关于tuple的读音

水木上有个帖子讨论tuple这个词该怎么读，于是有人翻出来这个三年前的新闻组邮件
http://coding.derkeiler.com/Archive/Python/comp.lang.python/2006-02/msg01915.html
I used to pronounce it toople. But the people that taught me Python
found it both comical and confusing. At first they thought I meant a 2
element tuple. So they wondered if a 3 element tuple was a threeple,
etc. After much harrassing, I changed my wayward ways and pronounced
it tuhple to fit in with the cool Python guys.
Then we went to hear Guido speak about Python 2.2 at a ZPUG meeting in
Washington, DC. When he said toople I almost fell out of my chair
laughing, particularly because the people who taught me to say it the
“right” way were with me. When I looked over, they just hung their
head in shame.I work with Guido now and I’m conflicted. I’m still conditioned to say
tuhple. Whenever he says toople, I just get a smile on my face. I
think most of the PythonLabs guys pronounce it toople.
有意思，嘿嘿
我一直习惯把这个词读成/tʌpəl/，估计是受tunnel这个词的影响，然后查了下http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/tuple#Pronunciation_2 发现/tuːpəl/和/tʌpəl/都可以
