Hello.

嗨！

My name is Emma, and in today&39;s video, I am going to teach you about some pronunciation mistakes that you&39;re probably making.

我叫艾玛，在今天的视频中，我将教你一些你可能会犯的发音错误。

So, if you look beside me, I have a bunch of words.

所以，看我的身后，这里有一堆词。

These are some of the most commonly mispronounced words in English by English. . .

这些是英语中一些最经常发错的单词，对英语……

By students who are learning English.

对学习英语的学生来说。

So today, I&39;m going to teach you how we actually pronounce these words.

所以今天，我将教你们这些单词到底怎样发音。

So, the title of this video is &34; Silent Syllables&34; .

所以这个视频的标题为“不发音音节”。

All of these words have a silent syllable in them.

这些单词都有不发音音节。

Now, you may be wondering: &34; What is a syllable? &34; . Well, a syllable is usually a vowel sound, sometimes it can also be a consonant-vowel sound.

现在，你可能想知道：“什么是音节？”好吧，音节通常是一个元音声，有时是辅音-元音声。

So, if that&39;s a little bit confusing, let&39;s look at some examples.

所以如果它有点难理解的话，让我们看看一些例子。

Here is the word &34; cat&34; .

这里有个词：“cat”。

It has one syllable.

它只有一个元音。

If I clap my hand, &34; cat&34; . Okay?

如果我拍一下掌，“cat”。懂了吗？

Now, compare this to the word &34; student&34; , which has two syllables.

现在，拿这个词，两个音节的“student”作比较。

Compare this to the word &34; beautiful&34; , which has three, and we have here the word &34; incredible&34; which has four.

看看这个词“beautiful”，它有三个音节，这里还有个词“incredible”，它有四个音节。

Okay?

理解了吗？

So each of these has a different number of syllables.

所以这些词都有不同数量的音节。

You&39;ll also notice that the length of the word is different.

你一定也注意到了这些单词的长度也不同。

&34; Incredible&34; is longer than &34; beautiful&34; , &34; beautiful&34; is longer than &34; student&34; , and &34; student&34; is longer than &34; cat&34; .

“Incredible”，比“beautiful”长，“beautiful”比“student”长，而“student”比“cat”长。

Okay?

看出来了吗？

So, a silent syllable is a syllable that people believe we&39;re supposed to pronounce, but we don&39;t actually pronounce it.

所以，一个不发音音节就是人们认为他们发音了，但是我们实际上没有发音的音节。

Let&39;s start with this one, because this is the most common mistake I hear in my classrooms.

让我们从这个开始，因为这是我在课堂上听到的犯的最普遍的错误。

Many students pronounce this word as &34; com-for-ta-ble&34; , they believe it has four syllables.

许多学生这么发这个词“com-for-ta-ble”，他们认为它有四个音节。

This is not true.

这是错的。

I want you to listen carefully to how I pronounce this word: &34; comfterble&34; , &34; comfortable&34; .

我希望你仔细听我是怎么发的：“comfterble”;“comfortable”。

How many syllables did you hear?

你听到了几个音节？

&34; Comfortable&34; .

“Comfortable”

If you said three syllables, you are correct.

如果你说听到了三个，那你答对了。

So we do not pronounce &34; com-for-ta-ble&34; , mm-mm, we say: &34; comfterble&34; .

所以我们不发“com-for-ta-ble”，嗯，我们发：“comfterble”。

Okay? So if I wrote this how it&39;s almost pronounced, it almost looks like: &34; comfterble&34; .

理解了吗？所以如果我写下它是怎么发的，它看起来就像：comfterble。

Okay?

明白了吗？

The next word that I hear a lot of students making a mistake with. . .

下一个词我听到很多学生发错……

This is one of my favourite types of food, I hear a lot of students say: &34; choc-o-late&34; , where they pronounce this &34; o&34; .

这是我最喜欢的食物之一，我听到许多学生说：“choc-o-late”,他们发出了“o”。

In English, we don&39;t pronounce that.

在英语中，我们不那么发音。

We usually say. . .

我们通常说……

So we don&39;t say &34; choc-o-late&34; , which is three syllables;

我们不说“choc-o-late”，有三个音节；

we actually say: &34; choclate&34; , &34; chocolate&34; , &34; chocolate&34; .

我们实际说“choclate”，“choclate”，“choclate”。

How many syllables does that have?

它有几个音节？

If you said two, you are correct.

如果你说两个，那你对了。

It&39;s almost like this &34; o&34; doesn&39;t exist.

这看起来就像“o”不存在。

So I want you to repeat after me: &34; chocolate&34; , &34; comfortable&34; .

所以我希望你跟着我说：“chocolate”，“comfortable”。

Okay, good. Now, the next sound, er. . . the next word many students mispronounce is this one.

好，真棒。现在，下一个音，呃……下一个单词，许多同学会发错，是这个词。

First off, they often miss. . . mispronounce the &34; v&34; sound, which is &34; veg&34; , &34; vegetable&34; .

他们经常丢掉……错发“v”音，是“veg”，“vegetable”。

Many students say: &34; veg-e-ta-ble&34; .

许多学生说：veg-e-ta-ble。

Okay?

对吗？

So many students think it has four. . . four syllables, but in fact, it doesn&39;t.

所以许多学生认为它有四个……四个音节，但实际上，它没有。

Tell me: How many sounds does this have: &34; vegetable&34; , &34; vegetable&34; ?

告诉我：这有几个音节？“vegetable”，“vegetable”？

It has three.

有三个。

Okay?

好吗？

So I&39;m gonna actually going to start writing this.

所以我实际上打算这么写。

&34; Comfortable&34; has two, &34; chocolate&34; has two.

Comfortable”有两个音节，“chocolate”有两个音节。

&34; Comfortable&34; . . . Sorry, &34; comfortable&34; has three.

“Comfortable”……对不起，“Comfortable”有三个音节。

Okay?

对吗？

&34; Vegetable&34; has three.

“Vegetable”有三个。

The next word is another word a lot of students make a mistake with, similar to &34; chocolate&34; , we have here an &34; o&34; .

下一个是另一个许多学生会读错的词，和“chocolate”相似，这里我们有个“o”。

We don&39;t pronounce this &34; o&34; .

我们不发这个“o”，

Okay?

对吗？

So many students say &34; brocc-o-li&34; , but we don&39;t say &34; broccoli&34; , we say: &34; broccli&34; .

所以许多学生发“brocc-o-li”但我们不发“broccoli”，我们发“broccli”。

Okay?

懂吗？

So, in this case, it only has two syllables: &34; brocc-li&34; .

所以，在这种情况下，它只有两个音节。“brocc-li”。

Okay. And we will go over these one more time at the end of the video.

好的。这个视频的结尾我们会再一次回顾这些单词。

Okay, very common word here, how many syllables do you think it has?

好了，这是一个很普通的词，你认为它有几个音节？

If you said: &34; in-trest-ing&34; , you are correct, it has three syllables.

如果你说：“in-trest-ing”，你答对了，它有三个音节。

Many students say: &34; in-ter-est-ing&34; .

许多学生说：in-ter-est-ing，

&34; That is very interesting.&34; We don&39;t say it like that. We say:

那很有趣，我们不那样说。我们说：

&34; in-trest-ing&34; .

in-trest-ing。

Okay? &34; In-trest-ing&34; , so this one has three syllables also. &34; In-trest-ing&34; .

好吗？“in-trest-ing”，所以这个词也有三个音节，“in-trest-ing”。

Okay, another very common word. . .

好，另一个常见的词……

Okay, I&39;ve used the Canadian/British spelling.

好了，我用的是加/英式拼写。

If you&39;re an American or an. . .

如果你是个美国人或……

A speaker of American English, there will be no &34; u&34; here.

一个说美式英语的人，这里是没有“u”的。

How many syllables do you think this word has?

你觉得这个单词里有几个音节？

Okay? Let&39;s say it together: &34; Favourite&34; , &34; favourite&34; .

怎么样？让我们一起说：“Favourite”，“Favourite”。

How many did you hear?

你听到了几个？如果你说：“fav-rite”。

If you said: &34; fav-rite&34; , and you heard two syllables, you are correct.

那你听到了两个，你答对了。

We do not say: &34; fav-our-ite&34; , mm-mm, we say: &34; fav-rite&34; .

我们不说：“fav-our-ite”，嗯嗯，我们说&34;fav-rite&34;。

Okay.

好的。

Okay, here&39;s another one a lot of students make mistakes with, many students will say: &34; temp-er-a-ture&34; , but we don&39;t say it this way.

好了，这是让又一个许多学生犯错的词，很多学生会说：“temp-er-a-ture”，但是我们不这么说。

I want you to listen carefully, and choose: How many syllables are there in this word?

我希望你仔细听，并选择：这个单词里有几个音节？

&34; Tem-pra-ture&34; , &34; temperature&34; . &34; Tem-pra-ture&34; .

“Tem-pra-ture”,“temperature”。&34;Tem-pra-ture&34;。

Okay, so there are three syllables in this one.

好，所以这个词里有三个音节。

Okay? We have this word. . .

懂了吗？我们这里有个单词……

Again, these are all very common words.

再提一下，这些都是很普通的词。

Eh. . . A lot of students will say: &34; ev-er-y-one&34; .

嗯……许多学生会说：&34;ev-er-y-one&34;。

They think it has four syllables.

他们认为这有四个音节。

Now, I want you to listen to me and tell me: How many syllables do you hear?

现在，我希望你听我发音并告诉我：你听到了几个音节？

&34; Ev-ry-one&34; , &34; everyone&34; , &34; ev-ry-one&34; .

“Ev-ry-one”,“everyone”,“ev-ry-one”。

If you said three, you are correct.

如果你说三个，那你答对了。

Okay. And finally, we have two more.

好的。那么最后，还有两个单词。

A lot of students will say this as: &34; nat-ur-all-y&34; , but we don&39;t pronounce it that way.

许多学生会这么发：“nat-ur-all-y”，但是我们不这么发音。

Listen carefully to how I say it. &34; Nat-ral-ly&34; , &34; naturally&34; , &34; naturally&34; , &34; nat-ral-ly&34; .

仔细听我怎么发的。“Nat-ral-ly”，“naturally”，“naturally”，“nat-ral-ly”，

It has three syllables.

它有三个音节。

And the last one, similar to &34; chocolate&34; , many students say: &34; soph-o-more&34; , but it&39;s not. &34; Soph-more&34; , &34; sophomore&34; .

最后一个，和chocolate很像，许多学生发“soph-o-more”，但不对。“Soph-more”,&34;sophomore&34;。

So it&39;s almost like this &34; o&34; , we don&39;t pronounce. It&39;s a silent sound.

所以它几乎就像这个“o”我们不发音。 它是个不发音音节。

&34; Sophomore&34; . It has two syllables.

“sophomore”。有两个音节。

Okay, so let&39;s do this very slowly.

好了，让我们慢慢来。

I want you to repeat each of these words after me.

我希望你跟着我重复这些单词。

And you can say it slow, and then start making it a little bit faster.
