音标短元音发音窍门

Well hey there this is Emma from mmmEnglish, coming at you with another natural English pronunciation lesson.

Now for English learners who want to sound natural, vowels cause headaches.

大家好，我是Emma，欢迎来到Emma的美味英语，我们又来到另外一节英语发音课程啦。对于想要让自己听起来更加自然的英语学习者来说，元音可是个令人头痛的问题。

With just five vowel letters in the English alphabet, there are twenty different vowel sounds used in spoken English.

So today I want to focus on three of the most common diphthong vowel sounds.

英语字母表只有五个元音字母，但是口语里面却有二十种不同的元音发音。今天，我会侧重于三个最常见的长元音发音。

/eɪ/ as in 'say', /ɔɪ/ as in 'boy' and /aɪ/ as in 'bike'.

And if you're wondering what the heck a diphthong is, don't go anywhere, I'll explain it all for you in just a sec.

‘say’里面的/eɪ/，‘boy’里面的/ɔɪ/，以及‘bike’里面的/aɪ/。如果你们还在想长元音到底是个什么东西的话，哪儿都不用去，我马上就会给大家解释的。

. . . . . . Before we get started today, a quick reminder to turn on the subtitles just down there if you need to and if you feel like being an absolute champion today, help me to translate this video into your native language so that other people in your country can learn and watch it too.

在我们正式开始之前，提醒大家一下，如果需要的话你们可以打开下方的字幕，如果你们觉得今天已经胜券在握了的话，那就帮助我把这个视频翻译成你们的母语吧，这样你们国家的其他人也可以一起学习一起观看了。

那真的就太赞了，当然不用说，这对你们而言也是非常好的英语锻炼。

That would be truly spectacular and not to mention, really great English practice for you. So what the heck is a diphthong?

那长元音到底是个什么鬼呢？这个单词很复杂，你们本身可能并不需要使用这个词，但是长元音是元音的一种，有两种原因，短元音，就像是/æ/, /e/, /ɪ/, /ɒ/, /u:/这一些。

It's a complicated word that you will probably never really need to use yourself but a diphthong is a type of vowel sound and there are two types of vowels, monophthong, that's like /æ/, /e/, /ɪ/, /ɒ/, /u: /. They're short and singular sounds.

它们都是很短的单个的音。但是长元音有点点不同，因为它们是一个元音，但是其实是两个元音结合成一个音。

But diphthongs are a little different because they are a single vowel sound that actually combines two vowel sounds together in the same syllable.

In diphthongs, the first sound is stronger than the second one but it's important that both sounds are made together in the same syllable.

在长元音中，第一个音比第二个音更强，但是重要的是，两个音是出现在同一个音节里面。

那这为什么对你们很重要呢，那是因为你们其中的很多人都是意大利人，希腊人，泰国人，西班牙人，或者是越南人，你们的母语里面并没有这种元音，所以这对于你们来说是全新的需要学习的音。

Now the reason why this is important for you is because many of you are Italian, Greek, Thai, Spanish, Vietnamese and you don't actually have this type of vowel sound in your native language so it's a completely new sound that you need to learn.

And for that reason, it's really common for many of you to mispronounce diphthongs and only use the first sound.

所以呢，你们其中的很多人会把长元音读错，只读第一个音是很常见的。如果你们只使用一个音的话，那你们发的元音就是错的，但是这就是你们为什么要看这节课程的原因，对吧？

So if you're only using one sound, then the vowel sound that you're making is wrong but that's exactly what you're doing here, right?

We're gonna practise diphthong sounds together and we'll focus on three of the most common ones.

我们要一起练习长元音，我们会侧重于其中三个最常见的。英式和澳大利亚英语里面有八个长元音，美式英语里面只有五个，但是我们今天的课程都会练习到。

Now there's actually eight diphthongs in British and Australian English, there's only five in American English, but we're going to practise them together in this lesson today.

Let's start with /eɪ/, like in 'say'.

让我们以/eɪ/开始吧，就像是在‘say’里面一样。这个音是/e/和/ɪ/拼起来的，就是‘egg’里面的/e/音和‘sheep’里面的/ɪ/音。

Now this sound is made with the /e/ and /ɪ/ the vowel sound pushed together so it's /e/ as in 'egg' and the /ɪ/ as in 'sheep' vowel sounds.

Now check it out, notice how my mouth moves between those two sounds, /e/, /ɪ/, /e/, /ɪ/.

注意看一下，我的嘴巴在两个音之间滑动，/e/, /ɪ/, /e/, /ɪ/。当你们发长元音的时候，发这个音的时候嘴巴需要移动。

So when you're making a diphthong sound, your mouth needs to move while you are making this sound. For this one, it's /e/, /ɪ/, /eɪ/, /eɪ/.

这个呢，是/e/, /ɪ/, /eɪ/, /eɪ/。对吧？

Right? Are you ready to practise together?

你们准备好一起练习了吗？一天。

Day. Play.

玩耍。来。

Came. Take.

拿。直的。

Straight. Complain.

抱怨。翻译。

Translation. Imagination.

想象。准备好了吗？

Ready for this? It's a shame I'm not able to name everyone on the plane.

没办法叫出飞机上所有人的名字太丢脸了。没办法叫出飞机上所有人的名字太丢脸了。

It's a shame I'm not able to name everyone on the plane. It's a shame I'm not able to name everyone on the plane.

没办法叫出飞机上所有人的名字太丢脸了。让我们来试一下‘boy’里面的/ɔɪ/吧。

Let's try /ɔɪ/ as in 'boy'. Now this sound is made from the /ɔ/ and /ɪ/ vowel sounds like /ɔ/ in 'bought', and /ɪ/ like in 'sheep'.

这个音是/ɔ/ 和 /ɪ/组合起来的，是‘bought’里面的/ɔ/和‘sheep’里面的/ɪ/。/ɔ/, /ɪ/, /ɔ/, /ɪ/，比如说‘boy’。

/ɔ/, /ɪ/, /ɔ/, /ɪ/ like in 'boy'. Again, notice how quickly my mouth moves between these sounds.

同样的，看看我的嘴巴在发这两个音的时候移动得多快。/ɔ/, /ɪ/, /ɔ/, /ɪ/, /ɔɪ/, /ɔɪ/, /ɔɪ/，成了一个音。

/ɔ/, /ɪ/, /ɔ/, /ɪ/, /ɔɪ/, /ɔɪ/, /ɔɪ/ to make one sound. The diphthong sound, /ɔɪ/.

长元音，/ɔɪ/。和我一起练习吧。

Practise with me. Toy.

玩具。雇佣。

Employ. Noise.

噪音。参加。

Join. Avoid.

避免。使恼怒。

Annoy. Oil.

油。好的，让我们一起试一试这句吧。

Alright, let's try this one together. Avoid those annoying boys and their noisy toys.

远离那些烦人的男孩和他们吵闹的玩具。远离那些烦人的男孩和他们吵闹的玩具。

Avoid those annoying boys and their noisy toys. Avoid those annoying boys and their noisy toys.

远离那些烦人的男孩和他们吵闹的玩具。好的，第三个，‘bike’里面的/aɪ/。

Okay number three /aɪ/ like in 'bike'. Now this sound is the /æ/ and the /ɪ/ vowel sounds together.

这个音是/æ/和/ɪ/ 组合的。‘cat’里面的/æ/音。

/æ/ like 'cat'. Ready? /æ/, /ɪ/, /aɪ/, /aɪ/.

准备好了吗？/æ/, /ɪ/, /aɪ/, /aɪ/。同样的，注意你们的嘴巴在把这两个音挤成一个音的时候移动得有多快。

So again, notice how quickly your mouth moves to make that sound squish together into one sound. Two sounds into one sound, /æ/, /ɪ/, /aɪ/, /aɪ/, /aɪ/, /aɪ/.

两个音连成了一个音，/æ/, /ɪ/, /aɪ/, /aɪ/, /aɪ/, /aɪ/。

Practise with me.

和我一起练习吧。

Hike.

远足。眼睛。

Eye. Child.

儿童。风格。

Style. Spy.

间谍。自行车。

Cycle. Inspire.

激励。需要。

Require. Admire.

爱慕。高兴。

Delight. So all together now, let's go.

现在所有的都整合到一起，让我们开始吧。这个孩子非常高兴地喜欢这个自行车手。

The child admired the cyclist in delight. The child admired the cyclist in delight.

这个孩子非常高兴地喜欢这个自行车手。这个孩子非常高兴地喜欢这个自行车手。

The child admired the cyclist in delight. Great stuff!

真棒！现在你们的嘴巴已经热身完毕，准备好练习了，我们要更进一步，好吗？

So now that your mouth is warmed up and ready to practise, we're going to step things up a bit, okay?

The next sentences that you see are going to be combinations of those sounds so I want you to watch and listen and then repeat.

接下来你们看到的句子是这些音的结合，所以我希望你们好好看好好听，然后跟读。不要把我在这里晾着，好吗？这是你们的练习，不是我的练习。

Don't leave me hanging, all right? This is practice for you, not for me. First one.

第一个。孩提时期，我经常骑自行车出去玩一整天。

As a child, I used to ride my bike and play outside all day. As a child, I used to ride my bike and play outside all day.

孩提时期，我经常骑自行车出去玩一整天。他们说她的风格是她充满野性的想象力所激发的。

They say her style is inspired by her wild imagination. They say her style is inspired by her wild imagination.

他们说她的风格是她充满野性的想象力所激发的。我们不能避免疯狂的天气，所以我们待在家里欣赏大雨了。

We couldn't avoid the crazy weather, so we stayed inside and admired the rain. We couldn't avoid the crazy weather, so we stayed inside and admired the rain.

我们不能避免疯狂的天气，所以我们待在家里欣赏大雨了。又是一场锻炼！你们真棒！

What a workout! Nice work to you! Your tongue and your mouth must be feeling a little exhausted after all of that so if you feel like you need to take a little break, fine, but make sure you come back to this lesson tomorrow and the next day and practise again and again.

锻炼完之后，你们的舌头和嘴巴肯定有点点精疲力竭了，如果你们感觉自己需要休息一下的话，没事的，但是明天啊后天啊一定要回来这节课程，再次进行反复练习。就像在健身房做仰卧起坐或者是俯卧撑一样。

It's just like doing sit-ups or push-ups at the gym. Each time you do it, it will get a little easier and then you'll start making these sounds more naturally yourself as you speak.

每次做都会更简单一点，然后你们就会开始在自己说的时候听起来更加自然。我希望大家喜欢这节课程。如果你们喜欢的话，请为我点个赞，在下面给我留言吧。
