the N and NG sounds.

N 和 NG 的發音。

I've already done some work on the N and NG, but, to recap: the N sound is made when the

我已經在 N 和 NG 上做了一些工作，不過，我還是要總結一下：N 的發音是在

front part of the tongue reaches up and touches just behind the front teeth: nn, nn. The NG

舌頭前部向上伸，正好觸及門牙後方：nn、nn。NG

is made at the back of the mouth: ng, ng. The back part of the tongue reaches up and

是在口腔後部發出的：ng，ng。舌頭的後部向上伸並

touches here. The soft palate comes down to meet it, ng. The tip of the tongue remains

觸及此處。軟顎向下與之相接。舌尖停留在

forward and down. So, the two positions are very different. N: nn, and NG: ng. In this

向前和向下。是以，這兩個位置是截然不同的。N：nn，NG：ng。在這裡

video, you're going to see words with no sound, and I want you to guess if it ends in an N

視頻中，您將看到一些沒有聲音的單詞，我想讓您猜猜這些單詞是否以 N 結尾

or an NG. Because the positions are so different, it should be very easy to see.

或 NG。因為位置不同，所以應該很容易看出來。

What is the final position you see here? You see a good bit of the tongue with the tongue

你在這裡看到的最終位置是什麼？你可以看到舌頭與舌頭之間有一個很好的位置

tip down, that means the tongue is up in the back, so it must be the NG. Watch again.

舌尖朝下，說明舌頭在後面，所以一定是 NG。再看一遍。

What position is this? Looks like the tongue tip is up at the roof of the mouth. Let's

這是什麼位置？看起來舌尖在口腔頂部。讓我們

watch again, and see if you can see the tongue flick up at the end. It must be an N.

再看一遍，看看最後能不能看到舌頭上翹。這一定是一個 N。

What position is this? The mouth looks dark inside. That must mean what's happening is

這是什麼位置？嘴巴里面看起來很黑這一定意味著發生的事情是

happening at the back. So, it must be an NG.

在後面發生。所以，一定是 NG。

Hmm. It's hard to tell what's going on here, as the jaw is quite closed. But, it does look

嗯很難說清楚這裡發生了什麼，因為下巴是閉合的。但是，它看起來

like the tongue tip is down, and the tongue is raised in the back. That must be NG.

就像舌尖向下，舌頭在後面翹起。這一定是 NG。

What sound is this? It's pretty clear that the tongue tip is raised, touching the roof

這是什麼聲音？很明顯，舌尖上翹，觸及舌頂

of the mouth. That must be an N.

的嘴。那一定是一個 N。

Again, it's quite clear that the tongue tip is raised, touching the roof of the mouth.

同樣明顯的是，舌尖上翹，觸及口腔頂部。

This must be an N.

這一定是一個 N。

The space inside the mouth is dark, it's a bit hard to see what's happening. That must

口腔內的空間很暗，有點看不清發生了什麼。這必須

mean the tongue is raising in the back, and not in the front. So, this must be an NG.

意思是舌頭在後面翹起，而不是在前面。是以，這一定是 NG。

Here, after having said this would be an easy exercise, I see it's not so easy. Again, there's

在這裡，在說過這是一項簡單的工作之後，我發現它並不那麼簡單。同樣，還有

not much jaw drop here. Yet, it does look like the tongue is down in the front and raised

這裡沒有太多的瞠目結舌。不過，看起來舌頭確實是在前面向下翹起的

in the back. So, it must be an NG.

在後面。所以，這一定是 NG。

You can see the tongue tip raised in the front, touching the roof of the mouth. This is an N.

您可以看到舌尖在前方翹起，觸及口腔頂部。這是一個 N。

Here it's clear: tongue up in the back, down in the front. It's an NG sound.

這裡很清楚：舌頭在後面，在前面。這是一種 NG 音。

Did you see the tongue tip come up? I think I did, too. In that case, it must be an N.

你看到舌尖翹起來了嗎？我想我也看到了這樣的話，它一定是個 "N"。

Let's watch again.

讓我們再看一遍。

How did you do? If it was easy for you to tell the difference, then I hope it will be

你做得怎麼樣？如果您很容易就能分辨出來，那麼我希望您也能做到

easy for you to pronounce them differently as well. A lot of people have difficulty with

您也可以輕鬆地用不同的發音來讀出它們。很多人對

ending in an N vs. an NG. If you're one of those people, practice with a mirror lists

N 與 NG 結尾。如果你是這樣的人，請對著鏡子練習。

of words and watch your mouth to make sure it takes the correct position.

注意你的嘴巴，確保它的位置正確。
