Yes.

是的，我知道

So virtual spelt v i r t u A.

所以虛擬拼寫v i r t u A。

L Now the pronunciation of this word is really, really interesting.

L 現在這個詞的發音真的非常非常有趣。

There is almost no resemblance to the way it appears in spelling.

與拼寫中出現的方式幾乎沒有相似之處。

So the first thing is that I is pronounced in virtual.

Virtual means almost.

虛擬是指幾乎。

But in terms of this kind of technology sense, when we talk about virtual reality, we're saying that something is almost rial.
