你好！我是來自mmmEnglish的Emma！我是來自mmmEnglish的Emma!

native English speakers commonly make mistakes too.

以英語為母語的人也經常犯錯。

Since English is not phonetic, it takes years and years

由於英語不是音標，所以需要年年

for native English speakers to learn how to

there are often a few words that keep confusing us

往往有幾個字一直在迷惑著我們。

at the spelling of words that include ie and ei.

But before we do, I want to introduce you to the

但在這之前，我想先給大家介紹一下。

lessons designed to improve your English pronunciation

and expression to help you build your confidence

so if you want to improve your spoken English with me,

所以如果你想和我一起提高英語口語。

you can do it just by clicking that button.

你可以通過點擊那個按鈕來實現。

Now these words are sometimes misspelled like this,

現在這些字有時會拼錯，是這樣的。

In fact, phonetically, it kind of makes more sense.

其實，從語音上來說，這算是比較合理的。

Still to this day, I remember the little rhyme

which is a really handy way of remembering the spelling

這是一個非常方便的方法來記住拼寫。

The letter combination, ie, is more common than ei.

It just appears more. In fact, ei is quite rare really.

只是顯得更多。其實，ei真的很難得。

But there are some very common everyday words

And many of them follow a C, like the verb receive.

而且很多都是跟在C後面，比如動詞receive。

It's a perfect example of I before E except after C.

這是一個完美的例子，I在E之前，除了C之後。

Receipt is another, ceiling, deceive, preconceive.

接收是另一種，天花板，欺騙，先入為主。

所以，和以往一樣，也有例外。

I feel like English is the language of exceptions.

In actual fact, the rule "I before E, except after C"

實際上，"I在E前，C後除外 "的規則。

usually is only relevant when the vowel sound

通常只有在元音的時候才有意義

represented by the ie is the long E sound.

Okay, now are you ready for the exceptions?

好了，現在你準備好例外了嗎？

Words like ancient, efficient and science,

"I before E except after C" doesn't work here.

"I在E前，C在後 "在這裡是行不通的。

And that's because the vowel sound represented by ie

And the ei combination can follow other consonants,

而ei組合可以跟在其他輔音後面。

How is it possible that this little combination of letters

這個小小的字母組合怎麼可能？

ie or ei - it's the source of confusion for English learners

ie或ei--這是英語學習者的困惑之源。

and many, many native English speakers too.

還有很多很多以英語為母語的人。

So if you're having trouble with these spelling rules

所以，如果你對這些拼寫規則有困難的話

is a really, really helpful rule to remember.

是一個非常非常有用的規則，要記住。

But it only really applies when the ie is pronounced as E.

但只有當ie讀成e的時候才真正適用。

好吧，我希望你能得到一些方便的提示。

out of this lesson. I expect no more spelling mistakes

出這一課。我希望不要再出現拼寫錯誤
