每日口說挑戰為什麼動物有療愈力？那些動物們教會我的事 (The Wisdom of Animals)

Intro:
"Animals are such agreeable friends—they ask no questions; they pass no criticisms." –George Eliot

Hey there, Tera here for VoiceTube’s pronunciation challenge. "The LORD has made everything for its purpose." Have you ever thought over these words? If everything exists for a sense of purpose, what do animals mean to us human beings? In today’s video, we'll be diving into animals’ wisdom. Overwhelmed by tons of trivial stuff? Got stuck in unfavorable situations? Grab a few minutes to watch this video! It might not help you solve every problem, but will probably inspire you and make your day better. And now, let’s take a look at our daily sentences.

Featured sentence: They implicitly mock our self-importance and absorption and so return us to a fairer, more modest sense of our role on the planet.

Tips:
1. implicitly: four syllables with the stress on the second one. "c" in the third syllable is a /s/ sound, and remember that "tly" is one syllable, not two. First, pronounce the voiceless /t/, and then add up /li/. You will get /tli/. Altogether, "im-pli-ci-tly".
2. mock: only one syllable. The vowel of this word is short open back unrounded vowel /ɑ/. So, "mock".
3. absorption: three syllables with the stress on the second one. "ab" is /əb/, /s/ in the second syllable is a /z/ sound, /zɔːrp/. Notice that "p" here does not have a clear sound, but you still have to maintain the mouth shape of "p". Again, "ab-sorp-tion".
4. sense of: there’s a liking between "sense" and "of".

[Ok, here are some vocabulary words from the sentence.]

Outro:
"Animal Wisdom is a thoughtful and inspired exploration of the ways in which animals, if we will watch them and listen to them, can help us to live our lives more fully. Not only can they calm and relax us physically and emotionally, they can also enrich us spiritually."
—Jane Goodall

Human civilization has been established for years. We developed living ways, and we structured society. However, as a society, on the other hand, humans have separated ourselves from the animal world for long, as we celebrate the industrial revolution, as we keep on pursuing profits and gains, and mistakenly consider ourselves to be superior to animals, from which unhappiness and discontent stems. Perhaps sometimes, we should empty our minds and learn from nature. After all, compared to the animal world, human beings are just tiny and insignificant in this vast, sublime universe. This is Tera. Thank you.

☺They implicitly mock our self-importance and absorption and so return us to a fairer, more modest sense of our role on the planet.
