This video contains excerpts from a pronunciation lesson I had with my friend from Turkey In this particular video,
本视频中包含了我和土耳其朋友上的发音课的节选,
we are working on the sound 'aa' as in 'bat'.
我们讨论了“bat”中的“aa”音。
When he was first learning this sound, aa it felt very awkward and overdone for him to drop his jaw so much.
他第一次学这个发音时,感到非常尴尬又过分,下巴下移了很多,
He was much more comfortable keeping it about here much more neutral. Aa.
他更愿意保持在适中的位置。Aa。
But this sound has a really large opening here in the jaw.
但是发这个声音在下巴有一个很大的开口,
After he got more comfortable opening his mouth, he was also spreading his mouth, aa, aa
当他张开嘴更舒服之后,他也把嘴张开了,aa、aa,
and making it this big wide rectangle which is also not correct.
把它张成一个很大的长方形,这也是不正确的。
It is not so much stretched this way as dropped here with the tongue going up and then down Aa, aa.
它不是这样伸展的,而是把舌头往上提,然后放下,Aa、aa。
In this section, we are talking of the pronunciation of the word 'capped'.
这次,我们将讨论“capped”一词的发音。
Capped: in this context meaning the apex of something.
Capped在这个上下文中,意思是某物的顶点。
For example, 'I capped my career with a concert in Carnegie Hall. Capped.
例如,我在卡内基音乐厅举办了一场音乐会,我到达了职业生涯的封顶。Capped,
When he was not dropping his jaw, aa ' and was keeping it capped, capped, it sounded like 'kept',
下巴没有下去时,aa,一直压住,压住,听起来像是‘kept’,
which is past tense 'keep', as in, 'I kept my cell phone in my purse' 'Capped, kept.
‘keep’是过去时。比如‘我把手机放在钱包里了’,‘Capped,kept’。
Aa, aa, capped, kept.
Aa,Aa,压住,压住。
Capped the life of … Aa … capped. Yep, it's aa…do you see? my jaw dropps and my tongue– aa.
生活的顶峰…Aa…capped。是的,是aa…看到了吗?我的下巴往下放,我的舌头—aa。
Aa, yeah, aa. Capped, capped.
Aa,是的,Aa。Capped、capped。
So, your mouth needs to open more: ca. Really? yeah.
所以,你的嘴需要张得更大:ca。真是这样吗?没错。
But when you open it I want you to say aa. Aa.
但是当你张开时,我希望你发出aa。Aa。
That was better, do it again. Aa. That was good.
这样更好,再来一次。Aa。很好。
Now that feels kind of stupid right? But that's the sound in English.
现在感觉有点傻对吧?但这是英语的发音。
Capped, capped, capped. Aa, aa, aa. Ok. capped. Capped.
Capped、capped、capped。Aa、aa、aa。好了,capped、Capped。
That was good.
很好。
Here we are talking about the word 'elaborate', aa. Elaborate — elaa.
我们要讨论一下“elaborate”这个词,aa。
Elaborate. Aa. Elaborate. Yeah, do just 'aa'. Aa.
Elaborate—elaa。Elaborate、Aa。Elaborate。没错,就发“aa”。Aa。
That is very good. Aa, aa.
很好。Aa、Aa。
And I can tell that your tongue is doing it right. I learned. Good! You learned it.
我看得出你的舌头做得没错。我学会了。很好!你学会了。
I Here when he first says the word 'spectacular', watch how little movement there is in the mouth.
他第一次说“spectacular”这个词时,我注意到嘴的动作很小,
It is very much like this. And on the second one, see how much he drops his jaw.
很像这样。第二次时,看看他把下巴放下来多少。
And that is correct. …if not spectacular– spec-tAAc-ular. Spectacular.
这是正确的,spectacular、spec-tAAc-ular、Spectacular。
