They hound people in this world. Anybody who's different. They can't stand it. Well, to hell with them.
語音講解
今日發音練習重點：
1. /aʊn/音素組合是難點。請聽示範：hound/bound/mount/count...
2. people in 連讀。應有“林”音
3. can和can't在美音中無法區分發音嗎？
言之有物
1. hound verb. 追蹤/糾纏/不斷騷擾
noun. 獵犬

hound用於引申義，可表示“有癖的人、對事物偏愛的人”。

詞鏈兒：XX can't stand it. XX受不了/無法忍受。

→受夠了 XX have/has had enough of it.
