I'm a native English speaker.

I was born and raised in United States of America, and I speak a very standard kind

of American English.

that sometimes, there's a tiny, tiny, incy-wincy hint of that kind of regional accent in my

我的那种区域口音的暗示 英语。

English.

But not so much.

但不是那么多。 我倾向于说标准英语，因为

I tend to speak standard English, because as I was growing up, I actually moved to different

在我成长的过程中，我实际上已经变得与众不同 状态。

states.

我住在明尼苏达州，直到我十岁 然后夏威夷直到我十三岁，然后

I lived in Minnesota until I was ten, and then Hawaii until I was thirteen, and then

Indiana, until I was fifteen, and then Maine until I was twenty, Massachusetts until recently.

印第安纳州，直到我十五岁，然后是缅因州 直到我二十岁，马萨诸塞州直到最近。

So anyway, I'm a very good kind of even English.

所以无论如何，我是一个非常好的英语。 所以无论如何，我的英语非常清楚，因为

So anyway, my English is really clear, because I also have over ten years of experience teaching

我也有十多年的教学经验 旅游的英语作为第二语言

English as a second language, travelling the world and working with English-as-the-second

世界，并与英语作为第二 语言发言者。

language speakers.

Other native English speakers don't have the same experience, they're not English teachers.

其他英语母语人士没有 同样的经历，他们不是英语老师。

So, in order to communicate with people, they just speak like they would speak with other

所以，为了与人沟通，他们 只是说他们会和别人说话

native English speakers.

母语为英语的人。 我现在就像我一样对你说话

I'm speaking to you right now like I would speak to my native English-speaking friends.

跟我母语为英语的朋友说话。 我的意思是我觉得我更清楚说话

What I mean is I think I'm more aware of speaking clearly, I enunciate my words.

显然，我发表了我的话。 在广播或广播中工作的人，

People that work on the radio or in broadcasting, or on TV also speak very clearly whether they're

或者在电视上也会非常清楚地说出它们是否是 是英语还是没有。

English speakers or not.

Other people that are used to working all day every day with other Americans speak pretty

其他习惯于工作的人 每天与其他美国人说话很美

quickly, and they might combine their words more.

很快，他们可能会结合他们的话 更多。

So, for example, I might say, "Don't you know how to understand native English?", and they

所以，例如，我可能会说，“你不知道吗？ 如何理解母语？“和他们一样

might say, "Don't you know how to understand native English?"

可能会说，“你不知道怎么理解 英国人？“

"Don't you know?"

“你不知道吗？” 这也是我对明尼苏达的说法。

Which is also very Minnesotan of me to say.

If you do know the difference in regional English, sometimes people make fun of Minnesotans

如果你确实知道区域的差异 英语，有时人们取笑明尼苏达人

saying, "Ya, don't you know?"

说，“呀，你不知道吗？” 无论如何，回到正轨。

Anyway, back on track.

So, the point here is that some native English speakers talk funny.

所以，这里的重点是一些原生英语 发言者说话好笑。

But it's not funny to other native English speakers.

但对其他母语英语并不好笑 扬声器。

They'll just say, "Okay, they have a strong southern accent or New York accent."

他们只会说，“好吧，他们有强大的力量 南方口音或纽约口音。“

Or, for example, "What are you doing?", they might say, "What're you doin' or "Watcha doin?"

可能会说，“你做什么”或“Watcha doin？” “这是怎么回事？”

"What's up?"

So, we combine our words really often.

所以，我们经常合并我们的话。 因此，土着人以不同的方式谈论

So, natives talk in different ways base on their regional accent, based on where they

他们的区域口音，基于他们的位置 无论是基于他们的风格，他们都是成长起来的

grew up, based on just their style, whether they talk more casually, more clearly, professionally,

他们说话更随意，更清楚，更专业， 他们是否有公开演讲经验

whether they have experience in public speaking or radio, or broadcasting.

或广播，或广播。 所以，有很多不同的发言方式。

Also, if you think about people from different generations.

另外，如果你想到不同的人 代。

Young people will use phrases, like "I can't even!"

年轻人会使用短语，比如“我不能 甚至！”

And older people don't tend to use phrases like that, that's slang.

老年人不倾向于使用短语 那样的，那就是俚语。

Older people may speak less clearly, because they've got so used to speaking with their

老年人可能不太清楚，因为 他们已经习惯了和他们说话了

own way, their own accent, combining words together.

自己的方式，自己的口音，结合的话 一起。

So, these are some reasons why native can be difficult to understand.

所以，这些是本机可以的原因 很难理解。

Now, why is it difficult for you in particular to understand some native speakers?

现在，为什么你特别难 了解一些母语人士？

It could be, because you are used to classroom English.

可能是因为你习惯了课堂 英语。

But English classroom is possibly the most dangerous place for you to spend your time

if you want to become fluent in real natural English.

"Please read page twenty.", "Do you have any questions?", "Please do your homework.", "Now

问题？“，”请做好你的作业。“，”现在 我们要学习等等，等等，等等。

we're going to learn blah, blah, blah".

This is all classroom vocabulary.

这是所有课堂词汇。 其中一些在日常英语中很常见

the classroom.

For example, "You came to class late!

例如，“你上课迟到了！为什么 你迟到了吗？”

Why are you late?"

Or "Open your books."

或者“打开你的书”。 这是一个你不会听到的短语

This is a phrase you're not going to hear very often in everyday English conversation.

经常在日常英语会话中。 你跟我来这儿吗？

I hope this is making sense.

So, let me give you an example.

I'm travelling now, I'm in Thailand.

我现在在旅行，我在泰国。 我和我的朋友索菲亚在一起。

And I was with my friend Sofia.

And Sofia works in finance, she's not an English teacher.

索菲亚在金融界工作，她不是英国人 老师。

So, it's really funny, because every time Sofia tries to speak to the locals who speak

所以，这真的很有趣，因为每一次 索非亚试图与当地人说话

And then, when I interrupt and I speak to the locals in a way that I know they learned

But it's not even correct, and it's not showing you phrasal verbs, like "fill out" that a

native English speaker, an American English, speaker would certainly use more often than

母语为英语，美国英语， 说话者肯定会经常使用

a basic verb like "write".

像“写”这样的基本动词。 因此，学习短语非常重要

I have an audio e-book about phrasal verbs that you can find out more about at GoNaturalEnglish.com.

fault, maybe they just don't speak clearly.

错，也许他们只是说不清楚。 但也许这是你的错，因为你是
