Today, we start with the word APPROPRIATE  and it has two different pronunciations.  

今天，我們先來說說APPROPRIATE這個詞，它有兩種不同的發音。

Appropriate. That's an adjective. Appropriate.  We also have a verb, appropriate.

適當的。這是一個形容詞。適當的。 我們也有一個動詞，適當。

So the difference is not in stress,  they both have stress on the second syllable.  

所以區別不在於重音，它們都在第二個音節上有重音。

It's in the pronunciation of the last  syllable. Iht-- versus ayt— appropriate.  

是在最後一個音節的發音。Iht -- 和 ayt -- 合適。

Appropriate. So the adjective, appropriate, means  right, or suited for some purpose or situation.  

適當的。所以，形容詞 "適當 "的意思是正確的，或適合某種目的或情況。

A movie with a lot of violence is not appropriate  for young children. As a verb, appropriate.  

一部有很多暴力的電影是不適合小孩子看的。作為動詞，合適。

It means to get or save, as in money for  a specific use or purpose. The town has  

意思是取用或儲蓄，如錢財有特定用途或目的。該鎮有

appropriated funds to repair the bridge and work  should begin this summer. Appropriated funds.

Saved this money, set it aside specifically  for this project. It also means to take or use  

把這筆錢存起來，專門留著做這個項目。也就是取用

something illegally or unfairly. Let's see these  two pronunciations up close and in slow motion.

非法或不公平的東西。讓我們近距離慢動作看看這兩種發音。

I wonder if maybe they appropriated funds for  these appropriate programs. There, I used the  

我想知道他們是否可能為這些適當的項目撥款。在那裡，我用了

verb and the adjective in the same sentence. They  appropriated funds, they set aside money for these  

動詞和形容詞在同一個句子中。他們撥款，他們撥出錢來做這些

specific programs, because restarting the programs  was the right thing to do, it was appropriate,
