跟着Gwen学英语之每日早读 第787期

No race was ever won in the first corner, but many have been lost there

语音讲解

今日发音练习重点：

1. won发音同one，不是“腕”

2. race/s/ was/z/

言之有物

1. race noun. 比赛

win a race 赢得比赛

The real purpose of running isn't to win a race; it's to test the limits of the human heart.

跑步真正的目的不是为了赢得一场赛事而是在于试炼人心的极限。

2. corner noun. 弯道

in the first corner 在第一个弯道

I lost a position when the lights went out and another one in the first corner.

我在发车时丢掉了一个位置，接着到了第一个弯道，我又下降了一位。

同样适用于滑冰等竞技运动比赛中的弯道

词链儿拓展：around the corner 即将来临/位置很近

That ain't something you can find just around the corner. 好朋友不是那么容易找到的。

Apparently she lives just around the corner from you. 很明显，她和你很合适。（下图字幕有误）

Good times are just around the corner. 好时光即将到来。

活学活用

请用 around the corner 随意造句
