句 3(數據對比)
句子:The actual lifetime risk of dying in a plane crash is one in eleven million, not one in eleven thousand.
讀法 A(強調百萬分之一):
- 標註:The actual LIFEtime RISK / of dying in a plane CRASH / is one in eLEven MILlion / not one in eleven thousand.
- 核重音在 MILlion,thousand 弱讀,句尾下降終止
讀法 B(強調否定千分之一):
- 標註:The actual lifetime risk / of dying in a plane crash / is one in eleven million / NOT one in eLEven THOUSand.
- 核重音轉移到 NOT 與 THOUSand,強調錯誤認知
句 4(認知偏誤+保留)
句子:【BUNDLE】【HF】This explains why availability 【HF】BIAS distorts judgment, but correcting these 【HF】MISjudgments requires more than presenting facts.

回饋(90 秒)
回聽今天錄的 8 句,記錄三欄:
| 欄 1:可理解度阻礙點 | 欄 2:可修正機制 | 欄 3:明日最小調整 |
|---|---|---|
| (例:shows/shark 的 /ʃ/ 與 statistical 的 /s/ 混淆) | (例:做 10 次 sip–ship、see–she 對比) | (例:明天所有 /ʃ/ 唇形前突、/s/ 舌尖齒齦) |
| (例:although 前後沒停頓) | (例:although 前後各加 200 ms) | (例:所有讓步詞強制邊界標記) |
韻律任務
今天選擇讓以下詞承擔核重音(每句僅一個主核重音):
- 句 1:probaBIlities(統計理性)
- 句 2:CRASHes(日常風險)
- 句 3A:MILlion / 句 3B:THOUSand
- 句 4A:FACTS / 句 4B:MORE
- 句 5:THREATS(演化根源)
- 句 6:aVERsion(損失厭惡)
- 句 7:TAbles(精算表格)
- 句 8:imPRESsions(直覺質疑)
替換任務
保留句型骨架,替換關鍵詞練習其他議題:
風險評估 → 醫療決策:
- plane crash → medical error
- availability bias → confirmation bias
- loss aversion → treatment aversion
- actuarial tables → clinical guidelines
風險評估 → 投資行為:
- rare events → market crashes
- vivid threats → headline risks
- cognitive biases → behavioral biases
- rational calculation → efficient markets
