我们是不是应该出去，好好享受这一天呢？
So I want you to write that down on a piece of paper or in the comment box.
所以，我希望你们把这件事写在一张纸上，或者放在评论框里。

试试看吧，我们是不是应该出去好好享受一下这一天呢？

How good is that?
那效果到底有多好呢？
Let's begin.
我们开始吧。
So what is the biggest mistake students make with listening, right?
那么，学生在听力学习中犯的最大错误是什么呢？
It's they
就是他们。
focus on words, individual words and try and translate them.
先专注于单个单词，然后尝试将它们翻译出来。
That's not good, right?
那可不是什么好事，对吧？
Because this is the secret, words change in context.
因为这就是其中的“秘密”：词语的含义会随着上下文的不同而发生变化。
When you put two words together, the sound changes.
当你把两个词组合在一起时，发音会发生变化。
And so if you're listening for individual sounds, you're not listening for the right thing,
因此，如果你试图分辨出单个的声音，那你其实并没有关注到真正重要的东西（即整体音效或音乐的本质）。
right?
对吧？
Take the words or take this phrase, right, good day, good day.
把这些词语或这个短语拿走吧，对吧……“Good day, good day.
It sounds like one sound, right, good day.
听起来就像是一个声音，对吧？祝您有美好的一天。
But it's two words, good day.
不过这两个词很简单，就是“Good day”（再见）。
But we don't say good day, good day, good day, good day, no.
但我们不会一直重复“你好啊、你好啊、你好啊、你好啊”这样的话，不会的。
We say good day, good day.
我们说着“再见”（good day）。
We drop the D.
我们把字母“D”去掉。
So we drop sounds.
因此，我们放弃了使用声音这一方式。
We drop vowels and consonants when words come together, right?
当两个单词组合在一起时，我们会省略其中的元音和辅音，对吧？
For example, excuse me.
例如，请原谅我。
We don't say that.
我们不会那么说。
We say, excuse me, excuse me.
我们会说：“对不起，请原谅。
The ek disappears.
那个“ek”消失了。
