每日口說挑戰《哈利波特》你能原諒佩妮．德思禮嗎？ (Can You Forgive Petunia Dursley?)

Hello, VoiceTubers. This is Nina, and you are listening to the Pronunciation Challenge. The story we're going to talk about today is part of the famous novel, Harry Potter. Generally speaking, people tend to understand a story from the main character's perspective when reading a book or watching a film. But in today's video, we will see things from a different point of view. The character we're going to focus on is Petunia Dursley. Before checking out the sentence, don't forget to watch the video to see what the Harry Potter world looks like from a supporting character's eyes.

And today’s sentence is…

Sentence

You realize that the life that you have fought for for the last few years has just evaporated in front of your eyes.
你意識到過去幾年你努力經營的生活，正在你眼前逐漸消逝。

Pronunciation tips

1. realize (the pronunciations of "ea" and "i")
2. evaporated (the pronunciations of "e" and "po")
3. in front of (linking sound)
Here, we got a linking sound between "front" and "of." When the consonant meets the vowel, there will be a linking sound. It sounds a little bit like "da." So, the pronunciation here is "in front (linking) of."

Vocabulary

Alright, that's all for today's episode. "What if you are the villain in someone else's story?" This is the first sentence of this video. We always see the world from our perspective, and we never realize that we might be annoying characters or even villains in other people's lives. So, I think it's really important for us to put ourselves in others' shoes. Maybe not everyone deserves forgiveness, but changing a point of view can help us to know why the person made such decisions. So, next time, before criticizing someone, we should try putting ourselves in their shoes. After listening to today's episode, would you forgive Petunia Dursley? Let me know your answers in the comment sections down below with your recordings. Hope you enjoyed today's content. I'm Nina. See you next time.
