Hello. I'm John Russell.
大家好，我是约翰·罗素。
Some consonant sounds in American English remind me of mathematics-specifically addition.
美式英语中的一些辅音让我想起了数学——特别是加法。
I'll explain.
我来解释一下。
When I was young, I learned how to add numbers.
我小时候学会了加法。
For example, 1+1=2.
例如，1+1=2。
There are consonant sounds that are like this.
也有像这样的辅音。
They are sometimes called affricates.
它们有时被称为破擦音。
Affricates are made up of a stop sound followed by a fricative sound.
破擦音由闭塞音后面跟摩擦音组成。
Another way to say this is stop sound plus fricative sound equals Affricate.
另一种说法是闭塞音加摩擦音等于破擦音。
There are two of these complex consonant sounds in English.
英语中有两个这样的复杂辅音。
They are /chi/ as in chicken and /zhi/ as in judge.(注: 此处音标写法为便于编辑，规范写法见视频)
它们是/chi/比如“chicken”，/zhi/比如“judge”。
Let's explore the /chi/ sound.
我们来探索一下/chi/这个音吧。
It starts with a stop sound as in /t/, and then moves to a fricative sound /sh/.(注: 此处音标写法为便于编辑，规范写法见视频)
它以闭塞音/t/开始，然后转到摩擦音/sh/。
When you add the two sounds together, you get /chi/.
当你把这两个音加在一起时，就得到了/chi/。
Similarly, the /zhi/ sound starts with the stop sound /d/, and then moves to a fricative sound /ri/.
类似地，/zhi/的音以闭塞音/d/开始，然后转到摩擦音/ri/。
These complex consonant sounds are difficult for speakers of many languages.
这些复杂的辅音对许多说其他语言的人来说都很困难。
Vietnamese speakers, for example, might replace an affricate sound such as /chi/ with a fricative sound such as /sh/, (注: 此处音标写法为便于编辑，规范写法见视频)
例如，说越南语的人可能会用摩擦音/sh/代替破擦音/chi/，
the result is that a word like "much" might sound more like "mush".
结果就是“much”读的更像“mush”。
Speakers of other languages might use complex consonant sounds from their own languages while speaking English.
说其他语言的人在说英语时可能会使用自己语言中的复杂辅音。
For example, Korean speakers might use something like a /dz/ sound, a complex consonant sound that does not exist in English.
例如，说韩语的人可能会使用像 /dz/ 这样的发音，这是一个英语中不存在的复杂辅音。
They might use this sound in place of a /z/ sound.
他们可能会用这个声音来代替/z/声音。
The result is that a word such as "zebra" or "zoo", sounds like "dzebra" or "dzoo".
结果就是单词“zebra”,“zoo”听起来像“dzebra”，“dzoo”。
The solution for all of these issues is for you to pay careful attention to complex consonant sounds.
解决所有这些问题的办法是，你要仔细注意复杂的辅音。
Remember, there are only two of them in English.
记住，英语里只有两个这样的复杂辅音。
Time spent mastering these sounds will be of great value to you.
花时间掌握它们的发音对你来说是非常有价值的。
That's all for today.
今天就到这里吧。
Keep up the good work.
继续加油吧。
