你可以根据自己的喜好来选择更喜欢的口音；当然，每个人都有自己的偏好，这很正常。
whatever accent you prefer, but this video is just for the sake to tell you guys the main difference between British and American accent.
无论你更喜欢哪种口音，这个视频的目的只是为了告诉大家英式口音和美式口音之间的主要区别。

在我们开始之前，如果你们有兴趣学习英式或美式口音的话……

Alright, now let's get started.
好吧，现在我们开始吧。
Now, as I just said, is that everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
正如我刚才所说，每个人都有权拥有自己的观点。
You know, I usually prefer British accent more, but then I speak American accent a lot.
你知道吗，我通常更喜欢英式口音，不过我也经常说美式口音。
So it's kind of equal.
所以，某种程度上来说，两者是平等的。
I like the boat.
我喜欢这艘船。
I like both accents.
我喜欢这两种口音。
For me personally, I think American accent is really chill and, you know, it's just super,
就我个人而言，我觉得美式口音非常酷，真的非常棒。
super cool, whereas British accent is pretty expressive and it sounds a little more sophisticated.
超级酷的！英国口音非常有表现力，听起来也更加优雅、精致一些。
So these are just my personal opinion.
这些只是我的个人观点而已。
So now let's get started.
那么，现在我们就开始吧。
So the first difference is the intonation.
因此，第一个区别在于语调（即说话时的声音高低和抑扬顿挫）。
Now what is intonation?
那么，什么是语调呢？
Intonation is the way you pronounce a word.
语调是指你发音的方式。
How much do you exaggerate a word?
你对一个词语的描述会夸张到什么程度呢？
How much do you lend in a vowel?
你在一个元音音素中会发出多大的声音（或能量）呢？
So the first thing, and right now the accent I'm talking in is American,
那么，首先需要说明的是，我现在使用的口音是美国口音。
so the first thing you people need to know is that British people, they
所以你们首先需要知道的是：英国人……
lend in their words.
他们用言语表达了自己的想法（或观点）。
They what?
他们……什么？
They lend in their words, whereas American people,
他们用言语来“表达”自己的意思（即通过语言来传达信息），而美国人则……（句子在这里不完整，无法继续翻译。）
they speak pretty slow.
他们说话的速度相当慢。
Now if you people think by slow, I mean they speak on a speed really slow.
现在，如果你们认为“说话慢”指的是说话速度非常慢的话……
So I'm not talking about speed here.
所以我在这里并不是在谈论速度的问题。
I'm not talking about what?
我并不是在谈论什么……
I'm not talking about speed here.
我在这里并不是在谈论速度的问题。
I'm talking about the way they have just one tone, kind of monotonous, you know?
我指的是他们的音乐风格——只使用一种单调的音调，你懂的吧？
So that one tone is, they
所以，那个音调就是他们……
rarely change that.
这种情况很少会发生变化。
Whereas on the other hand, British people are pretty expressive.
另一方面，英国人表达情感的方式相当直接、外向。
