▍原文
Shares in Alphabet, Google's parent company, jumped as much as 5% in after-hours trading after the firm reported stronger ad sales than expected.
Alphabet earned $32bn in revenue in the three months to the end of June, up 26% from the same period last year.
But the record €4bn EU fine over Google's Android mobile operating system knocked $5bn off its profits.

什么是暴虐版?
暴虐版语音是夏老师以意群为单位进行语音示范。
1. 每个意群示范7遍
2. 在每次语音示范后,会留出足够的空白时间供各位进行跟读和练习。
暴虐版使用方法:
1. 小伙伴们需要先掌握生词的发音方式和规律(练习耗时,因人而异)
2. 再通过先单词后意群的方式跟随暴虐版进行练习
3. 通过反复的朗读,让口腔肌肉熟悉且记住意群的流利和滑动感,不断提升自己语音语调,连读技巧,意群的把握。
