Yanny Laurel之争

Yanny or Laurel debate

A short audio clip is completely puzzling the world and pitting friend against friend in the online debate. What is the voice saying – is it Yanny or is it Laurel?

一段音频让全世界的人彻底陷入困惑，并在网上引发了朋友间的撕X大战。这段音频的争论点是——这到底是Yanny还是Laurel?

Some people think they hear the word "Laurel" while others are convinced it says "Yanny." It's the most perplexing phenomenon since the great dress debate of 2015.

有人认为自己听到的是“Laurel”，而有人觉得听到的是“Yanny”。这是2015年的“裙子之争”后最令人费解的现象。

"Yanny or Laurel" took the internet by storm after a Reddit user posted the short clip of a word being read out loud, asking fellow Reddit users a simple question: What do you hear? The clip was posted a few days ago, and now hundreds of thousands of people are engaged in a debate over what they hear，even celebrities like Ellen DeGeneres and JJ Watt were talking about it.
这段音频录下了一个单词的发音，一名Reddit新闻网用户将其上传到网上，并发起一个简单的问题“你听到的是什么”，随后“Yanny还是Laurel”迅速风靡互联网。这段音频上传几天后就有数十万人陷入了争论，就连艾伦·德杰尼勒斯、贾斯汀·詹姆斯·瓦特这样的明星大腕也加入了讨论。

Wired magazine solved part of the mystery Wednesday when it revealed the origins of the audio recording in question. Katie Hetzel, a freshman at Flowery Branch High School in Georgia, had a question about one of her vocabulary words, "laurel." "She looked it up on Vocabulary.com, and played the audio. Instead of the word in front of her, she heard 'yanny.'" Wired reports.

5月16日，连线杂志追根溯源，为这个争论解开了一些谜团。据连线杂志报道，美国佐治亚州Flowery Branch高中的高一学生Katie Hetzel对词典中的“laurel”一词不太了解，于是就上Vocabulary.com网站查词并且点击了播放。但她听到的不是“laurel”，而是“Yanny”。

Didi said its broader offering would also be revamped, with a facial recognition test for drivers every day and a redesigned emergency help button that shares trip information with users' emergency contacts. Those measures will be implemented by May 31, the company said.
