《一个人待会儿，挺好》
网上，有这样一个精准击中成年人情绪的发问：为什么很多人开车回家，到楼下了还要在车里坐好久？
最多的回答是：“需要独处。”
很难说清成年人的生活中，一天之中有多少时间是完全属于自己的。我们的时间像一幅巨大的拼图，每一块拼图都被清晰地分配了任务：
在办公室里是效力的员工；在社交场合中，是应酬的一员；在家的屋檐下，是要尽责的成员……
当时间被精细地功能化之后，独处就像对机械运转的钟表按下了暂停键，给自己一个“换气”的出口。哪怕仅仅是在沙发上发一会呆、放空，都是有益身心健康的，它不一定产生直接价值，却能润物无声地修复心情，是生活里必要的布白。

Welcome to the American English Pronunciation Guide. My name is Trevor Kafka, and I am your host.

There are many different varieties of American English. I was born and raised in New York, which has given me General American English pronunciation. The English that I speak has 15 vowel sounds. 

Please view the transcript for help while listening.

Today, we will talk about the vowel sound number 2 of 15: /eɪ/ grey day. This vowel is what we call a diphthong, meaning that it’s really two vowel sounds smooshed together as one. The mouth begins very open when the sound begins, but then turns into a smile as the teeth come together.

Listen to me saying this sound and repeat: /eɪ/, /eɪ/, /eɪ/

Listen to and repeat the following single-syllable words:
gray
day
pain
whale
waste
straight
tail
wait
shade

Listen to and repeat the following multiple-syllable words:
chamber
embrace
greatest
labor
vacation
translate
Canadian
information

Listen to and repeat the following sentences:
The way you say “gray” makes my day quite okay.
I embrace the shade to stay out of the sun’s rays.
The greatest of Canadian vacations have no space for rain.

I would like to thank Shirley Thompson and Karen Taylor for their work in developing the set of key phrases that I use with each vowel, such as /æ/ black cat, /eɪ/ grey day, etc.
