的留言,請先看一下以下一段文字:
Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.
要理解嗎?
這段字正確的串法應是:
According to a researcher (sic) at Cambridge University, it doesn't matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only important thing is that the first and last letter be at the right place. The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without problem. This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself but the word as a whole.
驚訝地發現原來人的腦真是這麼利害,唔講真係唔知,那些研究真是令人眼界大開。
正想深入了解多一點,在google裡卻有另一驚人發現 - 這個研究並不是出於英國的劍橋大學!
跟據英國劍橋的網頁https://www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/people/matt.davis/cmabridge/ 這最早由University of Nottingham, Nottingham UK的Dr. Rawlinson於1976年研究,可時變成劍橋大學出品就不得而知了。
網絡世界上的東西真真假假,那些半真半假的令人混亂,有時只能靠Google大神幫手分別。
話轉回來,新的研究(那真是劍橋的出品)指出除了頭尾字重要還有其他因數影響,例如換了位置的遠近,換了位後會不會成為另一個字(e.g. salt, slat)。想知更多就自己去上面劍橋的網頁看看。

麥當勞開心樂園餐玩具 The Toys of McDonalds' Happy Meal List
麥當勞開心樂園餐玩具
The Toys of McDonalds' Happy Meal List
去麥當勞食開心樂園餐會包一件小玩具,這些小玩具多是配合電影電玩的宣傳,玩具的造型特別,有些可玩性很高,有時亦會加上餐廳的代表人物或圖案,所以對小朋友甚至大人都有一定給引力。
現時收集了一些玩具,過了一會就忘了那個是何時得來,所以在這裡留下一點記錄。而這個Post會keep住Update.
