　　世界英文拼字季軍不會英文

　　Thai wordsmith Komol Panyasophonlert, 31, is one of the world's best scrabble players and ranked third in the world after memorising 90 per cent of the entire language.

　　31歲的泰國語言大師Komol Panyasophonlert，是當今世界上最好的拼字游戲玩家之一，他在記住90%的英文單詞后拼字游戲排名世界第三。

　　He learned how to play from a tatty handbook he found lying around at home when he was 14 and trains by reading the dictionary for six hours a day.

　　他14歲時在家中發現一本破舊的手冊，因此學會了怎么玩拼字游戲。他通過每天在家讀上六小時的字典練習。

　　But remarkably, Komol can only utter a handful of words in broken English, can't string a sentence together and relies on Google Translate for written communication.

　　不過值得一提的是，Komol只會說一點不標準的英文單詞，連一個句子也串不起來，并且需要依靠谷歌翻譯來做筆頭溝通。

　　He said: 'Scrabble is more about logic, memory, maths and being able to outsmart your opponent.

　　他表示：“拼字游戲更多的是考驗邏輯、記憶、數學和比對手聰明的能力。”

　　'Plus, I train hard. Before competitions I spend all my free time reading the dictionary. In bed, in the bathroom, on the train - nearly every waking moment.'“

　　再者，我努力訓練。每次比賽前我用所有的空閑時間讀字典。在床上、廁所里、火車上——幾乎所有走動的時候我都會用來讀字典。

　　不過這篇《每日郵報》的報道，卻讓Komol本人不能認同。原來Komol選擇筆頭交流是另有原因，并非一點英語都不能說……

　　“Ok. it's time to defend myself. These are what I answered the journalist that made him think I used Google translate [sic],” Komol wrote on Facebook.

　　Komol在臉書上聲明：“行，是時候為我自己正名了。這是我當時怎么回復那名記者的，也就是這回復讓他認為我用了谷歌翻譯。呵呵。”

　　In their conversation, Komol only suggested that it would be easier to respond via Facebook messages to give detailed answers. It did not say his reason was because he couldn’t speak English. So basically, Komol was doing the guy a favor to ensure he got his story.

　　在對話中，Komol只是建議通過臉書消息來溝通能更容易給出詳細的答復。這并不能成為他不會說英語的理由。因而實際上，Komol當時是確保讓那名記者能聽懂他的故事。

　　Thais use English as a foreign language, and common Thai schools focus on teaching the students written English and grammar, rather than speaking skills. Therefore, some Thais may not have too much experience with casual conversation or need time to think about how they should arrange a sentence when they speak English.

　　英文被泰國人當做一門外語，而普通的泰國學校重視英文的筆頭和語法教學，口頭技巧卻少有重視。因而一些泰國人也許沒有很多日常對話的經驗�；蚴钦f，他們在說英語時，會需要一些時間來組織語言。
