Hello, I'm John Russell.

大家好，我是约翰·罗素j]uqy7fXdtSkz;。

In a previous video, we explored the /长n/ sound, the sound of hobbies and daily activities.

在之前的视频中，我们探索了/长n/的发音，爱好和日常活动的声音8#&!35zXn*)。(注: 此音标写法为便于编辑，正确写法见视频)

That sound is made with the back of the tongue.

是由舌头的后部发出的声音LS2,]+tirAy6N!X(gU,。

Consider these examples:

看一下下面这些例子D%6G)Ekcs0;+@。

I like running.

我喜欢跑步_U_m_jWroq92epWcNg;T。

I am walking.

我正在走路&d;,G7=z(-sI*OB7r。

I am watching television.

我正在看电视vR]x&g0.%p|D3#R.!d。

But in everyday speech, you will often hear Americans replace the /长n/ sound.

但在日常讲话中，你会经常听到美国人取代/长n /的音XN=S|EFL=L。

They use the sound /n/ in its place.

他们用/n/这个音来代替Y;KPux&EwR%ta&c@&+=_。

The sound /n/ is made with the tip of the tongue and the area just behind the teeth.

/n/这个音是用舌尖和牙齿后面的区域发出的J*pFr^8nx.3uKSZ;E。

Let's think back to our previous examples.

我们回想一下之前的例子ub4Xm[[5W%1O。

"I am walking" becomes "I'm walkin'."

“I am walking”变成了“I'm walkin'”JC!6#Md8.c0uX!0。

"I like running" becomes "I like runnin'".

“I like running”变成了“I like runnin'”ms6xw#TmUY,EYN|o6。

"I am watching television" becomes "I'm watchin' television".

“I am watching television”变成了“I'm watchin' television”u(qH|qU6Ux*#00ceGI。

What is important is that the speakers are changing the place of articulation.

重要的是说话者在改变发音的位置g%S-@cTv0,B*sqe)mEKr。

Instead of making the /长n/ sound with the back of the tongue, Americans make the /n/ sound with the very front of the tongue.

美国人不是用舌头的后部发出/长n/这个声音，而是用舌头的前部发出/n/的声音,f.8obm%Tk2D。

The next time you watch American films or shows, try to listen for how speakers pronounce the ends of words, particularly words that end in "-ing".

下次你看美国电影或节目时，试着听说话者如何发音单词的结尾，特别是以“-ing”结尾的单词|m6PSfN03|zh^WVw5]uj。

You will begin to notice patterns in how people speak and how they use these words.

你会注意到人们说话和使用这些词的模式BH3YrV,tf]pC|=abIke。

That's all for today.

以上就是本期视频的全部内容Uvqw8XA,8T)Jh]n。

Keep up the good work.

继续加油吧Nm_@dhl0cwlVQzgr。
