今日发音练习重点:
1. bone的发音,演讲者口音很重,不建议模仿
2. need/three/dream 都包含/i:/
3. backbone 中/k/失去爆破
言之有物
1. ① wishbone noun. 许愿骨
wishbone,是鸟类脖子上形状像Y的一根骨头。吃鸡的时候会吃到。有一个古老风俗,吃到这根骨头时,两个人要比赛,一人一头一起扯,扯到长一点骨头的,就会有好运气,可以许下一个秘密愿望。所以wishbone被叫做“许愿骨”,或“如愿骨”。
这个风俗的历史,已有千年,可上溯到罗马时期。人们用鸡的这根锁骨来占卜,以消灾祛魅。在近代,英国人把这项传统带到新大陆。美国人现在用火鸡来当“许愿骨”。拉扯火鸡锁骨,lucky break,成了一场火鸡大餐上的重头戏。
② backbone noun. 脊梁骨、骨气、中坚力量
He doesn't have the backbone to face the truth.
他没有面对现实的勇气。

Dad, small farms are the backbone of America.

③ funny bone noun. 麻筋儿,鹰嘴突,是肘关节突出的那块骨头

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