需要注意的發音
說話人用了 14 次縮略和弱讀形式，例如 don't, wasn't, you're。請按聽到的簡短形式來說。

中文母語者容易讀錯的音：

- /r/ 和 /l/ 的區別: paralyze /ˈpæɹəˌlaɪz/, relentlessly /ɹɪˈlɛntləsli/, unfamiliar /ˌʌnfəˈmɪli.ə(ɹ)/, replay /ˈɹiːpleɪ/

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。
