Rick: Or you can say, “that's innerestin’.” Jin: That's different. You guys like to drop the “t” a lot, right? Rick: Right. It helps the words to flow right off your tongue. Jin: I didn't realize big American cities have their own specialized slang! (續上期，下期續) 阿敬：那些音節跑到哪里去了？ 瑞克：那就是費城俚語的美妙之處——愈容易發音愈好！ 阿敬：真有意思。 瑞克：或是說 ‘曾有意素’也行。 阿敬：是有些不同。你們很喜歡把t省略掉，對吧？ 瑞克：沒錯。這樣可以讓字順口溜出嘴。 阿敬：我之前都不知道美國大城有自己特殊的俚語！ 重點解說： ★ syllable (n.) 音節。因為Fluffya 、Fill Uff Ya 的音節比Philadelphia 少，所以阿敬才會問那些音節跑到哪里去了？ ★ pronounce (v.) 發音，宣判 ★ specialized (a.) 專門的 |
