And Lion.

和獅子。

Now, Dev is different to Deepika given

現在，德夫與迪皮卡不同，因為

that he is a native British English speaker.

他是一個以英國英語為母語的人。

So there's probably not much merit in talking about his English,

所以說他的英語可能沒什麼優點。

but what about his accent? Given that Dev has acted in a

但他的口音呢？鑑於德夫曾在

系列電影，他有很多不同的。

roles it means that characters that he has played

所以，正如你在這節課中看到的，Dev Patel

offers four great insights that can really help

提供了四個重要的見解，可以真正幫助

you along in your english language journey.

你沿著在你的英語語言之旅。

So let's take a look! So, our first insight is that you can leave a

那麼我們就來看看吧!那麼，我們的第一個見解是，你可以留下一個

hint of your native accent.

你的家鄉口音的暗示。

So, what does Dev Patel actually mean by this?

那麼，德夫-帕特爾這樣做到底是什麼意思呢？

What he's saying is that when he was putting on his American accent

他說的是，當他裝出美國口音的時候... ...

he actually left a little bit of his native British

他實際上留下了一點他的英國本土。

accent there also. So he did this on purpose and whilst he mostly

也有口音。所以他是故意這樣做的，雖然他主要是...

sounded American there was still a hint of his British accent there too.

聽起來像美國人，但還是有一絲英國口音。

There's probably not a lot of English language learners that can completely

可能沒有多少英語學習者能完全做到

fool someone into thinking that they are native.

糊弄人，讓人以為自己是本地人。

However if you do tend to keep a hint of your native accent, it tends to sound

然而，如果你確實傾向於保持你的本土口音的暗示，它往往會聽起來

a bit more exotic which is really nice as well.

更多的異國情調，這也是真的很好。

So we've seen that some actors like Deepika Padukone,

所以我們已經看到，一些演員，比如迪皮卡-帕杜柯內。

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sofia Vergara proudly keep their native accent,

阿諾-施瓦辛格和索菲亞-貝爾加拉自豪地保持著自己的鄉音。

while still speaking exceptional English it's important to note that you want to

同時還能說一口出色的英語，需要注意的是，你要做到的是

be able to communicate clearly and work on your pronunciation, but you

能夠清楚地交流，並鍛鍊自己的發音，但你

don't have to speak with a perfect American or British accent.

不一定要用完美的美國或英國口音說話。

Now, number two is don't be afraid to exaggerate. So what Dev is saying here

現在，第二條就是不要怕誇大。所以德芙在這裡說的是

is that when working on his accent he tends to exaggerate them

就是他在練習口音的時候 往往會把口音誇大一些

now while this might sound silly to begin with,

現在，雖然這可能聽起來愚蠢的開始，

it can really help in perfecting your accent

妙語連珠

and then as you work on it you can then start to tone it down,

然後隨著你的努力，你就可以開始調低它。

so that it sounds more natural. Let's hear what he had to say about this.

以便聽起來更自然。我們來聽聽他是怎麼說的。

As an English teacher i've found that this has actually really

作為一個英語老師，我發現這其實真的是一個很好的選擇。

helped me when learning Spanish. What I tend to do is I sometimes imitate

在學習西班牙語的時候，幫助了我。我傾向於做的是，我有時會模仿

my students accent when speaking in English.

我的學生用英語說話時的口音。

And that's really helped me when perfecting

這真的幫助我完善了

my pronunciation in Spanish. I also do this sometimes with my favorite Spanish

我在西班牙語中的發音。我有時也會用我最喜歡的西班牙語

actress Penelope Cruz and it really helps when working on pronunciation.

女演員佩內洛普-克魯茲，在練習發音的時候，它真的很有幫助。

Although i'm sure people can tell that

雖然我相信人們可以告訴

I'm a foreigner when I speak in Spanish it has really helped to make my

我是一個外國人，當我用西班牙語說話的時候，它真的幫助了我。

pronunciation clearer. And although people know that i'm a

發音更清晰。雖然人們知道我是一個

foreigner, they usually can't guess that I'm actually British.

外國人，他們通常猜不到我其實是英國人。

So at first you might feel a little bit silly

所以一開始你可能會覺得有點傻傻的

when really putting on an exaggerated

誇張

American or British accent, but it's really going to help you later

美式或英式口音，但它真的會對你以後有幫助的

on when you're having those conversations in English.

在你用英語進行這些對話的時候。

Sometimes just to have a bit of fun, I've even done it myself when putting on an

有時只是為了找點樂子，我甚至自己在穿上一個

American accent just from growing up and watching so

美國口音只是因為長大了，看了這麼多的

many tv series and movies in American English with the accent and

眾多美式英語電視劇和電影的口音和。

everything, and even singing songs it can be really

什麼都有，甚至連唱歌都可以真的是

really fun, and just a fun way of learning and practicing this.

真的很有趣，也只是一種有趣的學習和實踐方式。

Number three is drill again and again

三是反覆演練

Wouldn't you feel flattered if someone told you that your British

如果有人告訴你，你的英國人，你會不會覺得受寵若驚？

accent was "spot on"? Or what if they told you that you

口音是 "一針見血"？或者，如果他們告訴你，你

"nailed" your American accent? These are both

"釘住 "你的美國口音？這些都是

words used to describe someone's adopted accent.

口音

Well if you aspire to that kind of flattery, Dev makes it really clear here:

好吧，如果你嚮往這種奉承，德芙在這裡說得很清楚。

You have to drill. So drilling is another way to describe

你必須要鑽。所以鑽井是另一種描述方式

practicing, only it can be more repetitive and monotonous.

練，只不過會比較重複和單調。

Another way of describing it

另一種描述方式是

is "deliberate practice", which is something that athletes do that sets

是 "刻意練習"，這是運動員做的事情，集聚了

them apart from everybody else. If they want to improve on a

他們與其他人不同。如果他們想改善

particular area they will drill and they will get better

他們會在特定的區域進行鑽探，他們會得到更好的服務

at it over and over and over again with that deliberate practice,

在那刻意的練習下，一遍又一遍地。

which sets them apart from the rest and is something that amateurs don't do.

這讓他們與眾不同，也是外行做不到的。

If you have patience, drilling ten words or ten sentences, for example

如果你有耐心，鑽研十個單詞或十個句子，比如說。

every day, is really going to get you closer to your goal.

每天，是真的會讓你離目標更近。

The fourth insight is shadowing.

第四種見解是影子。

Now, while Dev did not use this word in his explanation he is talking about "shadowing".

現在，雖然德夫在解釋中沒有使用這個詞，但他說的是 "影子"。

So in this clip Dev is explaining about

所以在這個片段中，Dev正在解釋關於

a role that he played in the film The Second Best Exotic

二世為人

Marigold Hotel, where he played a character with a

really strong Indian accent. Let's take a look.

真正濃重的印度口音。讓我們來看看。

Shadowing is another way of saying mimicking.

影子是模仿的另一種說法。

So, what you would do is when you're watching TV,

所以，你會做的是當你在看電視的時候。

or when listening to a song,

或聽歌時。

or watching a movie you would actually copy or mimic what that person is saying

或者看電影的時候，你會真的複製或模仿那個人說的話

and the way that they are saying it. When you mimic someone or you shadow a

說話的人，你不只是複製他們的話。

You would also copy their intonation, their pauses and their tones.

You might even have a look at the way their mouth moves when they articulate certain words

你甚至可以看看他們在表達某些詞語時嘴部的運動方式

Shadowing is a form of speaking however because you are copying what the other

影子是一種說話的形式，然而因為你是在複製對方的

person is saying, you don't even have to think about the grammar at all.

的人說，你甚至根本不用考慮文法問題。

So you're really focusing on your pronunciation

所以你真的很注重你的發音。

and your articulation, which is a great way to practice this.

和你的銜接，這是一個很好的練習方式。

It leaves all your mental power and focus

把所有的精神力量和注意力都留在了這裡

on the phonetics of the language. One technique that I would always recommend

在語言的語音上。我一直推薦的一個技巧是

to my students was to choose an English-speaking mother or father

對我的學生來說，選擇一個會講英語的母親或父親。

So this isn't literally choosing a new parent,

所以這不是字面上的選擇新的父母。

it's choosing someone that you want to

這是選擇一個人，你想

emulate or imitate, all aspects of the way that they speak.

模仿或模仿，各方面的說話方式。

Just like a baby, learning how to speak from their mother and father

就像一個嬰兒，從他們的母親和父親那裡學習如何說話。

What Dev explains here is that he chose

one particular uncle. So the tip here is, for example
