这里有一个例子,在outlook英文演讲大赛中,4个大学生角逐,大家都看好一个说话超快超清楚的女生,认定她是冠军,但出乎意料,评委中的一个英国老头对他的评价是:you are just like a machine gun. We cannot quite follow you. Despite you pronunciation is clearly and your voice is nice, you should try to slow down so others can follow you and understand you better. 结果是她没有晋级,而另一个说话时每个词中间都有一秒以上停顿的男生获奖了。
