TIPS
本篇听写只听写嘉宾的话，主持人的话不需要听写。听仔细些。
主持人的话①RS: "I think here, as a former foreign language teacher, I would prefer my students just to be consistent. I really wouldn't care which one they used. I just would prefer that they would be consistent the way they pronounce words."
主持人的话②AA: "It's like the word 'often' -- or 'awf-ten,' right? -- where you've got half the people say it one way and I remember seeing someone point out that, for the ones who say it one way, the others think they're illiterate and uneducated, and the same way vice versa. So which do you say? Do you say 'aw-fen' or 'awf-ten'?"

If you go as I did upon reading his letter, immediately I went to the Merriam-Webster dictionary.
In this case, the largest one we have, the most complete, is the Third International Unabridged a huge, thick, heavy-to-carry-around book. And it gave, as I suspected, ee-ther comma eye-ther. In other words, they're saying with a common word like this, it is said by some educated people as ee-ther; other educated people say eye-ther. They make no distinction that one is a better way to say it than the other.
I say aw-fen and leave the t out, and the only reason I do is because that's what I was taught when I was in school. It's a habit that I have kept over the years. And I agree with you. When I was in school my teachers, my English teachers, would say don't say awf-ten; that's what uneducated, ignorant people say. And I grew up believing that.当王先生写信给我们，我很欣赏他取得联系，这是一个非常好的问题，我理解它是如何一个国际听众可能会造成混乱。如果你像我一样读他的信时，我立刻去韦氏字典。
在这种情况下，我们有最大的一个，最完整的，是第三次国际删节一个巨大的，厚，重，随身携带的书。它给了，我怀疑，ee-ther逗号分隔eye-ther。换句话说，他们说这样一个共同的字，它是由一些受过教育的人，ee-ther表示，其他受过教育的人说，eye-ther。他们没有区别，一个是说，它比其他的更好的办法。
我说aw-fen，离开了T出来，和我做的唯一原因是因为这是别人教我的，当我在学校。这是一种习惯，我已经多年来保持。而且我同意你的看法。我在学校的时候，我的老师，我的英语老师，要说不说awf-ten，这是没有受过教育，无知的人说什么。我从小就相信。
