Welcome to England dot com.

歡迎來到英國點點網。

I'm Adam in today's video.

我是今天視頻中的亞當。

I wanna help you sound more like a native English speaker again, probably Mawr, North American, British, Australian.

我想幫你聽起來更像一個英語母語者，可能是毛爾，北美，英國，澳洲。

They will have their own things to do with this as well as you'll see.

他們也會有自己的事情要做，你會看到的。

But to sound like a native English speaker, you have to know a little bit about the slang and the shortcuts that negatives use.

但是，要想聽起來像個英語母語者，你必須瞭解一點俚語和否定者使用的快捷方式。

So what, we're gonna look at our called acronyms?

所以呢，我們要看一下我們的所謂縮寫？

Acronyms are letters or initials of words, and instead of saying all the different words separately, we just squeeze them all into the first letter of each word.

縮略語是單詞的字母或首字母，我們不需要分別說出所有不同的單詞，而只是把它們全部擠到每個單詞的第一個字母中。

And that's called the acronym.

這就是所謂的首字母縮寫。

So, for example, all of you, I think No, the company I b M.

所以，舉例來說，各位，我認為No，公司I b M。

It's a big international computer company, International Business Machines.

這是一家國際大電腦公司，國際商業機器公司。

So this is an acronym for a company name.

所以這是一個公司名稱的縮寫。

But we also have acronyms for regular words, so we're gonna look at some of these now.

但是我們也有常規詞的縮寫，所以我們現在要看一些這些。

It's very important to remember that these air, generally used in casual conversation, don't use this informal writing.

很重要的一點是，這些空氣，一般都是在閒聊中使用，不要用這種非正式的寫法。

And in certain situations, don't use them in like very formal context, like a business meeting or presentation in a conference.

而在某些情況下，不要在像非常正式的情況下使用它們，比如商務會議或會議上的演講。

But otherwise use them freely.

但除此之外，可以自由使用它們。

Sound like a native speaker.

聽起來像一個母語的人。

So we're gonna go over.

所以我們要過去。

The ABC is now a BCS is not an acronym.

ABC現在是BCS不是縮寫。

It's ABC, like the alphabet.

這是ABC，就像字母表一樣。

This is actually an idiom.

這其實是一個成語。

And when you're talking about the A b CS, you're talking about the basics.

而當你在談論A b CS的時候，你說的是基礎知識。

Okay, so these are some basic acronyms you should know f y i for for your information.

好了，這些都是一些基本的首字母縮寫詞，你應該知道f y i為您的資訊。

So this is commonly used one.

所以這個是常用的一個。

That's when you want somebody to understand something very important that's coming up, for example.

比如說，當你想讓別人明白一些非常重要的事情即將發生的時候。

So it in business, for example, somebody from head offices coming by tomorrow and just f y I they're coming to see you who to promote to headquarters, right.

所以在商業上，比如說，明天總部的人過來，只是f y他們來看看你要提拔誰去總部，對吧。

So just f y I means just to let you know is basically what it means just for your information.

所以，just f y I的意思是隻是讓你知道基本上是什麼意思，只是供你參考。

But just to let you know, they're looking to promote somebody to head office.

但只想告訴你，他們想提拔某人到總部去。

So keep that in mind and be ready and make a good impression.

所以要牢記這一點，做好準備，給人留下好印象。

And maybe it will be you, right?

也許會是你，對嗎？

So f y I just That's why I This is a very common usage, So just f y I do well be impressive.

這是很常見的用法 So f y I just That's why I 這是很常見的用法 So just f y I do well be impressive.

Okay, A que Sometimes you'll see it with dots sometimes you won't so just recognize both.

好吧，A闕 有時你會看到它的點，有時你不會，所以只要識別兩者。

Also known as so when somebody has a nickname or when you're talking about like instead of using quote, you wanna give something a different title, you can say a K a.

也被稱為，所以當有人有一個綽號，或者當你在談論像而不是使用報價，你想給東西一個不同的標題，你可以說一個K A。

Right.

好吧，我知道了

So there's lots of famous people like, uh, Sean Combs, I think a.

所以，有很多著名的人，如， 呃，肖恩-康布斯，我想一個。

K.

I think that's who it is.

我想那就是他了。

I keep forgetting who's who there, but a que when you have a nickname and you have the rial name.

我一直忘了誰是誰在那裡，但一闕當你有一個暱稱，你有rial名稱。

Okay, then you say, also known as to make sure that people can recognize this person.

好吧，那你說，也就是所謂的確保人們能認出這個人。

The president of the United States, aka Donald Trump, also known as Donald Trump.

美國總統，又名唐納德-特朗普，又稱唐納德-特朗普。

Again, a C A.

又是一個C A。

C basically means air conditioning or air conditioner, so it's really hard in here.

C基本上就是空調或者空調的意思，所以這裡真的很辛苦。

Could somebody please turn on the A C?

誰能把A C打開？

Now?

現在？

Most native speakers will not say air conditioner too long.

大多數母語人士不會把空調說得太長。

Why waste words?

何必浪費口舌呢？

Why waste sounds?

為什麼要浪費聲音？

Because somebody turn on the A C right.

因為有人把A C右轉。

Two syllables here.

這裡有兩個音節。

So we have Air Con de Xin owner, Five syllables or a C two syllables.

所以我們有空調德鑫老闆，五音節或一個C兩個音節。

So native English speakers love to take shortcuts.

所以以英語為母語的人都喜歡走捷徑。

They love to use fewer syllables, and that's why there's a lot of acronyms.

他們喜歡用較少的音節，所以才有很多縮寫詞。

There are a lot of shortened words, etcetera.

有很多的縮略詞等。

Okay, so turn on the A C.

好吧，那就打開A C。

I need some a C ASAP.

我需要一些C儘快。

Now, some of these words, if there are vowels in them, like for example, here I don't say.

現在，有些詞，如果裡面有元音，比如說，這裡我不說。

I say a k I don't say aka Sometimes we take the acronyms and we make a word out of it ASAP.

我說a k我不說aka有時候我們把縮寫詞，我們儘快的造出一個詞來。

Some people say asap some people to say, except both okay, but not aka.

有的人說盡快有的人說，除了都還好，但不是阿卡。

Okay, so as soon as possible.

好吧，所以儘快。
