今日发音练习重点:
1. acknowledge
2. naturally
3. resist/imposed /z/
言之有物
1. acknowledge
acknowledge something 承认某事
acknowledge和admit都可表示承认
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.
小李承认小王乒乓球打得特别好。
I'm working on that. I wanna acknowledge her beauty.
我正在努力,我想意识到她的美。
图片源自《乌云背后的幸福线》
I should acknowledge the fact that you saved my life.
我应该承认你救了我这一事实。
图片源自《机器之心》
…it's unacknowledged. She doesn't even say thank you.
也没人注意,她甚至不会说谢谢。
