跟着Gwen學英語之每日早讀 第397期

Next time someone complains that you have made a mistake, tell him that may be a good thing. Because without imperfection, neither you nor I would exist.

語音講解

今日發音練習重點：
1. complain的後半部分，不要發成“普爛”；
2. 本句中第一個that弱讀式/ðət/，第二個that不弱讀；
3. 每個調羣內的核心重讀，應落在重讀單詞中的重讀音節中，如 imper'fection/ex'ist。

言之有物
1. XX complains that... XX抱怨道...
complain用法拓展：
①complain to sb. 向某人抱怨
Neighbours complained to the police about the dogs barking.

②complain about/of sth. 抱怨某事

③complain that+句子 抱怨…

拓展：
當別人問候你時，你可以回答 Can't complain 表示“還行”、“不好不壞”。
2. without imperfection, neither you nor I would exist.
詞鏈兒提煉：
without XX, neither A nor B would...
沒有XX，A與B都不能
詞鏈兒活用：
Without Jack, neither you nor I would make it.
沒有傑克, 你我都做不成這件事。
3. im+perfect+ion
否定+完美+（名詞化）=不完美（名詞）
im+possible
im+probable
im+appropriate
否定+adj.=不XX的
4. exist 不及物動詞 後不接賓語
用法：XX doesn't/don't/wouldn't/shouldn't exist
Stop pretending that the problem doesn't exist.
不要假裝問題不存在。
作爲“存在”講時，exist 不能用於進行時態。
✗ No company of that name is existing.
√ No company of that name exists.
拓展：exist on 靠XX生存（這種用法下exist可用於進行時態）
At the moment they are existing on a few dollars a day.
在某一時刻，他們每天只靠幾美元生存。
