Hello everyone, and welcome back to English with Lucy.

哈囉！大家好，歡迎回到一起和露西學英語

I've got a pronunciation video for you today,

今天我準備了英語發音的影片給你們

Today I've got an American versus British

I think it was just a video on American English

versus British English, I'll put a card up here.

及英語之間的差異，我等等也會在螢幕上標註

But, recently I was looking at the names of foods

不過最近我在準備的是我們很常見會唸錯的

That video will come out soon, if it's not already out.

Then, I started to think about the differences

我開始思考美國飲食及英國飲食

and how we have different names for the same thing.

以及同樣的事物但同時擁有不一樣不同說法

and get a 30 day free trial, that's a free audio book,

它有 30 天的免費試用，是一個提供有聲書的學習平台

and it will seriously help you with your listening

and your speaking, because you can read an actual book,

和口說有很大的幫助，因為它不僅有電子化的書面資料

and then you can listen to how the words are pronounced.

Reading is great, but it doesn't improve your pronunciation,

閱讀的確也很棒，但對於你發音的進步不會這麼明顯的效果

because English isn't a phonetic language.

So, if you team up reading with listening as well,

because you can hear how the words are pronounced.

along with some audiobook recommendations

Okay, so I'm going to say the American word first,

那每個單字我都會先從美國用語開始說明

Do I need to do an American accent, cilantro.

有需要用美國的發音展現一下嗎？ cilantro

Dreadful I know, my American accent is so cringe worthy.

很尷尬我知道，我的美國腔不是這麼自然

In the UK, in British English, we call this coriander.

So, if you're reading a British recipe book,

something by Gordon Ramsey or Jamie Oliver,

像是戈登·拉姆齊或是杰米·奧利弗出的書

and it says coriander, you know that that's cilantro.

他們所提到的 coriander 就是 cilantro

Comment down below, do you love it do you hate it?

提供一下你們的想法，你們喜歡還是不喜歡香菜？

Because I love it, and my boyfriend hates it,

我很喜歡，但是我男朋友很討厭香菜

The next one, I did mention this in the previous video,

接下來這個我之前在別部影片也有提到

but I think it's important because it's related to food.

我覺得很重要，因為跟我們歐美的飲食文化很有關係

which I understand is something that Americans,

it's a sort of thing you have with gravy?

不過對我們而言 biscuits 就是 cookies

and I found out recently why they it call it eggplant.

我後來才去研究了一下為什麼叫 eggplant

It's because, I think it's when the flowers,

or the fruit is growing, it does look like an egg.

和果實在成長時外貌看起來很像雞蛋的形狀

But in British English, we tend to call it aubergine.

不過在英語的部分，我們叫 aubergine

aubergine, which I think is a beautiful word.

(sighs) Berenjena, what a sexy plant, who would've thought.

courgette, both lovely words I think you'll agree.

courgette ，很漂亮的詞你說是不是？

But in England, we might use the word shrimp

So, the big ones, we'll call them king prawns,

如果很大隻的話我們會說 king prawns

或是 tiger prawns ，但是一般來說

That's actually one of my favourite sandwich fillings.
