今天的發音理論上應不是因難的，但可能有些小trap，自己整理如下： 1. pausing – 在發-sing時，較不易將[z] 音發出，容易變[s] 2. take stock of – take 是長音[eɪ]，因後面接stock, 念快會變成[ɛ] 3. content – 當形容詞時，重音在後；前面發[kən]，不是[kɑn] 4. this feels… – [ðɪs] [fils]，[ɪ]＆[i]前短後長 5. strange and dangerous - a都是長音[eɪ]，g都是[dʒ] 6. consolation – 中間的so發[sə]，不是[so] 7. prize – 發[z] ，不是price [praɪs]
