Now, let's get started 表達脈絡

现在，让我们开始

with the lesson on how to pronounce can and can't in English.

关于如何在英语中发音 can 和 can't 的课程。

Let's start firstly with the word can't,

我们首先从 can't 这个词开始，

as this only has one way to pronounce it. 表達脈絡

因为它只有一种发音方式。

To pronounce it,

要发这个音，

make sure that the vowel is really long.

确保元音发得很长。

Can't.

Can't。

And notice that I drop the jaw for this sound.

注意我在发这个音时下巴是往下掉的。

Can't.

Can't。

Can't.

Can't。

Now, what may be confusing is some native speakers, 表達脈絡

可能会让人感到困惑的是，一些母语人士，

particularly from the UK,

尤其是来自英国的，

may glottalize that T. 用詞

可能会把那个 T 发成喉塞音。

What does that mean, Emma, 表達脈絡

艾玛，如果他们把 T 发成喉塞音，

if they glottalize the T?

那是什么意思呢？

It basically means that instead of saying /kɑːnt/, 語法

这基本意味着他们不说 /kɑːnt/，

they say /kɑːnʔ/.

而是说 /kɑːnʔ/。

/kɑːnʔ/.

/kɑːnʔ/。

So, they're not removing the T.

所以，他们并不是去掉了 T。

It's not /kɑːn/, but it's /kɑːnʔ/. 語法

不是 /kɑːn/，而是 /kɑːnʔ/。

So, instead of pronouncing it here,

因此，他们不是在这里发音，

they're pronouncing it here.

而是在这里发音。

If you'd like to learn how to pronounce the glottal stop 語氣意圖

如果你想学习如何发喉塞音

and when the glottal stop is used,

以及什么时候使用喉塞音，

because we use it a lot in the UK,

因为我们在英国经常使用它，

then I will leave a video down below

那么我会在下方留一个视频，

for you to watch after this one.

供你们在看完这个之后观看。

So, you have /kɑːnt/ and /kɑːnʔ/.

所以，你有 /kɑːnt/ 和 /kɑːnʔ/。

/kɑːnt/.

/kɑːnt/。

/kɑːnʔ/.

/kɑːnʔ/。

So, you decide whether you want to pronounce it 語法

因此，由你决定是想发音

with the T or with the glottal stop.

带有 T 还是带有喉塞音。

It's up to you. 語氣意圖

这完全取决于你。

But you will hear native speakers using both.

但你会听到母语人士两种都用。

And a lot of the time, 短語搭配

很多时候，

they will probably use the glottal stop.

他们可能会使用喉塞音。

Now, we have can.

现在，我们来看 can。

Can has two ways to pronounce it.

Can 有两种发音方式。

The strong form of can

can 的强读形式

is used when you want to emphasize the word.

在你想强调这个词时使用。

And this is /kæn/.

那就是 /kæn/。

Notice that the vowel is shorter and it's more open.

注意元音较短且更开阔。

/kæn/.

/kæn/。

/kæn/.

/kæn/。

So, to compare,

所以，对比一下，

we have can,

我们有 can，

can't,

can't，

can,

can，

can't.

can't。

So, the vowel length is different,

可见，除了元音长度不同，

but also this one is more open in can.

can 的这个音也更加开阔。

Now, as I said,

正如我刚才所说，

/kæn/ is the strong form, 用詞

/kæn/ 是强读形式，

and we don't usually use the strong form in sentences.

我们通常不在句子中使用强读形式。

Instead, what you will hear in sentences

相反，你在句子中听到的是

is the weak form, /kən/.

弱读形式，/kən/。

/kən/.

/kən/。

So, you have /kæn/, /kən/.

所以，你有 /kæn/，/kən/。

Notice that this one is very quick and very weak.

注意这个音非常快，非常弱。

So, you have /kɑːnt/,

因此，你有 /kɑːnt/，

/kæn/ /kən/.

/kæn/ /kən/。

/kɑːnt/, /kæn/, /kən/.

/kɑːnt/，/kæn/，/kən/。

In this lesson,

在这节课中，

we're going to practice pronouncing /kən/,

我们将练习在句子中发音 /kən/，

the weak form, in sentences,

即弱读形式，

because this is the one that you are more likely to hear, 短語搭配

因为这是你更有可能听到的发音，

and it sounds more natural when you use it in sentences. 用詞

而且在句子中使用它听起来更自然。

So, let's compare in some sentences.

所以，让我们在一些句子中对比一下。

She /kɑːnt/ swim very well.

她不太会（/kɑːnt/）游泳。

She /kɑːnt/ swim very well.

她不太会（/kɑːnt/）游泳。

She /kən/ swim very well.

她游得（/kən/）很好。

She /kən/ swim very well.

她游得（/kən/）很好。

So, notice the key difference here

注意这里的关键区别

is /kɑːnt/ is very strong.

是 /kɑːnt/ 发得很重。

She /kɑːnt/ swim very well.

她不太会（/kɑːnt/）游泳。

It's strong because we're emphasizing it more.

它发得重是因为我们更强调它。

But /kən/ is very weak.

但 /kən/ 就非常弱。

She /kən/ swim.

她能（/kən/）游泳。

She /kən/.

她能（/kən/）。

It's really, really quick.

它真的、真的非常快。

I /kɑːnt/ finish the project by tomorrow.

我明天之前无法（/kɑːnt/）完成这个项目。

I /kɑːnt/ finish the project by tomorrow.

我明天之前无法（/kɑːnt/）完成这个项目。

I /kən/ finish the project by tomorrow.

我明天之前能（/kən/）完成这个项目。

I /kən/ finish the project by tomorrow.

我明天之前能（/kən/）完成这个项目。

You /kɑːnt/ call me later.

你晚点不能（/kɑːnt/）打给我。

You /kən/ call me later.

你晚点可以（/kən/）打给我。

We /kɑːnt/ visit the museum this weekend.

我们这周末不能（/kɑːnt/）参观博物馆。

We /kən/ visit the museum this weekend.

我们这周末可以（/kən/）参观博物馆。

He /kɑːnt/ eat spicy food.

他不能（/kɑːnt/）吃辣。

He /kən/ eat spicy food.

他能（/kən/）吃辣。

So, notice that every time we use the positive can, 用詞

注意，每次我们使用肯定形式的 can 时，

we're using the weak form in sentences.

在句子中我们都使用弱读形式。

/kən/.

/kən/。

He /kən/.

他能（/kən/）。

He /kən/ eat spicy food.

他能（/kən/）吃辣。

While /kɑːnt/ is always stronger.

而 /kɑːnt/ 总是发得更重。

So, usually, if you can hear the word can't very clearly, 語法

所以，通常情况下，如果你能非常清楚地听到 can't 这个词，

it's probably the negative.

它可能就是否定形式。

But if you're not sure,

但如果你不确定，

there is absolutely no shame in asking. 習語

提问也绝对没什么丢人的。

Native speakers all the time get confused with this.

母语人士也总是会搞混。

So, it's completely fine to say 語氣意圖

所以你完全可以问：

you can or you can't.

是 you can 还是 you can't？

Now, it's time for the quiz.

现在，是测验时间了。

I'm going to read a sentence to you,

我会给你们读一个句子，

and you need to decide if I'm saying can, 短語搭配

你们需要判断我说的是 can，

can, the weak form,

还是 can（弱读形式），

or can't.

或者是 can't。
