In general, Americans stress the ends of abbreviations.

一般来说，美国人会重读缩写的结尾ARjjyUr*1%=。

So for example, college degrees such as MBA or PHD have stress at the end. MBA PHD

例如，学位MBA 和 PHD会重读末尾的字母E#sgIcwHr,it27-&g。

The same idea holds true for country names.

同样的想法也适用于国家名称2QDk)_=gZ=2VQFE,W3b。

Remember, I asked you about times at the beginning of the video?

3:15或5:45UOvBWe+AE[eG)4Sz。

Americans also often stress the ends of times.

美国人也经常强调时间的末尾]@Mi2JGqb~r^i-。

So that is why the fifteen in three fifteen and the forty five in five forty five sounds louder. three fifteen. five forty five.

这就是为什么15在3:15里面，还有45在5:45听起来声音更大&p;IE[..~eGQie6。

That's all for today. Keep up the good work.
