刚刚给学生们做的物理学演讲真是帅呆了，作为你发小的福利，单独问一个问题可以吗？林教授？

gānggāng gěi xuésheng men zuò de wùlǐxué yǎnjiǎng zhēn shì shuàidāi le ，zuòwéi nǐ fàxiǎo de fúlì ，dāndú wèn yī gè wèntí kěyǐ ma ？Lín jiàoshòu ？

The physics talk you gave to the students just now really went down well. Given I'm your old childhood friend, could you do me the favor of answering me just one question, Professor Lin?

语体通常分为口语和书面语。有些多音字的读音也取决于语体色彩，像“血”这个字，用在合成词和成语中，属于书面语用法，应该读成xue4。如果是单独使用或用在短语中，就属于口语用法，读成xie3。

yǔtī tōngcháng fēnwéi kǒuyǔ hé shūmiànyǔ 。yǒuxiē duōyīnzì de dúyīn yě qǔjué yú yǔtī sècǎi ，xiàng “xiě ”zhège zì ，yòng zài héchéngcí hé chéngyǔ zhōng ，shǔyú shūmiànyǔ yòngfǎ ，yīnggāi dú chéng xuè 。rúguǒ shì dāndú shǐyòng huò yòng zài duǎnyǔ zhōng ，jiù shǔyú kǒuyǔ yòngfǎ ，dú chéng xiě 。

Generally, style is classified as oral or written. Some pronunciations are determined by the shade of meaning in a style. Like the word ''blood." When it's used with other characters, or in proverbs, it's being used in the written style, and should be pronounced ''xue." When it's on its own, or in short phrases, it is oral, and should be read ''xie."

现在中国社会老龄化越来越严重，放开“单独二胎”也是为了缓解人口老龄化带来的危机。

哎，我想到了个办法。陈磊，下课后你单独去找老师，使个美男计。我发现女老师都喜欢帅哥。
