There's a lot of potential that's unrealized for using timber at a very large scale. Throughout history, buildings have been made of wood. But it has one major drawback: it acts as kindling.

☺There's a lot of potential that's unrealized for using timber at a very large scale. Throughout history, buildings have been made of wood. But it has one major drawback: it acts as kindling.
目前尚未能夠真正大規模地使用木材來建築，但未來有很大的機會可以實現。有史以來，木材一直都是建材，但它有一個很大的缺點就是：它是易燃物。
【心得】台灣潮濕，又有颱風和地震，應該不太適合用木材建大樓吧!?

話說，接下來應該有好一陣子只有空念快慢各一次了。

Day 100
破百啦~~!

It’s talking about the possibility of having the wooden skyscrapers. So it turns out it might be possible to build a very tall building with wood.

Well, I don’t know anything about construction and architecture, so my first reaction was whether the wood would be strong enough? The second question is one that everybody would be wondering about - which is the question of fires.

Thankfully, this video addressed (提出，處理)both concerns. I’m convinced(我被說服了）. I don’t know if you will be so you can watch this video and see for yourself.

Note that the pronunciation between Thin and Thing.

Unrealized (未實現的）means something that was never accomplished, finished.

*unrealized gains未實現的利得（會計）

I had unrealized potential.（我有未被發現的潛力）My skill of singing is unrealized.

*unaware（+of)不知道的，未查知到的
*He was unaware of my coming.他不知道我的到來。

Timber(木材） is wood that has been cut down and it’s ready to be used for building.

Drawback(短處）is simply a disadvantage or a negative aspect “of” a situation.

Vancouver is a wonderful city to living but one drawback is (that) it’s raining all the time.

The restaurant is great but the only drawback is that the seating is uncomfortable.

Kindling (點火，引火物)is like a collection of small twigs(細枝，樹枝） or other small flammable materials that are gathered together to start a fire.

Day 126 ◡

kindling: 世紀最難之/n/ vs /ŋ/
/n/ 舌頭頂尖貼上牙齦(前上)，其他部位不要碰上面(不要整個舌頭貼上去)，震動位置在舌尖(表示氣流有到)
ng /ŋ/ 舌頭後方貼軟顎(後上)，舌尖躺下面可碰下牙齒
小訣: thin +呢 thing +個

There's a lot of potential that's unrealized(強) for using timber at a very large scale. Throughout history, buildings have been made of wood(強). But it has one major drawback: it acts(強) as kindling.
*short oo[ʊ]: wood

I have an unrealized potential. 未被實現的潛能
There's a lot of potential that's unrealized for...還有很多尚未發掘的潛力

But it has one major drawback: it acts as...
Vancouver is a wonderful city to living, but one drawback is that it’s raining all the time.
The restaurant is great, but the only drawback is that the seating is uncomfortable.

drawback 缺點
setback 挫折

哥倫布 謝謝您~~~~
