Hello. I'm John Russell.
大家好，我是约翰·罗素。
Today I would like to introduce you to a letter in American English that is like a comic book character.
今天我想给大家介绍一个美式英语里面的字母，它就像一本漫画书中的人物。
Much like Peter Parker changes into Spiderman in certain situations.
就像彼得·帕克在特定情况下会变成蜘蛛侠一样。
So too does the letter "t" change in certain situations.
字母“t”在某些情况下也会发生变化。
Consider the name Peter.
想一下Peter这个名字。
I pronounced the "t" in the middle of the name more like a /d/ sound. Peter
我把这个名字中间的“t”发成/d/的音。
In general, when a "t" is between two vowels, Americans often pronounce it like a fast /d/ sound.
一般来说，当“t”在两个元音之间时，美国人通常把它发成快速的/d/音。
You likely tap the tip of your tongue on your tooth ridge, the area a centimeter or two behind your teeth.
你可能会用舌尖轻叩牙脊，也就是牙齿后面一两厘米的地方。
It is sometimes called the "tapped t".
有时被叫做“tapped t”。
Because you quickly tap your tongue in the place close to where you would make the /t/ sound.
因为你会在发出声音的地方快速敲击舌头。
Here are some more examples: city, better.
这里还有更多例子：city（城市）, better（更好）。
There are other situations in which Americans change the letter "t" into a fast /d/ sound.
还有一些其他的情况，美国人会把“t”读成快速的/d/音。
These include when the "t" comes before the letter "l" as in: little.
比如当“t”出现在"l"之前时，比如单词：little。
As well as when the "t" comes after an "r" and a vowel sound, as in everyone's favorite word: party.
还有当“t”出现在“r”和元音之后时，比如在每个人最喜欢的单词：party。
Try listening to how Americans say the letter "t" in different words, and then practice doing so yourself.
试着听美国人在不同单词中是如何发字母“t”的音的，然后自己练习。
Over time, you will pronounce the letter "t" much like an American.
慢慢地，你就能像美国人那样发“t”的音了。
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。
