Question

世界上最长的英文单词是什么？有多长？怎么写？

单词意思一并附上。谢谢！

Answer 1

背英语单词这是每个小伙伴都经历过的事情吧？对于学霸而言，这点小小的事情，根本什么都不算。

Answer 2

如果是脑筋急转弯，答案是：
Smiles 因为中间是 mile 两边无限延长
---
如果是实际的单词，最长的是含1913个字母的单词
1913个字母，“色氨酸合成酶a蛋白质”（一种含有267种氨基酸酶）的化学名：

词典中可以查到的最长单词45个字母
pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis
[ \'nju:mEnEu ,vltrE-,maikrEs\' kCpik\'silikEvCl\'keinEu kEuni\'Eusis ]

意思：火山矽肺症

这个由45的字母所构成的单字，要在毫无规则可循的情况下，叫一个20岁以上，脑筋已经开始僵化的人记下来，实在非常困难。一般人看了只有猛摇头的份。所以，我们应该找出线索来帮助记忆。这个乍见十分冗长的单字，其实仔细观察可以发现是由几个部分构成。
pneumono …………「肺」
→ 这个单字可以衍生出pneumonia(肺炎)
ultra …………「超」
micro …………「微」
→ microscope(显微镜)
scopic …………「视」
silico …………「矽」→ silicon(矽)
volcano …………「火山」
coniosis …………「症」
只要将上述七个部分组合起来，就能了解这个字的字义，也就是「矽肺症

Answer 3

antidisestablishmentarian. 公认为最长的

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis 字典里最长的， 却没有被公认。

1-3楼三位似乎答案一模一样。。可惜那个单词并没有被公认为是最长的
