"Stewardesses" is the longest word typed with only the left hand.
"女空服員"這個字是單用左手打字最長的一個單字。

And "lollipop" is the longest word typed with your right hand.
而 "棒棒糖"這個字是用右手打最長的一個單字。
(Bet you tried this out mentally, didn't you?)

No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange,
silver, or purple.
英文中沒有單字是和 "month"、"orange"、"silver"或"purple"押韻的。

"Dreamt" is the only English word that ends in the letters "mt". ?
"dreamt" 是英文裡唯一以"mt" 為字尾的單字。
(Are you doubting this?)

Our eyes are always the same size from birth, but our nose and ears
never stop growing .
我們的眼睛從出生以來就是這樣的大小,但我們的鼻子和耳朵卻都有變大。

The sentence: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"
uses every letter of the alphabet.
有句話" 那隻敏捷的棕色狐狸躍過那隻懶狗",句中用到了所有的英文字母。
(Now, you KNOW you're going to try this out for accuracy, right?)

The words 'racecar,' 'kayak' and 'level ' are the same whether they
are read left to right or right to left (palindromes).
"racecar賽車"、"kayak愛斯基摩小船"和"level等級"
這三個單字是所謂的(迴文)字,不管從左邊讀或從右邊讀都一樣。
(Yep, I knew you were going to "do" this one.)

There are only four words in the English language which end in
"dous": tremendous, horrendous, stupendous, and hazardous.
英文單字中只有四個是以dous為字尾的字:
tremendous巨大的、 horrendous可怕的、stupendous驚人的、hazardous有危險的。

(You're not doubting this, are you?)

There are two words in the English language that have all five vowels
in order: "abstemious" and "facetious."
英文單字中有兩個是包含五個母音且按照順序的:
"abstemious"有節制的和"facetious滑稽的。
(Yes, admit it, you are going to say, a e i o u)

TYPEWRITER is the longest word that can be made using the letters
only on one row of the keyboard.
"Typewriter"打字機這個單字是在鍵盤上只用同一排的字母所能打出的最長單字。
(All you typists are going to test this out)

Now you know more than you did before!
