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见单词、短语和问题。
In recent lessons we talked about how to ask for directions but what do you say when someone asks you for directions?
在近期的课程中,我们谈论了如何问路,但当有人向你问路时,你应该说什么?
Two words are especially important for giving directions:"left" and "right".
关于指示方向,有两个词特别重要:“left ”和“right。”
Today we will focus on the word "left".
今天我们将重点关注“ left。”
We can start by breaking the word into its individual sounds.
我们可以首先将这个词分解为其单独的发音。
We have one vowel sound and a few consonant sounds.
我们有一个元音和一些辅音。
Let's start with the last sound first.
我们先从最后一个声音开始。
Watch my mouth carefully and repeat after me:
仔细观察我的嘴并跟着我重复:
-T, -T, -T.
-T,-T,-T。
Now let's do the last two consonant sounds slowly.
现在让我们慢慢地读最后两个辅音。
Pay careful attention to my lips.
注意我的嘴唇。
-FT, -FT.
-FT,-FT。
The vowel sound comes next.
接下来是元音。
Once again, pay careful attention to my mouth.
再次注意我的嘴的动作。
Repeat after me: -E, -EFT, -EFT.
跟着我重复:-E,-EFT,-EFT。
We are almost done with the word.
这个词我们快要说完了。
We have one final consonant sound: the tricky "l "sound.
我们有最后一个辅音:棘手的“l”。
Watch closely, listen and repeat after me.
仔细观察,听并跟着我重复。
-L, -L,LEFT, LEFT.
- L,-L,LEFT,LEFT。
That's all for today!
