Hey, what's up?
2
It's Alex.
3
Today, let's look at the connected sounds in a short passage that involves using statistics in a work conversation.
4
Let's take a look.
5
We've been doing really well recently.
6
Doing really well recently.
7
I could change this to doing if I wanted to.
8
Personally, I prefer to say ing a little bit more than in in most conversations.
9
But when I speak quickly, or if I'm happy or excited about the thing I'm talking about, maybe I'll say doing instead.
10
We've been doing really well recently.
11
We've been doing really well recently.
12
We've been doing really well recently with the new website content. With the. With the.
13
So here the TH sounds connect together into just one. With the.
14
With the new website content.
15
Website content.
16
So here the T sounds here in website and content turn into glottal stops.
17
Website content.
18
The ending T sounds get completely cut off in my throat website content.
19
Take a look at this.
20
Take a.. so here we'll connect the uh to take and look at this.
21
We connect together.
22
So look at this.
23
The T turns into the TH sound in this.
24
Take a look at this.
25
I use this sentence all the time, so I think it's a useful sentence to practice on its own.
26
Take a look at this.
27
Take a look at this.
28
Two or three months ago, two or three months ago, so two or three, we have OR turning into ER, two or three, two or three months ago.
29
In months, we can take out that TH sound completely.
30
Now it's important to learn this word with the full pronunciation, months, because when you're speaking slowly you have to say the THS.
31
But when we speak quickly we all say months here in the US.
32
Months.
33
Two or three months ago, two or three months ago we were averaging about 200 hits a day.
34
Averaging.
35
So that e, a-v-e-r, right, in averaging we take out that e, right?
36
There's no sound there.
37
Averaging.
38
Averaging about.
39
Averaging.
40
We connect that ng to the following uh sound.
41
Averaging about two.
42
Here we connect those two T sounds together. About two.
43
Averaging about 200 hits a day on our blog articles.
44
But that was actually, but that was, here we'll connect the T and TH,
45
and we'll connect the T to the W by turning the T into a glottal stop.
46
Before a W, a T usually turns into a glottal stop.
47
But that was, but that was actually, but that was actually after a downward trend.
48
Actually, we don't say actually, we say actually.
49
But that was actually after a downward trend.
50
Downward trend.
51
The D and the T connect together.
52
Downward trend.
53
So that means, so that means, that means, glottal stop there for the T in that, so that means we were regularly,
54
were regularly, that's a long r sound, we were regularly, we were regularly getting 300 hits a day before that.
55
Before that.
56
Glottal stop there at the end of the sentence.
57
Before that.
58
Now though, check this out.
59
Now though, check this out.
60
Another glottal stop there in out.
61
Check this out.
62
You can see, you can see, these vowels in you and can turn into very, very quick sounds.
63
You can see, you can see, you can see we're up to four up to, up to.
64
Here the two turns into to.
65
You can see we're up to 400 views per day.
66
400 views per day.
67
400 views per day on average this month.
68
So for 400 views per day, this is the main point of my sentence.
69
I'm not going to connect any sounds here.
70
400 views per day.
71
I keep my voice smooth and steady.
72
400 views per day.
73
I'm not adding any glottal stops or breaks in my voice there, but I'm also being very clear with all the consonants and vowels.
74
400 views per day on average. On average.
75
Now I'm connecting those sounds together.
76
On average this month.
77
This month.
78
Of course, month ends in the th sound.
79
There's no s there, so we have to say nth at the end of the word.
80
this month.
81
We've been doing really well recently with the new website content.
82
Take a look at this.
83
Two or three months ago we were averaging about 200 hits a day on our blog articles, but that was actually after a downward trend,
84
so that means we were regularly getting 300 hits a day before that.
85
Now though, check this out.
86
You can see we're up to 400 views per day on average this month.
语境与背景
在这段视频中，讲者Alex讨论了在工作对话中使用统计数据的例子，主要集中于如何自然地连接英语发音中的音素。发音的连贯性对于流利的交流至关重要，尤其是在商业环境中。因此，了解和练习这些连接发音，可以帮助学习者提高他们的口语能力以及在日常交流中的自信心。使用这种“英语影子跟读”方法，学生不仅能提升听力，还能提高发音和流利度。
日常交流的五个常用短语
- We've been doing really well recently.（我们最近做得非常好。）
- Take a look at this.（看这个。）
- Two or three months ago.（两三个月前。）
- Averaging about 200 hits a day.（每天大约有200次点击。）
- But that was actually after a downward trend.（但那实际上是在下降趋势之后。）
这些短语在商务交流中非常实用，适合通过“shadow speak”来进行口语练习，帮助学习者在真实场合中自如表达。
逐步影子跟读指南
如果您想要在学习过程中使用“英语影子跟读”技术，可以按照以下步骤进行：
- 听取短语：首先，反复聆听上述短语。注意每个单词的发音和连接处。
- 模仿发音：当您听到短语时，试着跟着模仿发音。此时要特别注意发音的连接，像“but that was”会变得更快而更流畅。
- 重复练习：多次重复这些短语，直到您能自然流利地说出它们。通过这种“shadowing site”形式的练习，您可以有效提升口语能力。
- 录音对比：在练习过程中，可以录下自己的声音，与原声进行对比，看看自己在发音和流畅性上的差别。
- 持续反馈：向英语母语者请教，获取反馈并根据建议做出改进。
通过以上步骤，您将掌握更自然流畅的英语口语能力，提高雅思口语练习的效果，顺利应对商务交流的挑战。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
