The moonlight flashes,
Fish and dragon lanterns
whirl the whole night long.

成人礼最早源自中国春秋时代，孔子(Confucius)曾为弟子主持(host)仪式，后传入日本并发展出本土特色(local features)。

桑巴起源于(originate)西非和安哥拉，是由奴隶们(slave)带到巴西的。
由此，桑巴学校应运而生(emergence)，首次官方游行于1932年举行。随着桑巴学校的发展壮大，里约热内卢市桑巴学校协会成立(establish)，负责组织狂欢节期间的桑巴学校游行。
随着奴隶制的废除，许多奴隶定居(settle in)的地方逐渐成为桑巴的中心。 随着桑巴的普及(grow in popularity)，逐渐形成了相关的俱乐部和协会，彼此竞争。

语音同化是语流音变中常见的现象。当语流中两个邻近的不同的音，其中一个因受另一个的影响而变得跟它相同或相近，就叫做同化。同化主要是为了读起来顺口。其中没有变化的音叫同化音，起了变化的音叫做被同化音。
语音同化可以使发音省力、说话流畅。它常出现在快语速口语中，而在正式场合和语速慢的时候不一定会出现。
什么是语音同化？
同化现象 说明 示例
顺行同化 后音受相邻前音影响发生改变 on the house / n ha s/
→ / n n ha s/
逆行同化 前音受相邻后音影响发生变化 white pepper /wa t pep /
→ /wa p pep /
交互同化 又叫双重同化，指前音与后音相互影响形成第三个音 meet you /mi t ju / → /mi t u /;
would you /w d ju / → /w d u /
清浊同化 浊辅音变清或清辅音变浊 news /nju z/ → newspaper / nju spe p /;
dog /d g/ + s /s/ → dogs /d gz/
完全同化 同化音和被同化音变得完全相同 in Mexico / n meks k / → / m meks k /;
speed boat /spi d b t/ → /spi b b t/
部分同化 发音部位一致，但发音方法并不完全相同 in bed / n bed/ → / m bed/;
green park /gri n pɑ k/ → /gri m pɑ k/
