Try to detemine which word I'm stressing
尝试确定我在哪一个单词上读了重音。
The answers are given in parentheses（） ,but don't look unless you really have to
答案就在括号内，但尽量不要看，除非实在听不出来。
（略）
在读句子的时候，对你认为是重点的词汇一定要夸张地张大嘴唇重读它。
Practice these sentences on your own ,really exaggerating the word that you think should be stressed.
刚开始练的时候，你可以会觉得这很滑稽。
In the beginning ,you're going to feel that this is ridiculous.
你可能会想：谁会这样努力地重读啊！没有人会这样说话的！人们一定会笑话我！）
Nobody stresses this hard!Nodody talks like this! People are going to laught at me!
但实际情况大概率是：你虽然已认为尽可能地夸张地说了，实际上还没有夸张到实际张力的一半。
Yet as much as you may stress ,you're probably only going to be stressing about half as much as you should .
另一个让你夸张练习的原因是：你总会感到疲劳、泄气或是想放松，这时，你就会丧失注意力。
Another reason you must overexaggerate is because when you get tired,emotional or telaxed ,you
will stop paying attention,
当这时，你就会如橡皮筋那样，缩回到你原来的声调（大约是合格的10%）
When this happens ,like a rubber band ,you're going to snap back to the way yo originally were sounding (10%)
所以，如果你只是照你以为的夸张的方式去练习，那么在你放松的时候，你只是回到了原点。
So,if you just stretch yourself to the exact position where you ideally want to be ,you'll go back almost completely to the old way when you relax.
所以，为了练好习，你要夸张拉伸到远超你正常语调的尺度。
For practice ,then ,stretch yourself far beyond the normal range of intonation (150%)
然后，（这样夸张的练习后），当回到放松状态后，你才能回到和正常美音一样的水平100%
So when you relax ,you relax back to a standard American sound .
