每日口說挑戰【TED-Ed】硬碟是如何運作的？ (【TED-Ed】How do hard drives work? - Kanawat Senanan)

Intro: What’s up VoiceTubers! Welcome back to another weekly episode of our daily pronunciation challenge. Does anyone have one of those external hard drives? Personally, I have at least 3 hard drives because I have one for movies, one for backup, and one for all my music. But I’m always wondering how such a small device has so much space in it? I remember when I was in high school, computers used to have 10GB of space, I had to burn a lot of data into CDs because I downloaded too many movies haha. Now we can have computers up to 2TB which is 2000GB. Are you curious how these hard drives work? Find out in today’s video and let’s begin with the sentence of the day.

Sentence: Shrink all that down so that it fits in the palm of your hand, and you'd have something equivalent to a modern hard drive, an object that can likely hold more information than your local library.
將這一切縮小到如同你手心大小，它就成了跟一個現代的硬碟相同的東西，而硬碟就是一種可能握有比你當地圖書館更多資訊的物品。


Pronunciation Tips:
Potential - 3個音節 puh·ten·shl 後面的t 發 sh 的音
Represent - 裡面的 S 發 Z 的音 re-pre-sent
Capacity - 裡面有 soft C 所以發 S 的音， Y 發 IH 的音

Outro
Alright, that’s all for today, I think I understand how these amazing hard drives work now. Sometimes I think it’s amazing how we are able to create something so small that carries so many things in it. How many hard drives do you have? I’m curious what you guys usually use hard drives for. Let me know in the comments below and now it is time for me to sign off, see you all next week, Peace!

#資訊也需斷捨離

將這一切縮小到一個手掌大，它就差不多等同於現今一個硬碟裡存取的東西，硬碟裡可以收存的資訊量比你們當地圖書館所收藏的資料量還要多。
