Or if you're explaining an abstract concept, using metaphoric gestures to visibly explain things can help make it clear — either to your conversation partner, or just in your own head.
Hello, VoiceTubers. This is Nina, and you're listening to the Pronunciation Challenge. Today we're going to talk about the gestures people make when talking. Do your hands move a lot when you're talking? Let's check out the video to learn more about paralinguistics.
And today’s sentence is…
Sentence
Or if you're explaining an abstract concept, using metaphoric gestures to visibly explain things can help make it clear — either to your conversation partner, or just in your own head.
Pronunciation Tips
1. explaining (the pronunciation of "p") 2. abstract (the æ sounds) 3. metaphoric (the pronunciations of "ta" and "ph") 4. gestures (the dʒ sound) 5. visibly (how to pronounce the "s")
Vocabulary 1. abstract (adj) 抽象的 KK [ˋæbstrækt] IPA /ˈæb.strækt/ Def: existing as an idea, feeling, or quality, not as a material object Eg. He is good at thoroughly explaining complex, abstract ideas. 他擅長將複雜、抽象的理念解釋得很清楚。
2. concept (n) 概念 KK [ˋkɑnsɛpt] IPA /ˈkɑːn.sept/ Def: a principle or idea Eg. It is very difficult to define the concept of beauty. 很難給美這個概念下一個定義。
3. gesture (n) 手勢 KK [ˋdʒɛstʃɚ] IPA/ˈdʒes.tʃɚ/ Def: a movement of the hands, arms, or head, etc. to express an idea or feeling Eg. The taxi driver made a rude gesture at her. 計程車司機對她比了一個不雅手勢。
Alright, that's all for today's episode. Gestures can help us to communicate more effectively and elaborately. It can even pass on information and feelings that are difficult to convey with words. I like what the speaker said in the last part of the video, "Gestures are basically emoji for the real world." Do you know anyone who moves their hands a lot when talking? Leave a comment below to share your thoughts, and don't forget to record today's sentence. I'll see you next time.

☺Or if you're explaining an abstract concept, using metaphoric gestures to visibly explain things can help make it clear — either to your conversation partner, or just in your own head. 或者當你在解釋一個抽象的概念時，利用比喻性的手勢動作把這個概念視覺化，不論是對交談的對象來說，或是對於你自己來說，都有助於釐清這個概念。 ■abstract [ˋæbstrækt] (adj.)抽象的；空泛的；純理論的；純概念的；{藝術}抽象派的 (n.C)摘要；抽象藝術作品；抽象概念；{化學}萃取物 ■concept [ˋkɑnsɛpt] (n.C) 原則；概念、觀念；想法 ■gesture [ˋdʒɛstʃɚ] (n.C or U)姿勢；手勢；示意動作 (n.C) 姿態、表示 (vi.)做手勢；用手勢表示；用動作示意 (vt.)用手勢(或動作)表示 ■metaphoric [͵mɛtəˋfɔrɪk!] ＝■metaphorical[͵mɛtəˋfɔrɪk!] (adj.)用隱喻的；比喻的
