爱尔兰口音获评全球“最性感口音”
Irish accent beats French as world&aposs sexiest
�
�
The Irish accent has beaten its French counterpart as the world&aposs sexiest, thanks to stars like Colin Farrell and James Nesbitt.
�
Men with an Emerald Isle brogue came top in a poll of 5,000 women worldwide, while the French accent only came fourth, just ahead of Australian.
�
Italian, the native language of stars such as jockey Frankie Dettori, was second.
�
In third place was the Scottish burr, made famous by actor Sean Connery.
�
English was sixth and Swedish was seventh, with Spanish, Welsh and American completing the top 10.
�
A spokesman for www.aoji.cn which carried out the international survey, blamed French president Nicolas Sarkozy for the French accent&aposs fall from grace.
�
"The French accent is nowhere near as popular as it used to be," he said.
�
"You can probably blame Nicolas Sarkozy for that, he has single-handedly changed the perception of how the world sees French men.
�
"It is good news for the Irish that they have come top, they have been in and around the top five for years now.
�
"But high-profile stars such as Colin Farrell have helped bring the accent more to the fore."
�
The study also found three fifths of women admitted they had been seduced by someone purely because of their accent, while two fifths said they would much rather sleep with a man who had a nice accent, compared to a harsh one.

日前,爱尔兰口音(点击收听)击败法国口音,获评全球最性感口音。这都要归功于柯林•法瑞尔和詹姆斯•内斯比特等明星。
�
这项有关口音的民调共对全球五千名女性进行了调查。其中,说爱尔兰语的男性最受女性青睐。法国口音仅名列第四,排在澳大利亚口音之前。
�
意大利口音名列第二。代表明星包括职业赛马骑师弗兰基•德托等。
�
以“小舌音”为主要特点的苏格兰口音位列第三,这主要归功于男星肖恩•康纳利。

英格兰口音名列第六,瑞典口音位居第七。排在前十位的还包括西班牙口音、威尔士口音和美国口音。
�
开展该全球调查的www.aoji.cn网站的一名发言人称,法国口音“失宠”的“罪魁祸首”是总统尼古拉•萨科奇。
�
他说:“法国口音远不如原来那么受欢迎了。”
�
“你可以怪尼古拉•萨科奇。仅因为他一个人的不足,就改变了全世界对法国男人的看法。”
�
“此次爱尔兰口音登上榜首对于爱尔兰人来说是个好消息。这些年来,爱尔兰口音一直排在前五名左右。”
�
“但柯林•法瑞尔等一些著名明星也是让爱尔兰口音人气增长的重要原因。”

调查还发现,五分之三的女性坦称,自己曾仅仅因为某位男士的口音而被对方吸引。五分之二的女性称,与口音难听的男士相比,她们更愿意和口音好听的男士上床。
