  PARASTRATIOSPHECOMYIA STRATIOSPHECOMYIOIDES

  水虻

  The longest accepted binomial construction, at 42 letters, is a species of soldier fly native to Thailand.

  Parastratiosphecomyia sphecomyioides是英语中公认的最长(生物学)二种名称结构,包含42个字母,指的是一种源自泰国的水虻。

  PSEUDOPSEUDOHYPOPARATHYROIDISM

  假性甲状旁腺功能减退

  This 30-letter thyroid disorder is the longest non-coined word to appear in a major dictionary.

  这种甲状腺功能紊乱病症的英文名由30个字母组成,是主流字典中收录的最长非杜撰词。

  FLOCCINAUCINIHILIPILIFICATION

  轻蔑

  By virtue of having one more letter than antidisestablishmentarianism, this is the longest non-technical English word. A mash-up of five Latin roots, it refers to the act of describing something as having little or no value. While it made the cut in the Oxford English Dictionary, Merriam-Webster volumes refuse to recognize it, chalking up its existence to little more than linguistic ephemera.

  这个单词凭借“一字之差”,超过antidisestablishmentarianism(反对教会与国家分开学说),成为最长的非技术性英语单词。它由5个拉丁语词根组成,用来形容认为某件事物没有什么价值。虽然这个单词被《牛津英语词典》收录,但《韦氏词典》却将其拒之门外,因为它在英语中不过是一个“昙花一现”的单词。
