你人生的目標。今天，我們要來看看五種避免美國腔的方法

That is I'm guessing if you want to sound more British. Let's get to our first sound.

我猜你希望自己有英國腔。讓我們開始第一個發音吧

Alright here we go, there it is. In American English Tuesday. Now in British English it's

我們開始吧，在這裡。美國美語念 Tuesday。 英國英語

not /tu:/ it's /tjuːTuesday. So we use the tj sound for the Tu. Take this platform, YouTube

不是 /tu:/ 而是 /tju/：Tuesday。所以我們把 Tu 念作 tj 。比方說講台、YouTube

in American English, YouTube. In British English YouTube so the tju: sound. Take the fish in

在美式英語念 YouTube。英式英語 YouTube，是 tju: 的發音。以魚當例子

American English Tuna, in British English Tuna. So you can see there, those two different

美式英語念 tuna，英式英語念 tuna。所以你了解這兩個不同發音了

sounds. Now as a YouTuber myself, I always find it quite funny when someone is like 'I'm

身為一個 YouTuber，我常常覺得好笑，當有人說 「我是一個 YouTuber」

a YouTuber', I'm like oh 'I'm a YouTuber' anyway yeah a little difference. Guys before

looking at the difference between British and American English. I'll link them right

討論英式英語和美式英語差別的影片。我把連結放在上方

above. Right next sound. Take the /æ/ and /a:/ Take the famous painter Picasso. In

下一個發音 /æ/ 和 /a:/，舉例來說，著名畫家畢卡索

British English that A is /æ/ so Picasso. In American English Picasso, so it's the /a:/

在英式英語 A 念 /æ/，所以是 Picasso。美式英語是 Picasso，所以發 /a:/

sound there Picasso. What about pasta? Pasta in British English pasta in American English.

的音，Picasoo。那麼 pasta (通心粉) 呢？英式英語和美式英語的 pasta

What about the country? Sri Lanka in British English, Sri Lanka. What about the city Milan

那麼國家呢？英式英語 Sri Lanka (斯里蘭卡)，美式英語 Sri Lanka。那麼城市呢？

in British English, Milan in American English. Take the food, kebab and kebab in American

英式英語 Milan (米蘭)，美式英語 Milan。食物舉例，kebab (烤肉串) 和美式英語 kabab

English so you can see the difference there. Alright how are you doing? Is this making

所以你分辨得出差別了。如何呢？這樣合理吧？

sense? Cool, aright let's get to number three. Number three I've always thought is a really

酷，讓我們來看第三個。我一直覺得第三個

distinct difference between the two different Englishes. It's the Du combination so for

的英美式唸法差異很大，非常容易辨認。Du 的組合

example the word during. Now in British English that du is /dʒ/ during but in American English

比方說 during 這個字。 在英式英語 du 發 /dʒ/ 的音 during，但在美式英語

it's during so it's a /d/ sound. British English /dʒ/ sound. What about the word produce,

是 during，所以發作 /d/。英式英語發 /dʒ/。那麼生產這個字呢

ok the verb produce. So in British English produce, in American English produce so the

動詞的生產。英式英語唸 produce，美式英語 produce

/d/ sound there. Reduce ok, reduce British English, reduce in American English. So you've

是 /d/ 的音。減少，英式發音 reduce，美式發音 reduce。所以

got that /dʒ/ and /d/ very distinctive sounds. Remember as we go, you guys should be practising.

你已經了解 /dʒ/ 和 /d/ 這兩個非常容易分辨的發音。在我們學習時，你們要練習

Ok so stop the video and practise whichever one you want to learn. If it's American English

好，把影片暫停在任何你想要練習的地方。美式英語

or British English practise that sound. Maybe even practise the contrast between the two

還是英式英語，練習它的發音。甚至可以練習兩者之間的對比

so that you can say it and hear it yourself. In British English it's really common for

所以你會說，也聽得出來。在英式英語裡面我們常出現

us to use the /ə/ sound, the schwa sound. In American English it's not as common. So

/ə/ 的輕音。在美式發音比較少見

in these set of words British English uses the schwa the /ə/ and American English uses

在這組字，英式英語使用輕音 /ə/，美式英語使用

/a:n/. So the huge river in Brazil and the world famous website Amazon. Amazon in British

/a:n/。所以巴西的大河流和舉世聞名的網站亞馬孫。英式英語是 Amazon

English, Amazon. In American English Amazon the /a:n/ there. The snake python in British

Amazon。美式英語是 Amazon，發 /a:n/。英式英語 python (蟒蛇)

English, in American English python. So the /a:n/ there again. The place where all the

美式英語 python。再一個 /a:n/ 的例子。

big tech giants are based in British English Silicon valley, the -on is with the schwa

所有科技巨頭的所在，英式發音 Silicon valley (矽谷)，-on 發輕音

sound. In American English it's Silicon valley so the /a:n/ there again. Python, Silicon,

美式音語唸 Silicon valley ，所以再來一次 /a:n/。蟒蛇、矽谷

Amazon you've got the /a:n/ sound in American English. Have you ever tried to do a marathon?

亞馬孫，你已經抓到 /a:n/ 的美式發音。你有嘗試過跑馬拉松嗎？

In British English marathon with the schwa sound there. In American English marathon.

英式發音的 marathon (馬拉松) 帶輕音。美式英語則是 marathon

So as you can see the -on changes from the schwa to /a:/. if you like MMA you'll hear

所以如你所見，-on的音從輕音變成 /a:/。如果你喜歡綜合格鬥，你會聽到

the commentator going 'Welcome to the Octagon' In British English . It doesn't sound

評論員說：「歡迎來到八角堂。」英式英語 octagon (八角堂)，聽起來

quite so exciting 'welcome to the octagon'.

不怎麼興奮「歡迎來到八角堂。」

Ok and the last one. In British English vitamin, in American English vitamin so the vi sound

好的最後一個。英式英語唸 vitamin (維生素)， 美式英語 vitamin，所以是 vi 的發音

there. So /i/ in British English /aɪ/ in American English. Simultaneous in British

英式英語 /i/ 美式英語 /aɪ/ 。英式英語 simultaneous (同時的)

English, simultaneous. In American English simultaneous. So the si there. So this I sound

simultaneous 美式英語 simultaneous。所以 si 的這個發音，我把

changes from /i/ to /aɪ/. Privacy in British English, in American English privacy. Actually

/i/ 改成 /aɪ/。英式英語的 privacy (隱私)，美式發音是 privacy。事實上

that one I've heard privacy said in British English as well. What about the country Iraq

我也有在英式發音聽過 privacy 的發音。國家伊拉克

in British English /i/ Iraq. In American English Iraq. So as you can see there the I sound

的英式發音 /i/ Iraq。美式發音 Iraq。所以就如你看見的，I 的音

can change between the two Englishes. Alright guys there are so many other examples that

在兩種英語是不一樣的。好的大家我還可以教大家許多其他的例子

I could teach you. Obviously this video isn't really about avoiding speaking in an American

很明顯的，這部影片不是真的教你怎麼避免美式發音

你可以用你喜歡的發音去唸。沒有對錯

there's just the accent that you want to speak. I personally love American English, I think

只有你想說的腔調。我個人喜歡美式英語，我覺得它

it's incredible. There's some amazing variety, interesting vocabulary so yeah you choose

很不可思議，有許多奇妙的種類、趣味的單字，所以你可以選擇

the English you want to speak and then go with that, ok? Obviously on this channel I
