Today, you're going to join my family at the dinner table, and we're going to study some real English conversation while we make bread.

今天，你們將和我家人一起在餐桌上邊做麵包邊學習真正的英語會話。

This bread takes time to make, so we need to go back in time two days.

製作這種麵包需要時間，所以我們需要回到兩天前。

To start, it's a super simple, quick step.

首先，這是一個超級簡單快捷的步驟。

I have a background in opera singing, and I've been teaching the American accent to non-native speakers for over 20 years.

我有歌劇演唱的背景，20 多年來一直在教非母語人士學習美式口音。

It will give you totally new ideas on how to get the sound you've always wanted.

它將給你帶來全新的想法，讓你獲得夢寐以求的音效。

Take your sourdough starter, which is all bubbly.

拿起你的酸包粉發酵劑，它已經冒泡了。

I just pulled it from my refrigerator, and I'm putting in, shoot, I can never remember if it's 20 or 25. 20.

我剛從冰箱裡拿出來 我正在放進去 我記不住是20還是25了20.

You're going to hear a lot of numbers in this video, but especially 20.

在這段視頻中，你會聽到很多數字，尤其是 20。

Notice how I don't pronounce that second T in 20.

注意我沒有把 20 中的第二個 T 發成音。

It's very common to drop the second T in this word, so it's not 20, but it's 20 or 25.

在這個單詞中，去掉第二個 T 是很常見的，所以不是 20，而是 20 或 25。

Whenever you have a number like 25, 43, or 64, it should always follow this musical pattern.

無論什麼時候，只要有 25、43 或 64 這樣的數字，都應該遵循這種音樂模式。

Ah, so gliding up and down, and then up and down.

啊，就這樣滑上滑下，再滑上滑下。

You might even want to exaggerate that up-down shape of stress to make your speaking even more clear.

你甚至可以誇大這種上下重音的形狀，使你的口語更加清晰。

I can never remember if it's 20 or 25. 20.

I put in 20 grams, and then I can use this to make more bread later, or other things I like to make with my starter.

我放了 20 克，以後可以用來做更多的麵包，或者做其他我喜歡用發酵粉做的東西。

Okay, this is probably going to be too much.

Okay, that is too much, but we're calling it close enough.

好吧，說得太多了，但我們覺得已經很接近了。

另一個類似的詞是 "黏糊糊的"。

I could have also said gluey, having a consistency like glue.

我也可以說是膠狀的，像膠水一樣粘稠。

另一個類似的好詞，"邋遢"（gloppy）。

All of these mean something that's sticky, and the consistency is part liquidy, part solid, just really sticky.

所有這些都意味著粘稠的東西，其稠度部分是液體，部分是固體，只是非常粘稠。

I had a crappy one first that I got rid of.

我先有一個蹩腳的，後來扔掉了。

Crappy is a slang way to say not very good.

Crappy "是一種俚語，意思是 "不太好"。

I didn't like it, so I bought a nicer one.

我不喜歡它，所以買了一個更好的。

I'm going to press the tear button, which zeroes it out.

我要按下 "撕裂 "按鈕，將其清零。

And now I'm adding 100 grams of warm water.

I never go over when I'm doing it by myself.

我一個人做的時候，從來沒超過過。

I'm going to scoop some out, because I feel like being more precise.

我要舀一些出來，因為我覺得要更精確一些。

If you're being precise, you're being very exact, very careful.

如果你要精確，你就要非常精確、非常小心。

For example, I'm not going to put in 101 grams or 99 grams.

例如，我不會輸入 101 克或 99 克。

I'm being very precise, because I feel like being more precise.

我說得很精確，因為我覺得自己更精確了。

And then finally, I'm going to tear it again.

Like I said before, I press this button and it zeroes out my scale.

就像我之前說的，我按下這個按鈕，體重秤就會清零。

So if I put a bowl on it, but I only want to know the weight of what's inside the bowl, I put the bowl on the scale and then I press tear.

是以，如果我把一個碗放在上面，但我只想知道碗裡東西的重量，我就會把碗放在秤上，然後按下 "撕拉 "鍵。

This word is pronounced just like the word T-E-A-R.

這個詞的發音與 T-E-A-R 一模一樣。

This is a verb that means, for example, to divide.

I think of tearing a piece of paper in half.

But what's weird is T-E-A-R, tear, is also pronounced tear, which would be what comes out of your eyes when you're crying.

但奇怪的是，"T-E-A-R "的發音也是 "tear"，也就是哭的時候從眼睛裡流出來的東西。

So tear a scale, tear a piece of paper, and a tear that you cry.

所以，撕一杆秤，撕一張紙，撕出一滴淚。

I'm going to tear it again and add 100 grams of flour.

我要再撕一次，加入 100 克麵粉。

Remember how I was trying to be so precise?

還記得我是如何力求精確的嗎？

If you nailed it, that means you did it so well.

如果你做到了，說明你做得非常好。

Let's say David, my husband, is making a new recipe and everybody loves the meal.

比方說，我的丈夫大衛正在做一道新菜單，大家都很喜歡這道菜。

I can say, wow, David, you really nailed it.

我可以說，哇，大衛，你真的做到了。

And now I am going to mix this up and I'm going to cover it and I'm going to let it just sit on my counter for 12 hours.

現在我要把這個攪拌均勻，然後蓋上蓋子，在臺面上靜置 12 個小時。

Going to becomes gonna in spoken English.

But also, did you notice how I said counter instead of counter?

不過，你注意到我說的是 counter 而不是 counter 嗎？

It's pretty common to drop the T after an N in American English.

在美式英語中，把 N 後面的 T 去掉是很常見的。

And I'm going to cover it and I'm going to let it just sit on my counter for 12 hours.

然後蓋上蓋子，放在臺子上 12 個小時。
