Hello, VoiceTubers. This is Nina, and you're listening to the Pronunciation Challenge. Have you ever wondered why time seems to fly as you get older? Well, we have an explanation in today's video. But before we get to the answer, let's check out today's sentence.
Sentence
Something this simple just forces the brain into a new mode where it can't predict exactly what's going to happen but instead has to be engaged.
Pronunciation Tips
1. can't (silent t) 2. predict (the pronunciation of "e") 3. exactly (silent t) 4. instead (the pronunciation of "t") 5. engaged (the pronunciations of two "g"s)
Vocabulary
1. predict (v.) KK [prɪˋdɪkt] IPA /prɪˈdɪkt/ 預測 Def: to say that an event or action will happen in the future, especially as a result of knowledge or experience Eg. It's still not possible to accurately predict the occurrence of earthquakes. 現在仍無法準確預報地震的發生。
2. exactly (adv.) KK [ɪgˋzæktlɪ] IPA /ɪɡˈzækt.li/ 確切地 Def: used when you are giving or asking for information that is completely correct Eg. It looks exactly the same as the real one; nobody can tell the difference. 它看起來和真的一模一樣；沒有人能分出區別。
3. engage (v.) KK[ɪnˋgedʒ] IPA /ɪnˈɡeɪdʒ/ 從事；參與 Def: participate or become involved in Eg. He's engaged in co-writing a novel. 他正參與他人合寫一部小說。
Alright, that's all for today's episode. Time really feels like it's been fast-forwarded after becoming an adult. But looking on the bright side, this might suggest that we're already good at what we're doing. And If you want to slow down your time, you can try learning something new or doing something different than usual. What do you think might be a great way to slow down time? Leave a comment below to let us know, and don't forget to record today's sentence. See you next time!
