1
Hey, what's up?
2
It's Alex.
3
Today I'd like to talk about the connected sounds in a short piece where somebody is apologizing for being late.
4
Let's take a look.
5
Hey, I'm so sorry I'm late.
6
Hey, I'm so sorry I'm late.
7
So hear this word I'm, I'm, I'm so sorry I'm late.
8
If I'm speaking slowly and clearly, you can hear that there's kind of a glottal stop and a strong I sound there.
9
But when we speak a little bit faster, it becomes um, um, hey um, hey um, I'm so sorry,
10
um, hey I'm so sorry I'm late.
11
Hey I'm so sorry I'm late.
12
At the end, at the end of late, we're going to turn the T into a glottal stop.
13
Late, late.
14
There's no T sound there.
15
I took the wrong exit.
16
I took the wrong exit.
17
Just try to connect ng to exit.
18
Wrong exit.
19
Wrong exit.
20
I took 282 instead of 283.
21
I took 282.
22
282. Remember to try to tap that t in 80.
23
282 instead of 283.
24
282 instead of 283.
25
So when we say 80, try to tap that T.
26
It's not a T.
27
It's 80.
28
80. Next, of loses its the here.
29
Instead, instead.
30
Try to connect it to instead.
31
Instead of 283.
32
Then it was all one-way roads for like three miles.
33
Then it was all one-way roads.
34
Then it was all, then it was.
35
We have a glottal stop here for it.
36
Then it was all, was all one-way roads.
37
Now that l sound in all gets reduced actually.
38
The l is not a very strong dark L.
39
You can kind of think of it as a half dark L.
40
My tongue is getting ready to say L but it's not going all the way up to the top of my mouth.
41
What's important though is that my lips aren't rounding.
42
I'm not saying O, I'm saying all, all.
43
It was all, it was all one-way roads.
44
It was all one-way roads for like three miles.
45
We'll change four into fur here for like, for like three miles until I could turn around again and get back on the highway.
46
Until I could turn, could turn.
47
We're going to connect the D in could and the T in turn. Could turn.
48
Until I could turn around again and again and nn, nn, get back.
49
So there's no d there in and.
50
Turn around again and get back on the highway.
51
Get back.
52
We're going to take the t in get and turn it into a glottal stop.
53
Get back on the highway.
54
Get back on the, on the.
55
Connect the n and the th together.
56
Just think about it as the th tongue position is going over the n tongue position on the,
57
my tongue is already between my teeth when I say and, on the highway, and then, same thing here, and then,
58
we take out the d in and, then the n has the th tongue position,
59
and then, and then, and then the traffic started getting backed up, and then the traffic started getting backed up.
60
Started getting, started getting.
61
I connect the D and G here.
62
I get ready to say D, started, started, but instead of finishing the D sound,
63
I just say G instead.
64
Started getting, started getting backed up, backed up, backed up.
65
Now at the end of a sentence it's not necessary to say up with the final P sound.
66
We could just say up, up, and close our mouths without actually releasing that sound.
67
But either one is okay.
68
It's your own preference.
69
I can't believe it took so long.
70
I can't believe.
71
I can't believe.
72
We have a glottal stop here instead of a T in can't.
73
I can't believe.
74
I can't believe it took.
75
It took.
76
Connect T and T together.
77
It took it took so long.
78
I'm never taking that exit again.
79
I'm never taking that exit again. That exit.
80
That exit again.
81
I'm never taking that exit again.
82
So here, I'm never, I'm never, we want to connect the m and n sounds but still have separate sounds.
83
I'm never.
84
So we change to the N halfway through the sound.
85
I'm never taking that exit again, that exit again.
86
Both T's here in that and in exit are tapped.
87
That exit again, that exit again, exit it again, that exit again.
88
Hey, I'm so sorry I'm late.
89
I took the wrong exit.
90
I took 282 instead of 283.
91
Then it was all one-way roads for like three miles until I could turn around again and get back on the highway, and then the traffic started getting backed up.
92
I can't believe it took so long.
93
I'm never taking that exit again.
为何通过此视频练习口语？
在学习英语的过程中，口语练习是至关重要的。通过这段视频，您可以了解一个常见的场景——道歉迟到了，这种情况在日常生活中经常发生。练习这样的对话不仅能提升您的英语口语能力，还能帮助您在类似情境中自信表达。当您跟随视频中的对话时，注意语音连读和语调变化，这可以提高您在实际交流中的反应能力，尤其是在雅思口语练习中将会受益匪浅。
语法和表达的背景
- I'm so sorry I'm late. 此句展示了如何以自然的方式表达道歉。注意这里的连音，原本的“I'm”和“sorry”无缝连接，使得句子听起来更流畅。
- I took the wrong exit. 这个句子展示了如何简单明了地表达错误的决策，非常适合在日常对话中使用。
- Instead of 283. 在这里，"instead"实际连接了前后的词，强调了替代的概念。这样的表达在与人沟通时显得更加地道。
- Until I could turn around again. 这个句子展示了用过去式和情态动词组合来叙述事件的方式，适用于描述过去情况。
常见的发音陷阱
在视频中，有几个发音陷阱可能导致非母语者困惑。比如：
- Late：在快速说话时，字母“T”常常被弱化为喉音停顿，这使得“late”听起来像“lay”，这在英语口语练习中需要特别关注。
- Connected sounds：比如“could turn”，其中“could”和“turn”之间没有明显的停顿，形成了流利的连读。这样的现象在英语口语练习中尤为重要。
- 发音的轻重音变化：看似简单的“all”和“roads”的发音，实际上需要注意声调的变化，避免发错音。
通过模仿视频中的对话，您可以更好地掌握这些发音技巧，提升您的英语口语能力，给您的日常交流加分。记得经常回看这个视频，利用视觉和听觉的双重刺激来提高您的英语水平，同时也可以参与到看YouTube学英语的热潮中，借此实现更有效的语言学习。
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。
