I've gotten this question a lot lately. It is how  do I pronounce the word work, which is a task a  

我最近經常收到這個問題。它是指我如何讀出工作這個詞，這是一個任務，一個

job or something that has to be done, and walk,  to move on foot. Let's take a look at our words,  

工作或必須要做的事情，而步行，是指徒步移動。讓我們來看看我們的詞語。

um, to say these words correctly, let's  start with that w sound. To make the w sound,  

嗯，要正確地說出這些單詞，我們先從w的發音開始。要發出w的聲音。

your lips are puckered and your tongue is  just kind of flat in the middle of your mouth.

你的嘴脣撅起，你的舌頭只是在你的嘴中間有點平。

Let's also talk about that k sound. To say this  sound, the tip of your tongue is low in your  

我們也來談談那個K音。說這個音時，你的舌尖要在你的嘴裡放低。

mouth, the back of your tongue is pulled up, and  the sound is just going to the air is going to  

嘴裡，你的舌頭後面被拉起來，而聲音就會被空氣帶走。

puff out of your mouth for that k. k k w k w k

從你的嘴裡呼出那個K。 K K W K W K

Okay. So we have the first and the last sounds.  

好的，所以我們有第一個和最後一個音。

Now what's the difference between that oh and  the er. Let's start with that oh sound. To say  

現在，那個 "哦 "和 "呃 "之間有什麼區別。讓我們從那個 "哦 "的聲音開始。要說

that oh sound your mouth is going to be open in a  wide oval shape, the tip of your tongue is going  

你的嘴要張成一個寬大的橢圓形，你的舌尖要...。

to be really low in your mouth, and the back of  your tongue is going to be pulled high up, oh.

在你的嘴裡真的很低，而你的舌頭後面會被拉高，哦。

walk 

走

walk walk

走走走

You can see with my hand, my tongue is flat, it  moves down with the back pulled up for that oh,  

你可以用我的手看到，我的舌頭是平的，它向下移動的時候，後面拉起的是那個哦。

and it kind of stays there for the k.

而且它在那裡停留了一段時間。

Excellent! You can also see that we do not say  the l sound here. So that saves a lot of you  

非常好!你也可以看到，我們在這裡不說l的音。是以，這為你節省了很多

who struggle with that. We just don't say the l  sound. Now for the er sound. You can see my mouth  

糾結於此的人。我們只是不說l的音。現在說說er的發音。你可以看到我的嘴

is in a square tense shape. The tip  of my tongue is either pointed down  

是呈方形的緊張形狀。我的舌尖要麼朝下

or flipped back. It really depends on the  person. The back of my tongue is pulled high up,  

或向後翻轉。這真的取決於人。我的舌頭後面被拉高了。

and it's tense, and it stays there. The tip of  my tongue does not move once I pick my spot. If  

它是緊張的，並保持在那裡。一旦我選擇了我的位置，我的舌尖就不會移動。如果

it's either down or back it stays there. It  does not move. Z. It does not touch my teeth. 

它要麼向下，要麼向後，保持在那裡。它不移動。Z. 它不接觸我的牙齒。

er er er I make my r with the tip of my tongue down: er

er er er 我用我的舌尖向下做我的r： er

work 

工作

work work

工作 工作

You can see my tongue moves from flat, tip  is down, and then the back pulls up more,  

你可以看到我的舌頭從平坦的地方開始移動，舌尖向下，然後後面拉起更多。

while the tip goes even further down for that k.

而尖端的那個K則更往下走。

So let's put that all together again:

是以，讓我們再把這一切放在一起。

work work work walk walk walk

工作 工作 工作 走動 走動

I think one of the other things that I um  realize people do is they try to say the o  

我認為，我意識到人們所做的另一件事是，他們試圖說："我不知道。

in work and we do not say an o and work  at all. It's just that er sound. Now  

在工作中，我們根本不說一個o和工作。它只是那個er的音。現在

what happens when we add an ed suffix to these  words. All we're going to do is add a t sound  

當我們在這些詞中加入ed後綴時會發生什麼。我們所要做的就是添加一個t的聲音

for that e d suffix. So we're going to have  work and walk. To do that, we're going to end  

為該e d後綴。是以，我們將有工作和步行。要做到這一點，我們要把

with that k, and you know the tip of the tongue  is down, then you're going to move the tip of  

你知道舌尖是往下的，那麼你就要把舌尖往下移。

the tongue to the back of the top front teeth.  For that t, pull it down, and the air puffs out.

舌頭到上門牙的後面。 對於那個T，把它拉下來，空氣就會撲面而來。

Let's try them all together:

讓我們一起嘗試一下。

work work work walk walk walk 

工作 工作 工作 走動 走動

worked worked worked walked walked walked

工作了 工作了 工作了 走了 走了

and one more time

和一個更多的時間

work worked walk walked walked worked work walk

工作 工作 走路 走路 工作 走路

And now for a sentence:

現在說一句話。

"I walked to work. The walk helped me to work  harder. I worked so hard after my walk to work."

"我步行去上班。步行幫助我更努力地工作。我在步行上班後工作得非常努力。"

So give it a try I know people are going to  notice the difference. If you found this helpful,  

所以給它一個機會，我知道人們會注意到它的不同。如果你覺得這有幫助。
