Hi, I'm Vanessa from SpeakEnglishWithVanessa.com.
嗨，我是 Vanessa，来自 SpeakEnglishWithVanessa.com 网站。
Are you ready to exercise your English pronunciation muscles?
你准备好锻炼一下自己的英语发音能力了吗？
Let's do it.
我们开始吧。
Welcome to today's fun English pronunciation lesson.
欢迎来到今天的英语发音趣味课程！
I chose four tongue twisters today that includes sounds that are difficult for English learners.
今天我挑选了四个绕口令，其中包含一些对英语学习者来说难以发准的音素。
A lot of tongue twisters, and a tongue twister is just a sense that's difficult to say, it twists your tongue.
有很多绕口令，而绕口令其实就是那些发音困难、需要反复转动舌头的词语。
A lot of tongue twisters include sounds that are difficult to say in that sentence, but they're not really difficult in daily conversation.
很多绕口令中包含一些在特定句子中难以发出的音素，但在日常对话中这些音素其实并不难发音。
For example, Sally sells seashells by the seashore.
例如，莎莉在海边售卖海贝壳。
This s and sh sounds are difficult in that sentence, but in daily conversation, a lot of English learners don't have difficulties with those sounds.
在那个句子中，“s”和“sh”这两个发音确实比较难发；但在日常对话中，很多英语学习者其实并不会遇到这些发音上的困难。
So today, I chose four plus one
所以今天，我选择了四个再加上一个。
bonus that includes sounds like l, r, vowels, th, and some other sounds that are actually difficult for English learners,
这个“奖励”包含一些发音难度较高的音素，比如字母 l、r、元音、th 以及其他一些对英语学习者来说比较难发的音素。
so I hope that we'll have a little bit of fun together today, but also it will be a practical lesson to help your pronunciation improve.
因此，我希望我们今天能一起度过一段愉快的时光；同时，这也会是一堂实用的课程，帮助你提高发音水平。
Okay.
好的。
Are you ready to warm up those pronunciation muscles and start with the first tongue twister?
你准备好活动一下自己的发音器官，开始练习第一个绕口令了吗？
The first one includes the l, r, and w sounds.
第一个音素包括字母 l、r 和 w 发出的声音。
I'm going to try my best to say these, let's say it.
我会尽最大努力把这些话说出来，就这么说吧。
A loyal warrior will rarely worry why we rule.
一位忠诚的战士很少会去关心我们为何要统治这个世界。
A loyal warrior will rarely worry why we rule.
一位忠诚的战士很少会去思考我们为何要统治这个世界。
So here we have the r sound r, rule, and the l sound, loyal, and the w, warrior.
这里我们看到了字母 “r”（代表单词 “rule”）以及字母 “l”（代表单词 “loyal”），还有字母 “w”（代表单词 “warrior”）。
So your tongue and your lips are really active here.
所以，在这个过程中，你的舌头和嘴唇确实非常活跃（即它们会频繁地移动或做出各种动作）。
You're saying, l, r, w.
你是说，l、r、w。
So it really is an exercise for your lips, for your tongue, for your whole mouth, all of those muscles.
因此，这确实是一项锻炼嘴唇、舌头以及整个口腔（包括所有相关肌肉）的活动。
I'm gonna say this slowly, I want you to try to repeat exactly with me.
我会慢慢地把这句话说出来，希望你能尽量准确地跟着我重复一遍。
Try to repeat it as I say it slowly, and then we're going to speed it up.
试着按照我慢慢说的方式来重复这句话，之后我们再加快语速。
It will probably test my speaking skills as well, but we'll say it together, and I hope that it will help to test you.
这个过程很可能会考验我的口语表达能力，不过我们会一起完成这个任务；我希望这也能对你有所帮助（即帮助你提升自己的口语能力）。
A loyal warrior will rarely worry why we rule.
一位忠诚的战士很少会去思考我们为何要统治这个世界。
A loyal warrior will rarely worry why we rule.
一位忠诚的战士很少会去思考我们为何要统治这个世界。
Are you ready to speed it up?
你准备好加快节奏了吗？
I need to practice myself.
我需要自己多加练习。
Alright, let's say it fast.
好吧，我们干脆快点说吧。
A loyal warrior will rarely worry why we rule.
一位忠诚的战士很少会去思考我们为何要统治这个世界。
A loyal warrior will rarely worry why we rule.
一位忠诚的战士很少会去思考我们为何要统治这个世界。
The thing that's helping me to say this, and it's clearly, is really to say the first letter of each word,
帮助我说出这些话的方法（而且这种方法确实非常有效）就是：只需说出每个单词的第一个字母即可。
almost emphasized.
几乎可以被视作一种强调（即：该内容被特意着重表述）。
A loyal warrior will rarely worry why we rule.
一位忠诚的战士很少会去思考我们为何要统治这个世界。
Even for me, my tongue and my lips are getting a little bit mixed up, but it's a good practice.
即使对我来说，我的舌头和嘴唇在发音时也会有些混淆，但这确实是一种很好的练习方式。
So I hope that you can say this sentence a couple times yourself.
因此，我希望你们能够自己把这个句子重复几遍。
After this lesson is over, try to say it out loud, maybe even record yourself, have a little fun.
这节课结束后，试着大声把这句话说出来；甚至可以录下来听一听，让自己放松一下、享受一下这个过程。
Let's go to the second tongue twister.
让我们来看第二个绕口令吧。
The second tongue twister includes the th sound and the f.
第二个绕口令中包含了字母“th”和“f”的发音。
