英语元音规律
How are you doing, guys? You are all right? This is Elliot from ETJ English and what I'm going to be talking to you about today are some minimal pairs.
你们好吗，伙计们？大家好吗？我是来自 ETJ English 频道的埃利奥特，今天我要讲的是一小组音标。
So, we've got two different sounds that we're going to talk about today. And these will really help you with your confidence in pronunciation with British accent and the way you sound when you speak.
我们今天要讲的是两种不同的发音。这些有助于你对你的英式发音以及你的口音更加自信。
Now, I've heard a lot of different ways of these sounds being made and it's these two sounds that people get very very confused with. So, let me go straight into the lesson.
我听过很多不同的发音方式，人们会把这两种发音搞混。我们直接进入课堂吧。
Let's start learning some pronunciation and hopefully, hopefully, I can fix your problems. Now, remember, with pronunciation, everybody has a different accent; everybody sounds different, okay?
让我们开始学习一些发音，希望我能纠正你的问题。记住，对于发音，每个人都有不同的口音；每个人听起来都不一样。
But with these sounds, most of my students seem to have a problem with these two particular sounds and they do get said wrong. So, if you already know how to do it, that's great; if you don't, then this video is for you.
对于这两个发音，我的大多数学生似乎都对这两个特殊的发音有问题，而且他们都会发错音。如果你已经知道它们如何发音，那就太好了；如果你不知道，那么这段视频就是为你准备的。
So, we're going to compare the /i/ and the /iː/ sound. So, we're going to go straight into this.
那么，我们要比较/i/和/iː/音。我们马上开始吧。
Now first of all, I want you to practice the /i/ sound. Now, notice how I am shaping my mouth.
首先，我想让你练习/i/音。注意我的嘴型。
The mouth shape is always important with pronunciation, especially when we have two sounds which are very similar. So that /i/, you notice how I'm creating more of a smile.
嘴型对发音总是很重要的，尤其是当我们发两个非常相似的音时。对于/i/，你注意到我有点像在微笑。
It's an unbounded sound which means we create more of a smile when we create this sound, /i/. The tongue goes kind of up, not touching the top but it's near the top of the mouth.
这是一个不闭合的音，这意味着当我们发这个音的时候，有点像微笑，/i/。舌头稍微往上抬，接近但不触碰到口腔顶部。
And what we do is we quickly let a sound out. It's a short vowel sound, so it's a quick, /i/, /i/. Now for example, think of words like "it", "with", "sit".
然后迅速让声音发出。这是一个短元音，很短促，/i/，/i/。例如，想一下单词“it”，“with”，“sit”。
These words are very common words that you're going to need to use. So, make sure you're creating that quick /i/ sound, okay?
这些都是我们很常用的单词。一定要迅速发出/i/音。
Smile slightly, tongue up, it's not rounded at all and our mouth is almost closed really when we make this sound, /i/? Okay, and the sound we're comparing it to is the /iː/ sound, /iː/, okay.
嘴型轻轻微笑，舌头向上，在发这个音时，我们的嘴巴不是张成圆形的，而是几乎闭合的，/i/。我们要和这个音对比的是/iː/音，/iː/。
Now, once again this shape is very very similar, the /iː/ sound, the shape is very similar. We're creating a smile. It's a bit more of a smile this time.
那么，发这个音的嘴型非常相似，/iː/音，嘴型很像。微笑的嘴型。这次笑得更灿烂一些。
We really want to create that /iː/ sound, okay. And we do exactly the same thing: the tongue goes up, /iː/, /iː/.
我们要发出/iː/音。我们做同样的事：舌头向上抬，/iː/，/iː/。
So once again, for the /iː/ sound, what happens is, so once again, for the /iː/ sound, the tongue goes high. We stretch our lips out and we create more of a smile.
同样，对于/iː/音，舌头要向上抬。我们咧开嘴唇，嘴巴张成微笑的嘴型。
Don't be afraid to smile when it comes up in words, /iː/, okay. For example, if we have a word like "seat", "feet", "beach", you'll notice what's happening is I am creating a smile.
碰到发这个音的单词的时候不要害怕像在微笑，/iː/。例如，单词“seat”，“fee”，“beach”，你会发现我好像在笑一样。
And what you need to do when you first start making the difference between these two sounds is you really need to express and exaggerate that shape. Because that will create the muscle memory to remind you that you need to make that shape.
当你开始区分这两个发音的时候，你需要做的是把这个嘴型夸大。因为这会产生肌肉记忆来提醒你你需要做那个形状。
And eventually that expression will slowly go away and it becomes more normal like it is when I speak. But in the beginning, you have the really force the sounds out to distinguish the difference and remind your body how to do it.
最终，这种表情会慢慢消失，变得更正常，就像我说话时一样。但在开始的时候，你必须要用力发出声音来区分它们的不同，并提醒你的身体如何去做。
So, what I'd like you to do, first of all, before we start any words, is start with the basics, okay. The basics we want to do is just practice going /i/ and /iː/.
我想让你们做的是，首先，在我们开始练习任何单词之前，先从基础开始。基础的事情就是练习发音，/i/，/iː/。
So remember, the tongue is always high, we're creating a smile. One sound is shorter than the other.
记住，舌头一直抬高，咧嘴微笑。一个音比另一个音短。
So, three times let's say. /i/, /iː/. Do it with me. /i/, /iː/; /i/, /iː/.
我们练习三遍。/i/，/iː/。跟我读。/i/，/iː/；/i/，/iː/。
Okay, now hopefully, you have that sound right now. If you don't, rewind, try again, keep practicing until you get that shape correct, okay?
好，希望你们的发音对了。如果不对，再试试，一直练习，直到口型正确。
Then once you've done that, you can start moving on to putting it in words. These sounds are really common and they're easily mistaken.
做完这个之后，就可以继续把它放进单词里练习了。这些发音非常常见，而且很容易发错。
So, let's make sure we get them right, okay? So, we're going to be comparing some minimal pairs which are really gonna help you with comparing the two sounds in sentences and in different situations.
我们要把它们发对了。我们将比较几组音差最小的词，以帮助你比较句子中和不同情况下的这两个发音的区别。
So first of all, we have difference between the words "sit" and "seat", "sit" and "seat". So, why don't we try sentence?
首先，“sit”和“seat”的发音区别，“sit”，“seat”。我们看看句子吧。
"I want to sit in the seat." "I want to sit in the seat."
“I want to sit in the seat.”“I want to sit in the seat.”
Try and get a bit faster every time. Pronunciation is all about repetition.
练习一下，每次加快速度。发音不外乎重复。
So keep repeating yourself. "I want to sit in the seat."
所以要一直重复练习。“I want to sit in the seat.”
"I want to sit in the seat." Get faster and faster.
“I want to sit in the seat.”越来越快。
And if you're not seeing any improvement, slow down again, start go back to the sounds again, okay? It takes time, pronunciation.
如果你看不到任何提高，那就慢下来，再次从音素的发音开始。发音需要时间。
Let's try the words "chip" and "cheap", "chip" and "cheap". So, what we're going to do is we're going to use a very popular British phrase.
我们练习单词“chip”和“cheap”，“chip”和“cheap”。我们要用一个非常流行的英国短语。
When something isn't very expensive, when it doesn't cost much money, quite often we say, "That was as cheap as chips." "Cheap as chips".
当某样东西不太贵，不花多少钱的时候，我们经常会说“That was as cheap as chips（非常廉价）”。“Cheap as chips”。
So, just try that for me. Repeat after me.
试着跟我读。跟我读。
Cheap as chips; cheap as chips; cheap as chips. Try and get faster.
速度得越来越快。还有“eat”和“it”。
We've got "eat" and "it". Now, these words can come together quite often in one sentence.
这些单词经常在同一个句子里出现。例如，我可以说：“Can I eat it（我能把它吃了吗）?”
For example, I could say, "Can I eat it?" Can I eat it; can I eat it; can I eat it.
同时注意语调。
And think about intonation there as well. Think about how the intonation goes when we ask questions in English.
想想我们用英语提问时语调的变化。这是一个“是/否”的问题，所以我们要读成“Can I eat it?”，上升语调。
It's a yes/no question, so we would go "Can I eat it?", up, okay? So, we're learning some intonation here as well.
我们还学了一些关于语调的知识。我对你们真好。
I'm so good to you guys. How about we try a double one?
我们试试两组词的怎么样？我们试试一个句子里包含两组最小音差的词。
Let's try two minimal pairs in one sentence. Now, we know we're reaching the big time with this sound, so let's do it.
现在是这两个音最激烈的碰撞，我们来吧。多读几次。
He's sitting on his seat; he's sitting on his seat; he's sitting on his seat. Try that one a few times.
当你读准确了，你就掌握了。让我们试试另一种方法，你只要一遍又一遍地重复它们。
When you get that right, you should be on the right track. So, let's just try another technique which is where you just repeat them over and over again.
我希望你在家里练习这些句子，同时也要练习一遍又一遍地重复这些单词，看看你是否有什么进步。我们有“cheek”和“chick”。
So, what I would like you to do for some practice at home is practice these sentences, but also practice just repeating these words one after another and see whether you make any improvement. So we've got "cheek" and "chick".
“Deep”和“dip”。还有“each”和“itch”。
Cheek/chick; cheek/chick. "Deep" and "dip".
我要你做的是用你的语法，用你的词汇，用你的想象力来造句。因为当你学习这些单词的发音时，它也能帮助你提高你的英语水平。
Deep/dip; deep/dip. And "each" with "itch".
用这些发音和练习创造你自己的句子。真心希望这能帮到你。
Each/itch; each/itch. And what I want you to do is create some sentences use your grammar, use your vocabulary, and use your imagination to create sentences.
对于这两个音，就像我说的，我的大多数学生都有发音问题，甚至那些说“我发这个音没有问题”的学生，但是当他们和我在 Skype 上上课时，他们会意识到，“哦，是的，我的这个发音有问题。”然后，我们花了一些时间练习它。这非常重要。
Because it also helps you improve your English when you're learning these words with pronunciation. Create your own sentences using these sounds and practice.
如果你想在 Skype 上参加我的一些语音课程，表达课程，英式英语课程，这些课程都提供录音和图像和反馈，那么欢迎你预订我的一个 Skype 课程。你可以订购一个试听课。
So, I really hope this helped you These sounds, like I said, most of my students have a problem with this, and even people say, "I don't have a problem with this sound", but then when they get in a Skype lesson with me, they realize, "Oh, okay, yeah, I do have a problem with this sound."
通常会有一个等候名单，你可以预订试听课，然后，我们会决定一个日期，我们双方都有空让你开始上课。非常感谢你的观看。
And then, we spend a while practicing it. It's really important, okay? If you would like my help on skype with some pronunciation lessons, expressions lessons, British English lessons provided with voice recordings and images and feedback, then you're welcome to book a Skype lesson with me.
You can book a trial lesson. There's usually a waiting list, so you would book the trial lesson and then, we would decide a date when we'd both be free for you to start.
Thank you very much for watching. I hope you enjoyed the video, and I will see you all very soon.
Cheers, guys. Thank you. Bye.
