英语知识精要汇总（那些冷门的英语知识）

1. The most common letter in English is "e".

英语里最常见的字母是“e”。

2. The most common consonant in English is "r", followed by "t".

英语里最常见的辅音字母是“r”，接着是“t”。

3. Only two English words in current use end in "-gry". They are "angry" and "hungry".

当代英语只有“angry”和“hungry”两个单词是以“gry”结尾的。

4. The word "bookkeeper" (along with its associate "bookkeeping") is t-he only unhyphenated English word with three consecutive double lett-ers. Other such words, like "sweet-toothed", require a hyphen to be rea-dily readable.

“bookkeeper”这个单词（还有与之相关的“bookkeeping”）是唯一一个不带连字符、有三对连续重复字母的单词。还有一个类似的单词是“sweet-toothed”，但它需要用连字符连接以确保能读出来。

5. The word "triskaidekaphobia" means "extreme fear of the number 13". This superstition is related to "paraskevidekatriaphobia", which mea-ns "fear of Friday the 13th".

有个词叫“triskaidekaphobia”，意思是“对数字13的极度恐惧”。这种迷信也和“paraskevidekatriaphobia”这个词有关，意思是“害怕13号正好是礼拜五的那天”。

“QWERTY”键盘是以这种键盘的头六个字母命名的。人们还在用打字机的时候，这么安排字母顺序是为了减小印有字母的机械杆撞到一起的情况。
