每日口說挑戰你是天之驕子嗎？一起認識「金童症候群」(The Golden Child Syndrome)

我覺得今天的字都看得懂，湊在一起就看嘸了…

中英文都一樣…

Intro:
Hello VoiceTuber! You are listening to today’s pronunciation challenge. I am your host, Mia. Since you were little, have you ever had the feeling that some people, especially your families, unwittingly put their expectations on you? And that impacts you till now. Don’t worry, we’ll find out what’s happened in this video. And now let’s see the sentence first.
Sentence:
and because we were asked, with apparent kindness but underlying unwitting manipulation, to shoulder the hopes and longings of our carers rather than of our own deep selves.

Pronunciation Tips:
1. asked: (1) The “ed” is pronounced /t/ here (2) Reason: “ed” is behind the voiceless sound /k/ (3) More voiceless example: /p/ helped, /x/ fixed.
2. underlying: (1) Two parts: under-lying (2) lying: pronunciation of /aɪ/
3. manipulation: (1) Five parts: ma-ni-pu-la-tion /məˌnɪp.jəˈleɪ.ʃən/ (2) /j/ sound in the third part: “pu”

Vocabulary:
1. underlying (adj) 潛在的 KK[͵ʌndɚˋlaɪɪŋ] IPA /ˌʌn.dɚˈlaɪ.ɪŋ/
Def: real but not immediately obvious
If you notice some details in the movie, you’ll figure out some underlying message that the director wants to convey.
如果你注意到電影中的一些細節，你會發現導演想要傳達的一些潛在信息。

2. unwitting (adj) 無意的 KK[ʌnˋwɪtɪŋ] IPA /ʌnˈwɪt̬.ɪŋ/
Def: without knowing or planning
The drug addict claims that he is just the unwitting victim.
那名吸毒者聲稱，他只是一名不知情的受害者。

3. manipulation (n) 操縱（為了個人利益而控制某人或某事，尤指利用不公平或不誠實的方式）
KK[mə͵nɪpjʊˋleʃən] IPA /məˌnɪp.jəˈleɪ.ʃən/
Def:controlling someone or something to your own advantage, often unfairly or dishonestly
Some helicopter parents assert that they are protecting their children out of love, but that’s merely an excuse for manipulation.
一些直升機父母聲稱他們是出於愛而保護他們的孩子，但那不過是操縱的藉口罷了。

Outro:
It must be very tough to go through a process that: First, somebody puts their expectation on you, and that person might intend to do that or not. And second, you grow up under that expectation but you cannot escape it. Eventually, you know what influences you and changes you, lets you suffer from struggle, but you fail to blame them because they say they did all these because of love. I know you. It is not easy for anybody to experience. And if you are somehow the “victim” of that, I hope you’ll get some insights from this video. This is the end of today’s episode. I am Mia. Bye-bye.

and because we were asked, with apparent kindness but underlying unwitting manipulation, to shoulder the hopes and longings of our carers rather than of our own deep selves.
