Today I am going to teach you how to pronounce contractions for the word "would". Okay?

今天，我將教大家如何發音"would"這個詞的縮略詞。好嗎？

So, first of all, "would". When do we use "would"? We use it a lot in English. One of

所以，首先是"would"。我們什麼時候使用 "would"？我們在英語中經常使用它。其中一個

the times in beginner and intermediate levels we use it is when we are at a restaurant.

在初級和中級階段，我們使用它的時候是在餐廳裡。

The server will ask you: "Oh, what would you like?" And you would respond:

服務員會問你："哦，您要點什麼？

"I would like pizza.", "I would like chicken.", "I would like tacos.", "I would like coffee." Okay?

"我想吃披薩"，"我想吃雞肉"，"我想吃玉米餅"，"我想喝咖啡"，好嗎？

Now, the problem is... "Would"... This is all correct grammar-wise, but many, many students

現在的問題是......"Would"...從文法上講，這都是正確的，但很多很多學生

have trouble when it comes to pronouncing "would". Okay? The "w" sound is a little difficult,

在發音 "would" 時有困難。好嗎？"w"的發音有點困難、

so many students can't pronounce this correctly. Okay?

很多學生都不能正確發音。行嗎？

Also, a lot of native speakers, like myself, a lot of Canadians and Americans, we don't

此外，很多以英語為母語的人，比如我自己，很多加拿大人和美國人，我們並不

really say "would" that frequently. What we usually say instead are contractions. So,

我們真的經常說"會"。我們通常說的是縮略語。那麼

a contraction is a short form. Instead of saying: "I would", "I'd" has the same meaning.

縮略語是一種簡稱。與其說："I would"，不如說"I'd"，意思相同。

Okay? So this apostrophe here actually means "woul". Okay? So this means there are all

好嗎？所以這個撇號實際上是"woul"的意思。好麼？所以這意味著有所有

these missing letters, but we don't actually need them. Contractions are very, very common

但實際上我們並不需要它們。縮略語非常非常常見

in spoken English. Not writing, but in speaking, we use them a lot. Okay? So, if you want to

在英語口語中。不是在寫作中，而是在口語中，我們經常使用它們。好嗎？所以，如果你想

sound more Canadian or more American, you should use contractions.

聽起來更像加拿大人或美國人，就應該使用縮略語。

So, let's look at some of these contractions. So: -"What would you like? What would you

那麼，讓我們來看看其中的一些縮略詞。那麼：-"你想要什麼？你想

like to order?" -"I'd like some tea." Okay? So, let's start with that. I want you to repeat

我想喝茶，可以嗎？就從這個開始吧我要你重複一遍

after me. "I'd", "I'd". And again, this means "I would", "I'd". So it almost sounds like

quot;I'd"，"I'd"。同樣，這意味著"I would"，"I'd"。所以聽起來就像

"eye-de". "I'd", "I'd like some tea. I'd like some tea."

"eye-de"。"I'd"，"I'd like some tea.我想喝茶；

Now, maybe you're talking about... To your friend. Okay? In this case, if you want to

現在，也許你說的是...對你的朋友好嗎？在這種情況下，如果你想

say: "You would like tea", you can say: "You'd", "you'd". So, again: "You-de", "you'd". "You'd

如果說："你想喝茶"，你可以說："你--喝"，"你--喝"。是以，又可以說："你-de"，"你'd"。

like some tea.", "You'd like some bread.", "You'd enjoy going to the beach." Okay? "You'd".

你想喝茶嗎？你想吃麵包嗎？你想去海灘嗎？

Now, if you're talking about a boy or a man, we can use the word... Instead of: "he would",

現在，如果你說的是一個男孩或一個男人，我們可以使用這個詞...而不是："他會"、

you can use: "he'd". Okay? And notice, this one, I actually smiled quite a lot. "He'd".

您可以使用："he'd"。好嗎？注意，這一句，我笑得很開心。 "他'd"。

"He'd like toast.", "He'd like the chicken.", "He'd like a salad." Okay? "He'd".

他想吃吐司，他想吃雞肉，他想吃沙拉，行嗎？

For women, we would use: "she'd", "she'd". And again, notice my smile, "she'd". "He'd",

對於女性，我們會使用："she'd"，"she'd"。同樣，注意我的微笑，"she'd"，"He'd"、

"she'd". They rhyme. "She'd like coffee.", "She'd like coffee.", "She'd like pizza."

"她'd"。它們押韻。"她'喜歡咖啡"，"她'喜歡咖啡"，"她'喜歡披薩&quot；

Okay? And again, "she'd" means "she would". "She would like pizza.", "She'd like pizza."

好嗎？再說一遍，"she'd"的意思是"她會"，"她會喜歡披薩"，"她會喜歡披薩"；

Okay, now, if we're talking about us and someone else, we would say: "we'd", "we'd". Okay?

好了，現在，如果我們說的是我們和別人，我們會說："我們'd"，"我們'd"。好嗎？

And again, there's a big smile on my face. "We'd". "We'd like chicken.", "We'd like poutine.",

我的臉上再次露出了燦爛的笑容。"我們想吃雞肉"、"我們想吃布丁"、

"We'd like french fries.", "We'd like hot dogs." Okay? Example of "we'd".

"我們想要炸薯條"，"我們想要熱狗"，行嗎？"我們'想"的例子。

Finally: "they'd". "They'd like". So this is if you have "they would", it becomes "they'd".

最後："they'd"。是以，如果有 "他們會"，就會變成 "他們'd"。

And you'll notice-very simple-all of them are just apostrophe "d". "They'd like chicken.",

你會發現--非常簡單--所有這些都只是撇號"d"。"他們喜歡雞肉"、

"They'd like to study English." Okay?

他們想學英語，行嗎？

So any time you want to use the word "would", try to replace it with a contraction. It will

是以，無論何時您想使用"would"一詞，都要儘量用縮略詞來代替它。它會

make you sound more like a native speaker. And, you know, especially if you have trouble

讓你聽起來更像母語使用者。而且，你知道，特別是如果你有困難

with the pronunciation of "would", just adding apostrophe "d" will really help you with your

quot;would"的發音，只需加上撇號"d"就能真正幫助你解決這個問題。
