今日发音练习重点:
1. change 包含易错音组/eɪn/;注意前后辅音/tʃ/&/dʒ/
2. value in 词间元元连读+/w/ ;区分/w/ /v/
言之有物
1. I can't change +noun/名词性从句
what's already happened = what has already happened
2. there's no value in doing XX 做XX是没有价值的
This is not to say that we should assumethere is no value in teaching and tradition.
这并不是说,我们就该认为教育和传统是没有价值的。
There's no value in totally breaking off from society.
和社会完全的断裂开是没有价值的。
相似句式:
there's no use (in) doing XX 做XX是没有用的
there's no harm in doing XX 做XX是没有坏处的/ 不妨做某事
there's no point in doing XX 做XX是没有用的/没有意义的
there's no sense in doing XX 做XX是没有意义的
there is no purpose in doing XX 做XX是没有意义的
There's no harm in trying.
试试也无妨。

那些说“牛奶洒了哭也没用”的人显然从来没有喝过6盎司的牛奶,然后不小心把它倒了。
3. wish it were different 虚拟语气
点击跳转回顾【wish 虚拟语气的特点】
https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/-en0eHYY_PVNHnIyDx5Kpg
wish v. 希望〔不可能或可能性很小的事成为现实〕
近义表达:if only 但愿,要是…就好了〔表示强烈愿望,尤用于知道所想的事不能发生时〕
wish与hope的一个最大的区别,就是wish可以用于明明不可能实现的愿望,甚至用于过去的不可改变的事实、现在不可能实现的愿望。用于这种场合时,搭配是:wish + (that) + 使用动词虚拟语气的从句。
在英国英语中,可以说 I wish I was,也可以说 I wish I were,后者相当正式;
在更正式的英语,尤其是美式英语中,许多人在 I、he、she、it 之后用 were,而不用 was:
I wish I were taller.
=If only I were taller.
我要是个子高一些就好了。
I wish I were ten years younger.
我真希望自己年轻十岁。
Though Lord knows I wish you were dead.
虽然老天知道我希望你死掉。
