【跟着美剧练发音】吸血鬼日记4

文本：

Mr. Saltzman: Good morning, everyone. Already. Alaric Saltzman. It's a mouthful¹. I know. Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. Saltzman is of German origins. My family immigrated² here in 1755 to Texas. I, however, was born and raised in Boston. Now, the name Alaric belongs to a very dead great-grandfather. I will never be able to thank enough. You'll probably want to pronounce it "Ala-ric", but it's "A-lar-ic", Ok? So you can call me Rick. I'm your new history teacher.
