I'm Andrea your RealLife English Fluency Coach,

我是Andrea，您的真人英語流利教練。

現在進行式

and today we're taking an in-depth look at a range of British English Accents.

而今天我們就來深入瞭解一下一系列的英式英語口音。

If you haven't seen it already I highly recommend you check out this lesson that we did

如果你還沒有看到它，我強烈建議你看看我們做的這一課。

on little known secrets of the British accent where we had a look at how the British accent

鮮為人知的英國口音的祕密，在這裡我們看到了英國口音是怎樣的。

can tend to get confused and misinterpreted in American TV shows and movies.

在美國的電視節目和電影中，往往會被混淆和誤解。

In today's lesson, we're going to travel around Great Britain to see a range of accents

在今天的課程中，我們將環遊大不列顛，看看一系列的口音。

because there are so many and most of these don't get depicted in TV series and movies,

因為有這麼多，而這些大多沒有在電視劇和電影中得到描述。

so we don't have time to look at all of them.

所以我們沒有時間去看所有的人。

There are very, very many but we're going to start off by taking a look at a few in today's lesson.

有非常非常多，但是我們今天的課程要先來看看幾個。

So Emma Watson is really famous for her portrayal of Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter series,

所以艾瑪-沃森在《哈利-波特》系列中飾演的赫敏-格蘭傑真的很出名。

but as she has become older and I think because she's lived in America more,

但隨著她年齡的增長，我想因為她在美國生活得更久了。

you'll find that her accent has changed a little bit.

你會發現她的口音有了些許變化。

She does have a modern RP accent which is quite popular with youngsters today,

她確實有現代RP口音，很受現在年輕人的歡迎。

particularly in London but also in other parts of Britain.

特別是在倫敦，但也在英國其他地區。

That is to say she does speak more like the Queen's English but a more modern version.

也就是說，她的口語確實更像女王的英語，但卻是更現代的版本。

It's a little bit less formal and you'll hear it  when you see the clip.

有點不太正規，你看片段就會聽出來。

Now, the first thing we're going to take a look at is the way that she says "that I've."

現在，我們首先要看看她說 "我已經 "的方式。

You'll actually hear her saying it more in American English. She says "that I've"

其實你會聽到她用美式英語說得更多。她說 "我已經"

and that is with the Tap T sound so in American English when you don't pronounce the T

而且是用Tap T的音，所以在美國英語中，當你不發T的音的時候

but your tongue hits the roof of your mouth, that is called a Tap T.

但你的舌頭碰到了你的嘴頂，這就叫Tap T。

And that is how she says these two words.

Now in British English we have something similar called a glottal T and there are usually two ways of saying the T.

現在在英式英語中，我們有一種類似的東西叫喉音T，通常有兩種說法。

So if you heard me the first time I said "that I've"

所以如果你聽到我第一次說 "我已經"

so there that is called a true T where you  actually hear the T sound.

所以有那叫一個真正的T，在那裡你實際上聽到的是T的聲音。

Now remember Emma used an American accent here

記得艾瑪在這裡用的是美國口音

and she said "that I've" so a glottal T in British English is where you don't hear the T but there is a sound there.

她說 "那我已經"，所以在英國英語中的喉舌T是你聽不到T，但那裡有一個聲音。

It's more to do with the stopping of the air so I could say "that I've".

更多的是停氣，所以我可以說 "那我已經"。

So you don't hear the T but i'm stopping the air from coming out of my mouth

所以你聽不到T的聲音，但我在阻止空氣從我的嘴裡出來。

and then it's released so it's quite subtle,  but you do hear a difference.

然後它的釋放，所以它是相當微妙的，但你確實聽到了一個差異。

"that I've" you can have the true T "that I've" and then you have the glottal T "that I've"

"that I've "你可以有真正的T "that I've "然後你有喉音T "that I've"

so you can notice the difference there if you listen very closely.

所以，如果你仔細聽的話，你可以發現那裡的區別。

So just to explain it a little bit further the glottal T is used when the T comes in the middle of a word

所以，為了進一步解釋，當一個詞的中間出現T的時候，就會使用喉舌T。

If a T is at the start of the word we always pronounce it.

如果單詞的開頭有一個T，我們就會一直念下去。

So you can hear a glottal T in words such as "water".

所以在 "水 "等詞中可以聽到一個喉音T。

So that's a true T where I'm pronouncing the T "water" but with a glottal T we would say "water".

所以這就是一個真T，我把T念成了 "水"，但如果是喉音T，我們會說 "水"。

So that's kind of very Cockney but it is also found in many other parts of Britain where people use a glottal T.

所以，這是一種非常科克尼，但它也發現在許多其他地區的英國，人們使用喉舌T。

Other words such as "city" so with a true T: "city"  and with the glottal T "city".

其他如 "城 "字，所以用真T。"城市 "和帶喉音的 "城市"。

So, I'm holding in that air when I'm not pronouncing the T sound, and then I release it so "city"

所以，我在不發T音的時候，就憋著那股氣，然後再放開，這樣 "城"

It's quite in the throat, and there is a sound there so there is a sound there but you cannot hear the T

很在喉嚨裡，那裡有聲音，所以那裡有聲音，但你聽不到t

and when you have that T sound at the end of words, it might sound like this so instead of saying "light"

當你在單詞的結尾發T音時，它可能聽起來像這樣，所以不要說 "光"

I would say "light" and instead of saying "right" I would say "right".

我會說 "輕"，而不是說 "對"，我會說 "對"。

Now if you listen to the way that Emma says "put together" you'll notice that the first T is not sounded.

現在如果你聽艾瑪說 "放在一起 "的方式，你會發現第一個T沒有發聲。

This is because T is a plosive speech sound.

That is to say, when you make that sound some air is released.

也就是說，當你發出這種聲音時，會釋放出一些空氣。

So what happens when two T's come together at the end of one word and at the start of another

那麼，當一個詞的結尾和另一個詞的開頭出現兩個T的時候，會發生什麼呢？

is that first one is not released because it just wouldn't sound right.

是，第一個是不釋放 因為它只是不會聽起來正確的。

It would be really strange to try and pronounce them both, and say "put together".

如果想把它們兩個都念出來，說成 "放在一起"，那真是太奇怪了。

It just seems like too much effort, so to make it easier that first one comes away and we say "put together".

只是覺得太費勁了，所以為了方便起見，第一個人走了，我們說 "拼了"。

Now the schwa sound which you may have heard about is probably the most common sound

現在，你可能已經聽說過的schwa音可能是最常見的聲音。

and the one that you would really need to learn about if you want to sound like a British native.

如果你想聽起來像個英國人，你真的需要學習一下。

So where words end with "er" for example we don't really pronounce that R again.

所以，比如說凡是以 "er "結尾的單詞，我們並不會再真正地讀出那個R。

It has more of an sound as in "umbrella".

So rather than saying "together" and pronouncing that r or like in american english saying together,

所以與其說 "在一起"，不如說 "r "的發音，或者像美式英語那樣說在一起。

在英國英語中，我們說 "一起"。

So you can hear it in words such as "together, brother, mother".

所以你可以從 "一起、哥哥、媽媽 "等詞語中聽到。

So I hope you can hear that at the end there that is the schwa sound.

所以，我希望你能聽出，在那裡的最後，那是schwa音。

So it's more of an "uh" sound. You'll hear it in other words as well not just words that end with er.

所以更多的是 "呃 "音。你會在其他詞中聽到它，也不只是以er結尾的詞。

For example, you'll hear it in survive so we don't say survive we say survive it's very very subtle.

比如說，你在生存中會聽到，所以我們不說生存我們說生存它是非常非常微妙的。

So next we're going to travel up north and take a look at the Manchester accent which we actually call a Mancunian accent.

所以接下來我們要去北方，看看曼徹斯特口音，其實我們稱之為曼昆口音。

We're going to take a little look at Liam Gallagher, who does have quite a strong accent

我們來看看利亞姆-加拉格爾 他的口音確實很重

but we're going to look at how he pronounces some words so as I mentioned before even in Cockney London

但我們要看看他是如何發音的一些單詞 所以就像我之前提到的 即使在倫敦的Cockney，也是如此

accent the h at start of words is often not sounded out and you'll hear Liam Gallagher do that as well in this clip

詞首的 "h "往往聽不出來，在這個片段中，你會聽到Liam Gallagher也這樣做。

so instead of saying "have" he'll say "av" so instead of saying "I had a good time"

所以他不說 "有 "就說 "有"，所以不說 "我很開心"

some people might say "I ad a good time".

another interesting word that he pronounces here is glasses

另一個有趣的詞，他在這裡發音是眼鏡。

so he actually says glasses and this is really more in north of england as well as scotland and wales

所以他實際上說眼鏡，這真的是更在英格蘭北部以及蘇格蘭和威爾士。

it's only more in the south and in particular london where we say these words with a longer r sound

只有在南方，特別是在倫敦，我們說這些詞的時候才會有較長的r音。

so generally in britain you'll hear words like glass dance pass with a shorter a sound

所以一般在英國，你會聽到像玻璃舞這樣的詞，會用較短的音來傳遞。

glass dance pass but in london and accent we have that elongated r sound.

玻璃舞通，但在倫敦和口音，我們有拉長R的聲音。

Did you notice how instead of saying myself he actually said myself

你有沒有注意到，他沒有說我自己，而是說我自己。

now i think historically this was an influence from Irish English because in the north of england

我認為歷史上這是受愛爾蘭英語的影響，因為在英格蘭北部...

especially liverpool is very close to the um to the sea and very close to ireland and so over time

特別是利物浦離海很近 離愛爾蘭也很近 所以隨著時間的推移

the irish actually influenced the way that brits would say particular words so definitely in the north of england

愛爾蘭人實際上影響了英國人說特定單詞的方式 所以在英格蘭北部肯定是這樣。

you will hear people often say myself instead of myself

你會聽到人們經常說我自己，而不是我自己。

so we're now going to journey back down a little bit in between london and manchester to birmingham

所以我們現在要回程下來一點點 在倫敦和曼徹斯特之間的伯明翰。

so birmingham is found in the midlands and we're going to be looking at a clip from peaky blinders

所以，伯明翰是發現在中部地區，我們要去尋找 從Peaky盲目的剪輯。

now it's worth noting that even i struggle to understand them when they speak sometimes on peaky blinders

現在值得注意的是，即使是我也很難理解他們，當他們說話有時在高峰期盲目的

and i do actually watch the show with subtitles to make sure i don't miss anything

我其實看節目的字幕，以確保我不會錯過任何東西。

but if you do ever visit birmingham itself you'll find this accent is not quite as strong as in the show

但如果你去過伯明翰，你會發現這種口音並不像劇中那麼強烈。

and you will understand people a lot better so one thing that's really distinctive in this accent is the way

你會更好地理解人們的意思 所以這種口音的一個特點就是

they pronounce the uh so it's that u sound that's found in the middle of words or sometimes at the start

他們發uh的音，所以它是u的音，發現在單詞的中間或有時在開頭

and in london for example we would pronounce this as uh so when i say us it has that sound that you would

而在倫敦，例如，我們會發音為呃 所以當我說我們，它有這樣的聲音，你會。

associate with the letter but here you can hear them say "ooz"

但在這裡你可以聽到他們說 "ooz"

and you hear it in the way that they say pub as well

你聽到它的方式，他們說酒吧以及

so in the south of england we would say pub but as you can hear in the birmingham accent we can hear pub

所以在英格蘭南部，我們會說是酒吧，但你可以聽到在伯明翰的口音，我們可以聽到酒吧。

so it has more of an uh sound quite a short uh sound maybe as in good this sound is synonymous with more

所以，它有更多的呃的聲音相當短的呃的聲音，也許是在好這個聲音是更多的代名詞。

northern accents you will hear it the further north you go up um in the british isles so it's not just a birmingham

北方口音，你會聽到它越往北走，你去了嗯在不列顛群島，所以它不只是一個伯明翰。
