情態副詞

I was recently enjoying a latte in a little NYC coffee shop and it reminded me of two iconic NYC coffee shops, the Seinfeld coffee shop and the Friends coffee shop.

最近，我在紐約市的一家小咖啡店裡品嚐拿鐵咖啡，這讓我想起了紐約市的兩家標誌性咖啡店，一家是 "宋飛 "咖啡店，另一家是 "老友記 "咖啡店。

程度副詞

So many pivotal scenes in both shows happened in these coffee shops.

兩部劇中的許多關鍵場景都發生在這些咖啡館裡。

So today, we'll take a scene from Friends and we'll do a full analysis to help us understand the American accent better in order to improve listening comprehension.

是以，今天我們將選取《老友記》中的一個場景進行全面分析，以幫助我們更好地理解美國口音，從而提高聽力理解能力。

By the way, I said so many pivotal scenes in both shows happened in these coffee shops.

順便說一句，我說過兩部劇中很多關鍵場景都發生在這些咖啡館裡。

The definition is being of vital or central importance, crucial.

其定義是至關重要或核心重要、至關重要。

In other words, really important to the storyline, the development of the characters and so on.

換句話說，對故事情節、人物發展等確實非常重要。

First, this is the scene we'll study today.

首先，這是我們今天要學習的場景。

If I were omnipotent for a day, I would want world peace, no more hunger, good things for the rainforest, and bigger boobs.

如果有一天我是萬能的，我會希望世界和平，不再有飢餓，雨林變得美好，胸部變得更大。

If I were omnipotent for a day, I'd make myself omnipotent forever.

如果我一天無所不能，我會讓自己永遠無所不能。

If I had a wish, I'd wish for three more wishes.

如果我有一個願望，我會再許三個願望。

If I were omnipotent for a day, I would want, um...

如果有一天我是萬能的，我會想要...

When you're omnipotent, it means you're all-powerful.

當你無所不能時，就意味著你無所不能。

例如，我們用這個詞來形容上帝。

So now they're discussing, what if I was?

所以現在他們在討論，如果我是呢？

This is the subjunctive mood that is not reality, and that's why we're conjugating to be with were.

這是一種非現實的從句語氣，是以我們將 to be 與 were 連用。

Not reality, but if Phoebe happened to be so lucky as to be omnipotent for a day, this is what she would do.

這不是現實，但如果菲比碰巧有一天如此幸運，成為無所不能的人，她就會這麼做。

If it's something that happened in the past, we would use was.

如果是過去發生的事情，我們會用 "曾經"。

But if we were going to talk about something that didn't happen, then we would say, if

但如果我們要討論的是沒有發生的事情，那麼我們就會說，如果

I were there, I would have said something.

如果我在場，我一定會說點什麼。

So that's the difference between was and were.

這就是 was 和 were 之間的區別。

Were is subjunctive, so they're all using the subjunctive mood here.

Were 是從句，所以這裡用的都是從句語氣。

Hi, I'm Rachel, and I've been teaching English and the American accent on YouTube for over 15 years.

大家好，我是瑞秋，在 YouTube 上教授英語和美式英語口音已有 15 年之久。

請訪問 rachelsenglish.com slash 免費獲取我的免費課程--"實現夢想的三大方法"。

You'll start hearing the difference immediately with this method.

使用這種方法，你會立即感受到與眾不同之處。

If I were omnipotent for a day, so we have three stress words there.

如果我有一天是萬能的，那麼我們就有三個重音詞。

We have if I, I were omnipotent, ne-, and in these cases, all of our stress syllables are going down than up.

我們有 "如果我"、"我是萬能的"、"ne-"，在這些情況下，我們所有的重讀音節都是下行而不是上行。

This is to show that this is the first half of the phrase, and she's going to add more to it.

這表明這只是短語的前半部分，她還要補充更多內容。

She's saying om, om, like with the AH as in FATHER vowel.

她說的是om，om，就像 "父親 "元音中的AH。

Omni-, our stressed syllable has the IH as in SIT vowel, then forget the OH, forget the

Omni，我們的重讀音節的 IH 和 SIT 的元音一樣，然後忘記 OH，忘記

The way that you can help yourself pronounce a long, multi-syllable word more easily is to really focus on stress.

幫助自己更輕鬆地讀出一個長的多音節詞的方法是真正關注重音。

So break it up like this, om, that's unstressed, low in pitch, fast, om, ne-.

所以要像這樣分解，om，這是非重音，音調低，快，om，ne-。

In this case, ne-, it has a change in pitch, down and then up, longer, louder, om, ne-.

在這種情況下，"ne-"的音調有變化，先低後高，更長，更響，om，ne-。

And then two unstressed syllables, potent, potent.

然後是兩個非重讀音節，potent，potent。

And when you're practicing unstressed syllables, see how much you can simplify your mouth movement.

在練習非重音音節時，看看自己的嘴部動作能簡化多少。

If I were omnipotent for a day, omnipotent-tent, and she's doing a stop T here, not releasing

如果我有一天是全能的，全能的帳篷，而她在這裡做停止 T，不釋放

It almost sounds like omnipotent, omnipotent, doesn't it?

聽起來就像無所不能、無所不能，不是嗎？

She's making this more of a flap T. Omnipotent, da-da-da-da-da-da, the tongue bouncing against the roof of the mouth.

她把這個動作做成了 "T "型，"無所不能"、"噠噠噠"、"噠噠噠"，舌頭在口腔頂上跳動。

So we have two unstressed words in a row, and four is really reduced.

這樣，我們就有兩個非重音詞連在一起了，四個詞就真的減少了。

That's going to sound like fur, fur, really just FR, but in phonetics, in the International

這聽起來像 "毛皮"，"毛皮"，其實就是 "FR"，但在語音學上，在國際語言學上

Phonetic Alphabet, we would write it F-schwa-R, fur, fur, fur.

音標，我們會寫成 F-schwa-R, fur, fur, fur。

The R takes over the schwa, fur, fur, fur, fur-a, fur-a.

R 取代了單音，即 fur、fur、fur、fur-a、fur-a。

And the letter A, the article here, is also just a schwa.

而字母 A，即這裡的冠詞，也只是一個單音詞。

So it links together really smoothly, fur-a, fur-a, for a day.

是以，它能非常順利地連接在一起，"毛毛"、"毛毛"，持續一天。

在這裡，我們的話語之間沒有間斷。

So two more stressed words here, and again, they have the down-up shape.

是以，這裡又多了兩個重音詞，它們也是下行上行的形狀。
