Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and we're gonna study Harry's British English accent and learn lots of fantastic vocabulary along the way.
《哈利·波特与魔法石》——我们将研究哈利所说的英式英语口音，并在此过程中学习大量精彩的词汇。
So, hop on board the Hogwarts Express and let's learn some English!
那么，快登上霍格沃茨特快列车吧，让我们一起学习英语吧！
Let's start with Harry Potter's accent.
我们先从哈利·波特的口音说起吧。
He speaks with received pronunciation, which is a British English accent that's associated with education and with privilege.
他的发音符合传统的标准发音规范，这种发音属于英式英语中的“上层阶级”口音，通常与受过良好教育的人或享有特权的人相关联。
Now, it has no geographical boundaries, so you can find it anywhere in the UK, although it is connected with London and the South of England.
现在，这种文化现象已经没有地理上的界限了，因此你可以在英国的任何地方找到它的踪迹；不过它与伦敦以及英格兰南部地区的关系最为紧密。
Here's an example.
以下是一个例子。
- A key part of received pronunciation is clarity, it's being understood by the person listening to you.
- 在发音的正确性中，清晰度是一个关键因素；只有发音清晰，听众才能真正理解你的意思。
So therefore it's very important for each sound to be clear.
因此，每个声音都必须清晰可辨，这一点非常重要。
So in this example, the consonants are very clear.
在这个例子中，辅音的发音非常清晰。
For example, that.
例如，就是那个。
The T at the end of that he pronounces very clearly.
他发那个单词末尾的“T”音时非常清晰。
- Hagrid, what is that?
- 哈格德，那是什么？
- In other accents, that would be dropped, it would be tha', but with Harry Potter and received pronunciation, that.
- 在其他口音中，这个发音会被省略，会变成“tha”；但根据《哈利·波特》中的发音习惯，应该保留这个发音。
- In this example, the H of hear in some accents of British English, that would be dropped,
在这个例子中，英式英语某些口音中“hear”这个词中的字母“h”会被省略。
it'd be 'ear, but in received pronunciation it's nice and clear, you're saying every single sound, hear.
这个词应该是“hear”，但在标准的发音中，它的发音非常清晰、准确；你会发清楚每一个音节，也就是“hear”。
- Can you hear me?
- 你能听到我说话吗？
- Now, Harry does use examples of connected speech, this is where we join sounds or we omit sounds.
- 哈利确实会使用连读的例子来说明这种现象：在连读中，我们会将某些音素连在一起发音，或者省略某些音素。
- For example there, talked to.
例如，就在那里，我们进行了交谈。
Now, that ed of talked is a tuh and in the next word is a tuh, too, so the first tuh disappears,
现在，这个“tuh”出现在第一个单词中，而下一个单词里也有一个“tuh”；因此，第一个“tuh”就被省略了。
so it's talk to, talk to a snake.
所以，这就好比是在和一条蛇“交谈”一样……
In this example, he says often off-en.
在这个例子中，他说“often off-en”（“often off-en”可能是某个特定语境下的表达，具体含义需结合更多背景信息）。
There are two different ways to say this word: off-ten or off-en.
这个词有两种不同的发音方式：分别是 “off-ten” 和 “off-en”。
It's up to you, it's up to the individual speaker which one you prefer, there's no change in meaning,
这完全取决于你，也取决于具体的演讲者——你更喜欢哪一种表达方式；这两种表达方式在含义上并没有任何区别。
it's exactly the same.
完全一样。
Often or offen.
经常，或者几乎总是如此。
- Here again is another example of a word that could be changed in sound, ee-ther or eye-ther.
- 这里又有一个例子：某个单词的发音可以发生变化，可能是“ee-ther”或者“eye-ther”。
Ee-ther, eye-ther.
Ee-ther” 或 “Eye-ther”……这两个词看起来有些奇怪（或可能是拼写错误）。
It doesn't matter which one you choose, they're completely interchangeable.
你选择哪一个都无所谓，因为它们完全可以互换使用。
- Okay, here Harry uses up, up, he uses the uh sound, uh.
- 好了，这里哈利使用了某个特定的音效（“uh”声）。
Now, in England, this sound divides the country in half.
如今，在英格兰，这种声音将整个国家分裂成了两部分。
In the South they say uh and in the North it's oo, oo.
在南方，人们说“呃”；而在北方，人们说“哦”。
So in the South uh-p, in the North oo-p.
那么，在南方是“uh-p”，在北方是“oo-p”。
Take the word butter, butter.
以“butter”这个词为例吧。
Now, I'm using that uh sound, buh, buh-tter.
现在，我正在使用那种声音……嗯，就是“butter”这个词所代表的那种声音。
In the North of England, bu, bu-tter, bu-tter.
在英格兰北部，黄油……黄油……
Muh-ther, in the South of England, moo-ther in the North of England.
在英格兰南部，人们称母亲为“mother”；在英格兰北部，人们同样也用“mother”来称呼母亲。
Sh-uht in the South of England, sh-ut in the North of England.
英格兰南部也是如此，英格兰北部也是如此。
