每日口說挑戰關於憂鬱這種感受 (On Feeling Depressed)

Intro:
Hello VoiceTubers! I am Mia.
From time to time, we feel fatigued, not only physically, but emotionally and spiritually. We feel depressed. That feeling is hard to describe. But I think it is like when you walk on a road and suddenly step into a puddle. The mud is all over your clothes and body. While you cannot get yourself clean in a short time. Today’s video is about such feelings. And now let’s see our sentence.

Sentence:
We feel exhausted, close to tears, beyond the sympathetic understanding of others, easily irritated and daunted by the simplest tasks.

Pronunciation Tips:
1. exhausted: (1) “x” is originally /ks/, which is voiceless. While here is the voiced sound. Therefore is /ɡz/. /ɪɡˈzɔː.stɪd/ (2) “au” is /ɔ/
2. sympathetic: (1)Four parts: sym-pa-the-tic /ˌsɪm.pəˈθet̬.ɪk/ (2) “t” is a flap t.
3. irritate (1)Three parts: i-rri-tate /ˈɪr.ə.teɪt/ (2) a_e is usually pronounced /eɪ/

Vocabulary:
1. sympathetic (a) 有同情心的 KK[͵sɪmpəˋθɛtɪk] IPA /ˌsɪm.pəˈθet̬.ɪk/
Def: used to describe someone who shows, especially by what they say, that they understand and care about someone else's suffering
People suffering from the war hope their government will lend a sympathetic ear to them and stop the war.
飽受戰爭之苦的人們希望他們的政府能理解同情他們，並停止戰爭。

2. irritate (v) 激怒 KK[ˋɪrə͵tet] IPA /ˈɪr.ə.teɪt/
Def: to make someone angry or annoyed
The reporter threw a sensitive question to the presidential candidate, trying to irritate her.
記者向總統候選人拋出了一個敏感問題，試圖激怒她。

3. daunt (v) 使氣餒 KK[dɔnt] IPA /dɑːnt/
Def: to make someone feel slightly frightened or worried about their ability to achieve something
She was daunted by the hard challenge and chose to drop out of the game.
她被這一艱難的挑戰嚇到了，選擇了退賽。

Outro:
When you feel tired, it is ok. When life is boring, awful, and bumpy, that’s also fine. When you can’t hold back your tears, then just let it be. It’s definitely not easy to have a bad day, a bad week, a bad month, or even more. We have so much to feel depressed about, and life always likes to play tricks on us. Consequently, we cannot control what will fall on us. But I do hope, if you are feeling depressed, everything will be fine. This is the end of today’s episode. Don’t forget to record your sentence. I am Mia. See you next time!
