精選例句
"Irony" is used when reality does
not align with expectations. For example, if a person has been studying Chemistry for several years but he/she is not able to memorize the periodic table, we can say it is "ironic" because we expect them to have a deep understanding and broad knowledge of Chemistry. I發音注意
expectation: four syllables with the stress on the third one. "ex" is "x". "pec" is like "bec" since "ex" has a final /s/ sound, so it is "ex-pec". And then, "ta" is a long vowel /te/. Adding up "tion", which is /ʃən/, making it "ex-pec-ta-tion".
ridiculously: this one is a long one. Five syllables with the stress on the second one. The vowel in "ri" is a short /ɪ/. The vowel in "di" is a short /ɪ/ as well. "cu" is "Q", and "lous" is /ləs/. Put the final "ly" /li/ in the end, make it "ri-di-cu-lous-ly".
