如何提高英語發(fā)音的流利度 · 第二季

This is the 2nd tongue twister in my new 1 Minute Tongue Twister series. ?If you don’t remember just how important tongue twisters can be to your English learning, or if you missed part 1,?check it out here. ?With enough practice, they can really help you with your English fluency! ?So let’s get started!

歡迎來到「1分鐘繞口令」第二季。如果忘了繞口令對(duì)你的英語學(xué)習(xí)有多重要，或者錯(cuò)過了第一季的「1分鐘繞口令」，點(diǎn)擊這里復(fù)習(xí)。大量的練習(xí)繞口令，真的能讓你的英語流利度上一個(gè)臺(tái)階。那么話不多說，我們趕緊開始吧！

Today’s tongue twister is another classic that just about every native English speaker should know, and it focuses on the “s” and “sh” pronunciation. ?It’s about a sweet innocent little girl who has a hobby of collecting and selling shells. ?Would you like to hear her story? ?Here it is:

今天為你帶來的是另一個(gè)經(jīng)典的，每個(gè)英語母語者都知道的繞口令，這個(gè)繞口令主要練習(xí)的是你對(duì)“s”和“sh”的發(fā)音。故事是關(guān)于一個(gè)可愛天真，并且喜歡收賣貝殼的小女孩。你想聽聽他的故事嗎？走你：

Now then, as I explained last time, if you don’t really understand what you are saying or reading, it won’t sound natural or fluent. ?You would sound like a robot. ?So let’s go step by step and explain the story of this girl.

正如我上次所說的那樣，如果你真的不明白你在說什么或讀什么，那么它聽起來就會(huì)不自然或不流利，就像個(gè)機(jī)器人在說話。所以讓我們一步步來解釋這個(gè)女孩的故事。

This cute girl we are talking about likes to?collect shells. ?What kind of shells: turtle shells, egg shells, ghost in a shell? ?In this story, it’s the kind that you can often?find on the beach?and that?come from the ocean?– we call those?seashells. ? So the kind of shells she likes to collect are surely, or definitely, seashells. ?

我們正在談?wù)摰倪@個(gè)可愛的女孩她喜歡收集貝殼。什么樣的殼：龜殼，蛋殼，還是《攻殼機(jī)動(dòng)隊(duì)》？在這個(gè)故事里，指的是你經(jīng)常能在沙灘上能找到的來自海里的殼，我們把它稱為貝殼。所以她喜歡收集的殼肯定是貝殼。

After she gets a lot of shells, she tries to?sell them on the shore. ?What kind of shore though? ?Well, the shore between the ocean and the land, which we call a “seashore.” ?So if she goes to the seashore, and sells the shells there, well then they are definitely (or surely) shells from the seashore, or seashore shells.?

在她得到很多貝殼之后，她試著把它們賣到岸上。那是什么樣的岸呢？沒錯(cuò)，海洋和陸地之間的岸，我們稱為“海岸”。所以，如果她去海邊，把貝殼賣了，那么它們肯定是來自海岸的貝殼，或者是海貝殼?！?/span>

Now that we understand her story more clearly, let’s try again:

現(xiàn)在我們更清楚地了解了這個(gè)小女孩的故事，我們再來試試這個(gè)繞口令：

I hope today’s tongue twister helped your s and sh pronunciation. ?Maybe someday you can try selling seashells by the seashore, and if you make a lot of money, don’t forget who gave you the idea!

我希望今天的繞口令能幫助你的發(fā)音。也許有一天你可以試著在海邊賣貝殼，如果你賺了很多錢，別忘了是誰給你的主意！
