You probably think that you are better now, better now.

You only say that 'cause I'm not around, not around.

语音讲解：

今日发音练习重点：

1. around 包含易错发音组/aʊn/；

2. probably /ˈprɒbəbli $ ˈprɑː-/注意辅音连缀/bl/之间不要加出其他元音；

3. that/eæt/ 做指示代词时不弱读。

言之有物：

1. 词汇辨析：probably&possibly

possibly：通常用于表示概率比较小的事情。

例：They've done everything they can possibly think of.

译：凡是可能想得到的，他们都已经做了。

probably：侧重于表示大概率发生的事情，指很可能会发生。

例：Van Gogh is probably the best-known painter in the world.

译：梵高可能是世界上最知名的画家。

2. be around 在…附近，在…近处

Will you be around next week?

你下周到这附近来吗？

She's never around (= near here) when you need her.

你需要她的时候，她就不见踪影了。

拓展词链儿：have been around

见过世面，阅历世事；饱经世故
