我的名字叫做Ro...（模糊不清）

I'm going to teach you something today that is very, very important, especially for the ladies.

我今天要教的課程對你來說是非常非常重要的，特別是對女士們來說

Sometimes I know you try and be very cute.

我知道你有時會嘗試讓自己顯得可愛

But there comes a point where you have to stop trying to be cute and actually act like

但有個重要的分界點在於你什麼時候開始不能再裝可愛，

並開時表現得像是個得體的女人

So I'm going to teach you about what's called "Baby Talk".

我今天要教你有關於「嬰兒用語」

So, baby talk is what I was just doing to you in the camera.

嬰兒用語就是我剛才在螢幕前做的事

It has to do with your facial expression-your eyes are bigger, you're smiley-and your intonation,

要表現出一些特定的面部表情：你的眼睛要睜大、笑臉的樣子，然後還有你的腔調

as well as the vocabulary you lose... Use.

以及你所遺漏掉的詞彙…使用的詞彙

So, when it is very, very good and fun and acceptable to use baby talk is if you are

只有在一些特定的時候使用嬰兒用語是很好很有趣，且是可以被接受的，

There comes a point where your precious baby will become a child, and you need to actually

有個重點在於當你所珍愛的嬰兒慢慢成長成兒童的時候，

start to speak to them like a normal person.

你需要開始使用正常的方式與他交談

Not like a dragon, but like a normal person.

他們已大到不再使用嬰兒用語了

Also-I do this-we talk to our pets like they're babies.

當然，我們會使用嬰兒用語與我們的寵物對話，就像他們是嬰兒一樣，像我就是

然後貓就表現的：「呃，很好」

Dogs and cats probably think we're a little crazy, too, and they're like: "What?

狗和貓大概會覺得我們有點瘋狂，他們就一副「什麼？」

"Give me the bone. Yeah, I'm cute. Give me the bone."

「給我骨頭，對，我很可愛，給我骨頭」

So, if you're talking to a baby or a young child, or a pet - cool.

所以如果你的說話對象是嬰兒，幼兒，或者寵物，沒有問題

Also, if you're talking to your partner, not in class, but your partner, so your boyfriend,

當然，如果你是和你的另一伴對話，不是課堂上的夥伴，而是你的伴侶，像是你的男朋友、

your girlfriend, your husband, your wife, your other boyfriend, okay

你的女朋友、你的丈夫、你的太太、你其他的男朋友，沒有問題

你當然可以使用嬰兒用語，像我就會

But we don't want to seem cute at a job interview.

但我們並不想要在面試工作的時候表現的很可愛的樣子

We don't want to go: "Hi. I'm Ronnie-wonnie. How are you today? He-he-he."

我們不想表現得像是：「嗨，我是Ronnie-Winnie，你今天過的好嗎？嘻嘻嘻（裝可愛的語調）」

You're not going to get the job, and people might think you're a little strange.

這種狀況下你是不可能得到工作的，且人們會覺得你有點奇怪

So baby talk is good for three people, three situations.

所以嬰兒用語只有在對以下三種說話對象、說話情境才是可以被接受的，

You probably know some words that are baby talk or the intonation, but maybe there are

你大概知道一些字和一些腔調是在使用嬰兒用語講話時才會出現的，

但或許這裡有些字是屬於嬰兒用語的範疇會讓你感到驚訝

One and two or the top ones are "mommy" and "daddy".

第一名和第二名，或者第一組是「媽咪」和「爸比」

So, I hear a lot of grown men say: "My mommy works in the mall."

我常常聽到一些男生會說：「我媽咪在這個購物中心工作」

And girls say: "My... My daddy gave me a horse."

然後女生會說：「我的爸比買了匹馬給我」

Okay, maybe your daddy did give you a horse, but please, ladies and gentlemen who are adults:

OK，或許你的爸比真的給了你一匹馬，但是先生小姐們，你們已經是成年人了，

"mommy" and "daddy" are children's words.

「媽咪」和「爸比」是小孩子的詞彙

If a grown man says: "I love my mommy", we're going to think some strange things are happening

如果一個成年男子說：「我愛我的媽咪」，

我們會覺得這名男子和他媽媽之間有些奇怪的關係

As well, ladies, if you say: "My daddy is coming to see me tomorrow night",

同樣的，如果成年女子說：「我的爸比明天晚上會來看我」，

we're getting the wrong idea of what you're doing with your parents.

對於你要和你父母見面這件事我們會有奇怪的想法

So: "mommy" and "daddy" are only for children.

所以：「媽咪」和「爸比」只有小孩才可以使用

If you're learning English in the UK, they spell it: "mum", but they spell it with a "u".

如果你是在英國學習英文，在英國「媽」的拼法是使用「u」

This is casually how we talk about our mom and dad.

這是我們談論到我們的爸爸和媽媽時的用法

再強調一次，這個字(Mommy)是所謂的嬰兒用語，

More formal we can say: "mother" and "father".

更正式的話我們可以用「母親」或者「父親」

So, it doesn't really matter which one you use, "dad" or "father", "mom" or "mother",

所以無論你是使用「爸」或者「父親」，「媽」或者「母親」，都是沒有問題的，

just please don't say "mommy" and "daddy".

只要不要用「媽咪」和「爸比」就好

It makes you sound like you're a little princess or that you have a very strange relationship

這會讓你顯得像是沒長大的小公主，或者，

So, "father" is formal and so is "mother".

所以，「父親」是正式的用法，「母親」也是一樣的

All right. When I first started the video, I said: "My name is Wonnie."

在我開場的時候我說：「我的名字叫做Wonnie」

My name's Ronnie, but children have a hard time pronunci-...

我的名字是Ronnie，但是小孩對於發音…

（笑）發音是有困難的，像我一樣

They have a hard time saying certain letters.

他們會覺得對某些字母的發音是較困難的

Do you have a hard time saying "r" as well?

你是否曾經也對「r」有同樣的發音困擾呢？

棒極了，看吧！你是有在學習的

"R" is very difficult for babies to say, so don't feel bad.

「R」這個發音對於嬰兒來說是困難的，所以不要感到難過

嬰兒在學習如何正確地發出「R」這個音

So, instead of saying "r", they're going to say "w".

所以當「r」這個音發不出來的時候，他們會說成「w」這個音

So, you will hear in TV shows, when people say:

所以當你在電視節目中看到人們說：

"Widdle" is a replacement for "l" in this case or "little".

所以當「little」（小）的「l」音發不出來的時候會使用「Widdle」這個字

So, we would say: "little", but they say: "widdle".

所以我們大人會說「little」，但小孩子會使用「widdle」這個字

If you can't say the "r", it might sound like: "riddle", but you say: "widdle".

如果你無法發出「r」的音，在你想發出「widdle」這個字的時候，聽起來會像是「riddle」

I used to do this, when I was a child I could not say "r", so I said "d", I said: "budder".

在我小的時候我無法發出「r」這個音，所以當我嘗試發出「r」這個音的時候聽起來會像是發「d」這個音

我稱呼我兄弟為：「我的兄悌」

Now, "butter" in the pronunciation that you have here sounds like the delicious spread

就像是我們會塗抹在吐司上，或者蔬菜上的美味的東西

所以我說的話聽起來會變成：「我的奶油去哪了？」

Butter is delicious, so maybe I just really wanted butter, my parents got confused.

奶油是很美味的，所以或許我小時候其實真的是很想要奶油，只是我父母搞錯了

So, you'll also notice that in English pronunciation, in American and Canadian pronunciation at least,

你應該有注意到在美國、加拿大和澳洲，

if it's a "t" sound we usually sound it like a "d".

在發「t」這個音的時候聽起來會像是發「d」這個音
