台湾籍旅美老师今天交给我们的句子是:
People who develop these so called accents are obviously not faking it. It's a real thing. That being said, calling their condition Foreign Accent Syndrome is a bit of misnomer that may contribute to some people's skepticism.
有这样口音的人显然是没办法假装的,而是很真实的,所以说,称其为“外国口音综合征”是有些不恰当的,会引起一些人的质疑。
