另一半生悶氣該怎麼辦？3分鐘心理學秒懂背後原因與解答！ (How to Handle Sulkers)
Intro
Hi VoiceTubers! How’s your day? I am Mia. In English, “sulk” means a period of time when someone refuses to smile or be pleasant because they are angry about something. When you add “er” in the word, it becomes a person who has that emotion. So what would you do if your boyfriend or girlfriend is a sulker? Hmm… Let’s go back to the topic after the sentence.

Sentence
We like to put on a sunny façade, but behind closed doors, many of us go in for one of the most tragicomic behaviors of relationships.

Pronunciation Tips
1.Put on: Linking
2.Façade: It’s a loan word from French, so the pronunciation is a little bit different. It’s /fəˈsɑːd/. In the middle of the word, it is /sɑ/.
3. Closed doors:
(1) Let’s see the original verb of “closed” first. It’s “close,” while the pronunciation of this word is /kloʊz/. The ending is pronounced more like /z/ instead of /s/. So, /z/ is a voiced sound. When the verb is ended with a voiced sound, for example, the “close” here, and you add “d” to let it be past tense, which is closed, it is pronounced /kloʊzd/.
(2) “closed” is /kloʊzd/.It ends with /d/ sound. And its following word is “door,” which starts also with /d/ sound. So when there is a repetitive sound, we just have to pronounce it once. Therefore, it is /kloʊzdɔːr/.
4. Most tragicomic: Here, the speaker didn’t pronounce the /t/ sound in “most.” And the reason is the same as in “ closed door.” “most” ends with /t/ sound, and “ tragicomic” starts with /t/ sound. Repetitive sounds. So you only need to pronounce it once.
5.but behind closed doors, many of us go in for one of the most tragicomic behaviors of relationships.
The speaker raised her intonation when she finished the clause, “but behind closed doors…” For she wanted to pave the way for the following sentence. It’s like a reveal. When you try to reveal something. Raise your intonation first. And lower it when you start to reveal what you're gonna say, or the one that you want to stress and highlight.

Outro
Ok, to be really honest. Sometimes, I might be a sulker, too. You know, there is always a period when you don’t wanna talk. It’s like a kind of war, but a psychological one. First, you fight with yourself. “Why did he do that?” “How come he can say that kind of word!” Something like that. And then you fight with the person who might still be totally out of the loop. Like, “You had better know why I am angry.” At the same time, it turns out that nobody knows how to read your mind if you don’t speak up! So that's my experience of being a sulker. How about yours? Share it with us and don’t forget to do the recording. This is the end of today’s pronunciation challenges. I am Mia. See you next time!
