每日口說挑戰互聯網的第二次革命 (The internet's second revolution | The Economist)

逐字稿
Intro：
G’day VoiceTubers, I’m your host Jenny. Today, let’s talk about the internet! The internet age started back in the 1960s but it wasn’t until the late 1990s when the ‘World Wide Web’ made the internet extremely popular. Half the world is now online...but that half is primarily from the more developed countries. Our video explains the second internet revolution which refers to when the rest of the world joins in. You will also see how companies have improved internet accessibility, making it more user-friendly for those with low-cost mobile devices. Today, no matter who you are or where you’re from, everyone is encouraged to use the internet. We all share the same online experiences - we can interact on Facebook, scroll through pictures on Instagram, watch videos on YouTube, and so on.

Now let’s listen to the sentence of the day -

I’m going to start with the slower version first :
[放慢語速1’33’’]
The Internet was built on the assumptions that many users speak English, are literate and media-savvy.
當初網路的建立，是假設多數使用者會說英文、識字、很瞭解媒體的

Here are some pronunciation tips:
Internet -
Sometimes when a native speaker speaks quickly they drop the T sound at the end so 'in-ter-net' could sound like 'IN-tuh-ned.'.
重音在第一個音階，後面兩個音階都比較短也唸得很輕，唸很快聽起來最後一個t會有點聽不到或是聽起來比較像d。
It’s a very soft ‘t’ sound
In-tuh-ned.

And next up,
Users speak -
It’s ok to connect the two Ss here.
User-s-peak
“...many users speak English.”

Let’s listen to the sentence again at normal speed：
[正常語速2’40’’]　
The Internet was built on the assumptions that many users speak English, are literate and media-savvy.

Here are the vocabulary words:
Assumption (n.) KK: əˋsʌmpʃən IPA: /əˈsʌmp.ʃən/
something that you accept as true without question or proof
假定；假設；臆斷

I made the assumption that he didn’t want to come, so I was surprised when he showed up.
我原本以為他不想來，所以當他出現時我很驚訝。

Literate (adj.) KK: ˋlɪtərɪt IPA: /ˈlɪt̬.ɚ.ət/

media-savvy (adj.) KK: ˋmidɪəˋsævɪ IPA: ˈmiː.di.ə ˈsæv.i
having a good understanding of the influence of the internet, newspapers, television, etc. and how to use it effectively.
對網路，媒體方面了解且有實際能力的

這是個形容詞 我們來套用在一個句子裡面：　
Social media-savvy restaurants post special deals on Facebook.
善用網路社交的餐廳在臉書上刊登促銷活動。

savvy (n.) /ˈsæv.i/
practical knowledge and ability

要怎麼用這個名詞造句呢? 你可以說 :

Outro:

Since the coronavirus outbreak, many students around the world have relied on the internet to continue their studies. I personally rely on the internet very much as well - everyday, I use online stores to shop for almost everything and anything. I communicate with my clients through emails and instant messaging, I like to share pictures and details of my life with friends and families on social media, since we cannot see each other as often as we like, and I also enjoy listening to my favourite audio shows online, as what you’re doing right now!

Okay, I’d like to thank you for participating in today’s pronunciation challenge. After sharing your recording of the sentence of the day, why don’t you leave a comment below and let me know what you love doing on the internet!

That’s it for today guys, I’m Jenny and see you around!
