retotellyoutodaywhyyoushould…should…"Christripsonthe"﹣ld"，apronunciationdifficultyformanynon﹣nativeEnglishspeakers.（我今天在这里告诉你为什么你应该…应该…"Chris被"﹣ld"绊倒了，这是许多非英语母语者的发音困难。）以及后文exceptforsomestumbles，Chrisisdoingamazinglywell（除了一些stumbles，Chris做得非常好）可知，Chris发ld比较困难，这对于英语不是母语的学习者来说都是一个困难，总体来说Chris做得出奇的好。根据前文可知，ld发音不准，因此有些结巴，停顿得不准，结合选项，A．Impro
