今日發(fā)音練習(xí)重點(diǎn)：

1. bone的發(fā)音，演講者口音很重，不建議模仿

2. need/three/dream 都包含/i:/

3. backbone 中/k/失去爆破

言之有物

1.? ① wishbone noun. 許愿骨

? ? wishbone，是鳥(niǎo)類脖子上形狀像Y的一根骨頭。吃雞的時(shí)候會(huì)吃到。有一個(gè)古老風(fēng)俗，吃到這根骨頭時(shí)，兩個(gè)人要比賽，一人一頭一起扯，扯到長(zhǎng)一點(diǎn)骨頭的，就會(huì)有好運(yùn)氣，可以許下一個(gè)秘密愿望。所以wishbone被叫做“許愿骨”，或“如愿骨”。

? ? 這個(gè)風(fēng)俗的歷史，已有千年，可上溯到羅馬時(shí)期。人們用雞的這根鎖骨來(lái)占卜，以消災(zāi)祛魅。在近代，英國(guó)人把這項(xiàng)傳統(tǒng)帶到新大陸。美國(guó)人現(xiàn)在用火雞來(lái)當(dāng)“許愿骨”。拉扯火雞鎖骨，lucky break，成了一場(chǎng)火雞大餐上的重頭戲。

? ??

② backbone noun. 脊梁骨、骨氣、中堅(jiān)力量

He?doesn't?have?the?backbone?to?face?the?truth.?

他沒(méi)有面對(duì)現(xiàn)實(shí)的勇氣。

點(diǎn)擊跳轉(zhuǎn)回顧【It takes backbone to lead the life you want.】

backbone=spine/courage/guts

Emma, it's like you?don't have a?spine. Oh, wait. That's right.

艾瑪，就好像你是個(gè)軟骨頭。等等，對(duì)了。

It's going to take a lot of?backbone?and a lot of?courage?to stay home.

你是家中的脊梁骨，照顧好家庭需要很大的勇氣。

Dad, small farms are?the?backbone?of?America.

老爸，小型農(nóng)場(chǎng)是美國(guó)的支柱產(chǎn)業(yè)。

③ funny bone noun. 麻筋兒，鷹嘴突，是肘關(guān)節(jié)突出的那塊骨頭

肘關(guān)節(jié)以上的骨頭叫肱骨，英文名叫humerus，和humorous(搞笑、幽默的)讀音一樣，所以肘關(guān)節(jié)聽(tīng)起來(lái)很funny。

He?hit?his?funny?bone?on?the?arm?of?the?chair.?

他的尺骨神經(jīng)碰到了椅臂。

He?always?tickles?my?funny?bone?with?his?love?stories.?

他總是用他的愛(ài)情故事來(lái)逗我笑。

用法：tickle one's funny bone 撓笑骨癢癢，把某人逗笑

This guy has a direct line to my?funny bone.

他最能讓我發(fā)笑了。

To thrive in life, you need three bones: a?wishbone, a?backbone?and a?funny bone.

歌曲：《悲慘世界》主題曲?"I Dreamed a Dream"

I?dreamed?a?dream?in?times?gone?by

When?hope?was?high

And?life?worth?living

3. 詞鏈兒：enjoy the lighter side of life

享受生活中更為美好的一面

I'm?not?being?abusive?here,?but?trying?to?look?at?the?lighter?side?of?life.?
