G'day guys.
大家好！
Welcome to this episode of Aussie English.
欢迎收听这一期《澳洲英语》节目。
Today I want to talk to you about 1 simple trick to sound more like an Aussie when you speak English.
今天我想和大家分享一个简单的技巧：通过这个技巧，你在说英语时听起来会更像澳大利亚人。
Let's go.
我们走吧。
So, this one simple trick is words that end with -er, -or, -ar, -ure, -our, and -a (and -re*),
这个简单的技巧就是：记住那些以 “-er”、“-or”、“-ar”、“-ure”、“-our”、“-a” 以及 “-re” 结尾的单词。
all have the same pronunciation in Australian English, at least the majority of the time.
在澳大利亚英语中，所有这些单词的发音都是一样的（至少在大多数情况下是这样）。
And this is the short /ɑ/ sound.
这就是短元音 /ɑ/ 的发音。
So, we make this sound by just lowering our jaw, quite a way, and literally just saying the sound /ɑ:/,
那么，我们只需将下颌大幅向下移动，然后发出“/ɑ:/”这个音即可。
but short, /ɑ/.
不过发音较短，为 /ɑ/。
So, as opposed to words like "bar" and "car", which have the long ɑ sound, this sound is a very short sound.
与“bar”（酒吧）和“car”（汽车）这样的单词不同，这些单词中的“ɑ”音发音较长，而这里的“ɑ”音实际上是一个非常短的音。
So, let's go through a couple of words for each one of these endings so you can practice sounding more like an Aussie.
那么，让我们来逐一了解一下这些词尾的含义，这样你就可以练习让自己的发音更像澳大利亚人啦。
And I will admit there are exceptions.
我必须承认，确实存在一些例外情况。
Like everything in English, the rule is that there is always an exception.
就像英语中的所有事物一样，这里的规则也是“总有例外”的。
But, the majority of the time these words are going to end with the sound /ɑ/.
但是，在大多数情况下，这些单词的发音结尾都是 /ɑ/ 音。
So it's a good place to start.
因此，这是一个很好的起点。
So, words that end with -a.
那么，就是那些以 “-a” 结尾的单词。
Area Cobra Coma Flora Words that end with -ar.
Area Cobra Coma Flora”：这些词中，以 “-ar” 结尾的单词包括……（具体单词需根据上下文补充）。
Polar Cheddar Linear Jaguar Words that end with -er.
Polar Cheddar、Linear Jaguar……以及那些以“-er”结尾的单词。
Water Laser Maker Beer Words that end with -re.
水激光制造器”；以及一些以 “-re” 结尾的啤酒相关词汇。
Centre Theatre Tyre Fire Words that end with -or.
Centre Theatre Tyre Fire 以 “-or” 结尾的单词。
Mirror Actor Alligator Doctor Words that end with -ure.
镜像演员；短吻鳄；医生；以“-ure”结尾的单词。
Treasure Cure Nature Structure Words that end with -our.

Favour Neighbour Humour Hour And then, as
支持“邻里幽默时光”（Neighbour Humour Hour）这个活动吧……
a little bonus here at the end, guys, sometimes words with -ur at the end are pronounced as /ɑ/ as well.
最后给大家一个小惊喜：有时候，以 “-ur” 结尾的单词也会发成 “/ɑ/” 的音。
Although, a lot of the time they're going to sound like /ɜ/.
不过，很多时候它们的发音会类似于 /ɜ/。
And one example I could think of was "amateur".
我能想到的一个例子就是“amateur”（业余爱好者）这个词。
So, that's it for this episode guys.
好了，这一集的内容就到这里了，各位。
I really recommend trying to make these pronunciation changes IF you want to sound like an Australian.
如果你想模仿澳大利亚人的发音，我真心建议你尝试做出这些发音上的调整。
Otherwise, you're going to have somewhat of an American accent if you're pronouncing that /r/ sound at the ends of words like "water",
否则，如果你在像 “water” 这样的单词的末尾发 /r/ 这个音，你的发音就会带有明显的美国口音。
"anchor", "treasure", "neighbour".
锚”、“宝藏”、“邻居”。
That is a very American sound with that /r/ sound.
那个带有“/r/”音节的发音确实非常具有美国特色。
In Australian English we don't curl the tongue up to make the /r/ sound.
在澳大利亚英语中，我们不会卷起舌头来发 /r/ 这个音。
We drop the jaw and we keep our tongue flat.
我们张开下巴，同时保持舌头处于平放状态。
/ɑ/ "Neighbour", "treasure", "hour", "actor".
/ɑ/ “邻居”（neighbour）、“宝藏”（treasure）、“小时”（hour）、“演员”（actor）。
Anyway, good luck guys.
