過去簡單式

So you want to learn about American accents. Well, shoot, I'd say you've got plenty to choose from.

你想學習美國口音？好吧，我得說你有很多選擇。

未來簡單式

Today, we're going to talk about some American accents that you might have heard in movies or TV shows.

今天，我們將討論一些您可能在電影或電視劇中聽到過的美國口音。

現在進行式

And I'm going to show you some wicked good slang that's used in different parts of the USA.

我將向你們展示美國不同地區使用的一些低俗俚語。

And for sure, I'm going to teach you how you can speak with some of these regional accents as well.

當然，我也會教你如何用這些地方口音說話。

Now, you know, we got to start with the accent from the greatest city on earth, New York, the Big Apple.

你知道，我們得從地球上最偉大的城市紐約的口音說起，大蘋果。

Now, there are a few myths about the New York accent. And the biggest one is that such a thing even exists because different ethnic communities have all developed their own versions of the New York accent.

現在，關於紐約口音有一些傳說。其中最大的一個是，紐約口音之所以存在，是因為不同的族裔社區都發展出了自己的紐約口音。

But there are a few things that almost every New York accent has in common.

不過，幾乎所有紐約口音都有幾個共同點。

And number one is the dropped R. So it's not car, bar, far. It's caw, baw, faw.

第一個是省略Ｒ。不說 car, bar, far，而是念 caw, baw, faw。

The R sound at the end of the word is dropped.

Number two is the hard TH sound. So if a word starts or ends with a TH sound, we're going to turn that into a dental D or T. So "the" becomes "da".

第二個是硬 TH 音。如果一個單詞的開頭或結尾是 TH 音，我們就要把它變成牙科的 D 或 T。

"What? You never been to da bronx?" Think becomes think. "Use your head, tink."

「怎麼？你沒去過布朗克斯區？」Think 聽起來像是 tink。「動動腦子，想一想。」

Truth becomes trut. "You can't handle the trut."

真理變得真實。你無法接受真相

And number three is that we're going to change the /a/ sound in words like walk and talk to /aw/. Walk, talk. "Don't you walk away when I'm talking to you."

第三，我們要把 "走 "和 "說 "等單詞中的 "aw "音改為 "aw "音。走路，說話我跟你說話的時候，你可別走開。

Those are the biggest changes, but I'll put some useful links below if you're interested in learning more. Let's move on to accent number two.

這些是最大的變化，如果您有興趣瞭解更多資訊，我將在下面提供一些有用的鏈接。下面我們來談談第二點口音。

Now, hold on, hold on. Y'all coming down to the south now. And I tell you what, we speak a little different down here. Yes, sir.

等等，等等你們都到南邊來了我告訴你們 我們在這裡說話有點不一樣是的，先生讓我猜猜你以為南方人說話都很慢，對吧？好吧，祝福你的心臟， 因為那是一堆bulsh。

Now, let me guess. You thought that everybody down south speaks real slow, right? Well, bless your heart, because that's a bunch of bull shit.

I mean, that's hogwash. Because right now, I'm speaking with a Southern twang accent, which isn't slow at all. It's also a little bit nasal and has what we call a rhotic R.

我是說，那是胡扯。因為我現在說的是南方口音，一點都不慢。還有點鼻音，我們稱之為 "R"。

In other words, I'm going to pronounce these words car, bar and farm.

換句話說，我要給汽車、酒吧和農場這三個詞發音。

And you could hear that R sound on the end, right?

你能聽到末尾的 R 音，對嗎？另一方面，如果一個人說的是傳統的南方口音，那就會是汽車、酒吧和遠方，而不是口音。是的，正如您所聽到的，南方口音一般都比較緩慢。除此之外，南方口音和南方鄉音都有兩大特點。第一是針腳合併。

On the other hand, for someone who speaks with a traditional southern drawl, that would be car, bar and far, non-rhotic.

And yes, as you can hear, the drawl is typically a bit slower.

Besides that, there are two big characteristics of both the southern twang and the southern drawl. And number one is the pin/pen merger.

So for southern accents, the vowel sounds /i/ and /e/ are pronounced the same way. So this word is /pin/, but this word is also /pin/. This word is bin, but this word is also bin.

是以，對於南方口音來說，元音ih 和 eh 的發音是一樣的。所以這個詞是 pin，但這個詞也是 pin。這個詞是 bin，但這個詞也是 bin。這是薄荷，這也是薄荷。我本想給你打電話問問本的 pin。第二點是 ih 移位。

This is /mint/, and this is /mint/. "I meant to call you about Ben's pin."

The second point is the /ai/ shift. So in standard English, there's what we call a diphthong in words like my, nice and night.

是以，在標準英語中，我們把 my、nice 和 night 等詞稱為雙元音。

Can you hear how that /ai/ sound is actually two sounds pushed together? I, my, night.

你能聽出 "我 "的發音實際上是兩個音疊加在一起的嗎？我，我的，夜晚

Well, for a southern accent, we cut off that second sound, which gives us /maah/, /naahs/, /naaht/.

對於南方口音來說，我們要去掉第二個音，這樣就有了 "我的"、"好的"、"夜晚"。

"My, it's a nice night for watching a YouTube video."

Number one is that the Boston accent is definitely non-rhotic. We're going to drop those final R's. Car, bar, far. Number two is that the ah sound in words like car and yard shifts to ah.

第一，波士頓口音絕對不是普通口音。我們要把最後的R去掉Car, bar, far.第二，"car "和 "yard "等詞的 "啊 "音會變為 "啊

So we have car, yard. I parked my car in Harvard Yard. And number three is the intrusive R.

所以我們有車，有院子。我把車停在了哈佛院子裡第三項是 "侵入式R"。

So the Boston accent not only drops R sounds, it also adds them. If a word ends with a vowel, and the following word begins with a vowel, we add an extra R sound in between those two.

是以，波士頓口音不僅會去掉 R 音，還會加上 R 音。如果一個單詞以元音結尾，而下一個單詞又以元音開頭，我們就會在這兩個音之間多加一個 R 音。

See if you can hear it. Pizza and pasta are my favorite foods. Pizza and pasta.

看看你能不能聽到。披薩和意大利麵是我最喜歡的食物披薩和意大利麵

And if you really want to sound like a native, don't forget to throw in some classic Boston slang.

如果你真的想讓自己聽起來像個本地人，別忘了加入一些經典的波士頓俚語。

Our last stop on today's accent tour is the golden state, California. And again, there's a bunch of different Cali accents, but the way I'm talking right now is what we might call a NorCal accent. And as you can hear, it's fairly close to a neutral American accent, but there are some subtle differences. So let's talk about them. Number one is that California accents in general are famous for vocal fry, which is the sound your voice makes when you kind of let it sit in your throat. Can you hear how my voice is a little bit grainy right now? That's vocal fry, and you can hear it all over California. Number two is uptalk. And that's when a speaker ends a statement with a rising tone. Yeah, I lived in San Jose for two years, but it wasn't the right fit. My voice is rising at the ends of both those statements, but I'm not asking a question. That's uptalk.

今天口音之旅的最後一站是加利福尼亞州。同樣，加州口音也有很多種，但我現在說的是北加州口音。正如你所聽到的，它與中性的美國口音相當接近，但也有一些細微的差別。下面我們就來談談。第一，加州口音一般以發聲發顫而聞名，發聲發顫是指你的聲音在喉嚨裡發出的聲音。你能聽出我的聲音有一點沙啞嗎？這就是發聲發顫，在加州隨處可見。第二種是上揚音這是指說話者在結束髮言時語調上揚。是的，我在聖何塞住過兩年 但並不合適我在這兩句話的結尾都提高了音調，但我不是在提問。這就是高談闊論。

And number three is what's called the California vowel shift. And this one is tricky because it's a slight adjustment to the pronunciation of a handful of vowel sounds, as you can see in this chart. I'll give you a few examples. I'll do a standard pronunciation and then the California version. Caught, caught. Rude, rude. Time, time. Book, book. It's a small shift, but it's there.

第三種是所謂的加州元音轉換。這個問題很棘手，因為它是對少數元音發音的輕微調整，就像你在這張圖表中看到的那樣。我給你們舉幾個例子。先是標準發音，然後是加州版本。Caught, 抓住。Rude, rude.Time, time.Book, book.雖然變化不大，但還是有的

同樣，如果您想了解更多資訊，請查看下面的說明框。最後

California is famous for its colorful slang. Although, as you might imagine, it's more common to hear young people say things like, dude, these tacos are bomb.

加州以其豐富多彩的俚語而聞名。不過，正如你可能想象的那樣，年輕人更常說的是 "哥們兒，這玉米餅真炸 "之類的話。
