Let's continue exploring the Continent sounds of American English.

讓我們繼續探索美式英語的大陸音。

In previous videos, I talked about how continent sounds involves some kind of obstruction of the Airstream.

在之前的視頻中，我談到了大陸的聲音涉及到阿斯泰的某種阻礙。

Today, let's talk about continent sounds that are made with the blade of the tongue and the hard palate.

今天，我們就來說說用舌尖的刀刃和硬顎發出的大陸音。

The hard palate is the part of your mouth that is behind your teeth, perhaps 1 to 2 centimeters back.

硬顎是指口腔中牙齒後面的部分，可能在牙齒後面1到2釐米的地方。

Speakers of American English produce four different sounds in this area of the mouth.

說美式英語的人在嘴的這個部位會發出四種不同的聲音。

Those sounds are mhm.

這些聲音是嗯。

Yeah, as in sheep.

是啊，像羊一樣。

Or wish as in genre, which, as in church or chicken and just as in justice or judge, note that the sound, as in genre rarely begins a word in American English.

或希望如體裁，其中，如教堂或雞，公正如司法或法官，注意，音，如體裁在美式英語中很少有單詞的開頭。

In general, words that have this sound at the beginning are of foreign origin, such as genre or Zhaan or Jacques to practice making the as in sheep or wish sound.

一般來說，開頭有這個音的字，都是外來的，如體裁或扎安或雅克，以練習發出羊音或願音的as。

You can start with an S sound as in say, then move your tongue back and up.

你可以從S音開始，比如說，然後把舌頭向後和向上移動。

To make the sound as in shape se shape, you will know you are making the sound correctly when you feel the air cooling off the top of your tongue and the part of your mouth that is just behind your teeth.

要發出如形似形的聲音，當你感覺到舌頭頂部和牙齒後面的口腔部分的空氣冷卻時，你就會知道你發出的聲音是正確的。

Note that my lips are round for all of these sounds.

注意，我的嘴脣都是圓的，這些聲音。

Hmm.

嗯。

Sure the obstruction is inside the mouth, Not outside at the lips.

確定障礙物在嘴裡，而不是在嘴脣外面。

That's all for today.

今天就到這裡吧。

Keep up the good work.

繼續保持良好的工作。
