Hello, I'm John Russell.
大家好，我是约翰·罗素。
Let's talk about the sound of hobbies and everyday activities.
让我们谈谈业余爱好和日常活动的声音。
That's right, there is a common consonant sound used in words about everyday life.
是的，有一个辅音发音我们日常生活中很常见。
But first, we need to explore certain kinds of consonant sounds.
首先，我们需要探索特定种类的辅音。
These sounds are made with the back of the tongue and the soft palate.
这些声音是靠舌头的后部和软腭发出的。
The soft palate is the area toward the back of your mouth.
软腭是指嘴巴后方的区域。
To make these sounds, you need to make sure the back of your tongue touches the back part of your mouth for just a moment.
要发出这些声音，你需要确保舌头的后部接触到嘴巴的后部一会儿。
This causes an obstruction in the airstream.
这就造成了气流阻塞。
Consider these two words: goal keep.
想一下这两个词：goal（目标），keep（保持）。
I produced these sounds by raising the back of my tongue and blocking an area in the soft palate.
我通过抬起舌头后部并挡住软腭的一块区域可以发出这些声音。
Speakers of American English make three sounds this way.
说美式英语的人发三个音会用到这个方法。
They are /k/, /g/, /长n/.
它们是/k/、/g/、/长n/。（注: 此音标写法为便于编辑，正确写法见视频）
You heard /k/ as in keep and /g/ as in goal.
你可以听到keep中的/k/音和goal中的/g/音。
But perhaps the most important and useful for you will be the /长n/ sound.
但是可能对你来说最重要和最有用的是/长n/的发音。
Many common verbs and nouns, and in the -ing spelling, which often matches the /长n/ sound.
很多常见的动词和名词，以及在ing的拼写中，经常有/长n/的音。
Every time, you talk about hobbies or daily activities you will probably use the /长n/ sound.
每次，你谈论自己的爱好或日常活动，都很可能用到/长n/的音。
I like running.
我喜欢跑步。
I am walking.
我正在走路。
I love reading and listening to music.
我喜欢看书和听音乐。
We enjoy talking and laughing.
我们喜欢有说有笑。
The next time you practice speaking, pay careful attention to the /k/, /g/ and /长n/ sounds, the sounds made with the back of your tongue and the soft palate.
下次练习说的时候，要注意一下/k/、/g/和/长n/的音，这些用舌头后部和软腭发出的声音。
That's all for today.
以上就是本期视频的全部内容。
Keep up the good work.
继续加油吧。
