【小編寄語】詞典不是最重要的，關鍵在于語境。可以說，單詞沒有多少實際運用的價值，機械記憶的單詞量再大，也不會真正提高你的外語水平。因此，從今天開始，可可聽力頻道針對“零英語”基礎的朋友們，專門推出這檔“聽基礎單詞,練聽力”的節目。每天我們之需要你聽懂一個詞，并提供一段相應的對話，加深大家的印象。相信滴水可以穿石，付出總會有收獲的！

【今日基礎詞】 Maintain

【Transcript】

A: I also dislike having to listen to advertisements when they are broadcast in stores or on the subway.

B: I couldn’t agree more. That annoys me too. With billboards, you can look away, but with broadcasts, you can’t avoid them.

A: Do you like the way that advertising agencies use comedy in their campaign?

B: I suppose I do. I don’t like the way that advertising campaign often tells you if you don’t buy a certain product, you’re not cool or modern or something.

A: That kind of advertising seems to be very common with brand name products. They are always trying to maintain brand loyalty.

【注】billboards n. 廣告牌
