One of the executives who was there told the story to the New York Times.
5
Alice Huang, who is not related to the NVIDIA CEO, was a top executive at a Singapore -based company called Megaspeed.

In the three months after the meeting, Megaspeed bought a billion dollars worth of NVIDIA technology.

13
Commerce Department official visited Megaspeed's Malaysian data center and found NVIDIA chips still in their boxes.

23
and that the company found nothing wrong in its investigation into the smuggling allegations.

什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
