I think the trick is not trying to keep the joys and the tragedies apart. But you kind of gotta let'em cozy up to one another. Let'em coexist.

語音講解：

今日發音練習重點：

1. 口語中的縮約：get'em=get them / let'em=let them

2. trick/trying/tragedies中要注意/tr/的發音（/tr/=/tʃ/+/r/）

3. coexist=co+(w)exist 帶出的/w/音要輕快，不可刻意

言之有物：

1. 詞鏈兒：the trick is to do something/ doing something

2. keep the joys and the tragedies apart 讓快樂和痛苦分開

詞鏈兒：keep A and B apart 讓A和B分開
