还记得前几天因高考延期而频上热搜的安徽歙县吗？
初看新闻，安徽什么县？认字念半边那就读xī县？
正确读音是：歙[shè]县。不读xī也不读hé。
类似这样让人踌躇再三还是读错的地名根本不在少数，双语君（微信ID：Chinadaily_Mobile）总结了几类。来挑战一下！
涪陵
fú líng
去年，台湾“名嘴”黄世聪就把涪陵读错，说大陆人现在“连‘培’陵榨菜都吃不起”，引发网友群嘲。
Fuling district in Southwest China's Chongqing municipality is China's leading producer of pickled mustard tubers. Fuling pickles have been exported to more than 50 countries and regions, including Russia, Japan, Singapore and South Africa.
涪陵位于中国西南部的重庆市，是国内主要的榨菜生产地。涪陵榨菜远销至俄罗斯、日本、新加坡和南非等五十多个国家和地区。
不只榨菜，涪陵还因一本“外国人看中国”的非虚构作品而出名。
美国作家何伟（彼得?海斯勒）的“中国三部曲”之一《江城》（River Town）讲述了他在长江边的小城涪陵支教的经历，用外国人视角讲述中国经验，这种错置感尤为别致。
蚌埠
bèng bù
Its name means \"Oyster Wharf\" in Chinese, echoing its former reputation as a freshwater pearl fishery.
“蚌埠”的字面意思是“牡蛎码头”，这也与它以前作为淡水珍珠渔业产地的美誉相呼应。
亳州
bó zhōu
Bozhou is known as the \"Chinese medicinal capital\". The famous herbalist Hua Tuo, created the first \"medicine garden\" in Bozhou, and the skill of herb-raising has since been passed down from generation to generation.
亳州被誉为“中华药都”，著名医药学家华佗在此建立了第一个“药圃”。此后，草药种植技术绵延不止，流传至今。
除此以外，还有下面这些，你读对了吗？
念错地名这种烦恼当然不只是中国人才有，英语世界的地名常常跟直觉里的读音不同。
在英国这类有迷惑性的地名特别多。

圣何塞
San Jose

也有许多外国网友在美版知乎Quora发问：Why is San Jose pronounced as San Hose?
一条高赞评论这样解释：San Jose这座城市是用西班牙语命名的，而西语中，字母J的发音类似[h]。
所以，周杰伦新歌Mojito的发音并不是“莫吉托”，而是[m??hi?t??]。
伊利诺伊

Illinois isn't the version of the name; rather, it is the French pronunciation of the original word. The word Illinois is derived from the Native American word 'iliniwok' or 'illiniwek', which literally means 'best people'.
