We have homophones - two words that are spelled differently, have different meanings, but are pronounced exactly the same.

英文中有一種雖然拼寫不同但發音完全相通，稱為同音字的單字。

Our words today are cellar, or a basement and seller a person who sells something.

今天要介紹的單字是 cellar (地窖)，或稱作 basement (地下室)，以及 seller (賣家)，也就是賣東西的人。

So let's take a look at these words. We have cellar and seller.

先來看看這兩個單字，cellar (地窖) 和 seller (賣家) 吧。

So to say these words correctly, we are going to focus on two syllables: cell and then ler.

要正確地唸出這兩個單字，我們首先要注意這兩個音節：cell 和 ler。

Now I'm going to give you a tip on how to make this a little bit easier, um, so you sound a little clearer. 

我會給你一點如何更輕易地唸出這個單字的小訣竅，讓別人在聽的時候能更加清楚你在說什麼。

So we're going to start with the "s" sound.

我們先從開頭的 "s" 音開始。

To say this sound the tip of your tongue is not touching your teeth.

發這個音時，你的舌頭不應該碰到牙齒。

Can be either right behind your top teeth or pointed down a little bit, either is fine as long as the sound is there and the air is going to move out of your mouth.

你可以把舌頭放在上排牙齒後方，或是向下一點點也沒關係，只要聲音發得出來，且空氣可以從你的嘴巴跑出來就行。

Next we're going to move to that short "eh" sound.

接下來是那個簡短的 "eh" 音。

Your mouth is open. You are just going to see the tip of your tongue poking out between the top and the bottom teeth.

先把嘴巴打開。你的舌頭應該會在上下兩排牙齒之間，探出來一點點。

It's not poking out. It's actually just between the teeth but you can see it there.

但不要把舌頭整個探出來。它實際上只是夾在牙齒之間，但你還是可以看到它。

Now here's the key: we're going to move to the "l" sound.

接下來是關鍵：我們注意的是 "l "的發音上。

To do this, tip of the tongue moves up and it's going to touch the back of the top front teeth, and it can touch right between your teeth and the roof of your mouth.

要發出這個音，你的舌尖要往上移動並碰觸到上排牙齒的後背，並可能會碰到你的口腔頂部。

That is fine, if you need to get super specific.

碰到也沒關係，如果你特別在意的話。

Now you are going to keep your tongue there. "Sell", keep it there.

現在你要保持你的舌頭在那個位置。"Sell"，然後保持舌頭的位置。

Now, you are going to then move from that spot, almost like you're saying another "l", for the second part of the word, and then pull your tongue down to move to that "er" sound.

接著將舌頭從那個地方開始移動，就好像你要說另一個 "l" 一樣，然後將你的舌頭往下移動並發出"er" 的聲音。

Now you have two options for the "er": the tip of your tongue can be either pointed down, or it could be flipped back.

你有兩種發出 "er" 音的方法：你可以將舌尖朝下，或是把舌頭往回捲起。

The key here is, the back of the tongue is pulled up way high, and is tense in the back of the mouth.

這裡的關鍵是，舌頭的背部要拉高，而整個舌頭肌肉的張力應該要在嘴巴的後端。

So let's try this, "cell", and now keep your tongue there and then we're going to move it to the "ler".

試試看吧！"Sell"，然後把你的舌頭固定在那邊，接著移動到 "ler" 的音。

Sell-ler. Seller. (repeated multiple times)

"Sell-ler"。"Seller"。(重複數次)

And now for a sentence: the seller keeps all of his merchandise in his cellar. 

現在用這兩個詞來造句：賣家把所有的商品都放在了地窖。

Give it a try! People are going to notice the difference!

試試看吧！周遭的人肯定會察覺到不同的！
