I know they sound quite similar but they are different and they are very important in English.

我知道它們聽起來很相似，但它們是不同的，它們在英語中是非常重要的。

So I want you to be able to hear the difference and pronounce them differently.

所以，我希望你能聽出它們的不同，讀出它們的不同。

Let's get started with two example words.

我們先來看看兩個例詞。

The first example word that I have for you is 'ban'.

我為大家準備的第一個例字是 "禁"。

Can you hear the /b/ sound? 'ban'

你能聽到/b/的聲音嗎？'ban'

Now the second word is 'van'.

現在第二個字是 "凡"。

Can you hear the different /v/ sound?

我向你保證，在這段視頻的最後，你會聽到不同的聲音。

And you will be able to pronounce them differently.

而且你還能發不同的音。

So let's get started.

那我們就開始吧。

Okay, guys.

所以你要仔細聽我說

What you're going to do - to produce the sound -

你要做什麼--產生聲音--？

is first you have to know it's a voiced sound.

是首先你要知道這是一個有聲的聲音。

Which means that when you produce the sound, you have to feel some vibration in your throat.

也就是說，當你發出聲音的時候，你必須感覺到你的喉嚨有一些震動。

And what you're going to do is basically push out the air with both your lips.

而你要做的基本上是用你的雙脣把空氣推出去。

Like I said /b/ Watch my mouth.

所以這個有點不一樣。

It is also voiced, so you are also going to have that vibration in your throat.

它也是有聲的，所以你的喉嚨也會有這種震動。

But this time, your lips are not going to touch each other.

但這一次，你們的嘴脣是不會碰在一起的。

And your top teeth are going to be against your bottom lip.

而你的上牙要抵住你的下脣。
