So we're talking about syllables today and just in case you're a little unsure about what that means,
今天我们讨论的是音节。如果你对“音节”这个词的含义还不太清楚的话，不用担心……
this is a unit of pronunciation, it includes a vowel sound and often has some surrounding consonant sounds like cat has one syllable.
这是一个发音单位，它包含一个元音音素，通常还伴随着一些辅音音素；例如，“cat”这个词就只有一个音节。
Healthy has two syllables.
Healthy”这个词有两个音节。
Enormous has three syllables and so on but what am I talking about silent syllables for?
Enormous”这个词有三个音节，诸如此类的词也是如此。不过，我为什么要提到“无声的音节”呢？
Let me give you an example of one of the words that I'm talking about.
让我举一个例子，来说明我所说的那个词的具体含义。
How many syllables does it have?
它有多少个音节？
You might have said three and I can't blame you for that at all, it looks like there should be three, right?
你可能会说“应该是三个”，对此我完全不会责怪你——毕竟看起来确实应该是三个，对吧？
But when spoken naturally, native speakers usually reduce the pronunciation of this word down to just two syllables.
不过当这个词以自然的方式被说出来时，母语者通常会将其发音简化为只有两个音节。
Natural.
自然的。
And it's the same with naturally.
对于“自然”这一概念来说，情况也是如此。
Most of my students will pronounce naturally with four syllables right but when a native speaker says this word out loud,
我的大多数学生都能正确地将其读成四个音节的单词；然而，当以该语言为母语的人把这个单词大声读出来时……
usually you'll only hear three syllables, naturally.
通常情况下，你只会听到三个音节（这是很自然的）。
So I can already hear you asking "Emma does this mean that every native speaker always says 'naturally' with three syllables?"
我都能想象到你们会问：“艾玛，这是否意味着所有以该语言为母语的人在说‘naturally’这个词时总是会把它读成三个音节呢？
No but usually we do because it's easier to pronounce fewer syllables and it helps us to speak more quickly so this happens quite a lot.
不，但通常我们还是会这样做，因为发音时音节越少就越容易，而且这样也能让我们说话更快。这种情况其实相当常见。
But the problem is that until you hear a native speaker say this word,
但问题在于：在你听到以该语言为母语的人说出这个词之前，你很难真正理解它的含义。
you can't possibly know about the different types of pronunciation, the spelling doesn't change.
你根本不可能了解各种发音方式；拼写本身是不会发生变化的。
Even if you do hear a native speaker pronounce all of the syllables, the silent ones that we're talking about today are always a reduced syllable,
即使你确实听到了以母语为的人发出所有音节的声音，但我们今天所讨论的那些“无声音节”实际上都属于被省略（或弱化）的音节。
they're very soft, they're very hard to hear even when spoken naturally.
这些声音非常微弱，即使是以自然的方式发音，也很难被听清楚。
So if you want to work on
那么，如果你想在这方面开展工作的话……
