Practice Your English Pronunciation /p/ vs /b/ Sounds | Course #9

In this video ,we are going to focus on the two consonant sounds /b/ and /p/.

在本视频中，我们将重点关注两个辅音 /b/ 和 /p/。

I know they sound very similar but they are actually different.

我知道它们听起来很相似，但实际上是不同的。

And they are very important sounds in English so I want you to be able to hear the difference

它们在英语中是非常重要的发音，所以我希望你能够听到

and pronounce them differently.

它们的区别并以不同的方式发音。

So let's take two example words.

让我们举两个例子。

The first example word is ‘bin’.

第一个示例单词是“bin”。

Now can you hear the /b/ sound?

现在你能听到/b/声音吗？

‘bin’

'bin'

Now, the second example word is ‘pin’.

现在，第二个示例单词是 'pin'。

Can you hear the difference - the /p/ sound?

你能听出区别 - /p/ 声音吗？

I know they sound very similar but they are different.

我知道它们听起来很相似，但它们是不同的。

And with practice, you will hear the difference.

通过练习，您会听到其中的差异。

And you will be able to pronounce them differently.

而且您将能够以不同的方式发音。

I promise you that.

我向你保证。

So let's get started.

那么让我们开始吧。

The first step is to know how to make these /b/ and /p/ sounds in English

You can also watch how I move my mouth,

你也可以看我如何动嘴，

and of course always try to repeat after me in this video.

I'm sure you can master these sounds, so let's do this.

我相信您可以掌握这些声音，所以让我们开始吧。

Okay, guys.

好吧，伙计们。

Let's now practice producing the sound /b/ in English.

现在让我们练习用英语发出 /b/ 的声音。

So what you're going to do, the first thing is,

所以你要做的第一件事是，

that this /b/ sound is voiced which means that you're going to use your voice.

这个 /b/ 声音是浊音，这意味着你将使用你的声音。

So when you produce the sound, you are going to feel a vibration in your throat.

因此，当您发出声音时，您会感觉到喉咙振动。

And what you're going to do is basically push out the air with your lips.

你要做的基本上就是用嘴唇将空气挤出。

They should touch each other so

Good.

好。

And now let's practice producing the sound /p/ in English.

现在让我们练习用英语发出 /p/ 的声音。

So /p/ is basically going to be the exact same thing as the /b/ sound,

所以 /p/ 基本上与 /b/ 声音完全相同，

but it's unvoiced

但它是清音的

which means that you are not going to use your voice.

，这意味着你不会使用你的声音。

No vibration in the throat.

喉咙没有振动。

You're just going to push out the air with your lips.

你只需用嘴唇将空气挤出即可。
