In this video, we are going to talk about two very important English consonant sounds.

在本视频中，

我们将讨论两个非常重要的

英语辅音。

The sound /s/ and the sound /θ/.

声音/s/和声音/θ/。

So the /s/ sound and the th sound.

Let's take two example words.

让我们举两个例子。

The first word is the word ‘sink’

with an /s/ sound/

带有 /s/ 声音/“sink”，

‘sink’

The other word is ‘think’

另一个单词是“think”，带有 th /θ/ 声音。
