跟着Gwen學英語之每日早讀 第374期
You can't be successful at everything. So any vision of success has to admit what it's losing out on.
語音講解
今日發音練習重點：
1. to後遇到元音發音，弱讀為/tʊ/（而非/tə/），然後加輔音/w/連貫後面的元音；
2. 注意what it's losing out on的詞間連讀。可單獨練習，熟練後再放到句中。
言之有物
1. 詞鏈兒： be successful at XX 在XX事上成功
① successful in 多用於表達在一個概念性質的東西上很成功。

② successful at 則表達在一個事件上做得好，做成了。
