每日口說挑戰能源危機是什麼 (A Crisis of Energy)

Hello friends! Hubert Tran, back again with another episode of pronunciation challenge!
So let me paint a scenario for everyone. Scenario, meaning a situation. Imagine a world without oil. Not a bright future, huh? Many things we use rely on the use of oil. How would we get around? Bus fares could be very expensive and let’s not even think about air travel. You see, this actually happened not too long ago actually. Today’s video talks about the time there was actually a shortage of oil. How did that happen? Well, I guess you’ll have to watch the clip to find out! Once you do that, we’ll move onto today’s feature sentence!


Today’s featured sentence:
“This led to using other energy sources, such as nuclear and renewable energy.”

I’ll say that again.

“This led to using other energy sources, such as nuclear and renewable energy.”

Ok, now time for the Pronunciation Tips.

Pronunciation Tips:

First word.
Sources (sor·suhz)
Two syllables. First syllable is pretty much “s o r”, sor. Second syllable sounds like “s e z”, sez. Sources.

Next one is a linking phrase!
Such as
Link the ‘ch’ sound with “as” to get suchas. Such as.

And our last one for pronunciation would be:
Renewable (ruh·noo·uh·bl)
Four syllables. Re has a short “e” sound, new as in brand new, uh-bl. Renewable.


Moving onto Vocabulary!

The first word is:
1. Energy (n.) KK[ˋɛnɚdʒɪ] IPA/ˈenədʒi/
Definition
the power and ability to be physically and mentally active
Used in a sentence you could say,
“I just don’t have the energy to deal with you today.”

Next word,
2. Nuclear (adj.) KK[ˋnjuklɪɚ] IPA[ˈnjuːklɪə(r)]
Definition
being or using the power produced when the nucleus of an atom is divided or joined to another nucleus
An example would be,
“How many nations have a nuclear capability (= have nuclear weapons)?

And lastly,
3. Renewable (adj.) KK[rɪˈnuː.ə.bəl] IPA [rɪˈnjuːəbl]
Definition:
Renewable forms of energy can be produced as quickly as they are used.
Used in a sentence you can say:
“An example of renewable energy sources would have to be solar and wind power.”

Outro
So today’s episode kinda makes us think about how we consume energy huh? Hopefully there is a long term solution with the advent (the rise of) of solar power and how we store electrical energy. Tesla for example, gives me some hope that we are heading in the right direction! Perhaps in the near future, we can go entirely green! Only time will tell. Alright people, that about does it for today’s pronunciation challenge. Make sure you do your recordings and leave some comments! I try to read every one of them so I’ll do my best to get back to you! If you want to find me on social media, you can find me on instagram at huberttran. Until next time! See ya!

若沒有石油，改用核能+再生能源，碳排放會減少，減緩氣候變遷，很不方便。(´(ｪ)｀）

不過台灣 2025 年就要超英趕美大躍進，廢除環保的核能，邁向火力家園ㄌ。（火力發電可望從目前ㄉ 80% 突破天際到 90%）

12月18日有核能公投，大家記得回家投票唷 ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ

☺This led to using other energy sources, such as nuclear and renewable energy.
這也讓人們開始使用其他能源，像是核能和再生能源。
【心得】氣候變遷加劇，大自然越來越難以捉摸，但要靠再生能源，就更是要看天吃飯了!
■energy [ˋɛnɚdʒɪ ] (n.U) 精力；活力；幹勁；能、能量、能源

Hello friends! Hubert Tran, back again with another episode of pronunciation challenge! So let me paint(描寫v.) a scenario(/səˈner.i.oʊ/場景,事態) for everyone. Scenario, meaning a situation. Imagine a world without oil. Not a bright future, huh? Many things we use rely on(依賴) the use of oil. How would we get around(到處走走)? Bus fares(票價) could be very expensive and let’s not even think about air travel. You see, this actually happened not too long ago actually. Today’s video talks about the time there was actually a shortage(短缺) of oil. How did that happen? Well, I guess you’ll have to watch the clip(影片的剪輯) to find out! Once you do that, we’ll move onto today’s featured sentence!

This led to using other energy sources(/sɔːrs/來源n.), such as nuclear(/ˈnuː.kliː.ɚ/核能的) and renewable(/rɪˈnuː.ə.bəl/ 可再生的) energy.
這也讓人們開始使用其他能源，像是核能和再生能源。

1.1 energy (n.) /ˈenədʒi/ 精力；活力；幹勁 the power and ability to be physically and mentally active:
I just don’t have the energy to deal with you today.

1.2 energy (n.) 能，能量；能源 the power from something such as electricity or oil that can do work, such as providing light and heat:
The energy generated by the windmill drives all the drainage pumps. 風車産生的能量爲所有的排水泵提供動力。

2. nuclear (adj.) /ˈnuː.kliː.ɚ/ 核能的；使用核能的 being or using the power produced when the nucleus of an atom is divided or joined to another nucleus:
How many nations(國家) have a nuclear capability (= have nuclear weapons)?

3. renewable (adj.) /rɪˈnjuːəbl/ （能源）可再生的 Renewable forms of energy can be produced as quickly as they are used:
An example of renewable energy sources would have to be solar and wind power.

Outro: So today’s episode kinda makes us think about how we consume(消耗v.) energy huh? Hopefully there is a long term solution with the advent(/ˈæd.vənt/到來n.) (the rise of) of solar power and how we store(儲存v.) electrical energy. Tesla for example, gives me some hope that we are heading in the right direction! Perhaps in the near future, we can go entirely green! Only time will tell(顯示v.). Alright people, that about does it for today’s pronunciation challenge.

◆ advent /ˈæd.vənt/ n.（事件、發明或人物的）出現，來臨，到來 the fact of an event happening, an invention being made, or a person arriving:
Life was transformed by the advent of the steam engine. 蒸汽機的出現使人類生活發生了翻天覆地的變化。

This led to using other energy sources, such as nuclear and renewable energy.
