If I were younger nothing could hold me back.

本题难度较低

• 语言上
• were v. 是 (is, am, are 的过去式；此处用在 虚拟语气 中)，比如知名歌曲：if I were a boy，表示和现实相反。原文中were younger，表示实际已经上了年纪。
  e.g. If she were here, she could answer the question.
• hold back v. 阻止, 抑制, 控制
  e.g. Don't hold back your feelings.
• 表述上
  If I were younger nothing could hold me back.
  整体比较简单，if 和I 有一个明显的连读，/i fai /
  译文
  如果我年轻些，没有什么能阻止我。

You have to be a boss but you can't be mean. You have to lead but you can't squash other people's ideas.

本题难度适中

• 语言上
• lead v. 领导；带领
  e.g. She leads a team of highly skilled professionals.
• squash v. 压制；镇压；粉碎
  e.g. It's important not to squash creativity in the workplace.
• 表述上
  You have to be a boss but you can't be mean. You have to lead but you can't squash other people's ideas.
  整体的单词都很简单，but you出现了两遍，连读的发音都是一样的。
  译文
  你得做一个领导者，但不能刻薄。你必须领导，但不能压制别人的想法。

【句子分析】
Do you ever feel like you self-sabotage around money? Ever wonder if you have some limiting beliefs from childhood that are holding you back?

• 下划线：连读
• 删除线：不发音
• 灰色字体：弱读
  【解析】
• 最难的部分在于最开始的几个词，do you ever，speaker读的非常快，听上去很像/juver/，do you连读起来就很像/du/的音，而/du/往往都会有连读，比如常见的during、student。
• self-sabotage n./v. 自我破坏
  e.g. Procrastination is a form of self-sabotage. 拖延症是一种自我摧毁的表现
• limiting belief 限制性信念
  e.g. He overcame his limiting beliefs and succeeded.
• hold sb back 阻碍某人，也是今天初阶练习中的每日单词。
  【参考译文】
  你有没有感觉到在金钱问题上你有自我破坏的倾向？有没有想过你从童年就持有的一些限制性信念在阻碍你？
