英语单词中不发音的字母有多烦人?

This video is all about English words with silent letters in them.
这段视频讲的都是含有不发音字母的英语单词。

I'm going to teach you a few simple rules to help you pronounce English words correctly.
我将教你一些简单的规则来帮助你正确地发音英语单词。
Don't forget to turn on the subtitles either.
也别忘了打开字幕。
The button is just down there, so you can follow along.
按钮就在下面，你可以跟着看。
There are a lot of English words that have silent letters in them.
有很多英语单词都有不发音的字母。
And there are lots of silent letters in English!
英语中有很多不发音的字母！
About sixty percent of all English words have a silent letter!
大约60%的英语单词都有一个默写字母！
No wonder pronunciation is so frustrating, right?
难怪发音这么令人沮丧，对吧？
And they can be silent these letters, but they're not always silent!
这些字母可以不发音，但不是总是不发音！
So you have to be careful!
所以你要小心了！
You need to know a few basic rules to help with the pronunciation of silent letters in English words.
你需要知道一些基本的规则来帮助英语单词中不发音字母的读法。
Okay, let's start at the top with the letter A.
好的，让我们从开始的字母A开始。
Now the letter A can be silent especially in words that end in '-ally'.
现在字母A可以不发音，尤其是在以“-ally”结尾的单词中。
Like these:
就像这样:
So, I'm not pronouncing:
所以，我不是在发音:
Cut the A out.
把A去掉。
Get rid of it!
把它甩掉！
Now there's a rule to remember with the letter B.
字母B有一个规则。
It's always silent when it follows the letter M
当它跟在字母M后面时总是不发音
So, practice them with me.
所以，和我一起练习吧。
I'm not pronouncing the B, I'm just pronouncing the M consonant sound.
我不是在发B，我只是在发M辅音。
And the letter B is often silent when it before the consonant T,
字母B在辅音T之前通常是不发音的，
so think of these examples:
想想这些例子；
So, see in all of those examples, my lips are closing and coming together to form the B sound, I'm just pronouncing the T.
所以，在所有这些例子中，我的嘴唇闭合并合在一起形成了B音，我只是在发T音。
Now, the letter C can cause a few problems because it's often silent after the letter S, like in these very common examples –
现在，字母C可能会引起一些问题，因为它通常在字母S之后不发音，就像在这些非常常见的例子中一样——
they are quite tricky!
它们非常棘手!
So that's the silent C.
所以这就是不发音的C。
So what about the letter D?
那么字母D呢？
Yep, it can be silent too!
是的，它也可以不发音！
So, I'm not pronouncing the D in 'sandwich' I'm just pronouncing the consonant N sound before it.
所以，我不是在发“sandwich”中的D，我只是发它前面的辅音N。
Try it with me one more time.
再试一次。
And a D can be very quiet, not quite silent, but very quiet in front of a G, like in these examples:
D可以发很小的声音，不是完全不发声，但是在G前面声音很小，就像下面的例子：
So in these examples the D and the G combined together produce the 'dg' consonant sound 'dg' Okay,
在这些例子中D和G组合在一起产生了辅音dg，
so the letter E can often be silent at the end of a word.
所以字母E在单词末尾通常是不发音的。
I'm pretty sure you know this one already, like these examples:
我很确定你已经知道这个了，比如下面的例子:
But that E on the end, although it might be silent, it can affect the pronunciation of the vowel sound before it.
但是E在结尾，虽然它可能是不发声的，但它可以影响前面元音的发音。
Let's look at these examples:
让我们来看看这些例子：
So see how the E at the end, although it's not pronounced, is affecting the vowel sound before it.
所以看看结尾的E，虽然不发音，却在影响它前面的元音。
It makes it longer.
它让前面的元音发音更长了。
So hid /i/ becomes hide /i:/
所以藏/i/就隐藏/i:/
But if the E is the final letter in the word
但如果E是单词中最后一个字母
but it's the only vowel sound then it needs to be pronounced, like in these examples E can also be silent at the end of past tense regular verbs, which all end in ED, right?
但是它是唯一的元音，然后它需要发音，就像在这些例子中，E在过去时态规则动词的结尾也可以是沉默的，这些规则动词都以ED结尾，对吧?
But they're not always pronounced like it is in 'wanted'.
但它们并不总是像“wanted”中的发音一样。
So, you can hear the ED sound there '-ed', '-ed'.
所以，你可以听到ED的发音。
It's its own syllable.
这是它自己的音节。
But a lot of the time that E isn't pronounced
但是很多时候E不发音
Now they could be a little bit tricky, so let's do it again!
现在它们可能有点棘手，让我们再做一次!
Okay, so a G can also be silent too!
所以G也可以是不发音的！
Think about the word sign, champagne, design, or foreign.
想想sign(标志)、champagne(香槟酒)、design(设计)或foreign(外国的)这个词。
All of these examples have a silent G.
所有这些例子都有一个不发音的G。
And the combination GH can also be silent when it comes after a vowel sound Now,
当GH跟在元音后面时也可以不发音，
the letter H is often silent too, often when it's following a W, like in the examples
字母H通常也是不发音的，当它跟在W后面的时候，就像例子中那样
And sometimes it's not pronounced at the start of a word like honest and hour.
有时在单词的开头不发音，比如honest和hour。
And sometimes the H is not pronounced when it follows any of these three letters: C, G or R.
有时H跟在C G R这三个字母后面时不发音。
Now, most of the time CH is pronounced 'ch' but on small occasions or rare occasions it's not pronounce, the H is silent.
现在，大多数时候CH发“CH”音，但在小场合或罕见场合它不发“CH”音，H是不发音的。
Good news!
真是好消息！
The I is not usually silent, it's usually pronounced.
I通常不是无声的，它通常是发音的。
Except in the word business!
除了商业这个词！
Okay, K!
好的,K！
Now I know you know this one!
现在我知道你知道这个了！
A K is not pronounced when it comes before an N.
K在N之前不发音。
The letter L can be silent too and it's quite common when you look at this list.
字母L也可以不发音，你看这个列表，这是很常见的。
But consider this rule to be a bit of a cheat because the letter L is quite difficult to pronounce in all of these words, even for a native speaker!
但是请认为这条规则有点欺骗的意味，因为字母L在所有这些单词中都很难发音，即使对于母语人士也是如此!
So, this makes it easier!
所以，这就好说了!
In these words where /l/ is really difficult to pronounce then it's silent!
在这些单词中，/l/很难发音，那么它就不发音了!
Ready?
准备好了吗？
Let's try it.
我们试试。
So, we got through quite a bit but we're only halfway through!
所以，我们完成了相当多，但我们只完成了一半!
