Ana Mateo: 我在节目中讲解了单词“dish”的多种含义。它既可以指盛放食物的盘子,也可以指一道菜,甚至可以用来形容外貌出众的人。我还解释了动词“dish”的用法,例如谈论隐私或分发食物、笑话或侮辱。我的拿手菜是红薯迷迭香餐包,这道菜让我在朋友中出名。 Brian Lynn: 我在本期节目中报道了科学家们可能已经找到了导致火星呈现红色的矿物——水铁矿。这项发现基于多个探测器收集的数据,并支持了火星过去可能存在大量液态水的理论。这项研究为未来的研究提供了新的方向,但还需要进一步的样本分析来验证这一发现。 Jill Robbins 和 Andrew Smith: 我们一起回顾了VOA学英语节目中关于否定前缀的课程。我们讲解了英语中常见的否定前缀,如un-,in-,dis-,im-,以及这些前缀在不同单词中的变化形式,例如根据后一个字母的发音变化。我们还分析了广告的真实性,并鼓励听众分享他们遇到的不实广告的经历。 Ana Mateo: 在节目中,我还介绍了我们为儿童推出的新的英语学习节目《让我们一起学英语》。
