Hi again, welcome back to www.engvid.com. I'm Adam. Today, I'm going to help you sound

再次您好，欢迎回到www.engvid.com。我是亚当。 今天我要帮你听

a little bit more like a native speaker, hopefully. Students ask me all the time: "How can I sound

希望有点像母语人士。 学生们一直问我：“我怎么发音

like a native speaker?" Well, before I say anything, let me just tell you that it will

像母语人士一样？”那么，在我说之前 任何事情，让我告诉你，它将

take time and a lot, a lot, a lot of practice. The best way is to live in an English-speaking

需要时间，很多很多的练习。 最好的方法是生活在说英语

country, of course, but of course you can do it anywhere, but it takes time; be patient,

国家，当然，但您当然可以 它随处可见，但需要时间；耐心一点，

practice, practice, practice. So we're looking at pronunciation. Let me

练习练习所以我们 看发音。让我来

start with this word: "pronunciation". Not: "pronounciation". It is not a pronoun. A pronoun

以这个词开头：“ pronunciation”。不是：“发音”。 这不是代名词。代词

is: "I", "me", "my", "mine". Pronunciation is how we speak English. So I'm going to give

是：“我”，“我”，“我的”，“我的”。发音为 我们怎么说英语。所以我要给

you three tips that will help you sound a little bit more like a native speaker.

您的三个提示将帮助您听起来 有点像母语人士。

We're going to start with connecting words. Now, think about your own language, whether

我们将从连接单词开始。 现在，考虑一下自己的语言，

you're speaking Spanish or Polish or Chinese, you do this in your language as well. When

您说的是西班牙语，波兰语或中文， 您也可以用您的语言来做。什么时候

you're speaking fast, you're taking words and you're squeezing them together; you're

你说话快，你在说话 和你一起挤压他们；你是

connecting them, so one word flows into the next word. That's what we're going to do here.

连接它们，这样一个单词就会流入下一个单词。 这就是我们在这里要做的。

You can connect consonants to consonants. What this means: when a word ends in a consonant...

您可以将辅音连接到辅音。什么 这意味着：当单词以辅音结尾时...

A consonant is "b", "c", "d", "f", "g", etc. A vowel is "a", "e", "i", "o", "u". When a

辅音为“ b”，“ c”，“ d”，“ f”，“ g”等。 元音是“ a”，“ e”，“ i”，“ o”，“ u”。当一个

word ends in a consonant and the next word begins with the same consonant, drop the first

单词以辅音结尾，下一个单词 以相同的辅音开头，删除第一个

one. So for example: we do not say: "black coffee", we don't say: "ke, ke". There's only

之一。因此，例如：我们不说：“黑色 咖啡”，我们不会说：“ ke，ke”。只有

one "k": "bla coffee", "bla coffee." Okay? Practice that.

一个“ k”：“ bla coffee”，“ bla coffee”。好的？ 练习一下。

Now, "t" and "d", these are two different consonants, but according to the tongue and

现在，“ t”和“ d”是两个不同的 辅音，但根据舌头和

the mouth, they almost sound the same so we do the same thing. "Wha do you do?", "Wha

嘴里，它们听起来几乎一样，所以我们 做同样的事情。 “你做什么？”

do you do?" But again, another thing you have to keep in mind is when we say it fast, we

你做什么？”但是，你又有另一件事 要记住的是，当我们说得很快时，

also don't really say "e", we say like a... Sort of like a small... We don't say "o" - sorry

也不会真的说“ e”，我们说的像... 像小...我们不说“ o”-对不起

-, we say sort of a small "e". "Wha do ye do?" Practice that. "Wha do ye do?" Strange,

-，我们说有点像“ e”。 “你们做什么 做什么？”练习那个。“你做什么？”奇怪，

huh? No "t", "wha", "de ye do?", "Wha de ye do?" That's how a native speaker would say

嗯？没有“ t”，“ wha”，“ de ye do？”，“ Wha de ye” 这样做吗？”

it naturally. Now, another thing is when a word ends in

自然。现在，另一个 事情是当一个单词以

a consonant and the next word begins in a vowel, make sure you roll it in. Right? Roll

辅音，下一个词以 元音，请确保将其卷入。对吗？滚

the consonant into the vowel and separate the syllable before. A syllable is the vowel

辅音进入元音并分开 之前的音节。一个音节是元音

sounds in a word. Okay? So nobody, like native speakers don't say: "Not at all. Oh no, not

一句话听起来。好的？所以没人像本地人 发言者不会说：“完全没有。哦，不，不是

at all." We don't say it like that. We say: "Oh, not-at-all.", "Not-at-all.", "Not-at-all."

完全没有。”我们不会这样说。我们说： “哦，不是全部。”，“不是全部”，“不是全部”。

Right? The "t", so this becomes: "No-ta-tall", "No-ta-tall", "Not at all". Okay? Say it quickly,

对？ “ t”，因此变成：“ No-ta-tall”， “不高”，“完全不”。好的？快说

blend the letters one into the next. But again, practice it.

将字母一个混合到下一个。 但是，再次练习。

Now, for those of you who are going to be taking a test, an English test that involves

现在，对于那些将要成为 参加考试，英语考试涉及

listening; IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, if you're in Canada you're maybe doing a CELPIP test.

听雅思，托福，托业（如果您是 在加拿大，您可能正在进行CELPIP测试。

Okay? This is going to help you on the listening section as well. This is one of the things

好的？这将有助于您的听力 部分也是如此。这是一件事

they're testing. Somebody on the recording will say: "Not-at-all", and you need to cut:

他们正在测试。录音中有人 会说：“不是全部”，您需要削减：

"Not at all", you need to understand the separate words, that's part of the test. So practice

“一点也不”，您需要了解 话说，这就是测试的一部分。所以练习

speaking it, practice listening to it. Another thing we do is we squeeze some words.

讲，练习听。另一个 我们要做的是压缩一些单词。

Okay? Certain words, we don't say all the syllables, we don't even say all the letters.

好的？某些话，我们不会全部说 音节，我们甚至都不说所有字母。

I've heard many students say: "Com-fort-able", "com-fort-able", but native speakers, we don't

我听过很多学生说：“舒适” “舒适”，但母语人士，我们不

say this part, we don't say the "or". We say: "Comf-ta-bil", and notice the last sound is

说这部分，我们不说“或”。我们说： “ Comf-ta-bil”，注意最后一个声音是

like a small tiny, tiny little "i" in there. "Comftabil", "comf-ta-bil", "comftabil". Okay?

像是一个很小的小小的“ i”。 “ Comftabil”，“ comf-ta-bil”，“ comftabil”。好的？

We don't pronounce the "or": "Comfortable". Nope, don't do that.

我们不发音“ or”：“舒适”。 不，不要那样做。

Another word like that: "Interesting". "In-chre-sting". Find out what the syllables are so: "In-ter"

像这样的另一个词：“有趣”。 “切入式”。 找出音节是什么：“三音节”

- sorry, my mistake -, "In-ter-rest-ing". If you want to emphasize something, we have

-对不起，我的错误-“休息中”。 如果您想强调一些事情，我们有

a word called: "enunciate". When someone wants to emphasize a word, then they enunciate each

这个词叫做：“阐明”。当有人想要 强调一个词，然后每个词

syllable; they say each syllable separately. "Oh, that is very in-ter-est-ing." Right?

音节;他们说每个音节分别。 “哦，这很有趣。”对？

Because I want you to understand that the word is interesting, but in every day speech:

因为我要你了解 这个词很有趣，但每天都有演讲：

"Intresting", "in-tre-sting". "In-ter-est-ing", I have four syllables, when I actually say

“有趣”，“有趣”。 “有趣”， 我实际上有四个音节

it naturally, it becomes three syllables and the "t" and the "r" become like a "ch", but

它自然会变成三个音节 “ t”和“ r”变得像“ ch”，但是

that's... We'll talk about that next. Another word: "every". "E-vry". I don't say:

那是...接下来我们要讨论。另一个 字：“每个”。 “电子vry”。我不说：

"Ev-er-y", I don't say this letter "e", "ev-er-y". "E-vry", "evryone", "evrything", "evry". Okay?

“ Ev-er-y”，我不会说这个字母“ e”，“ ev-er-y”。 “ E-vry”，“ evryone”，“ evrything”，“ evry”。好的？

Last: squeeze letters. Now, this is particularly true for a few letters. When we have "tr",

上一个：压缩字母。现在，这尤其 几个字母是正确的。当我们有“ tr”时，

"tr" together usually sounds like "chr" so we don't say: "country", we say "cun-chry",

“ tr”通常听起来像“ chr”，所以 我们不说：“国家”，我们说“ cun-chry”，

"cun-tree", like a tree that grows but even a tree is: "ch-ree", "chree". Okay? If you

“村树”，就像树长大 一棵树是：“ ch-ree”，“ chree”。好的？如果你

go out with your friends, you go out for a "chreat". Okay?

和你的朋友出去，你 出去做“挑战”。好的？

Another one is "dr", "dr" also doesn't really sound like "dr". We don't say: "Hun-dr-ed".

另一个是“博士”，“博士”也不是 听起来像“博士”。我们不会说：“ Hun-dr-ed”。

Okay? It's too difficult for the tongue to make the quick switch, so this sounds like

好的？舌头太难了 进行快速切换，听起来像

"jr": "Hundjred", "hun-j-red", "hunjred". Now, this goes with the first idea when you're

“ jr”：“ Hundjred”，“ hun-j-red”，“ hunjred”。现在， 这跟第一个想法有关

connecting words, but when you're connecting words and you have a "d" and a "y" together,

连接单词，但是当您连接时 单词，而您同时拥有“ d”和“ y”，

it becomes like a "j" sound. "Di jou?", "Di jou?", "Di jou?", "Di jou do it?", "Di jou

它变得像“ j”声音。 “地jo？”，“地jo jou？”，“ Di jou？”，“ Di jou做吗？”，“ Di jou

do what I asked?", "Di ja? Di ja?" Okay? So we say it like that; very quick, very mixed

我问了什么吗？”，“迪娅？ Di ja？”好吗？ 我们这样说；非常快，非常复杂

and you have to practice these because it's more habit than anything else. Native speakers,

而你必须练习这些，因为 习惯比什么都重要。以母语为母语的人

we don't think about doing these things; it just rolls off the tongue just like that.

我们不考虑做这些事情；它 只是像这样从舌头上滚下来。

Okay? But also, make sure you do a lot of listening; listen to TV sitcoms, listen to

好的？而且，请确保您做了很多 听听电视情景喜剧，听

the radio, lots of things on the internet, ted.com for example you can hear native speakers

收音机，互联网上的很多东西， 例如ted.com，您可以听母语人士的声音

all the time. And what you can do is you can try to do dictation and try to listen and

每时每刻。而你能做的就是 试着做听写，试着听

cut the words you hear into the actual separate words that they are. Listen to individual

将您听到的文字切成单独的 他们是的话。听个人

words, and try to find their syllables. Okay? But again, it's just practice, practice, practice.

单词，并尝试找到其音节。好的？但 再次，这只是练习，练习，练习。
