绊倒；蹒跚而行；结巴地说
记忆技巧
谐音联想
将 'stumbling' 拆解为 'stum' (谐音'死趟') + 'bling' (谐音'bling'闪亮)。想象一个人穿着闪亮的鞋子('bling')却突然'死趟'在地上绊倒了，画面滑稽易记。
场景故事法
编一个小故事：'Stan在隧道(tunnel)里摸黑走，突然被石头绊倒(stumbling)，嘴里还bling-bling骂着钻石硌脚'。用'tunnel'和'bling'关联发音。
例句
He kept stumbling over his words during the speech, as if his tongue was tied. (他在演讲时一直结结巴巴，好像舌头打了结。)
