TIPS
本篇听写只听写嘉宾的话，主持人的不需要听写。
主持人的话：①"Spelled b-l-a-h."
主持人的话：②"And that's not a duck.""He felt like he would never bounce back. Now that means to recover from being sick. He felt really blah. This is a great word. It's what we call an onomatopoeia, which simply is a word that sounds like what it means. So if you feel 'blah,' you have no energy, you just feel really terrible."
"Right. Oh, don't worry, his condition wasn't bad enough where he would have to go under the knife, which means to have surgery. The last thing he needed was to go see some kind of quack."
"That's not a duck, although that is the sound a duck makes. However, a 'quack' means a doctor that's not very good. In fact, a really terrible doctor is a quack. The feeling in his stomach would just have to run its course, which means just go through its natural progress of being bad, and then finally curing itself.”
