跟着Gwen學英語之每日早讀 第434期
Who you choose to be around you lets you know who you are.
語音講解
今日發音練習重點:
1. choose 不要發成“觸斯”。注意//向/u:/的過渡;
2. around you中注意/au/的元音口型。兩詞間可做同化也可做聲門閉塞處理;
3. lets結尾發/ts/音。
言之有物
1. choose to do XX 選擇做XX
選擇做XX
選擇做的事尚未確定(不定),因此後接不定式;
比如:
enjoy doing中,享受的事一定是確定的,因此其後接帶有確定性的動名詞doing。
want to do
like doing/ would like to do
2. be around somebody 在某人身邊
Now, I won't be around on Monday, I'm going to have a baby.
好了,星期一我不來了,我要生孩子了。
They can always be around you whenever you need them.
你需要他們的時候,他們總能陪在你身邊。
choose to be around you.
選擇在你身邊。
3. let XX do 讓XX做...
Let me finish the work first.
讓我先幹完活兒。
