Hello, I'm Jay, and welcome to Simple English Videos.
大家好,我是杰伊,欢迎来到“简单英语视频”(Simple English Videos)这个频道。
In this video, Gabby and Tom talk about pronunciation difficulties and how to overcome them due to that crazy English spelling.
在这段视频中,加比(Gabby)和汤姆(Tom)讨论了发音方面的困难,以及如何克服这些困难——毕竟英语的拼写系统实在非常复杂、难以理解。
At the end, there's a short quiz where you can test your own pronunciation skills with these tricky English words.
在课程的最后,有一个小测验,你可以通过这个测验来检验自己对这些英语单词的发音能力。
So let's get into it.
那么,让我们开始吧。
Hola, todos.
大家好!
Hello, everyone.
大家好!
Welcome to our language learning journey.
欢迎加入我们的语言学习之旅!
Where we help Spanish speakers navigate their way towards fluency in English.
我们帮助说西班牙语的人提高他们的英语水平,帮助他们达到流利的程度。
And today, we're diving into the tricky world of pronunciation.
今天,我们将深入探讨这个充满挑战的发音领域。
Why is it tricky, Gabby?
为什么这会这么棘手呢,加比?
Because Spanish is phonetic, meaning you say what, how it looks, but English,
因为西班牙语是一种表音语言,也就是说你发音时就是单词的实际发音;而英语则不同……
not so much.
也不完全是那样。
That's true.
确实如此。
True.
确实如此。
What problems do your students have with pronunciation?
你的学生在发音方面遇到了哪些问题?
So many.
太多了。
But today, let's focus on one, the letter E, and Spanish it's always the same.
不过今天,我们先来关注一个字母——E。在西班牙语中,这个字母的发音始终是不变的。
It's the sound of the E in men, but in English it could be pronounced like this.
这个发音类似于英语中字母“E”的发音,但在某些情况下(尤其是在男性发音中),这个音可能会被发成这样的音。
Edit,
编辑:
eat,
吃;进食
ear, enough.
够了,别说了。
And sometimes it's silent, like in this word.
有时候,它也是静默的——就像这个单词一样。
Make.
制作。
Is there anything your students do to remember how to pronounce these different vowel sounds?
你们的学生有没有什么方法可以帮助他们记住这些不同元音的发音?
Well, as you can see from the examples, ear and eat.
嗯,从这些例子中你可以看出,“ear”(耳朵)和“eat”(吃)的发音确实很相似。
Even when the words have the same combination of vowels, they can still produce different sounds.
即使这些单词中的元音组合完全相同,它们仍然可能发出不同的声音。
So instead, I sometimes use rhymes in the classroom to help students remember the vowel sound.
因此,我有时会在课堂上使用押韵的方法来帮助学生记住元音的发音。
Can you give us an example, Tom?
汤姆,你能给我们举个例子吗?
There's a bear on the chair playing solitaire.
有一只熊坐在椅子上玩纸牌游戏(即“单人纸牌游戏”)。
Oh, it's solitaire, the cart game solitaire,
哦,这是纸牌游戏“单人纸牌”(Solitaire),具体来说就是那种需要用“推车”(cart)来移动牌的玩法。
that's a funny image.
那张图片真有趣。
Yes, the more bizarre or peculiar the image, the better.
是的,图像越怪异或奇特,效果就越好。
It makes it easier to remember the rhyme if you can visualise it.
如果你能够将这个押韵的句子形象化(即在脑海中形成一个具体的画面或场景),那么记住它就会更容易。
So that's my first tip.
这就是我的第一个建议。
Use the power of rhyming words to remember the pronunciation of vowel sounds.
利用押韵词的力量来帮助记忆元音发音。
Great, and I know how you can find rhymes to practise with.
太好了,我知道你该如何找到可以用来练习的押韵词。
Search on the internet for Tom Twisters.
在互联网上搜索“Tom Twisters”。
Tom Twisters are short rhymes or poems that are intentionally difficult to pronounce.
Tom Twisters”是一种短小的押韵诗或小诗,其发音设计得故意非常困难(即难以准确读出)。
This makes them a lot of fun to try and say.
这使得尝试念出这些单词变得非常有趣。
If you're a teacher, for example, you can use them to have little competitions or challenges for your students in the classroom.
例如,如果你是一名教师,你可以利用这些工具在课堂上为学生组织一些小型的竞赛或挑战活动。
