Hello, I'm John Russell.
你好,我是约翰·拉塞尔。
Imagine you are going to travel.
想象一下你要去旅行。
You want to plan ahead and find a place to stay on your trip. What are two verbs you need to know.
你想提前计划并找到一个在旅行中停留的地方。你需要知道的两个动词是什么。
"Book" and "reserve" are two of the most useful verbs for traveling.
“book”和“reserve”是旅行中最有用的两个动词。
The two words have basically the same meaning, but it is good to know both of them.
这两个词的意思基本相同,但最好两个都知道。
You can use "book" and "reserve" to talk about hotels, flights, car rentals, and so on. Let's start with "book".
你可以使用“book”和“reserve”来谈论酒店、航班、汽车租赁等等。让我们从“book”开始。
In this case, we are not talking about the noun "a book". We are talking about the verb "to book." Book involves one vowel sound: -o. Book has 2 consonant sounds:-b,-k.
在这种情况下,我们不是在谈论名词“a book”。我们是在谈论动词“to book”。“Book”包含一个元音:-o。“Book”有两个辅音:-b,-k。
When we put the consonants and vowel together we get this: book.
当我们把辅音和元音放在一起时,我们得到了这个:book。
So, you might say, I would like to book a room or you might say I need to book a rental car.
所以,你可能会说,我想预订一个房间,或者你可能会说,我需要预订一辆租车。
Now let's turn to "reserve." Reserve involves 2 vowel sounds:-e,-er. Reserve has 3 consonant sounds.
现在让我们谈谈“reserve”。Reserve涉及2个元音发音:-e,-er。Reserve有3个辅音发音。
When we put it all together, we get the word: reserve.
当我们把所有这些放在一起时,我们得到了这个词:reserve。
Note that we placed a little more stress toward the end of the word like this: reserve reserve.
请注意,我们在单词的末尾稍微加重了一点压力,就像这样:reserve reserve。
That's all for today. Keep up the good work.
今天就到这里。继续保持良好的工作状态。
