Hello. My name is Emma, and in today's lesson, I am going to help you with your pronunciation.
你好。我的名字叫艾玛,在今天的课程当中,我要帮助你的发音。
Today I am going to teach you how to pronounce contractions for the word " would" .
今天我要教你“would”相关的缩略型的发音。
Okay?
好吗？
So, first of all, " would" .
所以首先，“would”。
When do we use " would" ?
我们什么时候用would这个词？
We use it a lot in English.
我们说英语时的经常用到。
One of the times in beginner and intermediate levels we use it is when we are at a restaurant.
当处于初级或中级左右的时候，我们会在餐馆用到这个词。
The server will ask you: " Oh, what would you like? " And you would respond: " I would like pizza." , " I would like chicken." , " I would like tacos." " I would like coffee." Okay? Now, the problem is. . . " Would" . . .
服务员会问你:“你好请问你想点什么？”你需要回应说：“我要披萨”。“我要鸡肉”。”我要炸玉米饼”。“我要咖啡”。对吧？现在，问题是……“would”...
This is all correct grammar-wise, but many, many students have trouble when it comes to pronouncing " would" .
刚刚说的例子的语法都是正确的，但是很多很多学生在进行would的发音时会遇到困难。
Okay? The " w" sound is a little difficult, so many students can't pronounce this correctly. Okay?
知道吗？w的发音有一些难度，所以很多学生这个词的发音不对。懂了吗？
Also, a lot of native speakers, like myself, a lot of Canadians and Americans, we don't really say " would" that frequently. What we usually say instead are contractions.
还有，许多母语者，比如我，许多加拿大和美国人，我们其实不经常说“would”。我们经常说的是缩略词。
So, a contraction is a short form.
所以，缩略词是一个短的类型。
Instead of saying: " I would" , " I'd" has the same meaning. Okay?
不说“I would”，“I'd”有相同的意思。好吗？
So this apostrophe here actually means " woul" . Okay? So this means there are all these missing letters, but we don't actually need them.
所以这里的省略号其实意思是“woul”。懂了吗？因此这代表着这些缺失的字母，但我们其实不需要它们。
Contractions are very, very common in spoken English. Not writing, but in speaking, we use them a lot.
缩略词在英语口语中是非常、非常普遍的。不是写作，而是口语中，我们会经常用缩略词。
Okay?
懂了吗？
So, if you want to sound more Canadian or more American, you should use contractions. So, let's look at some of these contractions.
如果你想让自己听起来更像加拿大人或美国人，你该用缩略词。那么，让我们看看一些这类的缩略词。
So: -" What would you like? What would you like to order? " -" I'd like some tea." Okay?
所以：-“你想要什么？你想点什么？”-“我想要茶”。懂了吗？
So, let's start with that. I want you to repeat after me. " I'd" , " I'd" .
所以，让我们开始吧。我希望你跟着我重复。“I'd”，“I'd”。
And again, this means " I would" , " I'd" . So it almost sounds like " eye-de" . " I'd" , " I'd like some tea. I'd like some tea." Now, maybe you're talking about. . . to your friend. Okay?
再说一遍，这是“我想要”的意思。“I'd”。所以它听起来“eye-de”。“I'd”，“我想要点茶，我想要点茶”。现在，你可能在……和你的朋友说话。 好吗？
In this case, if you want to say: " You would like tea" , you can say: " You'd" , " you'd" .
在这种情况下，如果你想说：“你想喝茶”，你可以说：“You'd”，“you'd”。
So, again: " You-de" , " you'd" . " You'd like some tea." , " You'd like some bread." , " You'd enjoy going to the beach." Okay? " You'd" .
所以，再来一次：“You-de”，“you'd”。“你想要一些茶。”“你想要一些面包”。“你想要享受海滩”。好吗？“You'd”。
Now, if you're talking about a boy or a man, we can use the word. . . Instead of: " he would" , you can use: " he'd" . Okay?
好了，如果你在谈论男性，我们可以用这个词……不说“he would”你可以说："he'd"。懂了吗？
And notice, this one, I actually smiled quite a lot. " He'd" .
然后注意，这个，我的表情其实是很夸张的笑容。"He'd"。
" He'd like toast." , " He'd like the chicken." , " He'd like a salad." Okay? " He'd" .
“他想到烤面包”，“他想要鸡肉”，“他想要份沙拉”，懂了吗？"He'd"。
For women, we would use: " she'd" , " she'd" . And again, notice my smile, " she'd" .
对于女性，我们会用：“she'd”，“she'd”。然后又一次，注意我的笑容，“she'd”。
" He'd" , " she'd" . They rhyme.
“he'd”，“she'd”。押韵。
" She'd like coffee." , " She'd like pizza." Okay?
“她想要咖啡”，“她想要披萨”。懂了吗？
And again, " she'd" means " she would" .
然后又一次，“she'd”意思是“she would”。
" She would like pizza." , " She'd like pizza."
“她想要(she would like)披萨”=“她想要(she'd)披萨”。
Okay, now, if we're talking about us and someone else, we would say: " we'd" , " we'd" . Okay?
好了，现在，如果我们想谈我们自己或其他人，我们会说“we'd”，“we'd”。懂了吗？
And again, there's a big smile on my face.
还有，我脸上有夸张的笑容。
" We'd" . " We'd like chicken." , " We'd like poutine." , " We'd like french fries." , " We'd like hot dogs." Okay? Example of " we'd" .
“we'd”。“我们想要鸡肉”，“我们想要布丁”，“我们想要薯条”。“我们想要热狗”。懂了吗？之前是“we'd”的例子。
Finally: " they'd" . " They'd like" .
最后：“They'd”。“They'd like”。
So this is if you have " they would" , it becomes " they'd" .
就是，把你说的“ they would”，变成“they'd”。
And you'll notice-very simple-all of them are just apostrophe " d" .
然后你会注意到——非常简单——他们都只是加了个撇号和字母d。
" They'd like chicken." , " They'd like to study English." Okay?
“他们想要鸡肉”。“他们想学英语”，懂了吗？
So any time you want to use the word " would" , try to replace it with a contraction. It will make you sound more like a native speaker.
所以只要你想用“would”时，试着用缩略词代替它。这会让你听起来更像母语者。
And, you know, especially if you have trouble with the pronunciation of " would" , just adding apostrophe " d" , will really help you with your spoken English.
还有，你知道，尤其是你发“ would”有困难时，就加个撇号和字母d吧，会的确帮助你说英语。
