跟着Gwen學英語之每日早讀 第798期

They hound people in this world. Anybody who's different. They can't stand it. Well, to hell with them.

語音講解

今日發音練習重點：

1. /aʊn/音素組合是難點。請聽示範：hound/bound/mount/count...

2. people in 連讀。應有“林”音

3. can和can't在美音中無法區分發音嗎？

言之有物

1. hound verb. 追蹤/糾纏/不斷騷擾

noun. 獵犬

hound用於引申義，可表示“有癖的人、對事物偏愛的人”。

a coffee hound 喝咖啡成癖的人

a movie hound 電影迷

詞鏈兒：XX can't stand it. XX受不了/無法忍受。

→受夠了 XX have/has had enough of it.
