英語課。

I came all the way to New York City to talk to you about the pronunciation of the word city.

我千里迢迢來到紐約市，就是想和大家聊聊城市這個詞的發音。

This is a word that I hear mispronounced a lot in my students.

這是我在學生中經常聽到唸錯的一個詞。

There are two reasons.

有兩個原因。

One.

一。

The vowel in the stressed syllable.

強調音節中的元音。

That should be it, not e uh, The tongue isn't as close to the roof of the mouth see, So there's just a little bit more space between the tongue and the roof of the mouth for the it as and sit vowel and just a little bit more jaw drop.

應該是這樣，而不是e，舌頭沒有那麼靠近嘴頂，所以在舌頭和嘴頂之間有更多的空間，以便發出it as和sit vowel，以及更多的下巴。

See City.

見市。

It's a little bit more relaxed than that.

比這更輕鬆一些。

T that should not be a treaty, but it should be a flap t because it comes between two vowel sounds.

T那不應該是條約，而應該是瓣t，因為它在兩個元音之間。

What can you do that, uh, city city City?

你能做什麼，呃，城市城市城市？

Welcome to New York City.

歡迎來到紐約市。
