STOP talking like a baby!

Hewo.

泥嚎

My name's Wonnie.

我叫温妮

What's your name?

你叫什么呀？

What?

啥？

My name's Ro-...

我叫罗…

What are you?

你叫什么？

My name's Ronnie.

我叫罗妮

What's going on?

怎么了？

I'm going to teach you something today that is very, very important, especially for the ladies.

我今天要教你们一些非常非常重要的事，特别是对女士们而言。

Sometimes I know you try and be very cute.

我知道你们有时候努力想要并且真的很可爱。

Cool.

那很棒

But there comes a point where you have to stop trying to be cute and actually act like

不过在某个关键时候，你必须停止卖萌，

a proper woman, whatever that means.

表现的像个正常的女人

It's up to your interpretation.

什么是正常的女人，这取决于你的理解。

So I'm going to teach you about what's called "Baby Talk".

我要教你什么是“儿语”

So, baby talk is what I was just doing to you in the camera.

说儿语就是我刚才在镜头前做的那样

It has to do with your facial expression-your eyes are bigger, you're smiley-and your intonation,

儿语要配合你的面部表情，你的眼睛睁得更大，你面带笑意，还有你的语调

as well as the vocabulary you lose... Use.

还有你所使用的词儿…词汇

So, when it is very, very good and fun and acceptable to use baby talk is if you are

要是你是在和一个宝宝讲话，

talking to a baby, yes.

那的确十分有趣也可以令人接受

Children, not so much.

要是是在和大点的孩子说话，就不那么令人接受了

There comes a point where your precious baby will become a child, and you need to actually

你宝贝的小婴儿总有一天会长大，

start to speak to them like a normal person.

你也要开始和他们像个常人一样说话

Not like a dragon, but like a normal person.

不是像和龙，而是常人

They grow out of baby talk.

他们的成长要脱离儿语

Also-I do this-we talk to our pets like they're babies.

我们也把宠物当宝宝一样说话，我也这么做

Oh, doggy want a boney?

呀，狗狗想要骨头啦？

Hello, kitty-cat, what's going on?

小猫猫你怎么啦？

And the cat's like: "Ah, this is great."

你的猫就会说：“哦，这很不错。”

Dogs and cats probably think we're a little crazy, too, and they're like: "What?

猫狗很可能也认为我们有点傻，他们可能会想

No, but I'm cute though."

”啥？别那样和我说话，不过我的确很可爱。“

Cool.

厉害了

"Give me the bone. Yeah, I'm cute. Give me the bone."

”给我骨头。没错，我很可爱。给我骨头。“

So, if you're talking to a baby or a young child, or a pet - cool.

所以，如果你是和一个宝宝或幼童或者宠物用儿语，那很好

Also, if you're talking to your partner, not in class, but your partner, so your boyfriend,

同样，如果你是和同伴，不是班上的学习伙伴，我是说你的男友

your girlfriend, your husband, your wife, your other boyfriend, okay

你的女友，你的丈夫、妻子，你别的男朋友，可以

- you will-I do-use baby talk.

你会用儿语，我也会

This makes us seem cute.

这让我们看起来很可爱

Awesome.

很棒

But we don't want to seem cute at a job interview.

可我们不想在面试的时候看起来可爱

We don't want to go: "Hi. I'm Ronnie-wonnie. How are you today? He-he-he."

我们不想这么说：”(｡･∀･)ﾉﾞ嗨。我是罗妮-温妮。早上好呀？嘿嘿嘿。“

You're not going to get the job, and people might think you're a little strange.

你不会得到这份工作，人们可能会觉得你有点奇怪

So baby talk is good for three people, three situations.

所以儿语适用于三种人，三种情况

Other than that, don't use it.

除此之外，不要用

You probably know some words that are baby talk or the intonation, but maybe there are

你可能知道一些儿语会用的单词或者语调，

some words that will surprise you.

不过有一些儿语用词也许你知道了会吓一跳

The number one are...

第一个词是…

One and two or the top ones are "mommy" and "daddy".

并列第一或者说排名最高的一组词是”妈咪“”爸比“

So, I hear a lot of grown men say: "My mommy works in the mall."

我听过很多成年男性说：”我妈咪在商场工作。“

And girls say: "My... My daddy gave me a horse."

女生会说：”我…我爸比送了我一匹马。“

Okay, maybe your daddy did give you a horse, but please, ladies and gentlemen who are adults:

也许你爸比真的送了你一匹马，可拜托，女士们先生们你们都是成年人了

"mommy" and "daddy" are children's words.

”妈咪“”爸比“是孩子们说的词

If a grown man says: "I love my mommy", we're going to think some strange things are happening

要是一个成年男性说：”我爱我妈咪“。我们会觉得你和你妈咪之间

with you and your mommy.

有什么奇怪的事发生了

As well, ladies, if you say: "My daddy is coming to see me tomorrow night",

同样，女士们，要是你说：”我爸比今晚要来见我。“

we're getting the wrong idea of what you're doing with your parents.

我们也会误解你们要和父母做什么

So: "mommy" and "daddy" are only for children.

所以：”妈咪“”爸比“只适合由孩子们说

What you're going to say is...

你要说的是…

Do you know?

你知道吗？

"Mom, mom, dad", good.

”妈妈，妈妈，爸爸“很好

We shorten this to: "mom".

我们换用”妈妈“这种说法

If you're learning English in the UK, they spell it: "mum", but they spell it with a "u".

要是你是在英国学的英语，英国人拼的是mum

And "dad"...

而爸爸

Sorry. "Daddy" becomes "dad".

抱歉。爸比换成爸爸

This is casually how we talk about our mom and dad.

闲聊时我们这么称呼父母

More formal...

更正式的说法…

Again, this is baby talk.

再说一次，这是儿语

More formal we can say: "mother" and "father".

更正式的说法是”，“母亲””父亲“

So, it doesn't really matter which one you use, "dad" or "father", "mom" or "mother",

你用哪种说法不是很重要，爸爸也好父亲也好，妈妈也好母亲也好

just please don't say "mommy" and "daddy".

就是请别说爸比妈咪了

It makes you sound like you're a little princess or that you have a very strange relationship

这样说让你听起来就像是个小公主，或者你和父母有不正当关系

with your mother and father.

Yeah, not too good.

是的，不太好

So, "father" is formal and so is "mother".

父亲母亲都是正式用词

All right. When I first started the video, I said: "My name is Wonnie."

影片刚开始，我说：“我叫温妮。”

Well, that's not my name.

那不是我的名字

My name's Ronnie, but children have a hard time pronunci-...

我叫罗妮，可孩子们在一段时间里很难发英…

[Laughs] Pronunciating, like me.

发音，就像我一样

They have a hard time saying certain letters.

他们有一段时间很难说出某些单词

For example, "r".

比如说 R

Do you have a hard time saying "r" as well?

你不是也有段时间不会说 R ？

Cool. See? You're learning.

是吧？你明白了

"R" is very difficult for babies to say, so don't feel bad.

R对宝宝们来说很难念，所以不用难过

They're learning how to get the "r" out.

他们学者如何发 R 音

So, instead of saying "r", they're going to say "w".

所以他们会用W来代替R的音

So, you will hear in TV shows, when people say:

你会在看电视节目的时候听到人们说

"Aw, you're just a widdle boy".

啊，你真是个小蓝孩

"Widdle" is a replacement for "l" in this case or "little".

“蓝”代替了“男”

So, we would say: "little", but they say: "widdle".

我们会说“男”，而他们说“蓝”

"Oh, just a widdle boy."

哦，真是个小蓝孩

If you can't say the "r", it might sound like: "riddle", but you say: "widdle".

要是你说不了 R ，听起来就会像是烂 所以你会说 蓝

I used to do this, when I was a child I could not say "r", so I said "d", I said: "budder".

我小的时候说不了“r”，就说“d“

I called my brother: "my budder".

我叫我哥哥：”我嘎嘎“

Now, "butter" in the pronunciation that you have here sounds like the delicious spread

现在，”butter“这个发音听起来是某种

you put on toast and vegetables.

涂抹在吐司和蔬菜上的美味

So I would say: "Where's my butter?"

那时候我会问：”我嘎嘎在哪？“

Butter is delicious, so maybe I just really wanted butter, my parents got confused.

黄油很美味，我可能真的是想要黄油，我的父母就会困惑了

Probably that's what happened.

可能这事真的发生过

So, you'll also notice that in English pronunciation, in American and Canadian pronunciation at least,

你也许也注意到在英文发音中，至少是在美式或是加拿大的发音中

if it's a "t" sound we usually sound it like a "d".

如果是”t“，我们常听成”d“

So, in Canada and America we don't say: "butter", we say: "budder".

所以在加拿大和美国我们不会说”butter“，我们说”budder“

And we don't say: "little", we say: "liddle".

我们也不说”little“，我们说”liddle“

That'll be another lesson, though.

讨论这个问题会变成另一堂课了

We'll get back to that.

我们回头再看

So, how do we make baby talk?

我们是怎么说儿语的呢？

How do we make baby words?

我们如何创造儿语词？

We have two ways to do it.

有两种方式

One of them is we double the sounds.

一种是叠词

So: "poo" is...

poo是…

Oh, I'm very good at drawing poo.

我很擅长画poo

Maybe you say: "number two".

也许你会说成：”上大号“

You can call it also "shit" in slang.

通俗点说就是拉屎

So, as an adult if you wanted to, you could say: "shit", some people get mad at that word.

作为一个成年人，你尽可以说拉屎，不过有的人厌恶这个词

You can say: "number two", or you can say: "poo".

你也可以说上大号，或者就说poo

But for children, we double it, we say: "poo-poo".

可是对孩子们，我们用叠词，我们说”拉粑粑“

So you will hear maybe parents saying to the baby: "Do you have to go poo-poo?

所以你会听到父母对宝宝说：”你要去拉粑粑吗？“

Do you have to...?

你要去…？

Did you make a poo-poo in your...?"

你把粑粑拉在身上…？

The baby's probably like: "I just shat myself, mom.

宝宝也许会说：”妈，我自己刚拉了

Can you change my diapers, please?"

能请你给我换尿布吗？

Also we have: "pee-pee".

我们也会说嘘嘘

Okay? Pee-pee is urine.

嘘嘘就是尿

So you can say: "Oh, excuse me. I have to pee."

你可以说：”哦抱歉，我得去嘘一下“

Very slang.

很通俗

"I have to use the toilet."

我必须上一下厕所

Or we say "number one".

或者说小号

So to make this an adult word, we just take off the second word.

为了让这个词更加成人化，我们去掉重叠的部分

One of my favourites, always makes me giggle is "bum-bum".

我最喜欢的一个单词，屁屁，这个词总能让我发笑

I think when I was a kid my mom said "bum-bum" a lot.

我还是个孩子的时候我妈大概说了很多屁屁

I know she said "bumbaleerie", which is even too funny for me to say.

我知道她说的是屁股瓣儿，我这么说出来更搞笑了

"Bum-bum" is the ass.

屁屁就是臀部

It's your ass.

就是你的臀部

It's... I don't even know another polite way to say it.

就是…我不知道更文雅的说法了

You can say: "bum", but for children we say: "bum-bum" and it's funny.

你可以说屁股，但对孩子们我们说”屁屁“，这很有趣

In slang, we say: "ass".

通俗点说是臀部

So you can say to someone: "Hey.

所以你可以对某人说

Nice bum-bum."

哟，好翘的屁屁

And they're like: "Thank you." Okay?

他们可能会回一句谢谢。

Don't be rude.

别太粗鲁

Be cute.

可爱点

Then we have a boy part and we have the girl part.

我们有男孩的部分也有女孩的部分

So we for some reason do not want to tell children that they have a penis.

出于某些原因我们不想告诉孩子们他们有阴茎

We call it a "wee-wee".

我们叫它小弟弟

Mm-hmm.

唔

So you might hear someone say...

所以你也许会听到有人说

A little boy might say: "I went pee-pee with my wee-wee."

一个小男孩也许会说：”我用我的小弟弟嘘嘘了。“

And you're like: "That's cool, kid. Awesome."

你可能会说：”你真厉害。真棒。“

I just took a piss.

我刚尿了裤子

And then the girl part, the vagina, of course we could not tell the children it's a vagina,

而女孩这部分，阴道，当然我们也不能告诉孩子们这是阴道

some people might call a "woo-woo".

有人会叫它小妹妹

Woohoo.

小妹妹

Not too sure where the "woo" came in, but I've also seen things on the internet where

不知道小妹妹这词是怎么来的，不过我在网上看到过

they are called minis,

有人叫它美妮

like Minnie Mouse.

就像是美妮鼠

Very strange things that I've seen on the internet

我在网上看到了很奇怪的词…

about words...

For the lesson.

这堂课

I was researching about the lesson about what words we use for children for vaginas, I promise,

我保证我在课前搜了我们用哪个词教小朋友说阴道

and I'm making a video about it.

我还做了一个关于这个的视频

We also have this expression...

我们还有这种表达方式

We have expressions that we use.

我们用这种表达方式

We say: "Oopsie daisy!

哎呀我的妈！

Oopsie daisy!"

哎呀我的妈！

So if you have a child and your child falls over or you drop something, and you don't

你要是有个娃，你的娃跌倒了或是你掉了什么东西

want to say: "Shit", people will say: "Oopsie daisy."

你不会想说：”妈的“，人们会说：哎呀我的妈！

As we get older, we just say: "Shit" or "Oops".

当我们年长些，我们就会说：”妈的“或者”哎呀“

So, if you want to be not as slang as Ronnie is, you can just say: "Oops".

如果你不想像罗妮一样骂，你可以就说：”哎呀“

"Oopsie daisy" is very childish.

哎呀我的妈！非常幼稚

So when we talk about this, we don't want to seem like a child.

我们不想被看做孩子

We want to seem like mature adults.

我们想被看作是成年人

Seem like, yeah.

被看做是，没错。

Okay.

好的

"Jammies", oo, I like this word.

Jammies，我喜欢这个词

Put on your jammy-jammies.

穿好你的jammy-jammies

Jammies are the baby or the childish word for PJs.

Jammies是PJ的儿语

Now, you might say: "I don't get it, Ronnie, what are PJs?"

你现在可能会问：罗妮我不明白什么是PJs

What do you think PJs, p-jammies, pajamas.

PJs，p-jammies，pajamas 睡衣

Woohoo. So, the clothes that we wear at nighttime to go to bed, we call them...

哇哦。晚上睡觉我们穿的衣服叫做…

For children we call them jammies.

对孩子我们叫它jammies

In short form we call them "PJs" and the long word is "pajamas".

简称作PJs，全称是pajamas

When you jump into your beddy-bye with your jammies, you are going to beddy-bye.

当你该穿着小睡衣钻进被窝，你就要睡觉觉了

So, "beddy-bye" is your bed or it's bedtime.

”beddy-bye”指的是你的床或是睡觉时间

And the other way that we make words are we simply add a "y" to some existing words.

还有一种创词方法是在已有词后加上一个y

So, you've got your jammies on, you're in your beddy-byes, and you need your blankey.

那么，你穿上了小睡衣，进了小被窝，你就需要你的blankey

"Blankey" is the child's word for blanket.

blankey是毛毯的儿语

You might see children with a blankey, and it's their security blanket, but they call

你也许见过盖着blankey的孩子，那是他们的安全毯，

it "blankey" or "baba" sometimes.

不过他们叫它blankey，或者有时候叫毯毯

Depends on the age of the child.

取决于孩子的年龄

Children really like animals, but they can't...

孩子们真的很喜欢动物，他们无法…

I guess they just can't say "horse", so they say: "horsey" or "doggy".

我猜他们没法说马，他们只好说马马、狗狗

Now, we say this sometimes.

现在我们有时候也这么说

We say: "kitty" or they say "kitty", and they say "ducky".

我们或他们会说猫猫，他们会说鸭鸭

So maybe you're...

所以也许你…

Someone you know has a rubber ducky-quack, quack-and there's a song about a duck.

你认识某人有一只橡胶鸭，呱呱，有一首关于鸭子的歌

It's amazing.

太神奇了

Can you quack?

你会呱呱吗？

Can you quack like a duck?

你会像鸭子一样呱呱吗？

So, the way that we make the words cute is we add a "y" to them.

所以，我们让单词变可爱的方法是在后面加上y

We usually use it with animals, I don't know why.

我不知道为什么我们经常在动物名字后加y

So, very important to understand that it's okay to use these childish words,

重要的是你要明白，用儿语没问题

but you have to know when to use them, talking to children, talking to dogs or animals.

可你必须知道什么时候用他们，和孩子、狗狗或动物说话的时候

"Hey, look at the doggy."

嘿，看看这只狗狗

The dog's like: "That's a duck." Okay?

狗也许会想：“那是只鸭子”

And if you're speaking to your partner.

或者你对你的同伴说

It's cool.

那很棒

Please be careful, don't use them in job interviews, don't use them when you first meet people

请小心，不要在面试上用这些词，不要和初次见面的人说儿语

because you will seem very childish and that's not cool.

因为那让你看起来很幼稚，这也一点都不酷

Okay?

好吗？

Beddy-byes for Wonnie.

薇妮和你说白白

Bye-bye.

拜拜
