Today we're studying English with news.  We're looking at how people speak so quickly  

今天我們學習的是新聞英語。  我們看一下大家怎麼這麼快就說出來了？

and so smoothly while still being clear. Two news  hosts. One doctor, whose being interviewed and  

並在清晰的同時如此順利。兩個新聞主持人。一位醫生，其正在接受採訪和

to 不定詞

we are going to study their beautiful voices to  find tips that can help you with English fluency.

我們要學習他們優美的聲音，尋找可以幫助你提高英語流利程度的技巧。

Let's start right off with  Gayle King's first sentence.

我們先從蓋爾-金的第一句話說起。

This morning we're looking at increased screen  time during the pandemic is affecting our vision.

今天早上我們就來看看流行病期間增加的螢幕時間對我們的視力有什麼影響。

Increased screen time. So, right  away she's giving us an example  

增加了螢幕時間。所以，馬上她就給我們舉了一個例子。

of one of the main points that Americans do  for smoothness changing T pronunciations. In  

的要點之一，美國人為了順利改變T的發音。在

this case, the ED ending of increased is  a T sound. Increased. Increased, tt.  

這種情況下，ed的ed結尾是T音。increased.increased，tt。

But she said increased screen time with  no T. Listen. I'll slow that down for you.

但她說增加螢幕時間，沒有T，聽。我給你放慢速度。

No T, no ED ending. One of the rules of  pronunciation of T is that we often drop the  

沒有T，沒有ED結尾。T的發音規則之一是，我們經常會把

sound between two other consonants. In this  case, S and S. So the past tense, increased  

音在另外兩個輔音之間。在這種情況下，S和S.所以過去式，增加了

sounds just like the present tense increase  because we dropped the T. And we'll hear T  

聽起來就像現在時態的增加，因為我們去掉了T，我們會聽到T。

pronunciations dropped or changed all the time.  Why? Let's look at the pronunciation of T. T,  

發音一直在下降或改變。  為什麼這麼說呢？我們來看看T.T.的發音。

a stop of air, a release, it's a sharp sound.  But the character of American English has a lot  

一停氣，一放氣，這是一個尖銳的聲音。  但美式英語的特點有很多

of smoothness. No sharp points. We value  linking and smoothness from word to word.  

的光滑度。沒有尖銳的地方。我們重視字與字之間的聯繫和流暢性。  

So by dropping the T here, it's a smoother  link. With the T, increased screen time.  

所以在這裡放棄了T，就能更順暢的鏈接。有了T，增加了螢幕時間。  

Increased screen time. Not that smooth. Let's  drop the T. Increase screen time. More smooth.  

增加了螢幕時間。沒那麼順利。讓我們放下T，增加螢幕時間。更加流暢。  

More sloppy, more lazy, more drunk sounding. Maybe  that's what it feels like to you if your native  

更加的馬虎，更加的懶惰，更加的醉生夢死。也許這就是你的感覺，如果你的母語是什麼？

language is very sharp and clear. Embracing this  sloppiness can help you find your American voice  

語言非常犀利和清晰。擁抱這種馬虎，可以幫助你找到自己的美國聲音。

as you speak English. You know, the rules for how  Americans pronounce ED endings are actually pretty  

因為你說的是英語。你知道，美國人對ED尾音的發音規則其實是非常的

complicated. I'll put a link to the playlist that  covers that topic in the video description. Let's  

複雜。我會在視頻描述中放一個鏈接到涵蓋該主題的播放列表。讓我們

listen to Gayle again. But first, if you like  this video or you're learning something new,  

再聽聽蓋爾的聲音。但首先，如果你喜歡這個視頻，或者你正在學習新的東西。

please like and subscribe with notifications,  continue your studies with me every Tuesday.

請點贊並訂閱通知，每週二與我繼續學習。

No T in increased. Just in time. It's  important that as you study a tip like this,  

沒有T在增加。正好趕上了。重要的是，當你學習這樣的技巧時。

you also practice it. We're going to  play it again. Twice in slow motion,  

你也練習一下吧。我們要再玩一次。兩次慢動作。

say it with her the second time. Then twice at  regular pace, say it her out loud the second time.

第二遍和她一起說。然後以固定的速度說兩遍，第二遍大聲說給她聽。

This morning we're looking at how increased screen time during the pandemic is affecting our vision--

今天早上我們來看看大流行期間增加的螢幕時間是如何影響我們的視力的--。

Since this pandemic first hit the average screen  

自從這種流行病首次登陸普通熒屏後

time per person has spiked more  than thirteen hours a day that's a lot.

每人每天的時間已經飆升到了十三小時以上，這是一個很大。

One of the ways thirteen is  different from thirty is the T.  

Thirteen. That's a true like what Gayle did.

13歲這是一個真實的像蓋爾所做的。

Thirteen. She did first syllable stress,  thirteen. You'll hear it both ways. Thirteen  

十三。她做了第一個音節重音，13。你會聽到它的兩種方式。十三

and thirteen. Thirty always has first  syllable stress and always has a flap T.

和十三。三十總是有第一音節重音，而且總是有一個翻轉的T。

According to Eyesafe Nielsen estimates  of 60 percent of people in one recent  

根據Eyesafe尼爾森的估計，在最近的一次調查中，60%的人。

survey say they were worried about  how this will affect their eyes.

調查表示，他們擔心這會影響他們的眼睛。

Affect their eyes. Looking at the text, what  do you notice about the T in affect? It comes  

影響他們的眼睛。看了這篇課文，你注意到T在影響什麼？它是這樣來的

between two other consonant sounds. The K  sound before it and the TH sound after it.  

在另外兩個輔音之間。前面是K音，後面是TH音。  

The T may have been dropped, was it? Let's listen.

T可能被掉包了，是嗎？讓我們來聽聽。

Affect their. No T. Affect their eyes.  Try that with me. Affect their eyes.  

影響他們的。沒有T，影響他們的眼睛。  嘗試與我。影響他們的眼睛。  

影響他們的眼睛。讓我們繼續前進。

Doctors also say they're seeing uptick in  vision issues like dry eye yup, I got that.  

醫生還說，他們看到乾眼症等視力問題的上升，對，我明白了。  

Doctor Christopher Starr, he  was an ophthalmologist said,  

醫生克里斯托弗-斯塔，他是一名眼科醫生說。

while Cornell medical in,  medicine rather in New York.

而康奈爾醫學在，醫學而是在紐約。

Did you hear how she corrected herself?  She misspoke, she corrected it and then  

你聽到她是如何糾正自己的嗎？  她說錯話了，她糾正了，然後...

she said rather. So the word she meant  wasn't medical rather it was medicine.

她說寧可。所以她說的這個詞不是醫而是藥。

While Cornell medical in,  medicine rather in New York.

雖然康奈爾醫學在，醫學而是在紐約。

Joins us with some solutions and whether he  thinks products like blue-like glasses can help.  

和我們一起探討一些解決方案，以及他是否認為像藍色眼鏡這樣的產品可以幫助我們。  

Good morning to you doctor, good to see you.

Let's talk about that phrase “Good to see you”.  This is a phrase I use quite a lot when I spend  

我們來談談那句 "很高興見到你"。  這句話我經常用，當我花了

times with friends or family. It's so good  to see you. Do you see we have one letter T  

與朋友或家人的時間。見到你真好。你看我們有一個字母T

here in the word “to”? To is a word that reduces  and that means we change a sound. We almost always  

這裡的 "至 "字？To是一個減字，也就是我們換個音。我們幾乎總是

change the vowel to the schwa and sometimes,  we change the true T to a flap T. The flap  

把元音改成分音，有時，我們把真T改成瓣T。

T sounds like the D in American English. The D  between vowels. So here it comes after a D and  

T聽起來像美式英語中的D。元音之間的D。所以這裡它是在D和

guess what? She just attaches the schwa to good.  Goodto, goodto, good to see you. Take a listen.

你猜怎麼著？她只是在 "好 "上加了個 "休 "字。  Goodto, goodto, 很高興見到你.聽聽看

Now since this is a common phrase, let's  practice it. You'll hear it in slow motion twice,  

既然這是一句常見的話，那我們就來練習一下。你會用慢動作聽兩遍。

say it out loud the second time. Sing that song.  

第二次大聲說出來。唱那首歌。  

Good to see you. Then you'll hear it at regular  pace twice, say it with her the second time.

很高興見到你。那你就按正常的節奏聽兩遍，第二遍和她一起說。

I'm alright with my dry eyes sitting up here but a  

我坐在這裡，眼睛乾澀還好，但是... ...

lot of people are looking at  their screens more than ever.

很多人比以往任何時候都要多看螢幕。

A lot of. This three-word phrase is very common.  The T comes between two vowels and pretty much  

很多的。這個三個字的短語很常見。  T出現在兩個元音之間，幾乎是

all the time, a native speaker will make this  a flap T. You won't hear a true T. A lot of,  

所有的時候，一個母語的人都會把這句話說成是翻版T，你不會聽到一個真正的T。很多的。

a lot of. It's a flap T linking,  smoothing things out. A lot of.  

很多的。是瓣T聯動，順勢而為。很多的。  

A lot of. You can say that V sound or not.  A lot of or a lot of. She drops the V,  

很多的。你可以說V音或不。  很多還是很多。她掉了V。

that's a reduction and of is a word that we  usually reduce. A lot of. A lot of. That phrase  

這是一個減少和of是一個詞，我們通常減少。很多的。A lot of.這句話

begins and ends with a schwa. You want  it to be as fast and simple as possible.  

以分音符開始和結束。你希望它儘可能的快速和簡單。  

A, a. A lot of. A lot of. Let's listen  to just that in slow motion a few times.

A，A，很多。很多的。讓我們聽聽就在慢動作中聽幾遍。

現在讓我們以正常的速度來聽聽。

Changing that T, smoothing  out English. Let's keep going.

把那個T改了，把英語磨平了。讓我們繼續前進。

Can you explain why it's such a bad, why  it's bad for your eyesight to begin with?

你能不能解釋一下為什麼會這樣，為什麼一開始就對視力不好？

Yeah, it's multifactorial. We call it the  “Computer Vision Syndrome”. And it uh,  it combines--

是的，這是多因素的，我們稱之為 "計算機視覺綜合症"。我們稱之為 "計算機視覺綜合症" We call it the "Computer Vision Syndrome".而它，呃，它結合了...

It combines. We've studied a drop T, a flap T  and now Dr. Starr is giving us an example of  

它結合了。我們已經研究了一個跌落式T型車，一個翻轉式T型車 現在斯塔爾博士給我們舉了一個例子。

another way we change the T, the true T sound.  It's a stop T. For this we stop the air. It.  

另一種方法我們改變T，真正的T音。  這是一個停止的T，為此我們停止空氣。它。  

But we skipped that T release. Instead,  we're going to the next word. So there's  

但我們跳過了那個T的發佈。相反，我們要去下一個詞。所以這裡是

really a quick stop of air and that's the  stop T. That's not actually a sound rather  

真的是空氣的快速停頓，那是停頓的T，其實那不是聲音，而是

it's an abrupt stop of sound. It combines.  It combines. Let's look back at that stop.  

這是一個突然停止的聲音。它結合了。  它結合了。讓我們回顧一下那個停頓。  

Here, I slowed down the clip to  just twenty five percent and you  

在這裡，我放慢了剪輯，只有25％，你

can see the volume of the voice below.  Let's just listen to this clip once.

可以看到下面的聲音的音量。  我們就聽一次這個片段。

This gap here is the stop T. Let's take just this  part here and listen to it by itself so we can see  

這裡的這個缺口就是停T，我們只把這裡的這部分單獨聽一下，就可以看到

is it really silent, is there  really a stop of air of sound.  

是否真的無聲無息，是否真的有聲音的空氣停止。  

So I've isolated just that  spot let's listen to it.  

所以我把那個地方隔離出來了，我們來聽聽。  

Sort of strange isn't it? It's just the room noise  really. He hasn't really engaged his voice here.  

有點奇怪，不是嗎？這只是房間的噪音，真的。他還沒有真正參與他的聲音在這裡。  

There's another spot over here where we see  something similar and guess what that is. It's  

這裡還有一個地方，我們看到了類似的東西，你猜是什麼。這是...

the B on combines, combines, bb, B is also a  stop consonant. Let's listen to this phrase again.

combines、combins、bb、B上的B也是停頓輔音。我們再來聽聽這句話。

And then a little stop of air, and then the next  word. So, true True T, tt, Flap T, [flap] drop  

然後氣停一下，再下一字。所以，真真T，tt，瓣T，[瓣]落。

T and now stop T. These are our four T  sounds. Let's listen again to this stop.

T，現在是T停，這是我們的四個T音。我們再來聽一下這個停頓。

Actually there's one more kind of  T. Let's see if we can find it.

其實還有一種T，看看能不能找到。

Both eyes strain from just staring at the  computers which are right in front of you.

兩隻眼睛只盯著眼前的電腦，都很緊張。
