Hello everyone! My name is Jonathan, and I’m back with another episode of VoiceTube’s Pronunciation Challenge. I found today’s video quite fascinating. Humans have been living on this Earth for a long time now. With all the technology we have available to us, I had always assumed that every inch of our planet had been explored, studied, and was known to us. However, there are still areas on our Earth that are quite unknown to us, not just in the ocean but on land as well! What mysteries are still present on our lovely planet? Watch the video to find out! In the meantime, let’s listen to today’s featured sentence:

Sentence:
1:07 - 1:15
Cape Melville is a rugged coastline of rocky headlands and sandy beaches that's so remote that you can't even get any mobile reception.
梅爾維爾角是一個崎嶇不平的岩石海岸線和沙灘，遙遠到甚至無法收到任何手機訊號。

Pronunciation Tips:

headlands (short e and schwa sound, accent on first syllable)
remote (short e, accent on second syllable)
remote that (linked words)

Vocabulary:

coastline (n.) KK[ˋkost͵laɪn] IPA /ˈkoʊstˌlaɪn/ 海岸線

The coastline is where the ocean meets the land, also known as the shoreline. It also refers to the land right at the shoreline, for example, rocks or beaches.

Here it is in a sentence: Canada has the longest coastline in the world, stretching to 243,042 km on three oceans. 加拿大有世上最長的海岸線，243,042 公里延續了三個海洋的長度。

mobile (n.) kk: 〔 ˋmobL,ˋmobil 〕IPA: /ˈmoʊbəl/, /ˈmoʊbil/ 行動電話

In this usage, mobile refers to a cell phone or smartphone. For example, “I couldn’t call my sister, because my mobile was out of battery.” 我無法打電話給我的妹妹，因為我的行動電話沒電了。

If you hear this word pronounced as mobile, with a long I sound in the second syllable, that has a different meaning. Mobile refers to moving around and not being idle.

For example, “He was stuck in bed for a couple of days when he was sick, but now he’s up and mobile once again!” 他生病的時候被困在床上好幾天，但現在他又可以起身活動了！

rugged (adj.) KK[ˋrʌgɪd] IPA /ˈrʌɡ.ɪd/（土地）荒蕪崎嶇的；崎嶇難行的

Rugged refers to something that has a rocky, broken, or uneven surface.

For example, “With its many lakes, large areas of forest, and rugged landscape, Northern Ontario is a great place for outdoor travel.” 擁有著許多湖、寬大的森林和高低不平的地形，北安大略省是個很棒的戶外旅遊地點。


And that wraps it up for today’s pronunciation challenge.
We keep hearing about how the world is getting smaller, and how answers for everything are just a few clicks away. At the same time, however, our world still has problems on a global scale that need real, practical solutions. With this in mind, I think it’s great to know that there are still some mysteries left on Earth, and that there are still some things we don’t know or don’t understand. Perhaps, as humanity as a species continues to learn and understand more, we will be able to develop new solutions to our existing problems, or learn how to better implement the solutions we already have. Besides, life would seem a bit boring if there were no mysteries left, wouldn’t it?

What do you find interesting, fascinating, or mysterious? Let me know in the comments down below! And of course, I’ll catch you next time!

0:43 Hello everyone! My name is Jonathan, and I’m back with another episode of VoiceTube’s Pronunciation Challenge. I found today’s video quite fascinating(/ˈfæs.ən.eɪ.tɪŋ/極有趣的). Humans have been living on this Earth for a long time now. With all the technology we have available(/əˈveɪ.lə.bəl/可用的a.) to us, I had always assumed(v.假定) that every inch(n.吋) of our planet had been explored(v.探索), studied and was known to us. However, there’re still areas on our earth that are quite unknown to us, not just in the ocean but on land as well. What mysteries(神秘的事物n.) are still present(/ˈprez.ənt/存在的) on our lovely planet? Watch the video to find out. In the meantime(同時), let’s listen to today’s featured(a.精選的) sentence.

1. coastline /ˈkoʊst.laɪn/ (n.) = shoreline
（尤指從空中、海上或地圖上看到的）海岸線
The coastline is where the ocean meets the land, also known as the shoreline. It also refers the land right at the shoreline, for example, rocks or beaches. Here it is in the sentence.

In this usage it refers to a cellphone or smartphone.

I couldn’t call my sister, because my mobile was out of battery.

2.2 mobile /ˈməʊ.baɪl/ adj. 流動的；（可）移動的
If you hear this word pronounced as /ˈməʊ.baɪl/ , with a long I sound in the second syllable(n.音節), that has a different meaning. Mobile refers to moving around, and not being idle(/ˈaɪ.dəl/無目的的a.).

He was stuck in bed for a couple of days when he was sick, but now he is up and mobile once again.

So it’s important to listen and make that distinction(/dɪˈstɪŋk.ʃən/差別n.).

■ idle /ˈaɪ.dəl/ a. 閒置的
Half these factories now stand idle.
這些工廠如今有半數閒置。無所事事的，空閒的

It refers to something has a rocky, broken or uneven(/ʌnˈiː.vən/不平整的) surface.

In fact, the northern part of Ontario is so rugged and rocky has the nickname of the Canadian(/kəˈneɪ.di.ən/加拿大的a.) Shield(/ʃiːld/盾n.).

And that wraps it up for today’s pronunciation challenge. We keep hearing about how the world is getting smaller, and how answers for everything are just a few clicks away(反复地敲擊電腦鍵盤phr.). At the same time, however, our world still has problems on the global scale(n.範圍) that need real, practical(a.實際的) solutions. With this in mind, I think it’s great to know that there’re still some mysteries left on earth. And that there are still somethings we don’t know or don’t understand. Perhaps, as humanity(/hjuːˈmæn.ə.t̬i/人類n.) as a species(n.物種) continues to learn and understand more, we will be able to develop new solutions to our existing(存在的a.) problems, or learn how to better implement(/ˈɪm.plə.ment/實施v.) the solutions we already have. Besides, life would seem a bit boring if there were no mysteries left, wouldn’t it? What do you find interesting, fascinating or mysterious? Let me know in the comments down below, and of course, I‘ll catch you next time!

■ click away (phr.) : 反复地敲擊電腦鍵盤
In the newsroom, reporters answer phones and click away at their computers.

【wrap one's head around】了然於心
