我們 kitchen 有台小電視，我正在看晚間新聞，我的 roommate 則在 dinning room 擦油漆，因為隔了面牆，所以他看不到電視畫面，只能用聽的。那時正在報導關於恐怖攻擊的消息，然後一個女記者在一家店裡正要展示如何製造液態炸彈，突然我 聽到他好像在說些什麼話，於是我走去dinning room去看看發生了什麼事，這時他正有些義憤填膺的說These are well-educated people.... At the very least, they can try to pronounce the word right...."
他這樣子的反應我倒是有些意外，所以我問他怎麼了？原來他聽到新聞裡的那個女記者 把"Supposedly"念成SupposeBly。
"SupposeBly, SupposeBly, it's SupposeDly!"然後他接著說"I used to work with a guy who always said SupposeBly. It was driving me nuts!"
說實在的，我還真的沒注意到....
