请注意在现代英式标准发音中，R是不发音的。

work

We have that first sound

我们来看第一个音，

/w/

So make sure that your top teeth are not touching your bottom lip. 語氣意圖

请确保你的上牙没有碰到下嘴唇。

所以不是 /v/ vork，而是 work。

So make sure your lips are very small, very round.

请确保你的嘴型非常小，非常圆。

/w/

And then they get bigger to move on to the vowel sound. 短語搭配

this should be the easiest sound ever to pronounce because it's so lazy.

这应该是史上最容易发的音，因为它太慵懒了。

You don't have to do anything.

你什么都不用做。

But it's not because we're so used to having to do something with our mouths 語法

但事实并非如此，因为我们太习惯于嘴巴必须要做点什么动作了，

that it's a strange concept to make a sound without doing anything, right? 語法

以至于不做什么动作就能发出声音是个很奇怪的概念，对吧？

But trust me, 語氣意圖

但相信我，

don't do anything.

什么都不要做。

/ɜː/

/ɜː/

Now let's put that together with the w.

现在让我们把它和 w 连起来。
