今日发音练习重点:

1. acknowledge

2. naturally

3. resist/imposed /z/

言之有物

1. acknowledge

区别:

acknowledge 是确认事情的存在或者发生,但我们不一定能看出承认者的态度到底如何

admit 往往带有“不情愿地承认”某件事情的存在或发生


举例:

Xiao Liacknowledgesthat Xiao Wang is very good at Ping-Pong.

小李确认小王打乒乓球打得很好。


Xiao Li admits that Xiao Wang is very good at Ping-Pong.
