you confused or do you become a little bit scared when you see this 'q' and 'u' together,

當你看到這個'q'和'u'在一起時，你會感到困惑還是有點害怕？

and you're not too sure how to pronounce it?

你還不確定如何發音？

First of all one very important spelling trick, especially if you do crosswords is "q" must

首先，有一個非常重要的拼寫技巧，尤其是如果你做填字遊戲的話，那就是"q"必須

always be followed by "u" in English. So every time you have a "q" you must follow it by

在英語中，"q"後面必須跟"u"。是以，每次使用 "q" 時，必須在後面加上

a "u". This is the capital "Q" and this is the baby, small "q."

一個"u"。這是大寫的"Q"，這是小寫的"q."；

Most of the times when you see the "q" written it will be with a smaller "q" so spelling

大多數情況下，當你看到"q"的寫法時，都會用一個較小的"q"，所以拼寫時要注意

"q-u" 100% of the time, all of the time. Pronunciation is like this. It sounds like a "k" and a "w"

"q-u"100%的時間，所有的時間。發音就是這樣。聽起來像一個"k"和一個"w"；

together, so the sound is like '"kw" - "kw" - "kw" - "kw" -"kw" -"kw." Try and do that,

合在一起，聲音就像 '"kw" - "kw" - "kw" - "kw" - "kw" - "kw" - "kw." 試著這樣做、

"kw" - "kw." Your mouth goes open at the end.

"kw" - "kw." 最後你的嘴張開了。

Let's try our very first word. It's a word that's very common in a lot of story books

讓我們試試第一個單詞。這是一個在很多故事書中都很常見的單詞

for children or in newspapers. The first word is "queen - queen." So if you take the first

兒童或報紙。第一個單詞是"queen - queen."所以，如果你把第一個單詞

'"q-u" sound, you're going to make it like a "kw", so it's like "queen' - "queen". The

'"q-u"音，你要把它發成"kw"音，這樣就像"queen'-"queen"。的發音。

queen, of course, is always a woman who is married to a "king." The king and the queen

當然，王后總是嫁給國王的女人。

sometimes are monarchs of some countries.

有時是一些國家的君主。

The next word is "q-u - quilt, q-u - quilt." When you say the "q-u" sound, it is unvoiced

下一個單詞是"q-u - quilt, q-u - quilt."，當您發出"q-u"音時，它是不發音的。

so it does not vibrate, so it's "q-u - q-u - quilt." A quilt, it's a blanket. Sometimes

所以它不會振動，所以它是 "q-u-q-u-被子"，"被子"，是一條毯子。有時

people do "quilting" as a hobby, but a "quilt" is just basically a difficult word to pronounce

人們把 "拼布 "作為一種愛好，但 "拼布 "基本上是一個很難發音的詞

for blanket, again it's the "k and w" - "quilt."

對於毯子來說，又是&#39；&quot；k 和 w&quot；--&quot；quilt.&quot；

The other thing that's very important is that you always are very, very strong in your pronunciation

還有一點非常重要，那就是你的發音要非常非常標準。

of the "t"' sound at the end of the word, because if you don't, it could sound like

因為如果你不這樣做，它可能聽起來像

this word "quill", so if you don't say the "t" here, it could sound like you're saying

這個詞"quill"，所以如果你不在這裡說"t"，聽起來就像是在說

"quill."

"quill.&quot；

"Quill" is a very, very old writing instrument that they used hundreds of years ago and it

鵝毛筆是一種非常非常古老的書寫工具，幾百年前人們就開始使用它了。

was basically a feather. What is a feather? A feather is a bird hair. Let me draw you

基本上就是一根羽毛。什麼是羽毛？羽毛就是鳥的毛髮。我給你畫

a feather, shall I? So a "quill" is a bird feather and what they did was, they put ink

一根羽毛，可以嗎？鵝毛筆就是鳥的羽毛，他們的做法是，把墨水

at the nib of the feather, and they were able to write before they had the modern pens,

在擁有現代筆之前，他們就已經能夠書寫了、

pencils, or iPhones. This word is "quill - quill, not quilt."

鉛筆或 iPhone。這個詞是"quill - quill，而不是 quilt.&quot；

And the one in-between, this we don't really use this word a lot, but it is still in our

而介於兩者之間的，我們並不經常使用這個詞，但它仍然在我們的

vocabulary, in my vocabulary. This word is "quaint." "That's quaint." "Quaint" means

在我的字典裡。這個詞是"quaint.""That's quaint.""Quaint"（古色古香），意思是

it's cute or nice. Some very, very small cities in Canada, that haven't been overrun with

可愛或漂亮。加拿大的一些非常非常小的城市，還沒有被大量的

condominiums you could describe as being quaint. So: "queen, quilt, quaint, and quill" If you

你可以用 "古色古香 "來形容公寓。所以："大號、被子、古色古香、鵝毛筆"如果您

can practice the "kw" sound, you'll have much ease at saying these words.

如果您能練習"kw"音，那麼說這些單詞時就會輕鬆許多。

The next three words, they're a "doozy" and by "doozy" I mean "Oh, my god. How do I say

接下來的三個字，是個 "嘟 "字，"嘟 "的意思是 "哦，天哪"。我該怎麼說

this one? How do, which, which, which?" Even when I read these words or see these words,

這個？甚至當我讀到這些詞或看到這些詞的時候、

I have to think about is it "quaint, quick, quiet?" What, what, what was it? What is it?

我必須想一想，它是否古樸、快速、安靜？是什麼？

So let me help you. What you have to do is look at the spelling of these words. This

讓我來幫你。你要做的就是看看這些單詞的拼寫。這個

one's the easiest, because you have the "kw" sound, and then you have "it." So it's "kw

一個最簡單，因為你有"kw"音，然後你有"it."，所以是"kw"。

- it - q-u - it - quit. "Quit" means to stop doing something. So, for example, you can

- it - q-u - it - quit。"Quit"的意思是停止做某事。是以，舉例來說，您可以

"quit smoking." You can "quit your job." You can "quit learning English, but you can't

你可以戒菸，你可以不工作，你可以不學英語，但你不能

do that now," so this word is "quit." It means to stop doing something.

所以這個詞是"quit."，意思是停止做某事。

This word is almost the same spelling as this word, and this word, but there is sneaky little

這個詞的拼寫與這個詞和這個詞幾乎一樣，但有一個偷偷摸摸的小

"e" here. So if you have the first part of the word, it's "k-w" with our "k-w" sound.

這裡是"e"。是以，如果你有單詞的第一部分，它就是"k-w"，帶有我們的"k-w"音。

Then we have an "i" and you can say it like an "i." And then we have "e-t" at the end,

然後我們有一個"i"，你可以像說"i."那樣說，最後我們有"e-t"、

so it's "k-w - i - e-t - quiet" This word "sh-h-h- quiet" means don't talk. So this

所以是"k-w-i-e-t-quiet"這個詞"sh-h-h-quiet"的意思是不要說話。所以這個

word you can break down, as a "q-u" sound, so "k-w and i, and an e-t" is "quiet - quiet

可以分解的單詞，如"q-u"音，所以"k-w 和 i，以及 e-t"is "quiet - quiet

- quit."

- 退出；

Then we come to this one with the "e" at the end. This word is "quite - quite". So it would

然後是這個詞尾帶"e"的單詞。這個詞是"相當--相當"。所以它應該

rhyme with the word "white". So you can rhyme "quite, and white - quite - white". "Quite"

與"white"押韻。是以可以押韻"quite,white-quite-white"；

basically means "very." I can say "Wow, it's quite cold today in Canada." It's the same

我可以說"哇，今天加拿大挺冷的"。

as saying it's very cold.

說它很冷。

The reason why this is so difficult is because you only have one letter. The only thing that's

之所以如此困難，是因為你只有一個字母。唯一

different here is the "e" has switched positions this one is easier, because there is no "e."

不同的是，這裡的"e"調換了位置，這個比較簡單，因為沒有"e.&quot；

So one more time, this is "quite - quiet - sh-h-h, and quit."

所以，再來一次，這是 "相當--安靜--噓--噓，不幹了"；
