William Spooner
/ˌwɪljəm ˈspuːnə(r)/
/ˌwɪljəm ˈspuːnər/
- (1844-1930) an English clergyman (= a priest of the Church of England) and teacher at University. He was well known for his habit of accidentally changing round the first sounds of two or more words when he spoke, so that he might say 'the wrong liver' instead of 'the long river'. This type of phrase, which is often humorous, is called a spoonerism.
威廉·斯普纳(William Spooner):(1844-1930)英国牧师(英格兰教会的牧师)和牛津大学老师。他以习惯于在讲话时不停改变两个或两个以上单词的发音而闻名,因此他可能会说“错误的肝脏”而不是“漫长的河水”。这种短语通常很幽默,被称为“傻瓜主义”。
