Attention Please…特别提醒
[你可以请外教反复帮你模仿/训练下面句子/词组的正宗美式发音]
[1]shampoo and hair conditioner洗发水和护发素对于每个人来说都是必不可少的。除了这两样东西之外。人们还会用hair lotion {发乳}, hair tonic{炬油膏},styling gel {发胶},mousse {摩丝}等。
[2]tooth paste如果你使烟民,你也许要买那种能去烟渍的牙膏。那种牙膏叫smoker's tooth paste .不过那种牙膏除了价格贵一些之外与普通牙膏没什么分别。
[3] deodorant除臭剂odor指的是气味。在odor之前加上前缀de-,就有了否定的意思。成了除臭剂。
