每日口說挑戰【TED-Ed】驗孕到底是怎麼一回事呢？ (How do pregnancy tests work?)

DAY413
今天老闆大發慈悲耐心的花30分鐘教導我做事的要領
教完後
老闆問："我自己有辦法做這件事嗎？"
蛋糕："有。"
老闆："那我為什麼要叫你做？"
蛋糕："...... 因為你很忙？"

老闆怒捶牆 ( ‘д‘⊂彡☆))Д´)

A few minutes can feel like forever when you're waiting on the results of a pregnancy test. But in that brief time, you're witnessing the power of the scientific method. That one little stick lets you ask a question, perform a controlled experiment, and then analyze the results to check your original hypothesis.

☺A few minutes can feel like forever when you're waiting on the results of a pregnancy test. But in that brief time, you're witnessing the power of the scientific method. That one little stick lets you ask a question, perform a controlled experiment, and then analyze the results to check your original hypothesis.
當你在等待驗孕的結果時，短短的幾分鐘感覺起來就像一輩子一樣漫長。但在那短暫的時間裡，你親眼見證了這個科學方法的威力：這一根小小的棒子讓你提出了一個問題後、執行一個對照的實驗，然後讓你分析這個實驗的結果來驗證自己原先的假設。
【心得】等待驗孕的結果揭曉可能比坐雲霄飛車還令人緊張。幾家歡樂，幾家愁。

習慣會先聽很多遍，模仿並記錄影片的發音、高低重音強調、停頓等等，個人聽到的感覺紀錄 :

Cyndi的造句感都很貼近生活，感覺實用 (和驗孕棒一樣實用?!

感謝Cyndi選這篇文章，勾起了我等待驗孕棒出現兩條槓槓時的回憶…
