Hey what's up Stefanie the English coach here from EnglishFullTime.com.

嗨~大家好！我是 EnglishFullTime.com 的英文教練 Stefanie。

未來簡單式

In this video we are going to talk about fast speech and specifically the sounds

在這個影片中，我們要探討快速說話，

動名詞

that change and are eliminated when you start speaking quickly. Now when I say

特別是當你開始說話很快時，會改變聲音或是連音，

fast speech, I'm not talking about speaking you know super super super fast.

當我說快速說話時，不是像你想的一樣說話超級快的那種，

I'm actually talking about speaking regularly the way native speakers speak,

實際上我是說英語母語者正常說話的語速，

so what happens is English is not a phonetic language. Okay. Words are not

所以英文不是一種語音的語言。

pronounced exactly the way that they're written and especially in everyday

單詞的發音方式不完全跟書寫的方式一樣，

conversation and casual speech even when you're in a business meeting. Okay. Just

尤其是日常對話、隨意演講，甚至是商務會議中，

because this is fast speech (and) doesn't mean you can't use words like this in a

因為這是快速說話，並不意味著你不可以在商業環境中使用這些字詞，

business setting. So if you want to learn how to sound more like a native English

所以如果你想要學習如何像一個英語母語者說英文，

speaker, this video is going to be really helpful. It's also probably going to be

frustrating because you're gonna learn and realize so many things you didn't

你也有可能感到挫折，因為你將學到很多以前沒學過的東西，

learn before and you're gonna feel like "oh my gosh.

你會覺得：「我的天啊！，我還有好多東西要學。」

I have so much more to learn." Don't worry. You'll get there anyhow before I begin.

別擔心！在我開始之前，你就會做好準備了。

I want to say a couple things: One, I'm from California so I speak with an American accent.

我想先聲明幾件事情：首先，我來自加利福尼亞，所以我說的是美式口音。

This video is gonna be really helpful to you, if you're trying to learn

如果你想學怎麼說話更像美式口音，這個影片會對你很有幫助，

how to speak more with an American accent. If you're trying to learn British

但如果你想學英式英文或是澳洲英文，

English or Australian English, I honestly don't think a lot of the things that I'm

老實說我覺得我接下來說的很多內容，

gonna say will apply to the kind of English that you're trying to learn. Okay.

So bear that in mind if you decide to watch this video and last thing before

如果你決定要看這部影片，請記得這一點。

we get started I just want to let you guys know that you can also find me on

在我們開始前的最後一件事，我想跟你說你可以在 Instagram 和 Facebook 找到我，

Instagram, Facebook and of course my website so I'll put all those links in

the description. With that said let's get into it.

我會把所有連結放到下方描述欄。我們現在開始吧！

Okay, so fast speech, what is it? It's not speaking quickly. It's not speaking super

所以什麼是快速說話？不是很快地說話，也不是說地超級快速，

fast. Okay. Fast speech, when I say fast speech, I'm literally just referring to

當我說快速說話時，我的意思是說，

the way native speakers speak English. It's not necessarily fast. It's just that

英語母語者說英文的方式，不需要快速，

we tend to run words together and by doing that we end up eliminating sounds

我們通常會將詞放在一起，最後會省略一些發音，

and changing sounds so I want to go over some examples of that in this video.

然後改變其發音，因此我想要在影片中放一些例子說明，

So that you guys can be more aware of it when you're hearing English. The problem

以便你們在聽英文時，可以更清楚意識到這點，

is that you probably started learning English with textbooks and

問題是你們一開始可能從教科書或是文法書上學英文，

grammar books so you see how a word is written and then you think okay that's

所以你知道單字怎麼寫，然後你就會覺得它應該要這樣發音，

how it should be pronounced but that's not the case because English is not a

但不是這樣的，因為英文不是語音的語言，

phonetic language so words are not usually pronounced the way that they're

所以詞通常不會像書寫出來的那樣發音，

written, and then when you include fast speech into this, everything gets more

當你在快速說話時，一切都會變得更複雜，

complicated on top of that. So let me give you some examples of what fast

讓我舉一些例子告訴你什麼是快速說話，然後我們是怎麼做的，

speech is and how we do it. So for example, the question "what are you doing

later?"  I never asked like that. When I'm talking to my friends, I do not say "what

我從來沒這樣問過，當我在和朋友說話時，我不會說：「你等下要做什麼？」

are you doing later" because I have to put so much effort

因為我必須要在整個句子中花很多力氣，

into that entire sentence. It's exhausting, right? So what will I say?

這很累，對吧？那麼我會怎麼說呢？

I'll say, "Hey what you're doing later?" Okay. That is an example of fast speech

我會這樣說：「你等下要做什麼？」(連音)，這是一個快速說話的舉例，

and you can learn how to do this just by imitating me, right. So instead of saying

你可以藉由模仿我，學習這句話的說法，

"what are you" it reduces down to "what ya", "what ya". Okay? And even that ya

你可以簡化 "what are you" 變成 "what ya" ，可以嗎？

like that's not even how we say it. I'm over pronouncing it just so you can hear

甚至那個 "ya"，我們不會這樣發音，我會這樣過度發音，只是想讓你聽到那不是 "you"，

that it's not you but it's so reduced, okay. It's so reduced that it doesn't

只是想讓你聽到那不是 "you"，而是省略發音，

even sound like ya in the sentence "what you're doing later?", "whatcha", "whatcha".

太過省略甚至聽起來不像 "ya"，「你等下要做什麼？」，"whatcha"。

Do you hear that, okay? it's crazy, right? And then "doing" becomes "duing", and then

你聽到了嗎？很瘋狂對吧？然後 "doing" 變成 "duing"，然後再接 "later"，

"later".  "What you're doing later?", "What you doing later?", "Hey what you doing later?"

Okay, another example that I have for you the question, "Where is he at?", "Hey where is

另一個跟你分享的例子：「他在哪裡？」

he at?", "Where's he at?". It sounds like "Where's he at?", right? "Where's he at?"

聽起來像是 "Where's he at?"，對吧？

"Where's he at?" and that's because in fast speech, we often eliminate the H.

由於在快速說話時，我們通常會省略 H 發音。

"Where's he at?" or "Did you give it to him?", "Did you give it to him?". I'm eliminating

"Where's he at?" 或是 "Did you give it to him?" (你給他了嗎？)

the H there. "Did you give it to him?", "Did you give it to him?", "Did you give it to him?"

我省略 H 發音，"Did you give it to him?" (你給他了嗎？)

And then the "you" I'm not even saying you. I could say "Did you", "Did you give it

然後我也甚至不說 "you"，我會說 "Did you"，"Did you give it to him?"

to him?" "Did you", okay? So this is one of the reasons why English gets so

"Did you"，可以嗎？所以這就是為什麼英文那麼複雜的其中一個原因，

complicated for people. We reduce things down so much that we eliminate sounds

我們減少了很多東西，以至於省略發音，

and sounds change completely so that what we're saying is not even

然後發音就完全改變了，所以我們所說的甚至跟你們所讀的、

what you're reading, or what you think you're hearing. So in this lesson I just

或是你們所想的、所聽到的都不一樣。

want to encourage you guys to really pay attention to what you hear. If you want

所以在這堂課裡我想要鼓勵大家多去注意你聽到的內容，

to sound like a native speaker, you're gonna have to learn how to do all of

如果你想要說話聽起來像是英語母語者，你必須要學習如何省略發音，

these reductions that we do and eliminations but here's the thing.

就像我前面示範的那樣，但有件事要知道，

There are patterns for everything so if you really wanted to you could study the

一切都有模式，所以如果你真的想要，你可以研究一下這個模式，

patterns, like when do native speakers eliminate the H and why?

像是英語母語者什麼時候會省略 H 發音，為什麼？

When does "did" and "you" change to "Did you" and when does it not. Okay. You can really get

幾時會讓 "did" 和 "you" 發音成 "Did you"，什麼情況不適用？

into the nitty-gritty of all of this or you could just listen and listen for the

你可以真正去了解所有細節，也可以只是聽到這些規則後記起來，

patterns, hear them and then incorporate them into your own speech. Okay, let's go.

並且應用到你自己的說話方式，我們開始吧！

Over some more examples. Okay, another question we can ask is "How did it go?",

我們再舉更多例子，另一個問句是「事情怎麼樣了？」

"How did it go?" but I never say "How did it go?".  I say "Hey, how'd it go?", "How'd it go?".

"How did it go?"，但我從不說 "How did it go?"，我會說 "Hey, how'd it go?"，

Now, this is crazy because I'm not even saying "How". I'm saying "Ha", "Ha",  "Had it",

這很瘋狂，因為我甚至沒有說 "How"，而是說 "Ha", "Ha",  "Had it"，

"Had it go", alright no. Now I'm getting a little bit crazy with the pronunciation

"Had it go"，好吧，我現在有點瘋狂於發音了，

there but seriously I really just ask people I say, "Hey how'd it go?", "How'd it go?".

但認真地說，我都對人們說 "Hey how'd it go?" (嘿，事情怎麼樣了？)

"How'd it go?", if I try to break that apart for you and show you each individual

"How'd it go?"，如果我試著為你分解句子，並展現每一段發音，

piece, the actual sound becomes contorted, right. Because if I say first we start by

那麼實際發音就會失真，對吧！因為如果我先說 "Ha"，

saying "Ha" and then "dee" and then "go", all of the sounds are now contorted because

然後接著說 "dee"，最後說 "go"，所有發音都扭曲了，

I lengthened them in order to slow it down and show you and then here's what

為了減慢速度讓你聽仔細，我拉長發音，

happens that's no longer the true sound. That's still not what I'm saying so by

然後發出的聲音不再是自然真實的聲音了，也不是我說的那樣了，

extending it and trying to slow it down for you to understand it more. It's still

所以如果你加長且緩慢地說，以便讓你了解，

not what I'm saying so you really have to just listen and

這也不是我所說的那樣了，所以你真的只需要聽，

train your ear to hear the fast speech and then to incorporate it. Okay, and your

並且訓練你的耳朵習慣聽快速說話，然後使其合併，

tongue will learn how to do this quickly but just listen and repeat, right.

然後你的舌頭就可以學會如何快速做到這點，只要認真聽並且重複練習，

"How'd it go?", "Hey how'd it go?", "Hey you went to an interview yesterday. How'd it go?" Alright.

"Hey how'd it go?"，"Hey how'd it go?"，「嘿，你昨天去面試的如何？」

Another question "What do you mean?". I never asked it like that "Hey what do you

另一個問句：「你是什麼意思？」，我從來不會這樣說 "Hey what do you mean?"，

mean?" that's just too complicated, right? So I say, "No, what do you mean?"

這太複雜了對吧，所以我會說 "No, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean?", okay. Again I'm I struggled to slow this down

"What do you mean?"，再一次，我努力減慢這個速度，

because then it's no longer authentic "Hey what do you mean?", "What do you mean?".

因為那樣就不再是真實的說法了，"Hey what do you mean?"。

"What do you mean?", "What do you mean?". Another one "Can I go?", "Can I go?".

"What do you mean?" (你是什麼意思？)，另一個「我可以去嗎？」"Can I go?"。

We don't usually ask it like that the "Can" gets reduced and it becomes "Kuhn".

我們不會這樣說，"Can" 可以省略變成 "Kuhn"。

Something like that, okay. Listen, "Can I go?", "Can I go?", "Hey can I go with you?".

聽看看，"Can I go?" (我可以去嗎？)，「我可以和你一起去嗎？」

"Hey where you guys going? Can I go?" I'm not saying "can". I'm totally

「嘿，你們要去哪裡？我可以去嗎？」我不是說 "can"，

eliminating the vowel sound altogether it becomes "khnn", "khnn" the C sound and then the "nn".

我完全省略母音，然後變成 "khnn"，C 發音再加上 "nn"，

"khnn", okay. Again, when I slow it down, it's not gonna sound like it usually sounds.

"khnn"，再一次，當我放慢速度，聽起來不會像平時聽起來的那樣。

So I just have to say it fast. "Hey can I go?", "Can I go?", alright. How are you guys

所以我必須說很快，"Hey can I go?"，"Can I go?"。你們還好嗎？

doing? Are you hanging in there with me? Because I have several more examples for you.

你們還跟得上我嗎？因為我還有幾個例子要跟你分享，

Right, I know these aren't easy. The next one, "How is it going?". Okay, I don't

我知道這不容易，下一個是「怎麼了？」，

say "How is it going?". I say "Hey, how's it going?", "How's it going?".

我不說"How is it going?"，我會說 "Hey, how's it going?"，"How's it going?"。

Now you can think of it like "How's it going?" but with the pattern of the speech,

你可以這樣想 "How's it going?"，但隨著說話方式，

it actually sounds like "How sit going?", "Hey how's it going?", okay?

這實際上聽起來像是"How sit going?"，"Hey how's it going?"，可以嗎？

or with the "going", I can also eliminate the G and say "Hey how's it going?".

或是 "going"，我也可以省略 G 發音，變成 "Hey how's it going?"

"How's it", "How's it", "How's it going?". Another one is when we

"How's it"， "How's it"， "How's it going?"。

say "Give it to me.", "Give it a me.". I can just say it like that "Hey will you give it to me.".

另一個是當我們說「把它給我。」"Give it a me."，我可以說：「嘿，你會把它給我嗎？」

"give it". I can't! oh my gosh! I'm trying to
