• 下划线：连读
• 删除线：不发音
• 灰色字体：弱读
  【解析】
• 这个女生说话的习惯是吞掉单词后面的爆破音，不管是不是连接着辅音她都会省略掉，比如wait，out后面都有停顿，但是/t/都被吞音了。
• 最后半句的have our life figured out部分，have our life的连读较快，our弱化成/ar/的音。
• be told to do sth，被告知/要求去做...
  e.g. Students are told not to have small talks during class.
• wait until 等到... e.g. It smells so good but we still need to wait until everyone is present.
• have sth done, 把...完成，sth和done是被动关系。have our life figured out，把自己的生活琢磨清楚。figure out sth，把...理清、弄明白。
• think outside the box 跳出固有思维
  【参考译文】
  为什么每次当我们挣脱条条框框的时候，都要被告知我们要等到长大、弄懂生活之后才能这么做。
