今日发音练习重点:

1. billion /ˈbɪljən/

2. climb 字母b不发音

3. moon 不要发成“沐恩”

言之有物

1. there is/exists/remains ... 有〔表示存在或发生〕

不存在 there have


there is/was +单数

一个例外。


there are/were + 名词复数(即使它前面用了a lot of)

There are some pens and a book on the floor.

2. billion


英语单词billion来自法语,由bi-(两个)和million(百万)构成,因此本意是million million(万亿)。然而在美国billion并不指“万亿”,而指“十亿”(a thousand million)。
