This video is actually not entirely about American English pronunciation. It's by request

這個視頻其實不完全是關於美式英語發音的。它是應要求

from my mother because when I was with her over Christmas I was telling her how much

因為當我和媽媽一起過聖誕節的時候，我告訴她，我是多麼...

I love to make ramen noodles. And she thought that was sort of gross. Did you notice? I

我喜歡做拉麵。而她認為這是一種毛。你注意到了嗎？I

made a flap T out of the T in 'sort of'. This is because it comes after an R, before a vowel

把'sort of'中的T做了一個翻蓋T。這是因為它在R之後，元音之前。

sound. Sort of. We'll want to link the D to the next word, which begins with a vowel,

聲音。算是吧我們要把D連接到下一個單詞，它以元音開頭。

sort of, sort of, so it sounds more like one word than two separate units. Sort of.

排序的，排序的，所以它聽起來更像一個詞，而不是兩個獨立的組織、部門。算是吧

Let's listen again.

not the number one pronunciation for that word. Most people pronounce it aunt. I use

不是這個詞的第一讀音。大多數人都把它念成姑姑。我用的是

aunt. So let's look: mom, aunt, ramen. They all have that AH vowel, but each one of those

姑姑。那麼我們來看：媽媽、阿姨、拉麵。他們都有那個AH元音，但每一個人的

words spells the AH vowel differently. Ok, let's get cooking.

詞的AH元音拼法不同。好了，我們開始做飯吧。

First, I take the bowl that I'm going to eat my ramen soup in. Fill it up. It's gotta

首先，我把要吃拉麵湯的碗。填滿它。它的得

gotta", or, "I gotta" It's happening here. "It has got to": I'm reducing it to "It's

"必須"，或 "我必須"，它在這裡發生。"它必須"。我把它簡化為 "它是

會。我把 "我要 "減為 "我要"。當然，"會 "的使用是很。

prevalent in everyday spoken American English. I'm gonna. The first syllable has the G consonant,

普遍存在於美國英語的日常口語中。我要去。第一個音節有G輔音。

'uh' as in 'butter' vowel, a nice, clean N, and the second syllable, the schwa. The first

"呃"，如 "黃油 "元音，一個漂亮的，乾淨的N，和第二個音節，schwa。第一個

syllable is stressed, gon-, and the second syllable unstressed, -a. Gonna, gonna. Listen again.

音節是重音，gon，而第二個音節不重音，-a。Gonna, gonna.再聽一遍

過去的部分。

Don't make them too small. Did you notice? I reduced the word 'them' to the schwa-M sound:

不要讓他們太小。你注意到了嗎？我把 "他們 "這個詞縮成了M音。

um, um. Because in this pronunciation the word 'them' begins with a vowel, and the word

因為在這個發音中，"他們 "這個詞是以元音開頭的，而這個單詞

before, 'make', ends with a K, I'm going to make sure that those two words link and feel
