台湾籍旅美老师今天交给我们的句子是：

And because speech also uses mood and intonation for meaning, its structure is often more flexible, adapting to the needs of speakers and listeners. This could mean avoiding complex clauses that are hard to parse in real time, making changes to avoid awkward pronunciation, or removing sounds to make speech faster.
因为我们讲话时也会用到情绪和声调来表现不同的意思，所以结构比较有弹性，能适应演讲者和听者的需求，像是避免使用难以实时解析语法的复杂子句、让读法变得不拗口，或省略一些音来加快讲话的速度。
