Next time someone complains that you have made a mistake, tell him that may be a good thing. Because without imperfection, neither you nor I would exist.

语音讲解

今日发音练习重点：
1. complain的后半部分，不要发成“普烂”；
2. 本句中第一个that弱读式/ðət/，第二个that不弱读；
3. 每个调群内的核心重读，应落在重读单词中的重读音节中，如 imper'fection/ex'ist。

2. without imperfection, neither you nor I would exist.
词链儿提炼：

没有XX，A与B都不能
词链儿活用：

3. im+perfect+ion
否定+完美+（名词化）=不完美（名词）
im+possible

4. exist 不及物动词 后不接宾语
用法：XX doesn't/don't/wouldn't/shouldn't exist

不要假装问题不存在。
作为“存在”讲时，exist 不能用于进行时态。
✗ No company of that name is existing.
