Today, we are going to be looking at some really confusing words.

There's a lot to talk about today, but don't worry, I'm here to help you.

Before we get started, I would like to thank the sponsor of today's video, it is Lingoda, Europe's number one trusted language school with their language marathon.

Firstly, let's look at can, and can't.

首先，让我们看看 can 和 can't。

Now, these can be really confusing words, not only in the British pronunciation, the various forms of British pronunciation, but in American English, it gets even more complicated, so, we're going to talk about all of that today.

这些词真的很令人困惑，不仅在英式发音中，各种形式的英式发音，而且在美式英语中，它变得更加复杂，所以，我们今天要讨论所有这些形式。

Firstly, let's talk about strong and weak forms.

首先，让我们谈谈重读和弱读。

So, with the word, can, we have can with the/æ/sound, but we also have/kən/with the schwa sound and this is a weak form.

所以，对于这个词，can，我们有一个/æ/音，但我们也可以读作 带有中元音的 /kən/，这是弱读形式。

Weak forms are syllable sounds that become unstressed in connected speech and they're often pronounced as the schwa, a, a.

弱形式是变成音节的声音在连贯的演讲中没有压力它们通常发音为 schwa，a，a。

Can, /æ/, can, /ə/.

Can，/æ/，can，/ə/.

Take a look at this sentence.

看这句话。

When I'm speaking naturally, I would say, I can do what I can.

当我自然地说话时，我会说，我可以做我能做的。

So, the first can is a weak form, /kən/, and the last one, it's an important word so, it's can.

所以，第一个 can 是弱读形式，/kən/，最后一个，这是一个重要的词，所以是/kæn/。

The first can is in its weak form and the second one is stressed, so, it's in its strong form.

第一个 can 是弱读形式，第二个被强调了，所以是重读形式。

Can, can, I can do what I can.

Can，can，我可以做我能做的。

This works for other words as well, like do, what do you want to do?

这也适用于其他词，例如 do，你想让我做什么？

What do you want to do?

你想让我做什么？

The first is unstressed the second is stressed.

第一个没有重读，第二个重读了。

Now, let's take a look at can versus can't with RP pronunciation, my pronunciation. /æ/, can, /a: /, can't. /æ/is a really short and wide sound, /æ/, /æ/.

现在，让我们来看看标准发音，我的发音中 can 和 can't 的对比。/æ/，can，/a:/，can't。/æ/是一个非常短而宽的声音，/æ/，/æ/。

With can't, we have a different mouth shape and it's a lot longer. /a: /, /æ/, /a: /, /æ/, do I look silly?

而 can't，我们的嘴型不同而且发音时间更长。/a:/，/æ/，/a:/，/æ/，我看起来很傻吗？

Good, because that's how I meant to look when I'm teaching pronunciation.

很好，因为这就是我我在教发音的时候想要的样子。

Can, can't, /æ/, /a: /.

Can，can't，/æ/，/a:/。

Now, let's talk about a swear word.

现在，让我们聊聊脏话。

I don't normally talk about swear words on my channel.

我通常不会在我的频道上谈论脏话。

In American English, they refer to them as curse words, but there is a vowel sound.

在美式英语中，他们将它们称为诅咒词，但有元音。

It is very similar to the/a: /sound.

它与 /a:/ 的音非常相似。

If you use that in can't, it makes a really bad word.

如果你在读 can't 的时候使用它，那就会说成一个非常糟糕的词。

The vowel sound is, /ʌ/, /ʌ/.

元音是 /ʌ/，/ʌ/。

So, we've got/a: /, can't and/ʌ/. . .

所以，我们有 /a:/，can't，还有 /ʌ/......

I'm not going to say it on this channel, it's a really vulgar word.

我不会在这个频道上说这个词，它真的是个粗俗的词。

But if you would like to search it and hear it for yourself, then just replace the a in can't with a u, and I'm sure some robot dictionary will tell you exactly what it sounds like.

但如果你想自己搜索和听发音，那么只需把 can't 里面的 a 换成 u，我相信一些机器人词典会准确地告诉你它的发音。

Just be really mindful. /ʌ/, it's short and that's the bad version, /a: /, can't, that's longer and that's the fine version.

请务必注意。/ʌ/，它很短，这是糟糕的版本，/a:/，can't，它更长，是好的版本。

Now, something to notice with the pronunciation of can't is that sometimes we don't release that final T.

现在，需要注意 can't 的发音是有时我们不发出最后的 T。

Instead of saying can't, we might say can.

我们可能会说 can 而不是 can't。

I can' do it, not I can't do it.

I can' do it，而不是 I can't do it

I can't do it, I can't do it.

I can' do it，I can' do it。

I can do it, I can' do it.

I can do it，I can' do it。

I can do it, I can't do it.

I can do it，I can' do it。

So, you can't always rely on hearing that T to know if somebody is saying can or can't.

所以，你不能总是依赖听 T 去判断某个人说的是 can 还是 can't。

Now, this is where it gets complicated, because in American English, they use a very similar vowel sound for can and can't and they also avoid releasing that T at the end.

这就是变得复杂的地方，因为在美式英语中他们 can 和 can't 的元音发音非常相似，而且他们也避免在最后发出那个 T。

So, can in American English and you must excuse my terrible accent, is/kæn/, /kæn/, but can't in American English is/kænt/, /kænt/.

所以，美式英语中 can 的发音，你必须原谅我糟糕的口音，是 /kæn/，/kæn/，但美式英语中的 can't 的发音是 /kænt/，/kænt/。

Now, if they don't release that T, then they sound very similar. /kæn/, /kænt/, /kæn/, /kænt/.

如果他们不发出那个 T，那么它们听起来非常相似。/kæn/，/kænt/，/kæn/，/kænt/。

Okay, brace yourself for this accent, I can try, I can't try.

好吧，为这种口音做好准备，我可以尝试，我不能尝试。

Now, I spoke to a couple of my friends from the U. Sand they assured me that they can hear the difference because when they say can't, can't, they make the vowel sound much more abrupt.

现在，我和我的几个美国朋友聊了聊，他们向我保证他们可以听到不同之处，因为当他们说 can't，can't 时，他们会让元音听起来更加突然。

Can, can't, can, can't.

Can，can't，can，can't。

So, I hope you now feel confident in pronouncing can and can't and avoid pronouncing that bad word, unless you want to pronounce it, which is fine by me, just not on my channel, and I hope you now have a better idea about the differences between can and can't in American English.

所以，我希望你现在有信心发好 can 和 can't，并且避免说出那个坏词，除非你想读，这对我来说没事，只是不能在我的频道上，我希望你现在对于美式英语中的 can 和 can't 之间的差异有了更好的了解。

Now, let's talk about some more pairs of words that's even I find tricky and I really have to clarify exactly what I'm saying, especially when I'm talking on the phone.

现在，我们再谈谈一些甚至让我觉得很棘手的词，而且是我必须说清楚的内容，尤其是在我打电话的时候。

This is the difference between teen and ty.

这就是 teen 和 ty 之间的区别。

Fourteen, forty.

十四，四十。

If I say I want 14 coffees, please, they might say, is that 14 or 40?

如果我说我想要 14 杯咖啡，他们可能会说，那是 14 还是 40？

So, don't worry if you mix them up, native speakers get confused with it all the time.

所以，如果你把它们混淆了，别担心，母语人士总是对此感到困惑。

It's actually very, it's very annoying that those words are so similar, but in general speech, there are differences between them.

其实这很很烦人，这些词太相似了，但在一般的讲话中，它们之间是有区别的。

Take a look at the phonetic transcriptions of these two words, let's go on to 16 and 60.

看一下这两个词的音标，我们继续讨论 16 和 60。

We have sixteen and sixty.

我们有十六和六十。

You can see that in the teens, the stress is on the second syllable, but for the tys, the stress is on the first syllable.

你可以看到，在 teen 这个词中，重音在第二个音节，但是对于 ty，重音在第一个音节。

Sixteen, sixty, fourteen, forty, fifteen, fifty, seventeen, seventy, eighteen, eighty, nineteen, ninety, twenteen, twenty, just joking with that last one, I hope you didn't write that down, if so, rub it out.

十六，六十，十四，四十，十五、五十、十七，七十，十八，八十，十九，就是，十二，二十岁，最后一组是开玩笑的，我希望你没有写下来，如果是这样，擦掉它。

So, if you want to be really clear, especially when speaking over the phone when you can't lip read or really hear too well, make sure you really over accentuate the stress of the word you're trying to use.

所以，如果你想弄清楚，尤其是在打电话时，当你不能唇读或真的听得很清楚时，确保你真的强调了你要使用的单词的重音。

I said 60, not 16.

我说的是 60，不是16。

I'm going to do really quick quiz for you right now, just to make sure you understand the differences.

我现在要为你做一个非常快速的测验，只是为了确保你了明白了其中的差异。

Write your answers in the comment section down below and then I'll start correcting the first ones I see.

请在下面的评论部分写下你的答案，然后我会批改我看到的第一批答案。

You've got to tell me whether I'm saying teen or ty.

你得告诉我我是说的是 teen 还是 ty。

Okay, number one, 60 people came to the game last night.

好的，第一个，昨晚有60人来参加比赛。

I got my dog when I was 17.

我17岁时养了我的狗。

I've been with my husband for 17 years.

我和我丈夫在一起已经17年了。

And the last one, I'm only having 80 people at the wedding.

最后一个，我只有 80 个人参加婚礼。

I'm only having 80 people at the wedding.

我只有 80 个人参加婚礼。

Right, that is it for today's lesson.

好的，今天的课就到这里。

I hope you enjoyed it and I hope you learned something.

希望你喜欢，我希望你学到了一些东西。
