Advanced English Pronunciation Training: V vs W · English Like A Native
本课聚焦于英语发音中的/v/和/w/对比训练,提升口语清晰度和听力辨识能力,适合希望改善发音和听力的学习者。
Today we're training a subtle yet powerful English pronunciation contrast.
今天,我们将练习一种微妙却又非常有效的英语发音对比技巧。
The difference between /v/ and /w/.
/v/ 和 /w/ 之间的区别是什么?
If your goal is clarity when speaking English, then subtle sound accuracy has value.
如果你的目标是在说英语时做到表达清晰、条理分明,那么细微的发音准确性也是非常有价值的。
So today our focus is on ear training because you cannot consistently produce a contrast if you can't reliably hear it.
因此,今天我们的重点在于“听觉训练”(即通过练习来提高对声音的分辨能力)。因为如果你无法准确、可靠地辨别声音之间的差异,就无法持续地产生这些差异(即无法在音乐表现中创造出鲜明的对比效果)。
So let's begin.
那么,让我们开始吧。
First the V sound is /v/.
首先,“V”这个字母的发音是 /v/。
It's a voiced fricative.
这是一个有声摩擦音。

Now try making the sound and then moving the sound into a word like: value.

Do it with me: value.
跟我一起想一想:“价值”这个概念吧。
Now this word: version.

The great thing about working on this contrast between /v/ and /w/ is that the difference is so clear physically,
研究 /v/ 和 /w/ 之间的发音差异的最大好处在于:从物理层面来看,这两种发音之间的区别非常明显。
which is why I recommend that you practice in front of a mirror so you can see what's happening.
这就是为什么我建议你对着镜子练习,这样你就能清楚地看到自己的动作和变化。
But when you're going about your daily business, you have to rely on hearing the difference.
但在你日常的活动中,你必须依靠自己的听觉来判断这些声音之间的差异。
So let's work on your ears now.
那么,我们现在就来训练一下你的听力吧。
So I'm going to repeat a word for you.
那么,我需要再重复一个词给你们听。
One version will be correct and one version will be a mispronunciation.

Your task is to identify which of the pair is the accurate one.
你的任务是判断这两者中哪一个才是正确的。
I'll repeat it three times.
