Hey guys, this is the Clear English corner.

嗨，大家，這裡是 Clear English 的角落。

And I'm Keenan, your personal American English pronunciation coach.

我是 Keenan，你的專屬美式發音教練。

A few weeks ago, one of my students sent me an email.

幾週前，我的一位學生寄給我一封 email。

He was getting ready to present his research for his doctoral dissertation and he was working on his introduction.

他當時正準備發表他的 doctoral dissertation 研究，而且在寫他的引言。

In a few quick sentences, he talked about being very happy, very thankful, very lucky, and very excited.

他用短短幾句話，說他感到非常開心、非常感激、非常幸運，還有非常興奮。

He was trying to convey some significant emotions, but

他試圖傳達一些重要的情緒，但是

by using very over and over, the effect was redundant.

一直重複使用 very，效果就變得 redundant 了。

And the same thing happens with the word really.

其實 really 這個詞也會有同樣的狀況。

And if you're not careful, you can end up sounding less animated and interesting than you actually are.

如果你不小心，你聽起來可能會比實際情況更不生動、更有趣。

I'm definitely not saying that you should never use these words, but

我絕對不是說你永遠都不該用這些詞，但是

I want you to be able to incorporate some variety, especially if you're preparing a presentation.

我希望你們都能加入一些變化，尤其是在準備演講的時候。

So in this lesson, we're learning descriptive words to use in place of really and very phrases.

所以這堂課我們要學一些描述性的詞語來取代 really 和 very 的用法。

We'll also practice using these words in sentences with an extra emphasis on using contractions to help you sound more natural.

我們也會練習在句子中使用這些詞語，特別強調使用 contractions，讓你們聽起來更自然。

Alright, so instead of saying you're very happy or really excited, try using the words thrilled or delighted.

好的，所以與其說你 very happy 或 really excited，不如試試用 thrilled 或 delighted。

With that Z consonant sound for our apostrophe S since E is a vowel sound and voiced She's.

用那個 Z 的子音來發 our apostrophe S，因為 E 是母音，有聲的 She's。

與其說非常難過，不如試試 heartbroken。

與其說非常幸運，不如試試 fortunate。

I'm fortunate to be part of such a forward thinking organization.

我真是很 fortunate 能成為這麼 forward thinking organization 的一員。

Fortunate to be part of such a forward thinking organization.

能成為這麼 forward thinking organization 的一員，真是 fortunate。

與其說非常感謝，不如試試 grateful。

再說一次，注意我們是 Is 變成 Were。

Instead of saying something is really or very good, try the words exceptional or phenomenal.

與其說某件事非常好或很棒，不如試試 exceptional 或 phenomenal。

Again with that Z consonant for our apostrophe S. He's.

又來了，那個 Z 音，代表我們的 apostrophe S。He's。

與其說 very dirty，不如用 filthy。

For really or very clean, you can use spotless.

如果想說很乾淨、非常乾淨，可以用 spotless。

Notice too, how the S sound is linking in front of the word always, making it sound like sawways.

注意到 S 的發音在 always 前面連結，聽起來就像 sawways。

與其說 very funny，不如試試 hilarious。
