在这个视频中，

我将和您谈谈

英语发音的重要性。 尤其是长音和

Especially the difference between long sounds and short sounds.

短音 的区别

。 为什么？

Why? Because in English there are a lot of words that are almost the same except

因为英语中

有很多单词

除了一个长音

一个短音 之外

that one has a long sound one has a short sound.

几乎是一样的

And they have completely different meaning.
