Hello! I'm John Russell.
你好！我是约翰·拉塞尔。
Let's continue our exploration of common words, phrases and questions in American English.
让我们继续探索美式英语中的常用单词、短语和问题。
In recent lessons, we Learned about giving people directions- turning left, right or continuing straight ahead.
在最近的课程中，我们学习了给人指路——向左转、向右转或继续直走。
Today we will pay careful attention to a common way to say something is near.
今天我们将仔细关注一种常见的表示某物在附近的方式。
We often say around the corner when we are near the corner of the street.
我们在靠近街道拐角处时经常说“around the corner”。
You could say this when you are in a car or walking on the street.
你可以在车里或走在街上的时候说这句话。
For example, if you are walking down the street and ask someone where the train station is, they might say this: "It's just around the corner."
例如，如果你走在街上，问某人火车站在哪里，他们可能会这样说：“around the corner(就在拐角处）。”
We can improve our pronunciation of the expression by clapping on the part of the word that has primary stress.
我们可以通过在单词的主要重音部分拍手来提高我们的发音。
That is, we can clap on the part of the word that we need to say stronger or more forcefully. Let's start with "around". Repeat after me, and be sure to clap. Around, around.
也就是说，我们可以在需要说得更有力或更强调的单词部分拍手。让我们从“around”开始。跟我重复，一定要拍手。Around，around。
Now, let's work on "corner".
现在，让我们练习“corner”。
Repeat after me: corner,corner.
跟我重复：corner，corner。
Let's put it all together: around the corner, around the corner, around the corner, around the corner.
让我们把这两个单词连在一起：round the corner, around the corner, around the corner.
Also note that the word "around" has two different vowel sounds:/?/,/a?/,around.
还要注意“around”这个单词有两个不同的元音发音：/?/，/a?/，around。
That's all for today! Keep up the good work!
今天就到这里！继续努力！
