Hello, I'm John Russell.
大家好，我是约翰·罗素。
Let's explore some of the common issues that Chinese speakers face when pronouncing English words.
让我们来探讨一下一些中国人在读单词的时候经常面临的问题。
Even if you do not speak Chinese you can still learn some important ideas.
即使你不会说中文，你仍然可以学到一些重要的思想。
Chinese refers to a large group of dialects.
汉语包括一大批方言。
Most kinds of Chinese speakers face a common issue when pronouncing English words: having difficulty with /n/ sound at the end of words.
大多数中国人在发英语单词时都面临着一个共同的问题：单词末尾的/n/发音有困难。
/n/ is among the group of sounds called nasals.
/n/是鼻音组里面的一个音。
These sounds are made by creating a blockage in the mouth and letting air escape from the nose.
发鼻音时，通过在嘴里制造一个堵塞，让空气从鼻子里跑出。
Word-final nasal sounds tend to be shorter in Chinese than they are in English.
汉语词尾的鼻音往往比英语短。
The result is that Chinese speakers do not say the nasal sound long enough.
结果就是，中国人发鼻音的时间不够长。
One solution is to practice linking the final /n/ sound of a word with the vowel sound of the next word.
一种解决办法是练习将一个单词的最后的/n/音与下一个单词的元音连读。
Here's an example.
这里有一个例子。
Can I ask you a question?
我能问你个问题吗？
Let's slow it down.
让我们慢一点。
Can I ask you a question?
我能问你个问题吗？
Let's do it faster.
我们读快点。
Can I ask you a question?
我能问你个问题吗？
Now, if the first sound in the following word does not have a vowel sound, your job will be a bit more difficult.
如果后一个单词的开头没有元音，你可能就会发音困难了。
You will have to pay more attention to the final /n/ sound.
你需要更加注意一下最后的/n/音。
Here's an example.
这里有一个例子。
You can't answer my question.
你不能回答我的问题。
Let's slow it down.
我们读慢点。
You can't answer my question. You can't answer my question.
你不能回答我的问题。
That's all for today.
以上就是今天的全部内容。
Keep up the good work.
继续加油吧。
