未來簡單式

In today's video, we're going to go over five mistakes that we see our students making when speaking English.

在今天的視頻中，我們要介紹一下我們看到的學生在說英語時犯的五個錯誤。

動名詞

These are bigger picture mistakes and focusing on them can make a huge change in your spoken English.

這些都是比較大的錯誤，關注這些錯誤可以讓你的英語口語發生巨大的變化。

to 不定詞

To help me make this video, we're bringing in a teacher that I've been working with for almost ten years.

為了幫我製作這個視頻，我們請來了一位和我合作了近十年的老師。

He's an accent coach in Rachel's English academy, and I've heard and seen

他是瑞秋英語學院的口音教練，我聽說過也見過。

the stunning results that students can get by working with him.

學生與他合作可以得到的驚人效果。

You may recognize him, he's definitely been on this youtube channel before, the one and only Tom Kelly.

你可能認識他，他以前肯定上過這個youtube頻道，獨一無二的湯姆-凱利。

Hi! I'm Tom Kelly a Rachel's English teacher with Rachel's English Academy.

嗨！我是湯姆-凱利，瑞秋英語學院的瑞秋英語老師。

And today, I'm gonna share with you five mistakes that you may be making

而今天，我要和大家分享的是你可能正在犯的五個錯誤。

that are getting in the way of you sounding like a native speaker. So let's get started.

妨礙了你像母語人士一樣說話的方式。所以我們開始吧

So it may seem like the hard work of speaking American English is learning all the vocabulary,

所以看似美式英語口語的辛苦，其實是在學習所有的詞彙。

working on the rhythm, the intonation, all of that really challenging stuff.

工作的節奏，音調， 所有的真正具有挑戰性的東西。

But in order to even work on that, there's something you may have to do and that is take your face to the gym.

但為了連這一點都能做到，有些事情你可能要做，那就是帶著你的臉去健身房。

All of the muscles and articulators of your face,

right now, they move in a way that comes from you being able to speak your native language effortlessly.

現在，他們的動作方式，來自於你能毫不費力地說出你的母語。

And that's exactly what you want to do  with American English.

而這正是你想要做的美式英語。

Native speakers are speaking English effortlessly, they're not working hard to make any of these sounds,

以英語為母語的人說起英語來毫不費力，他們並沒有努力去發出這些聲音。

they're not running into issues with the TH sound, or the T sound, or the AW as in Law vowel.

他們沒有遇到TH音、T音或AW的問題，如Law元音。

They're able to say it without even thinking about it.

In order to get to that place, you need to open up some more flexibility in the way you use your articulators.

為了達到這個目的，你需要在使用銜接器的方式上打開一些更靈活的空間。

That means kind of loosening up, relaxing them, finding some more options for the way that they move,

這意味著一種放鬆，放鬆他們，找到一些更多的選擇，他們的移動方式。

because right now, you have a strong  habit to move them

因為現在，你有一個強烈的習慣，移動他們

in the way that you use them for your native language. That's why you may have an accent.

在你使用它們的方式，對你的母語。這就是為什麼你可能有口音。

And Tom and I want you to know that we think nothing is wrong with an accent.

湯姆和我想讓你知道，我們認為口音沒什麼不好。

We do not think that everyone needs to sound the same. An accent can be a very beautiful part of your identity.

我們不認為每個人的聲音都需要一樣。口音可以是你身份的一個非常美麗的部分。

We do know that some students have problems being understood, and therefore they lack confidence

我們知道，有些學生在被理解方面存在問題，是以他們缺乏信心。

Other students are very, very good but it's their own personal goal to sound native.

其他同學都非常非常好，但聽起來是自己的個人目標，是本土化的。

So what our goal is to help students meet their own goal, not to eliminate accents altogether.

所以我們的目標是幫助學生達到自己的目標，而不是完全消除口音。

One of the things that I do with my students is I give them drills.

我對學生做的一件事就是給他們做操。

Things that don't sound like English at all, but are actually practicing

聽起來一點也不像英語的東西，但實際上是在練功。

the building blocks of sounding like a native speaker.

聽起來像一個母語人士的構件。

For instance, we'll take the ai as in buy diphthong.

比如，我們就把ai當作買雙音的。

This diphthong requires the tongue to start low in the mouth

這個雙元音要求舌頭在口腔中的起點要低

and then rise in the middle of the tongue as it arches up.

並在舌頭拱起時，在舌頭中間上升。

the tip of the tongue stays low and forward and relaxed.

The jaw drops down but doesn't necessarily go all the way back up.

下巴往下掉，但不一定會一直往上走。

It stays loose and relaxed, the lips, totally relaxed.

它保持著鬆弛的狀態，嘴脣，完全放鬆。

For many students, this is very challenging.

對於很多學生來說，這是非常具有挑戰性的。

To keep the jaw relaxed while the tongue does more work, while the tongue lifts up in the mouth.

要保持下巴的放鬆，同時舌頭多做一些工作，同時舌頭在口中上提。

So this is what I'll have my students do.

所以，這就是我讓學生做的事情。

Very slowly, I have them say this diphthong over and over again but not using the jaw at all,

很慢，我讓他們反覆說這個雙音節，但完全不用下巴。

My jaw, totally relaxed, my lips, totally relaxed, my tongue doing all the work.

我的下巴，完全放鬆，我的嘴脣，完全放鬆，我的舌頭在做所有的工作。

Ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai—

愛、愛、愛、愛、愛、愛、愛、愛、愛、愛、愛、愛、愛、愛、愛。

Over time, you'll be able to do it quickly.

Saying the ai diphthong, trying to move the jaw, not at all or very little.

說ai雙音，試著動下巴，一點也不動或很少動。

Okay, it's possible, and it really does make me focus in on the tongue movement.

好吧，這是有可能的，它真的讓我專注在舌頭的運動上。

It is this kind of practice that helps you begin

正是這樣的實踐，幫助你開始了

learning to have more flexibility from your articulators, that helps you begin to sound more like a native speaker.

學習從你的發音器中獲得更多的靈活性，這有助於你開始聽起來更像一個母語者。

Another example is working on the Flap T sound.

另一個例子是在研究Flap T的聲音。

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da

The tongue was moving and everything else in the face was totally relaxed.

舌頭在動，臉上的其他東西也完全放鬆了。

Making a very quick d sound. Again, jaw  totally relaxed, lips totally relaxed,

發出很快速的d音。同樣，下巴完全放鬆，嘴脣完全放鬆。

just bouncing the tip of the tongue off the  roof of the mouth,

anywhere off the roof of the mouth, it  doesn't matter where,

嘴邊的任何地方，不管在哪裡。

the Flap T can be made anywhere off the roof of the mouth.

瓣膜T可以在口頂以外的任何地方製作。

That means you want to build more tongue flexibility, because we use that Flap T all the time, quickly,

這意味著你要建立更多的舌頭靈活性，因為我們一直在使用那個Flap T，很快。

it's a major part of the rhythm of English.

它是英語節奏的主要組成部分。

If I can't say 'I got it' with a Flap T and I have to say: I got it, I got it, that won't sound like American English.

如果我不能說 "我明白了"，用Flap T，我不得不說，"我明白了，我明白了"，那就不像美國英語了。我懂了，我懂了，那就不像美國英語了。

That quick bounce of the tip of the tongue off the roof of the mouth,

舌尖從嘴頂快速彈起的那一瞬間。

that is what helps you sound like a native speaker.

這就是幫助你聽起來像一個母語的人。

So I really recommend getting into relaxing your face, opening up your articulators to more flexibility.

所以我真的建議你去放鬆你的臉，打開你的銜接器，讓你更靈活。

One resource we have with Rachel's English is a series on relaxation that Rachel and I made quite a while ago.

我們瑞秋英語有一個資源是瑞秋和我前不久做的一個關於放鬆的系列。

And I'll make sure that there's a link to that resource here so you can maybe build a warm up for yourself.

我會確保這裡有一個資源的鏈接，這樣你也許可以為自己建立一個熱身。

Use some of those drills on a daily basis to start opening up that flexibility.

每天使用一些這樣的訓練，開始打開這種靈活性。

Over time, with constant practice, you will end up sounding more like a native speaker.

隨著時間的推移，隨著不斷的練習，你最終會聽起來更像一個母語者。

Mistake number two: stop over pronouncing the sounds of American English.

錯誤二：不要再把美式英語的音讀得太重。

So many of you may have learned to make some of the sounds of American English by

所以，很多人可能已經學會了美式英語的一些發音，由

maybe you'll learn to make that by pulling your lip corners really far wide.

也許你會學著把你的脣角拉得很寬來做。

and maybe that was super helpful to really get a sense for that sound.

也許這對真正瞭解這種聲音是超級有幫助的。

Maybe when you learned the AW as in Law vowel, you really rounded your lips a lot.

也許當你學會了AW如法炮製的元音，你的嘴脣真的圓潤了許多。

啊... ... 啊... ... 和下降你的下巴巨大。

啊，啊... ... 為了找到這個聲音，

Great! That was really helpful for you to learn that sound.

太好了！這對你學習這個聲音真的很有幫助。

Maybe when you practice the ay as in say diphthong sound, you pull wide as well: ay, ay, ay.

也許當你練習ay如說雙音時，你也會拉寬：ay，ay，ay，ay。

Maybe that helped you kind of get a sense for that diphthong the first time you practiced it.

也許這能幫助你在第一次練習的時候，對那個雙音節有點感覺。

But all of those sounds, when spoken by native speakers, have a much more relaxed quality to them.

但所有這些聲音，當母語者說出來時，都有一種更輕鬆的感覺。

The more tension you use to create any sound of American English,

越用越有張力，才能創造出任何美式英語的聲音。

the more it will end up sounding just a little bit accented. It won't sound quite as natural,

越是最後聽起來就越是有點重音。它不會聽起來很自然。

而我們正在尋找這種自然的流動。

To do that, you actually want to do less.

要做到這一點，其實是想少做一點。

You can often simplify the way you're making those sounds.

你可以經常簡化你發出這些聲音的方式。
