(单词翻译:单击)

Try to be less judgmental when another person openly shares their thoughts, feelings and problems with you. Many machines do this already, and maybe so should we.


语音讲解:

今日发音练习重点:

1. machine /məˈʃiːn/ 注意第二音节元音为/i:/;

2. judgmental /dʒʌdʒˈmentl/ /dʒ/ 不要发成“叽”;

3. /tl/ 英音舌边爆破;美音/t/可省,可弹舌。

言之有物:

1. be so/less judgmental about... 对...过多评判

judge v. 断定;评价

judgment n. 意见,看法

judgmental adj. 动辄批评人的,爱品头论足的

You must try not to be so judgmental about people.

★原声例句:I feel more alert, more positive, and less judgmental of other people.

★原声例句:They're not judgmental about it.
