And today we're talking about some expressions, but not the usual expressions we talk about on this channel.

而今天我們要講的是一些表達方式，但不是我們平時在這個頻道講的表達方式。

These are going to be a little bit more formal.

這些都會比較正式。

So my previous videos about expressions have been really, really popular, especially one of the early videos I made about common British English expressions.

所以我之前關於表達方式的視頻真的非常非常受歡迎，尤其是我早期做的一個關於英式英語常見表達方式的視頻。

However, most of these were informal.

然而，這些活動大多是非正式的。

So today we're going to be focusing on some more formal expressions because loads of you have been requesting it.

所以，今天我們將重點關注一些更正式的表達方式，因為你們中有很多人一直在要求。

So today's the day, so we're gonna go straight into it.

所以，今天是個好日子，所以我們要直接進入。

And, of course, I am a pronunciation teacher.

當然，我也是一名發音老師。

So when we are going to be talking about the pronunciation of some of these things as well, I think first impressions are the most important, which is why we're going to start with introductions.

所以當我們要講的也是一些發音的時候，我覺得第一印象是最重要的，這也是為什麼我們要從介紹開始。

So how do you introduce yourself formally many, many different ways?

那麼如何正式介紹自己的方式很多很多呢？

I always recommend a handshake, whether you are male or female.

我總是建議大家握手，不管你是男是女。

Handshakes are widely accepted here in the UK, and it's how we introduce ourselves.

握手在英國被廣泛接受，這也是我們自我介紹的方式。

People have their own different ways of greeting people.

人們有自己不同的打招呼方式。

Maybe that they first met.

也許，他們第一次見面。

Maybe it's for a business meeting or something uh, some people might just say hello or others might say good morning or good afternoon.

也許是商務會議什麼的，有些人可能只是打個招呼，有些人可能會說早上好或者下午好。

It's really up to you.

這真的取決於你。

So let's just talk about the intonation with these words.

所以我們就用這幾個字來談談語氣。

Hello?

喂？

Okay.

好吧，我知道了

Hello?

喂？

Now what we're doing there is We are We have two syllables in the word.

現在我們要做的是，我們是... ...我們這個詞有兩個音節。

Hello?

喂？

Hello.

你好啊

Right.

好吧，我知道了

What we want to do is to show that we're a friendly person by doing this mixture of a rising falling tone.

我們要做的是通過這種升調降調的混合，來顯示我們是一個友好的人。

Hello.

你好啊

And what that does is it just adds a friendliness to our voice.

而這樣做的目的，只是給我們的聲音增加了一種親切感。

A little bit of emotion shows that were a friendly, approachable person.

一點點的情感表明，是一個友善、平易近人的人。

So practice taking that tone up.

所以要練習把這個音調提高。

Down, up, down.

下，上，下。

Hello.

你好啊

It really, really helps.

這真的，真的很有幫助。

In England.

在英國

We really rely on Internation to show what kind of a person we are Really the same thing with Good morning.

我們真的是靠著Internation來展示我們是一個什麼樣的人 真的是一樣的早安。

Good morning.

We're just rising, rising, rising and then falling to show.

我們只是上升，上升，上升，然後下降來顯示。

And all we do is show the hand for a shake.

而我們所做的只是舉手之勞的握手。

So there are three different ways.

所以有三種不同的方式。

遇見你、遇見你或遇見你三種不同的方式。

They are all British.

他們都是英國人。

And then I would usually follow up with a nice friendly.

然後，我通常會跟進一個很好的友好。

So how's your day been so far?

你今天過得怎麼樣？

So how's your day been so far?

你今天過得怎麼樣？

Now, if you've watched my videos about Internation, I have explained before that an open question we will usually use a falling tone.

現在，如果你看過我關於Internation的視頻，我之前已經解釋過，一個開放性的問題，我們通常會使用落音。

So how's your day been so far?

你今天過得怎麼樣？

Going down in another one of my expressions videos.

在我的另一個表情視頻中下去了。

I talked about how we'd say all right to say hello to people informally right now This we would use a rising tone because it's a yes, no question.

我說到我們現在非正式地跟人打招呼，我們會用上升的語氣，因為這是一個是，不是的問題。

Yes, I'm all right.

是的，我很好。

No, I'm not all right.

不，我不是很好。

And that's how it works.

而這就是它的工作原理。

And now that we've spoken about greeting people, what about if we need to apologize to these people?

既然說到了打招呼的問題，那如果我們需要向這些人道歉呢？

It's really difficult to sound friendly and formal at the same time when we're actually apologizing, right?

當我們真正在道歉的時候，要同時聽起來友好和正式，真的很難，對吧？

You could just say sorry.

你可以直接說對不起。

Sorry, but I always find that the word sorry doesn't have enough.

對不起，但我總覺得對不起這個詞不夠用。

Mm.

嗯。

That's the only way to explain it.

這是唯一的解釋方式。

So you need to kind of show how sorry you are.

所以你要表現出你有多抱歉。

If you've done something really bad, you've made a mistake.

如果你做了很糟糕的事情，你就犯了錯誤。

Maybe it's your first day at work.

也許這是你第一天上班。

You need to show how sorry you are.

And if you need to be formal, let me tell you, I apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Meaning?

I'm sorry for any problem I may have caused.

對於我可能造成的任何問題，我很抱歉。

You could even say I'm awfully sorry.

你甚至可以說我非常抱歉。

Now again, there are different ways of pronouncing the word awfully.

現在又有不同的發音方式，awfully這個詞。

Some people will not pronounce the Schwab sound like I did just then.

有的人不會像我剛才那樣把施瓦布的音讀出來。

And it would be awfully awfully.

而且這將是非常可怕的。

Or you could say awfully.

或者你可以說是可怕的。

I'm awfully sorry.

我非常抱歉

Entirely up to you.

完全取決於你。

Most people would say Awfully, awfully.

大多數人都會說，非常非常。

I'm awfully sorry.

我非常抱歉

Now, Internation, with this we want to stress the word that makes it bigger.

現在，Internation，有了這個，我們要強調這個詞，讓它變得更大。

And that's awfully right.

這是非常正確的。

So we need to give more power to that word to show how really sorry we are.

所以，我們需要給這個詞更多的力量，以表示我們真的很抱歉。

I'm awfully sorry.

我非常抱歉

And of course, falling tone at the end to show that we finished.

當然，最後的落音也是為了表示我們完成了。

So let's just practice all flee Awfully and very important word.

Or so just to show that you really are.

或者這樣只是為了表明自己真的是。

Sometimes you might even just say my mistake.

有時候，你甚至可以直接說我的錯誤。

So there's many different ways of doing it.

所以有很多不同的方法。

I would always say, if you're saying the word Sorry.

我總是會說，如果你說的是對不起這個詞。

Add a few more words in the beginning to quantify how sorry you are about something.

開頭多加幾個字，量化你對某件事情的歉意。
