Every once in a while, there's a word that's hard for Americans to pronounce as well. For

每隔一段時間，就會出現一個美國人也很難發音的單詞。對於

example, I'm here in LA at the Tastemade studios, and I've been watching a few friends recording

例如，我在洛杉磯的 Tastemade 工作室，一直在觀看幾位朋友錄製節目。

>> So we need, now, I can never say this, worcestershire.

所以，我們現在需要的是，我永遠也說不出口的伍斯特郡。

>> I say worcestershire. >> Worcestershire? Ok, we'll go with that.

>>我說喼汁。>>喼汁？好吧，就這麼定了。

>> We should ask Rachel from Rachel's English later on.

>>我們稍後應該問問瑞秋英語的瑞秋。

>> Yes. How to say that properly.

是的。怎麼說才合適？

>> A little bit of worcestershire sauce. >> Or worcestershire.

加一點喼汁，或者喼汁。

>> Wor-, or worcestershire? Nobody really knows how to pronounce it.

>>Wor-，還是 worcestershire？沒人知道該如何發音。

>> We don't know. >> We need to talk to Rachel.

我們不知道，我們得和瑞秋談談。

As you can see, they're not quite sure how to pronounce this word, so, let's go over

正如你們所看到的，他們還不太清楚這個詞的發音，所以，讓我們來看看

it. This is one of the few cases where we're actually retaining British English pronunciation.

它。這是我們保留英式英語發音的少數情況之一。

This sauce was first made in city of Worcester, England. 'Shire' is the British equivalent

這種醬汁最早產自英國伍斯特市。

to our counties here in America, so this sauce is simply named for region from which it comes,

是以，這款調味汁就以其產地命名了、

Worcestershire, where 'shire' sounds just like the state name 'New Hampshire'.

伍斯特郡，這裡的'郡'聽起來就像新罕布什爾州的州名'新罕布什爾'。

So, we drop the first R, and the vowel in that syllable is the UH as in PUSH vowel,

是以，我們去掉第一個 R，該音節中的元音就是 PUSH 韻母中的 UH、

wo-, wo-. So the lips will start in a tight circle, and then they'll relax a bit out.

嗚，嗚所以嘴脣會先緊緊地抿成一個圈，然後再放鬆一點。

But we still want a little bit of round for that vowel. Wo-, wo-. This is the stressed

但元音還是要圓一點。Wo-, wo-.這是重音

syllable. Then we have two unstressed syllables, -stershire, -stershire, so they can be lower

音節。然後我們有兩個非重讀音節，-stershire、-stershire，所以它們可以是低音

in pitch and quicker. So we have the ST consonant cluster, worcest-, -st-, so your teeth need

在音高和速度上都更快。是以，我們有 ST 輔音群，即 worcest-、-st-，所以你的牙齒需要

to come together for the S sound, tongue will go to the roof of the mouth for the T, worcestershire.

舌尖併攏發出 S 音，舌尖移至口腔頂部發出 T 音，即 "喼 "音。

Now, the second two syllables have the schwa. So, we need basically no jaw drop for those.

現在，後兩個音節有單音。是以，這些音節基本上不需要下巴。

Worcestershire, -stershire. To make the SH sound between the two -er- sounds, the tongue

伍斯特郡，-stershire。要在兩個 -er- 音之間發出 SH 音，舌頭要

will come forward a little bit. But the tongue tip still doesn't need to be touching anything.

舌尖會向前一點但舌尖仍然不需要接觸任何東西。

And your teeth will stay together, sh. And your lips will flare. Worcestershire. So,

你的牙齒會緊緊咬在一起你的嘴脣會張開喼那麼

it's just three syllables. DA-da-da. Worcestershire. Don't pronounce that first R, and also make

它只有三個音節。DA -da -da伍斯特郡語不要發第一個 R 的音，還要讓

sure you put the schwa in the last syllable. Some people will want to say 'shire', but

確保在最後一個音節中加上單音。有些人會想說 'shire'，但是

just like the state 'New Hampshire', -shire, -shire, it's a schwa in that last syllable.

就像'新罕布什爾州'，-shire，-shire，最後一個音節裡有一個單音。
