These errors are really strongly influenced by someone's

這些錯誤實際上受一些人的

native language, our strongest

母語，我們最好的語言

and our most dominant language.

和我們最主要的語言

And your native language is a problem for you

你的母語對你來說是一個問題

when you speak English in two main ways.

當您以兩種主要方式講英語時。

Firstly, it acts as a filter when you're listening to English.

首先，它在您聽英語時充當過濾器。

Your brain doesn't necessarily identify or pick up on

您的大腦不一定能識別或接受

all of the sounds that you hear in English because

您用英語聽到的所有聲音，因為

they're foreign sounds or they're different combinations

它們是外來聲音，或者是不同的組合

of sounds that are not common in your own

自己不常見的聲音

native language so your brain might skip over them

母語，所以您的大腦可能會跳過它們

or assume that they're something else instead.

或假設它們是別的東西。

Secondly, your tongue and your mouth

其次，你的舌頭和嘴巴

are very comfortable making sounds from your own

一起發聲沒有太大問題

native language, right? You've been doing it

當你說母語時，不是嗎？你一直在做它

all your life.

在你的一生。

But if there are new sounds, the muscles

feel uncomfortable and it takes a lot of training for them

感到不放鬆，需要很多訓練

to relax and to get into the right position

放鬆並進入正確的位置

so that they can make the correct English sound,

really easily.

真的很容易。

To fix these particular problems is going to take

解決這些特殊問題將需要

a bit of effort on your part or quite a lot, right?

付出一些努力或更多，對嗎？

Deliberately practising.

刻意練習。

Now this is not very sexy English practice, this is like

現在這不是很性感的英語練習，就像

standing in front of a mirror with a list of words

站在鏡子前鍛練

that you know you can't pronounce very well.

你知道你的發音不太好的單詞。

So you need to spend the time working on these

specific problems, working on those muscles.

問題，鍛煉那些肌肉。

You've got to put in the work.

您必須投入、努力地嘗試。

Anyway, I'm starting to sound a bit like your mum

無論如何，我開始聽起來有點像你的媽媽

or someone nagging at you so let's just move on

或有人在嘮叨你…所以讓我們繼續前進

and get started with the lesson.

並開始上課。

The first pronunciation error is a really common one

第一個發音錯誤是一個非常常見的錯誤

for all of my Asian students because

對於我所有的亞洲學生，因為

many Asian languages don't often have words ending

許多亞洲語言的詞尾很少

in consonant sounds.

發出輔音

In fact there are quite a few other languages

實際上，還有許多其他語言

where actually there's only a couple of final consonant

實際上只有幾個輔音

sounds that are used but in English, we have

使用過的聲音，但是用英語，我們有

heaps of words that end in consonant sounds.

一堆堆以輔音結尾的單詞。

And grammatically these final sounds

從語法上講這些最終的聲音

are really important.

真的很重要

Think about the final S for example, which we use

考慮一下我們使用的最後一個S

for all plural nouns and for verbs when we're using

當我們使用所有復數名詞和動詞時

we're talking about the third-person singular.

我們正在談論第三人稱單數。

So that's he, she and it.

那就是他，她和它。

So every time we use one of these English pronouns,

因此，每當我們使用這些英語代詞之一時，

it changes the verb and we add that S.

它會改變動詞，然後加上S。

You take...

你拿...

He takes...

他拿...

I cry...

我哭了...

She cries...

她哭了...

They bite...

他們咬...

He bites...

他咬...

So the pronunciation of that final S is so important

所以最後一個S的發音非常重要

if you want to sound like you're using English

如果您想听起來像是在使用英語

accurately when you speak.

說話時準確無誤。

She laugh every time the dog take a biscuit.

每當狗拿到餅乾時，她都會笑。

It's wrong! Without pronouncing the final S on those

這是不對的！如果我們沒有說那最後一個S

verbs, it sounds like you're making a grammar mistake.

在這些動詞，聽起來好像是在犯語法錯誤。

She laughs every time the dog takes a biscuit.

每當狗拿到餅乾時，她都會笑。

Practise it with me.

和我一起練習。

She laughs every time the dog takes a biscuit.

每當狗拿到餅乾時，她都會笑。

I need four apple and seven potato.

我需要四個蘋果和七個馬鈴薯。

If you're not pronouncing the final S on these nouns,

如果您不發音這些名詞的最後一個S，

then it's grammatically incorrect.

那麼它在語法上是不正確的。

It doesn't matter if in your head it's grammatically

在你的腦海中語法是否正確，書寫是否不同都沒關係

correct or the way that you would write it

在你的腦海中語法是否正確，書寫是否不同都沒關係

would be different,

在你的腦海中語法是否正確，書寫是否不同都沒關係

the way that you're pronouncing it, seems like

您的發音方式似乎令

you're not using the correct grammar.

您使用的語法不正確。

I need four apples and seven potatoes.

我需要四個蘋果和七個馬鈴薯。

There are twenty-four months in two years.

兩年有24個月。

Can you hear that final S on both of those nouns?

您能聽到兩個名詞的最後一個S嗎？

There are twenty-four months in two years.

兩年有24個月。

Nice!

真好！

Now 'months' is a particularly difficult word

現在，“月”是一個特別困難的詞

to pronounce here.

在這裡發音。

There are three consonant sounds together.

共有三個輔音。

That's really hard and one of them is the -th sound.

這真的很難，其中之一是-th聲音。

But when you're trying to pronounce this word

但是當您嘗試發音這個單詞時

in a sentence with other words around it

在句子中加上其他單詞

you're much better off skipping the -th sound

跳過-th聲音會更好

and just saying 'months'

只是說“幾個月”

because people will still understand what you're saying

因為人們仍然會理解你在說什麼

and it's grammatically correct.

在語法上是正確的。

In fact, that's a really good little tip because

實際上，這是一個非常好的小技巧，因為

native speakers do this quite a bit

以母語為母語的人會說很多

when they're speaking quickly.

當他們說話很快時。

We're going travelling for six months!

我們要旅行六個月！

Months.

幾個月。

Pronouncing the final consonant

is not a problem for you, it's just that you tend to

對您來說不是問題，只是您傾向於

add an extra vowel sound on the end of the word.

在單詞的末尾添加一個額外的元音。

You know when it ends in a consonant sound.

您知道它何時以輔音結尾。

And again, this is something that occurs in your native

再說一次，這是在您的母語中發生的

language but it doesn't happen in English.

事，但不是英語。

So how can this little tiny extra sound

那麼，這微小的額外聲音怎麼能

make you sound incorrect or less accurate

使您聽起來不正確或不太準確

when you're using English?

當你用英語？

So listen to what can happen when you add

服務員。

Stop.

So if you need to practise this and you want to

因此，如果您需要練習此方法並且想要

reduce the influence of your native language

減少母語的影響

on your English pronunciation,

在你的英語發音上

then try writing some simple sentences with lots of

words that end in a consonant sound

以輔音結尾的單詞

best ways to practise.

end in /i/

以/ i /結尾

Let's look at words like community, opportunity,

讓我們來看一下一些字如社區，機會，

responsibility,

責任，

ability, reality.

能力，現實。

Now these are challenging to say because of the

現在這些很難講，因為

number of syllables in them.

其中的音節數。

But also in English, we have different stress patterns

但是用英語，我們有不同的「重」讀模式和

and different syllables are stressed in different ways.

不同的音節。

What you need to remember is that

we definitely want to hear that vowel sound on the end.

It's not a stress syllable

這不是重音節

so it's a really soft sound but it must be there.

所以這是一種非常柔和的聲音，但必須存在。

Not

不

Now these errors don't really make you grammatically

現在這些錯誤並沒有真正使您在語法上

incorrect but it does disrupt the flow of your sentence.

錯誤，但確實會打斷您的句子流暢度。

When you aspirate instead of

當你吸氣而不是

just making the correct vowel sound at the end,

只是發出正確的元音，

it changes the rhythm and the pattern in your sentence.

它會改變句子的節奏和樣式。

Like I said, the last syllable in all of these words is

就像我說的，所有這些詞的最後一個音節是

unstressed but it is clearly there.

沒有「重」力，但顯然在那裡。

It's just pronounced as a soft T.

它只是發音為柔和的T。

So if this is a problem for you then let's practise.

因此，如果這對您來說是個問題，那麼請練習。

This is your opportunity to take responsibility.

這是您的機會去付責任。

that English students make that not only sound wrong
