7.15 早讀原文

We do strange things for the people we love. We lie to them. We lie for them. There may be some bumps along the way. But we never stop wanting the best for them.

今日發(fā)音練習重點：

1. strange 包含易錯音組/e?n/；

2. wanting 美音中可發(fā)成 /?wɑ?nt???/ 或 /?wɑ?n??/， /t/可彈舌，也可以略去不發(fā)；

3. to和for兩詞起對比作用，因此for尤其要重讀。
