This Is Why You Can't Keep Up With Native Speakers · POC English
讲解母语者说话快速的原因，重点分析发音特征如弱读、连读和省略。适合练习听力和模仿真实语境中的口语表达。
Why is it difficult to understand native speakers, even if your English is good?
为什么即使你的英语水平很好，也很难理解以英语为母语的人所说的话呢？
Or when you watch a movie or TV series in English, you don't understand anything without the subtitles?
或者，当你用英语观看电影或电视剧时，如果没有字幕的话，你根本什么都听不懂？
Well, it's because native speakers speak FAST!
嗯，这是因为母语者的说话速度非常快！
No, that's not the reason.
不，那不是原因。
And in my previous video, I explained this.
在我之前的视频中，我已经解释过这个内容了。
It's not about the speed.
这并不关乎速度。
It's about something else native speakers do naturally, and that is, using different pronunciation features.
其实，这指的是母语者会自然而然地做的事情——也就是使用不同的发音方式。
Let me give you an example.
让我给你举个例子。
Look at this sentence, don't you want to come out with us?
看看这句话……你难道不想和我们一起出去吗？
A native speaker would never say, don't you want to come out with us?
以该语言为母语的人绝对不会说：“你难道不想和我们一起出去吗？
But instead, something else would happen.
但是，实际情况却会是另一回事。
Instead of, don't you, a native speaker would naturally say, don't you,
一个以该语言为母语的人自然会说 “Don’t you…”，而不是 “Instead of…”。
don't you.
你才不会呢。
Instead of want to, wanna, and instead of come out, come out.
与其只是想做某事（却迟迟不行动），不如干脆去做；与其只是躲在幕后，不如勇敢地站出来。
So don't you want to come out with us?
那么，你不想和我们一起出去吗？
Yo, Jack, don't you want to come out with us?
杰克，你不想和我们一起出去吗？
Don't you want to come out with us?
你不想和我们一起出去吗？
It's FAST!
速度非常快！
But why is it FAST?
但为什么它的运行速度如此之快呢？
It's FAST because there are pronunciation features.
它的处理速度非常快，这是因为它内置了发音相关的处理功能。
The first one, don't you, becomes don't you, is called assimilation.
第一个过程（即“不要……”这样的转变过程）被称为“同化”。
The second one, want to becomes wanna, that's reduction and weak forms, very important topic.
第二个例子中，“want to”变成了“wanna”——这属于动词的简化形式（即弱变化形式），是一个非常重要的语法话题。
And the third one, come out, becomes come out, connected speech.
第三个例子中，当说话者连续说出多个词语时，这些词语就形成了连贯的、流畅的语流（即所谓的“连读”现象）。
Because of these three reasons, you think native speakers speak FAST.
由于这三个原因，你认为以该语言为母语的人说话速度很快。
But if you learn these different features, and if you train your ears to understand and spot them,
但如果你掌握了这些不同的特征，并且训练自己的耳朵去识别和分辨它们，
then you will have no problem understanding native speakers, or watching movies and TV series without subtitles.
这样一来，你就能轻松理解以母语为交流方式的人所说的话，也能在没有字幕的情况下观看电影和电视剧了。
I introduced these three elements, assimilation, reduction, and connected speech.
我介绍了这三个要素：同化（assimilation）、简化（reduction）以及连读（connected speech）。
In my previous video, if you haven't watched it, watch it now.
在我之前的视频中，如果你还没有看过的话，现在就去看看吧。
But in this video, we're gonna do something more interesting.
不过在这个视频中，我们要做一些更有趣的事情。
In my opinion, the main reason why it's hard to understand native speakers is because of reductions and weak forms.
在我看来，之所以难以理解以该语言为母语的人的讲话，主要原因在于语言中的缩略形式以及那些发音较为弱化的词汇（即发音不清晰或强度较低的词汇）。
That's what we're going to do in this video.
这就是我们在这个视频中要做的内容。
We're gonna have a deep dive into reductions.
我们将深入探讨各种减排措施的具体内容。
And let me tell you something, this video is not going to be one of those videos that you can just watch and don't do anything.
让我告诉你一件事：这个视频绝对不是那种你可以看完后就什么都不做的视频。
No, you have to be active.
不，你必须主动采取行动才行。
And whenever you see this sign, it means it is your turn to repeat.
每当你看到这个标志时，就意味着轮到你重复刚才说过的话了。
So there's a lot of listen and repeat exercises for you.
因此，这里有很多需要你反复聆听和练习的练习题。
You see this sign, you repeat.
当你看到这个标志时，你就需要重复它（即按照标志上的指示或要求去做）。
You don't see it, you listen, okay?
你不需要看，只需要听，明白吗？
That's the rule of this video.
这就是这个视频的规则。
What is reduction?
什么是“还原”（reduction）？
