跟着Gwen學英語之每日早讀 第408期

Set out to correct the world's wrongs, and you'll almost certainly wind up adding to them.

語音講解

今日發音練習重點：

1. wrongs /z/ 清清濁濁
2. 在不強調correct、語速中等或較快前提下，注意 correct the 兩詞的銜接
3. wind 動詞/waɪnd/ 和名詞/wɪnd/區分發音。

言之有物
1. set out to 打算，着手/開始

這正是現在我要做的。
2. correct XX's wrongs 糾正XX的錯誤
3. XX will almost 幾乎是必然會...的
The news is almost certainly true although it is not official.
儘管消息是非官方的，但是幾乎確鑿無疑。
4. wind up doing XX 最終落得XX的結果/下場
wind up XX 最終XX
wind up like somebody 最終像XX一樣
近義詞：end up (doing) XX
