Examples in context

  • 我在不真正了解「語音學」是什麼意思、甚至可能連字母都不熟悉的情況下,自己能夠想到「p」是「b」的較硬版本,「t」對「d」、「k」對「g」、「s」對「z」也是同樣的關係。
    Without actually knowing what "phonetics" meant and probably not even knowing the alphabet, I was able to think to myself that "p" was a harder version of "b" as was "t" to "d", "k" to "g" and "s" to "z".
