这是我最喜欢的电视节目之一，还有《We're》……

首先，我会把相关内容分解成更简单的部分，这样就能帮助你进一步提升英语水平了。那么，我们开始吧。
Let's watch the scene first.
我们先来看看这个场景吧。
I Don't know why I thought getting
我不知道自己为什么会认为“得到”某样东西是一件容易的事……

如果把这些东西弄出来，对奶奶会有帮助的。
little statues of herself made they were her Christmas gift each of us now I feel better about my stupid well in Africa.
他们为自己制作了一些小雕像，作为圣诞礼物送给我们每个人。现在，对于我在非洲犯下的那些愚蠢错误，我感到好受多了。

嘿，我觉得那些糖果真的很难吃……你甚至把最后一颗糖果的包装纸都撕掉了。
I'm sad shut up I heard that if you die on Halloween you come back as a zombie.
我很伤心……别说了！我听说如果在万圣节那天死了，就会变成僵尸重新复活。
I can see that.
我明白了。
Nana be all brains
娜娜可是个十足的“学霸”（只会用脑子的人）。
Nope I just
不，我只是……
remember Nana when we were little she would She would oh my god.
还记得我们小时候的奶奶吗？她总是……哦，我的天啊（表示惊讶或无奈）。
What is wrong with you to what our grandmother just died Luke's over here making tasteless jokes and you're stuffing your face I
你们到底怎么回事？我们的祖母刚刚去世，卢克还在那里说一些毫无品味的笑话，而你却还在狼吞虎咽地吃东西……
Don't know why I thought getting this out would help the first thing I want you to notice here is
不知道自己为什么觉得把这件事说出来会有帮助……不过首先我想让你注意到的是……
How the D sound and I don't know is not a real D sound as in day or done
那个“D”音……其实算不上真正的“D”音（就像“day”或“done”中的那个“D”音一样）。
I mean you can pronounce it with the real D sound but since D here comes between two vowel sounds
我的意思是，你可以用真正的“D”音来发音这个字母，但由于这里的“D”位于两个元音音素之间……
I and O we pronounce it as a flap T a flap T is that sound we hear in butter or water
I”和“O”的发音类似于一个颤音（即“T”音的颤动形式）。这种颤音在我们听到“butter”或“water”这些单词时就能听出来。
The same thing happens here since T
由于 T 的存在，这里也发生了同样的事情。
is between two vowels again in this
在这种情况下，这个音素仍然位于两个元音之间。
situation a and I Remember that you
情况A……我记得你……
usually have more options to say the same thing It usually depends on your intonation or emotion in the moment.
通常，表达同样的意思时有更多的表达方式可供选择。最终的效果往往取决于你当时的语调或情绪。
For example, I can say here What is that or say what is that?
例如，我可以在这里说“那是什么？”（What is that?）。
It definitely changes the meaning and if you don't trust me Next time your partner asks you something try this
这确实会改变句子的含义。如果你不相信我的话，下次你的伴侣再问你什么问题的时候，不妨试试这个方法。
One time answer like this what?
这种一次性的回答……到底是什么意思呢？
I'm sure they'll just repeat what they said, but then try to say what
我敢肯定他们只会重复自己之前说过的话，然后试图再说些什么……
Nana had these little statues of herself made Well,
娜娜让人为自己制作了一些小雕像。嗯……
I see a lot of people struggling
我看到很多人都在苦苦挣扎。
to pronounce these two words here I think the best way for you to think about this is imagine these
要正确发音这两个词，我认为最好的方法是这样想：想象一下这两个词的具体含义或形象。
Is spelled like these T -H -E -Z In this like T -H Maybe no vowel s
它的拼写是 “T-H-E-Z”。其中 “T” 和 “H” 可能不包含元音（即没有字母 “a”、“e” 或 “o” 等）。
I know a lot of books just say that one vowel is longer and the other is shorter
我知道很多书只是简单地说明：其中一个元音的发音时间较长，而另一个元音的发音时间较短。
But I don't want you to think of them as longer and shorter
但我并不希望你们把它们简单地理解为“更长”或“更短”。
Since length can change Depending on how much we're emphasizing a word or emotion or something else
由于单词的强调程度、所表达的情感等因素的不同，单词的实际长度也可能会发生变化。
So think of these two sounds as two different sounds Not the same sound with different length
因此，可以把这两种声音看作是两种不同的声音，而不是同一个声音只是音长不同而已。
Another thing I want you to pay attention here is the word statue
我还想请大家注意的一点是“statue”（雕像）这个词。
Did you notice that we have two different T sounds in this word
你注意到这个单词里有两个不同的“T”发音吗？
The first T sounds like a regular T as in tongue or tell
第一个“T”发音就像普通的“T”音，类似于单词“tongue”或“tell”中的发音。
But the second one sounds more like a CH
不过第二个选项听起来更像是一个“CH”（即“C”和“H”组合的声音）。
Sound as in chuck or chop So if we were to spell this word the way that we pronounce it,
发音类似于 “chuck” 或 “chop”。那么，如果我们按照这个单词的实际发音来拼写它的话……
