迷你英语课。
Hello! In today's Mini English Lesson, we're going to review contractions.
你好!在今天的迷你英语课上,我们将回顾一下缩写。
Now, contractions are particularly important if you want to improve your speaking.
如果你想提高口语,缩写尤为重要。
They're going to help you sound natural and confident.
缩写有助于让你的口语听起来自然、自信。
We're going to review seven different contraction forms, starting with number one, I am.
我们将回顾七种不同的缩写形式,首先,I am。
Now, in Beyoncé's famous song, Diva, she says, I'm a, I'm a, a diva. I'm a, I'm a, a diva
在碧昂丝的著名歌曲《女明星》中,她说“我我我是女明星,我我我是女明星。”
Beyoncé used the contracted form here to sound rhythmical.
碧昂斯在这里使用了缩写形式,让歌词听起来有节奏感。
Let's imagine if she used the long form.
我们想象一下,如果她使用了完整形式。
It would be I am a, I am a, a diva.
那就会是“我是一个,我是一个,一个女明星。”
(a) That sounds weird and it just doesn't sound natural.
首先这听起来很奇怪,而且听起来不自然。
Moving on to number two, she is great becomes /?i?z/ - /z/, she's great.
接下来是第二个,she is变成she's,她很棒。
Number three, you are amazing -- oh, I'm very positive today -- becomes /j??(r)/ - you're great.
第三,你太厉害了——哦,我今天用的词很积极啊——变成了you're,你太棒了。
Number four, I will see you there becomes /a?l/ - I'll see you there.
第四,我将在那里见你,变成I'll,我会在那里见到你。
Number five, would you rather go out and get a pizza or stay in and watch a movie?
第五,你是想出去吃披萨,还是想待在家里看电影?
I'd rather stay in - /a?d/.
我想待在家里,I'd。
Number six, we are meeting at the Eiffel Tower becomes /w??(r)/, we're meeting at the Eiffel Tower.
第六,我们将在埃菲尔铁塔见面变成 we're,我们在埃菲尔铁塔见面。
And finally, number seven!
最后,第七!
With could have, would have, should have, it's going to become could've, would've, should've,
对于could have,would have,should have, 可以变成could've, would've, should've,
focusing on the /v/ sound. /?k?d?v/, /?w?d?v/, /???d?v/.
重点是v这个音。could've, would've, should've。
Go ahead. Use the contracted forms when you're talking in order to sound natural, confident and fluent.
来吧,在说话时使用这些缩写形式,让自己听起来更自然、自信和流利。
Now I'm gonna go and plan a lesson that I should've planned before giving this Mini English Lesson.
现在我要去备课了,我本应该在这个迷你英语课之前就备好的。
Bye!
再见啦!
