Let's start with one word at a time. 表達脈絡

我們先從一個單字開始。

work

work

work

work

Notice that the R is silent in British English modern received pronunciation. 表達脈絡

請注意在現代英式標準發音中，R是不發音的。

work

work

We have that first sound

我們來看第一個音，

/w/

/w/

/w/

/w/

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

請確保你的上排牙齒沒有碰到下嘴唇。

So not /v/ vork but work.

所以不是 /v/ vork，而是 work。

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

請確保你的嘴型非常小，非常圓。

/w/

/w/

/w/

/w/

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

然後嘴型變大，過渡到母音。

So that vowel sound is super relaxed.

這個母音非常放鬆。

/ɜː/

/ɜː/

Notice I'm not doing anything.

注意我什麼都沒做。

It's super lazy.

它非常慵懶。

Nothing is being tensed.

沒有任何地方是緊繃的。

Nothing is moving.

沒有任何地方在動。

The tongue is not high.

舌頭並不高。

It's all relaxed.

一切都很放鬆。

It's all relaxed, all flat, not doing anything.

一切都很放鬆，很平坦，什麼都不做。

In theory, 表達脈絡

理論上來說，

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

這應該是史上最容易發的音，因為它太慵懶了。

You don't have to do anything.

你什麼都不用做。

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

但事實並非如此，因為我們太習慣於嘴巴必須要做點什麼動作了，

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

以至於不做什麼動作就能發出聲音是個很奇怪的概念，對吧？

But trust me, 語氣意圖

但相信我，

don't do anything.

什麼都不要做。

/ɜː/

/ɜː/

Now let's put that together with the w.

現在讓我們把它和 w 連起來。

We get /wɜː/.

我們發成了 /wɜː/。

Now don't try and pronounce that R. 語氣意圖

現在不要試圖把那個 R 發出來。

There are some accents where they do pronounce it,

有些口音確實會發這個音，

but in modern received pronunciation

但在現代標準英音中，

and even received pronunciation and the majority of accents across the UK,

甚至在傳統的標準英音以及全英國大多數的口音中，

they don't pronounce the R.

他們都不發 R 的音。

So together so far, 表達脈絡

那麼連起來目前為止，

we've got /wɜː/.

我們得到了 /wɜː/。

/wɜː/

/wɜː/

Super relaxed.

非常放鬆。

Make sure you're not saying where.

確保你說的不是 where。

Make sure you're not smiling.

確保你沒有在笑。

Make sure you're not raising the tongue.

確保你沒有抬高舌頭。

/wɜː/

/wɜː/

Super lazy.

非常慵懶。

Then we just add that k to the end.

然後我們只要在最後加上那個 k。

So it's pronounced at the back here.

所以它是在後面的這個位置發音的。

k

k

k

k

Make sure you're not doing something like /x/ sound.

確保你沒有發出類似 /x/ 這樣的音。

So not work but work.

所以不是 work，而是 work。

/wɜːk/

/wɜːk/

/wɜːk/

/wɜːk/

Now for the second word.

現在看第二個單字。

The key difference here is the vowel sound. 表達脈絡

這裡的關鍵差別是母音。

They're both different vowel sounds.

它們是兩個不同的母音。

Everything else around them is exactly the same.

周圍的其他部分是完全一樣的。

So that L is completely silent.

所以那個 L 是完全不發音的。

We don't say walk.

我們不說 walk。

Remove it.

把它去掉。

It's hard to pronounce actually.

其實把它發出來很難。

So remove that L.

Don't make it short, otherwise it becomes wok.

不要發短了，否則它就變成 wok 了。

And that's a different word.
