Lisa Alamia was born and raised in Texas, but she speaks with a British accent. KHOU.com reported that the mother of three began speaking differently six months ago after undergoing jaw surgery to correct an overbite (覆咬合).
“People who don’t know me, they’re like, ‘Hey, where are you from?’” Lisa Alamia, of Rosenberg, Tex., told the news station. “I’m from Rosenberg. They’re like, ‘Where is that?’ I’m like, ‘Right here in Rosenberg.’ ‘Oh, you’re from here? How do you talk like that?’ So that’s where the whole story comes up.”
KHOU reported that Alamia was diagnosed (诊断) with foreign accent syndrome (综合症) (FAS), a rare neurological (神经性的) disorder that scientists estimate has affected fewer than 100 people in 100 years.
“I didn’t know the reaction I was going to get from people,” Alamia told the news station of her new voice. “So I didn’t know if they’re going to judge me. Are they going to think I’m lying or even understand how I’m speaking?”
