语音讲解：

今日发音练习重点：

1. path 英美发音不同：/ɑ?/和/?/；

2. least、mean 均包含长音紧音/i?/；

3. 易混淆音：wrong和run。

言之有物：

1. 词链儿：just because...(it) doesn't mean...

你比我年长并不意味着你什么都知道。

困难并不意味着不可能。

Just because you're right doesn't mean I'm wrong. You just haven't seen life from my side.

你是对的不代表我是错的，你只是没从我的角度看生活。

回顾【P!nk - Try：But just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die.】
