Thio Every language.

Thio每一種語言。

Really.

真的嗎？

We're always asking for help for something in our lives.

我們在生活中總是會遇到一些求助。

So it's quite important to understand the different ways we can ask for help in English.

所以瞭解我們用英語求助的不同方式是相當重要的。

There are many different phrases, expressions, words that we can use just to simply asked for some assistance.

有很多不同的短語、表達方式、詞語，我們可以使用，只是為了簡單地請求一些幫助。

Some help.

幫個忙吧

So today that is what we will be looking at, as well as how to actually use your intonation on pronunciation to actually sound like you need help and not to sound like a robot.

所以今天這就是我們要看的，以及如何在發音上真正運用你的語調，讓你聽起來像需要幫助，而不是聽起來像個機器人。

English and welcome to another British English lesson.

英語，歡迎大家再上一節英式英語課。

But really, today is a lesson about all English.

但其實，今天是一堂關於全英文的課。

People from all different countries will use thes phrases to ask for help.

來自不同國家的人都會使用這些短語來尋求幫助。

Firstly, let's take a look at the word help.

首先，我們來看一下幫助這個詞。

I think it's important that we know how to pronounce.

我覺得我們知道如何發音很重要。

The first thing we need to look at is the letter H, so the sound at the beginning It depends what country you're from, But many native languages have a problem with putting too much tightness in the throat, and it could become war the ha sound.

首先我們要看的是字母H，所以開頭的聲音要看你是哪個國家的人，但是很多本土語言都有一個問題，把喉嚨放得太緊，可能會變成war的ha音。

So it's very important, not toe over.

所以很重要，不能趾高氣揚。

Exaggerate.

誇大。

This sound is a very soft, very relaxed sound in English.

這個聲音在英語中是一個非常柔和、非常輕鬆的聲音。

So just softly release the sound help.

所以只要輕輕的釋放聲音幫助。

Okay, so that's the first thing.

好吧，所以這是第一件事。

The second sound is an s sound like in my name.

第二個音是像我名字裡的s音。

Elliott, the tongue is in the middle of the mouth were slightly smiling.

埃利奧特，舌頭在嘴中間都微微笑了。

And that's because the tongue is at the front of the mouth.

而這是因為舌頭在嘴的前面。

Okay.

好吧，我知道了

When the tongue comes to the front of the mouth, the lips will spread slightly.

當舌頭來到嘴前時，嘴脣會微微張開。

Look at my face.

看著我的臉。

My tongue is in the middle area of my mouth at the front.

我的舌頭在前面的口腔中間區域。

Uh huh.

嗯哼。

Uh huh, uh huh, Uh huh.

嗯哼，嗯哼，嗯哼。

Now, this is where it starts to get difficult.

現在，這是它開始變得困難的地方。

We have the dark l So in English, we have the light l love in words like light on.

We have the dark l So in English, we have the light l love in words like light on.

We have the dark hell in words like help.

我們在幫助這樣的詞語中，有黑暗的地獄。

So with the light out, the tongue is pushing up against the top of the mouth.

所以在燈光熄滅的情況下，舌頭是頂著嘴頂的。

And then it flicks down to create a lot love, right, But the dark hell, we're not doing that movement.

然後它就會往下拍，製造出很多愛，對吧，但是黑暗的地獄，我們不做這個動作。

We're just keeping the tongue at the top of the mouth on the sound is more like a hmm.

我們只是把舌頭保持在嘴上的聲音比較像嗯。

A Well, hell, hell, and then we finish with a nice sound.

A嗯，地獄，地獄，然後我們用一個好聽的聲音結束。

So put your lips together and release the sound.

所以把嘴脣合在一起，然後釋放聲音。

Help!

救命！

Help!

救命！

Now I don't usually recommend just shouting this word at someone because it can sound route unless you are in an emergency in public.

現在，我通常不建議只是對別人喊這個詞，因為它可以聽起來路線，除非你是在公共場合的緊急情況下。

So let's say you're in public.

所以我們說你在公共場合。

There are people around, but they don't know about something really dreadful.

周圍有人，但他們不知道一些非常可怕的事情。

That's just happened.

這是剛剛發生的。

Maybe somebody just stole your wallet or your purse or your bag.

也許有人剛偷了你的錢包或錢包或包。

Then what you're going to do is probably shout the word help.

那麼你要做的大概就是喊救命這個詞。

Now you don't just want to say help, help, because what happens there is it sounds very flat.

現在你不要只想說救命啊，救命啊，因為那裡的情況是聽起來很平淡。

There's no tone on.

沒有音上。

People will not here the sense of emergency.

人們不會在這裡的緊急感。

To create a sense of emergency, we need to use an emotional tone.

為了營造一種緊急感，我們需要使用一種情感基調。

We would call this a rise and fall tone or up, down tone.

我們將其稱為漲跌音或漲、跌音。

So instead of being help, it would be help hell up down.

所以，與其說是幫助，不如說是幫助地獄上上下下。

This tone is really important to English.

這個語氣對英語真的很重要。

It creates effect.

它創造了效果。

It creates emotion.

它創造了情感。

It's a very, very powerful tone on it's one which most students who joined my course do not use so again that would be in an emergency if you needed to shout for help.

這是一個非常非常有力的語氣上，大多數加入我的課程的學生都不會使用，所以又會在緊急情況下，如果你需要喊救命的話。

Help!

救命！

Okay, up, down.

好吧，上，下。

Obviously, don't go around practicing this on a train or in a public place because people will think that you're being killed or attacked in the street.

很明顯，不要在火車上或公共場所到處練習，因為人們會認為你在街上被殺或被攻擊。

Make sure you practice this in the comfort of your own home, but now we know how to shout for help.

確保你在自己的家中舒適地練習，但現在我們知道如何喊救命。

Now it's important to maybe ask for help in different ways, maybe in the workplace or from a friend in a particular situation.

現在重要的是，也許可以通過不同的方式尋求幫助，也許是在職場上，也許是在特殊情況下向朋友求助。

So here are a few useful phrases for you, which should be able to help in different situations.

所以，這裡有幾句對你有用的短語，在不同的情況下應該能幫到你。

Firstly, probably one I use the most.

首先，可能是我用得最多的一個。

Um, this is more in a work situation.

嗯，這更多的是在工作情況下。

Let's say there is someone who I need some time from, so maybe I'm working on something, but I need someone to dedicate a bit of time to me.

比方說，有一個人我需要一些時間，所以也許我正在做一些事情，但我需要有人為我奉獻一點時間。

I need them to help me for a little bit.

我需要他們幫我一下。

Maybe it's a manager, someone higher than me or someone who has some really good knowledge on something which I'm working on.

也許是一個經理，比我更高的人，或者是對我正在研究的東西有一些非常好的知識的人。

I would actually say to them their names.

我其實會對他們說自己的名字。

所以我們就說他們的名字是約翰。

I could say, John, could I borrow you for a sec.

我可以說，約翰，能不能借你一用。

Could I borrow you for a sec?

Firstly, sec, some of you might be wondering what the sec mean.

這是第二的簡稱。

It's very, very common for us to say this even nowadays, informal situations.

我們現在即使是在非正式的場合，也是非常非常常見的說法。

It's okay to say SEC, but if you are worried, feel free to say second.

說證監會也行，但如果你擔心的話，請放心地說第二。

So, John, could I borrow you for a second borrow?

那麼，約翰，我可以向你借第二次嗎？

That means Can I take you and keep you for, you know, for a few seconds or a few minutes when we say sec or second, we don't mean one second, obviously.

這意味著我可以帶你，並保持你，你知道，幾秒鐘或幾分鐘 當我們說秒或秒，我們不意味著一秒鐘，顯然。

阿贊，講英語的。

Generally, that could mean anywhere between I don't know, 10 seconds all the way up to 20 minutes.

一般來說，這可能意味著任何地方之間我不知道，10秒一直到20分鐘。

So could I borrow you for a sec?

所以我可以借你一用嗎？

我想說的是

我念的是四。

As for and then using the are to help me connect to the vowel for a sec.

至於然後用are幫我聯繫一下元音。

If you're a bit confused about connected speech, don't have very good understanding off it.

如果你對連接語音有點困惑，不要有很好的理解關。

Like the old phrase a helping hand, um or kind of indirect way of asking someone for help is let me give you an example.

And then he might say, Yeah, what do you need or Yeah.

然後他可能會說，是的，你需要什麼，或者是的。

Do you need some help?

Right, So that's a great way of opening a question you could even say, John, you're good with words, aren't you?

對，所以這是一個很好的問題開場白，你甚至可以說，約翰，你很會說話，是嗎？

Could you give me a hand?

And really, those are the main ways that I've noticed other people and also myself asking for help in various situations.

Honestly, it's absolutely fine to say that, but I'm just here to give you MAWR options on more ways of perhaps being more playful and having fun with your English because we don't want to be bored when we're speaking English and using the same expressions all of the time can often make things quite boring.

說實話，這麼說絕對沒問題，但我只是在這裡給大家MAWR選擇更多的方法，或許可以讓你的英語更好玩，更有樂趣，因為我們在說英語的時候，不希望無聊，一直用同樣的表達方式，往往會讓人覺得很無聊。
