5
There are many British accents across the UK, it's a big place.
英国各地有很多不同的英式口音,毕竟这是个很大的地方。
6
But today I'm going to be focusing on the accent that I speak with, which is called Modern Received Pronunciation.
但今天我要重点讲的是我说话的口音,它叫做现代标准发音(Modern Received Pronunciation)。
7
And the reason for that is it's my expertise because it's my accent, so I can teach it very easily.
原因在于这是我的专长,因为这是我的口音,所以我教起来非常轻松。
8
So if you're interested in learning an accent that sounds a little bit like mine Keep watching.
所以如果你想学习一种听起来和我口音有点像的发音,就继续看下去吧。
9
Is that the time?
都这个点了?
10
We should start.
我们该开始了。
11
The alphabet O.
字母O。
12
I call it the alphabet O because guess what?
我把它叫做字母O,因为你猜怎么着?
13
It sounds like the letter O.
听起来像字母O。
14
So the sound we're looking for in our British accent is Oh.
所以我们要在英式口音中找到的发音是Oh。
15
Oh the vowel sounds are so integral, you can actually change your entire accent if you can master the vowel sounds.
元音发音真的非常关键,如果你能掌握元音的发音,完全可以改变你的整个口音。
16
So let's focus on the alphabet O.
那么我们来重点看字母O。
17
The rose grows.
玫瑰在生长。
18
like the river flows.
就像河流奔流不息。
19
Can you hear that "oh oh oh oh"?
你能听到那“哦哦哦哦”的声音吗?
20
This is the music of the modern RP accent.
这是现代标准英音的音乐。
21
How do we make this sound?
我们该怎么让它发出声音?
22
Not a very wide mouth.
嘴巴不算很大。
23
You can't make this sound if you open your mouth, loads.
如果你张开嘴,就发不出这个音了,要把嘴闭紧。
24
Actually you'll probably notice that British people don't tend to open their mouth a lot when they're speaking.
实际上,你可能会注意到英国人说话的时候通常不会把嘴张得很大。
25
I guess we're not that expressive because we keep everything quite understated and quite subtle, including the shape of our mouth when we talk.
我想我们之所以不那么善于表达,是因为我们总是保持着相当内敛、相当含蓄的状态,包括说话时的口型也不会有太大变化。
26
You need to purse your lips in order to do this, which is like that.
要做这个动作,你得像那样把嘴唇噘起来。
27
O O.
28
You need to really make it sound like that letter O.
你得让它听起来真的像字母O的发音。
29
Even if you feel like you're exaggerating that sound, Don't worry, it sounds great to my ear.
即使你觉得自己把声音调得太大了,也别担心,我听起来感觉很棒。
30
It sounds exactly how it should sound.
31
Trust me, if you master this, you can really sound a lot more British.
32
Because this sound comes in so many little words that make up sentences.
33
You know, like the little words that come very very often in speech, like "no".
34
and sew and even "Hello !" There's also DON'T show and go.
35
So remember the mouth shouldn't be too open, it should be quite a gentle sound, not too loud.
36
O Oh, and come on guys, shadow me.
37
I think that's what you're supposed to say, is it shadow me?
38
Or just talk at the same time as me right now?
39
Show me how to grow a rose.
40
Show me how to grow a rose.
41
You don't have to show me, I already know.
42
So as long as you can hear that O O O sound repeating
43
I bet you've got it right and I bet you sound amazing.
44
Here are some absolutely beautiful words that you can practice along with me and just enjoy saying.
45
Number one: Bungalow Bungalow.
46
Number two.
47
Rainbow.
48
rainbow rainbow Don't you just love rainbows?
49
Number three Shadow Shadow.
50
I love that word.
51
It's so mysterious.
52
So everyone, try to master your alphabet O's to sound a little bit more British.
53
The reason it's sometimes called the long O is that you need to take your time on this sound, okay?
54
Don't rush it, because if you say it too quickly, it's not going to sound how it's supposed to sound.
55
Let's move on to secret number two.
56
Intonation So the way that we pronounce words in the modern RP accent has a kind of tune to it.
57
There's a musicality.
58
Usually in the middle of the word it goes up and down again.
59
and that creates a kind of song inside the word.
60
Today I'm going to show you the musicality of three syllable words.
61
This doesn't always happen with all three syllable words so I will show you some exceptions, but I'm going to give you quite a long list of words where it does happen.
62
for example take the word fantastic fantastic the reason people like the way
63
that that sounds is because it it has feeling doesn't it it has soul you can hear
64
that there's something going on in that word it's not just Fantastic fantastic.
65
That would be more monotone.
66
monotone.
67
There's that alphabet O.
68
Monotone.
69
But no, we don't want monotone.
70
We want music.
71
It's got emotion, it's got a human element to it.
72
And if you were to look at the psychology of why people like the modern RP or the British accent, it's quite an interesting area of study.
73
I think you'll find that it's all related to trust and authenticity.
74
Fantastic!
75
just sounds like it's got some integrity to it, some sincerity So very often with three syllable words,
76
the second syllable is stressed so that you have a pattern that's Unstressed?
77
Stressed?
78
Unstressed.
79
fantastic Even the word tomato sounds more interesting, right?
80
Tomato!
81
Somehow, because it's longer, there's more focus on it.
82
It sort of shines out more than it would if it was just monotone.
83
Here are some more words that you can read out loud and practice with.
84
Consistent.
85
Consistent volcanic Volcanic Diminish.
86
diminish.
87
I feel like a conductor right now.
88
Astonish?
89
astonish.
90
And now guys, the exceptions.
91
I'm sorry.
92
Maximum This word has three syllables and of course The first syllable is stressed: maximum.
93
Now, my theory on that word is that we kind of want to stress the max part, because it's kind of an exaggerating word, isn't it?
94
Maximum.
95
You kind of want to use it quite strongly, so sometimes the first syllable is stressed when we really want maximum effect on the meaning of a word.
96
Capital.
97
The capital of the UK is London.
98
Again, capital.
99
We are stressing that first syllable, maybe because it's such an important word, right?
100
The capital, that means the most important city in the UK, in the country.
101
I've got one more example that does follow the rule.
102
Banana.
103
Now bananas are not very serious things so you know maybe there's a rule
104
that we stress the second syllable on unimportant words or words that are not needed for effect like banana So,
105
in conclusion, in order to sound more British, make sure you have some intonation happening in your accent.
106
Don't speak with a monotone voice if you can avoid it.
107
There are little tips and tricks that you can learn, because what you're trying to achieve is a bit of animation in your voice, a bit of zest, a bit of sparkle,
108
which will make you sound more interesting, more engaging, generally.
109
There's just one thing I want to talk about before we finish, and that is to do with the language that you're actually using.
110
This is not so much about accent, this is about what you choose to use.
111
You just need to make sure if you want British accent, you need to use the words that belong to British English, rather than American English.
112
So in American they say pants, We say trousers.
113
trousers, like jeans or something like that We call them trousers.
114
We say rubbish.
115
rubbish They say trash.
116
Trash.
117
We say pavement as in you walk on the pavement at the side of the road, they say sidewalk.
118
I love that one.
119
sidewalk.
120
They say closet.
121
We say wardrobe.
122
wardrobe.
123
We say crisps Lovely, lovely salty crisps.
124
And they say, chips.
125
Chips.
126
Chips for us is a completely different thing, like fish and chips, That's what a chip is to us.
127
Here's an alphabet O for you guys. So far.
128
We say sofa.
129
They say couch couch.
130
One more, they say fall and we say autumn but you probably know that one.
131
Well guys, It's the end of the video, I really enjoyed that one.
132
You know I love teaching pronunciation.
133
I'm quite a musical person, I love to play the piano, so pronunciation just feels so great and so natural to me.
134
Thank you to all my lovely loyal subscribers for sticking with me through my experimental phase of trying out new videos.
135
I'm going to be making a lot more videos on daily English
136
and pronunciation because I think those are the areas that help you guys the most.

本节课内容概述
本节课将聚焦英式发音中的关键元音“O”,通过学习现代标准英式发音(Modern Received Pronunciation)的发音技巧,帮助学习者提升英语发音,听起来更像英国人。课程还会结合影子跟读练习,让学习者在实践中掌握要领。
核心词汇与短语
- Modern Received Pronunciation(现代标准英式发音)
- purse your lips(噘起嘴唇)
- bungalow(平房)
- rainbow(彩虹)
- shadow(影子;跟读)
- Hello(你好)
- don't(不要)
练习技巧
要练好英式发音,影子跟读(shadow speech)是关键。视频中凯瑟琳的语速适中,语气温和,非常适合初学者。练习时需注意以下几点:首先,控制口型,不要张得太大,轻轻噘起嘴唇发出“O”的音,即使觉得夸张也没关系,这正是英式发音的特点。其次,紧跟视频节奏,进行英语影子跟读,尽可能同步重复她的每一个单词和短语,比如“Show me how to grow a rose”。最后,多练习包含“O”音的单词,如“bungalow”“rainbow”等,感受发音的连贯性。
通过持续使用影子跟读网站(shadowing site)进行练习,结合本节课的技巧,你的英语发音将得到显著提高。记住,每天坚持10-15分钟的影子跟读(shadowspeak),效果会比长时间突击练习更好。
视频中的语法
说话人最常用的结构,并附上视频中的原话:
| 结构 | 视频中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么,而不是谁做的 | is called · are not needed |
| 定语从句 who / which + 从句 — 补充说明人或事物 | with, which is · this, which is |
| 动词 + -ing enjoy、keep、stop… + -ing — 后接 -ing 形式的动词 | Keep watching · enjoy saying · love teaching |
| 用 “should” 提建议 should + 动词 — 表示应该做的事 | should start · shouldn't be |
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。
