A video I published a year ago called Sentence Rhythm in American English is one of my most watched videos on YouTube.

我一年前發佈的一個名為 "美式英語中的句子節奏 "的視頻是我在 YouTube 上觀看次數最多的視頻之一。

Viewers said that the technique I showed them in that video was super helpful as they practiced conversational English, and they asked for more videos just like it.

觀眾們說，我在視頻中向他們展示的技巧對他們練習英語會話非常有幫助，他們還要求我提供更多類似的視頻。

I'm so glad the video was helpful, and I'm happy to make another one.

我很高興視頻對我有幫助，我也很樂意再做一個。

Here's a quick review of sentence rhythm in American English.

下面是對美式英語句子節奏的簡要回顧。

When you listen to spoken English, you should hear a rhythm, like da-da-da-da-da-da.

當你聽英語口語時，你應該聽到一種節奏，比如 da-da-da-da-da。

Some syllables are longer, louder, and at a higher pitch.

有些音節更長、更響亮、音調更高。

These are the stressed syllables.

這些是重讀音節。

And some syllables are shorter, softer, and at a lower pitch.

有些音節更短、更柔和、音調更低。

These are the unstressed syllables.

這些是非重讀音節。

Here's an example of stressed and unstressed syllables in spoken English.

下面是英語口語中重讀和非重讀音節的示例。

Let's listen to that sentence again and look closer at which words were stressed and which words were unstressed.

讓我們再聽一遍這個句子，仔細看看哪些詞是重音詞，哪些詞是非重音詞。

Here's an example of stressed and unstressed syllables in spoken English.

下面是英語口語中重讀和非重讀音節的示例。

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.

Here's an example of stressed and unstressed syllables in spoken English.

下面是英語口語中重讀和非重讀音節的示例。

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.

I just clapped to the beat of the stressed syllables.

我只是跟著重讀音節的節拍拍手。

Here's an example.

這裡有一個例子。

Here's an example.

這裡有一個例子。

Can you hear the rhythm?

你能聽到節奏嗎？

Can you feel it?

你能感覺到嗎？

Here's an example.

這裡有一個例子。

In spoken English, only the stressed syllables get the beat.

在英語口語中，只有重讀音節才有節拍。

They are the longest syllables, so they need to stand out from the other unstressed syllables.

它們是最長的音節，是以需要從其他非重音音節中脫穎而出。

The unstressed syllables are said faster, and they can be squeezed between the beats.

非重讀音節說得更快，可以擠在節拍之間。

The words that are typically stressed are the content words.

通常強調的詞是內容詞。

These are the words that carry the meaning of the sentence, such as nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs.

這些詞承載著句子的意思，如名詞、動詞、形容詞和副詞。

These are usually stressed, but not always.

這些通常都有壓力，但並非總是如此。

The words that are typically unstressed are called function words.

典型的非重音詞被稱為功能詞。

These are the words that carry the grammar of the sentence, such as pronouns, articles, prepositions, and conjunctions.

這些詞承載著句子的文法，如代詞、冠詞、介詞和連詞。

The best way to learn about English rhythm is to practice it.

學習英語節奏的最好方法就是練習。

So let's practice English rhythm together with the clapping exercise I demonstrated earlier.

是以，讓我們一起用我之前演示的拍手練習來練習英語節奏。

I'm going to show you some sentences, and we're going to clap together to the beat of the stressed syllables.

我會給你們看一些句子，然後我們一起拍打重讀音節的節拍。

First, I'll say the sentence.

首先，我要說一句話。

Then, I'll say it again, and I'll clap to the beat of the stressed syllables.

然後，我會再說一遍，並拍打重讀音節的節拍。

Then, I'll replay my demonstration, and you'll have a chance to clap with me.

然後，我會重播我的演示，你們有機會和我一起鼓掌。
