Alright let's start with the word 'inspire'.
好的，让我们从‘inspire’这个单词开始吧。
Yeah if you're going to inspire people with your words, you're going to have to know how to use them, right?
是的，如果你想用自己的语言激励其他人的话，你必须知道该如何使用，对吧？
If you inspire someone, you make them want to do something, you make them feel confident and excited to try something.
你激励其他人，就意味着你想要让其他人做点什么事情，你会让他们因尝试某件事情而自信和激动。
Maybe something new or maybe something that they haven't done in quite a while.
可能是一些新的事情，或者是他们很久都没有做过的事情。
Let's start with pronunciation first.
让我们以发音开始吧。
So that middle syllable is the stressed one.
中间的音节需要重读。
In my accent, you can't hear that final R sound but you would in an American accent.
在我的口音中，你是听不到后面的r音的，但是是美音中可以听到。
And in the past, it's 'inspired'.
过去式是‘inspired’。
Now that final D is a soft D sound so when it's spoken, you hardly hear it.
结尾的d是清辅音，所以说这个音的时候，基本上听不到。
So hear how the air doesn't come out.
听，空气并没有出来。我感到被她深深激励。
I feel inspired by her.
她给了我激励。
Not inspired by her but inspired by her.
结尾的d要轻读。
So I'm catching that sound before I release it.
在我释放之前，我发出了那个音。
So someone can inspire someone to do something, right?
某人可以激励其他人做某件事情，是吧？
A friend inspired me to run a marathon.
我的一个朋友激励我去跑马拉松。
The orchestra inspired her to study music.
管弦乐队鼓舞了她学习音乐。
His brother inspired him to travel the world. Right?
他的哥哥激励他环游世界。
So if someone inspires someone else so the structure is always the same, right?
所以如果有人激励其他人的话，结构总是相同的，对吧？但
But you can also be inspired by something.
是你也可以被其他的东西所激励。
She was inspired by her boss.
她被老板激励了他。
I was inspired by the speech.
这段演讲鼓舞了我。
Who inspires you?
谁激励你？
Is there someone in your life who makes you excited to do something and makes you want to do something?
在你的生活中有没有这样一个人让你非常激动地去做某件事情，让你想要去做某件事情？
Tell me about that person in the comments. Tell me who inspires you.
在评论区和我说说那个人吧。告诉我谁激励了你。
You can also say that they're an inspiration or that they are inspiring.
你也可以说他们对你来说是一种激励，或者是他们非常鼓舞人心。
So if you're thinking of someone who inspires you, try to use all of these words, all of these words from the 'inspire' word family to talk about them.
如果你想到了激励你的人的话，试着去使用所有的单词，也就是‘inspire’派生的所有词汇进行描述。
Now when you're feeling inspired, you may need some motivation to help you take action, right?
当你感觉被激励的时候，你可能需要一些动力帮助你采取行动，对吧？
Motivation is the reason why you want to do something.
动力是你想要做某件事情的原因。
It's all of the things and the feelings that make you keep working hard to reach your goals or to finish something.
就是让你不断努力工作，达成目标，完成某件事情的一切。
You want to become a more confident English speaker for a purpose, right?
你肯定是为了某个目的才想要变成更加自信的说英语的人，对吧？
It could be to get a better job, it could be to meet people from other countries, to study abroad, maybe you'd love to travel.
可能是谋求一份更好的工作，可能是遇见其他国家的人，可能是出国留学，也可能是你喜欢旅行。
These are all reasons or your motivation to learn the language, okay?
这都是学习语言的原因或者是动机，对吧？
So motivation is like a better, more sophisticated way of saying reason.
所以呢，‘动机’是用来说原因的更好的、更加高级的方式。
You can ask people "What's your motivation for learning English?"
你可以问其他人“你学习英语的动机是什么？”
Now there's a lot of syllables to pronounce here.
这里有好几个音节。
Motivation.
动机。
So words that end in -tion like this one are usually stressed on the syllable before last so it's motivation.
以-tion结尾的单词通常重音都放在-tion之前的最后一个音节上，所以应该念‘motivation’。
And listen to that last syllable as well.
听一下最后一个音节。
That last syllable is unstressed, the vowel sound reduces right down to the schwa so it's short and low in pitch.
最后一个音节是非重读的，元音变成了中元音，所以它很短，而且音调很低。
It's not motivation. It's motivation.
不是‘motivation’。而是‘motivation’。
My sister Jill works full-time and she studies medicine at night school.
我的姐姐吉尔全职工作的同时还在夜校学习医学。
And that sounds crazy, right?
那听起来很疯狂，对吧？
But her kid's education is her motivation for studying at night school.
但是她在夜校学习的动力是她孩子的教育。
Now you've got the motivation let's expand your vocabulary a little
你已经有了动力了，那我们再来扩充一下词汇量吧，
because we can use the verb to motivate, to motivate someone to do something, to also express these ideas.
因为我们可以使用动词来激励其他人，去激励其他人做某件事情，表达这些意思。
She needs people around her who motivate and inspire her to succeed.
她需要身边的人给予她动力，激励她成功。
There are also two adjective forms that you need to know, the -ed and the -ing forms.
还有两个你需要知道的形容词，以-ed和-ing形式结尾。

动力满满的，和令人动力满满的。

So I'm curious. What or who motivates you to keep going?
我很好奇，什么事情，或者是谁让你动力满满，不断前行？
