NPR邊聽(tīng)邊練29:詞語(yǔ)通緝令:這些時(shí)候該怎么說(shuō)

【NPR邊聽(tīng)邊練】致力于提供新鮮有趣、饒有意味的時(shí)訊資料，致力于通過(guò)精聽(tīng)的方式促進(jìn)聽(tīng)力提高，致力于不斷開(kāi)闊眼界和深入了解美國(guó)觀點(diǎn)。

精聽(tīng)建議：

先完整地把一條新聞聽(tīng)一到三遍，爭(zhēng)取掌握大意。然后，一句一句精聽(tīng)，力爭(zhēng)每句話(huà)都聽(tīng)明白。遇到實(shí)在不懂的地方，再聽(tīng)寫(xiě)。

下面的文本材料中空缺部分里面要填的詞都很簡(jiǎn)單，不過(guò)是一些值得注意的連讀或者典型的美式發(fā)音哦，有些語(yǔ)速比較快。試試看，你能不能全部寫(xiě)對(duì)?

(參考文本，歡迎指出錯(cuò)誤^^)

___1___ this feeling: You notice some everyday phenomenon -- something that always happens -- and search for the word that defines it. Only to realize -- no such word exists. While word maven Barbara Wallraff rustles up what she calls these "word fugitives" in her column in the The Atlantic Monthly. Her readers supply their ideas for word fugitives and the words thought.

When I stand __3___, I always think the line next to me is moving faster. What's the word that describes my think?" "How about misalignment? What's the word that describes the process of going through the dirty clothes ___4___ to find something clean enough to wear?" "Dry leaning. What about a word for people who send e-mails, and then follow up saying: 'Did you get my e-mail message?'" That would be redundances. All ___5___ examples are in Barbara Wallraff's book Word Fugitives: In Pursuit of Wanted Words.
