Today, I'm going to be telling you how to pronounce the most common job titles. It's very important to be able to introduce yourself and say maybe what your job is to someone.
今天，我将告诉你如何发音最常见的工作头衔。能够向别人介绍你自己和你的工作是非常重要的。
Maybe you have problems pronouncing the title of your job or somebody else's job. This is the video that's going to help you today.
也许你对自己或别人工作的头衔发音遇到问题。今天这个视频就是帮助你解决这个问题的。
All right, you lot. This is Elliott from ETJ English, and like I said we're going to be focusing on just singular words today. Maybe some of them will be two words, but we're going to learn how to pronounce them so that you can talk about job titles without feeling worried about how you're pronouncing it.
好了，伙计们。我是 ETJ 英语频道的埃利奥特，就像我说的，我们今天只关注单数词。也许其中一些是两个单词，但是我们要学习如何发音，这样你们在谈论工作头衔时就不用担心如何发音了。
These are actually based on the most common comments that I receive on my YouTube channel. Lots of people tell me what their job is.
这些实际上是基于我在油管频道上收到的最常见的评论。很多人告诉我他们的工作是什么。
I've created a list of the most common titles that I've seen in the comments. Now, this is just going to be the basics.
我列了一个清单，上面有我在评论中看到的最常见头衔。这是最基本的。
If you really need the detailed way of pronouncing all of these sounds, the vowels, the consonants, the stress, then what you're going to need to do is join my pronunciation course. The link is in the description box below.
如果你真的需要这些发音的详细方法，元音，辅音，重音，那么你需要做的就是加入我的发音课程。链接就在下面的描述框中。
Anyway, let's start with the first job. Now, this is probably the most common job that I see written in the comments section below.
好，我们从第一个职业开始。这可能是我在下面的评论部分看到的最常见的工作。
Loads of you seem to be engineers. Let's talk about how we pronounce this, we start with a nice /e/ sound.
似乎你们很多人都是工程师（engineer）。我们来讨论一下如何发音，我们从一个漂亮的/e/音开始。
It's very important to get that very first vowel nice and clear, engine/'endʒɪn/. Let's just start with that word "engine", because once we get that right, all we have to do is finish with something we call a diphthong.
把第一个元音读清楚是非常重要的，engine/'endʒɪn/。让我们从 engine（引擎）这个词开始，因为一旦我们正确发音这个词，我们要做的就是用一个我们称之为双元音的音来结束这个词的发音。
A diphthong is a combination of two vowels which creates one vowel sound. And at the end of this word, it's /ɪə/, /ɪə/, /ɪə/, like these, the things I hear with my ears.
双元音是两个元音的组合，产生一个元音。这个词的最后，发音是/ɪə/，/ɪə/，/ɪə/，像这些，我用我的耳朵（ear）来听声音。
So, "I'm an engineer." So, practice going from a big smile into that very relaxed schwa sound at the end, /ə/, "engineer".
例如：“我是一名工程师。”练习一下，从一个大大的微笑到最后那非常放松的/ə/音，engineer。
The next one that I see very often in the comments section is an "accountant", "a-ccoun-tant". So, we start with a schwa sound /ə/.
下一个我经常在评论部分看到的是“会计（accountant）”，a-ccoun-tant。我们从一个弱央元音/ə/开头。
Lots of people think that we start with an /æ/ and we say accountant/'ækaʊntənt/. However, in British English, when we have a vowel which is not stressed in a word, the stress in this word is on "coun", /əˈkaʊntənt/, right?
很多人以为我们以一个/æ/音开头，并且读/'ækaʊntənt/。但是，在英式英语中，当我们在一个单词中有一个不重读的元音时，这个单词的重音是 coun，/əˈkaʊntənt/。
So, because this first vowel is not stressed and usually when it's the letter "a", it will be changed into a schwa sound. Just like when we say "about/əˈbaʊ/" instead of "about/a'baʊ/".
因为第一个元音不重读，通常当它是字母 a 时，它的发音就会变成弱央元音。例如，我们读 about/əˈbaʊ/，而不是 about/a'baʊ/。
So, it would be accountant/əˈkaʊntənt/, accountant/əˈkaʊntənt/. Now, with that "n" in the middle, "accoun", you need to kind of just get your tongue on the top of your mouth, "accountant", "accountant".
所以，它应该是 accountant/əˈkaʊntənt/，accountant/əˈkaʊntənt/。中间那个 n，accoun，你需要稍微把舌头放到嘴巴的顶部，accountant，accountant。
So, for example, "I'm an accountant." Try and finish with the "t", but you don't have to.
例如，I'm an accountant.试着结尾把 t 读出来，但不是必须的。
Lots of British people will drop that "t" at the end of their words and they would say "I'm an accountant/əˈkaʊntən/", /ən/, right? So, we're not, we're kind of stopping the "t" in our throat at the end of that word, a bit like when we say "a lot/lɒ/" instead of "a lot/lɒt/", okay.
很多英国人会把单词结尾的 t 音省略，他们会说 I'm an accountant/əˈkaʊntənt/，/ən/，对吧？所以，在那个单词的结尾，我们会把 t 音停在喉咙里不发出来，有点像我们说 a lot/lɒ/ 的时候，我们不说 a lot/lɒt/。
So, you could say accountant/əˈkaʊntən/. But I usually recommend pronouncing that /t/ at the end just to make it nice and clear.
你可以读成 accountant/əˈkaʊntən/。但我通常建议把结尾的/t/音发出来，让发音更清晰。
Another very common one, a "lawyer/lɔɪ(j)ə/", /ɔɪ/, /ɔɪ/, okay? So, we have a really nice sound in there, "lawyer", "lawyer".
另一个很常见职业，“律师（lawyer）”，/ɔɪ/，/ɔɪ/。这个音真的很好，lawyer，lawyer。
We're finishing with the schwa sound because it finishes with "er". Words which finish with the /ər/ sound as an American would pronounce, we will pronounce with an /ə/, /ˈlɔːjə/.
我们以弱央元音结尾，因为它以 er 结尾。美国人发这个词会以/ər/音结尾，我们以/ə/音结尾，/ˈlɔːjə/。
Watch my mouth, "lawyer", okay. It's quite a nice word though.
看我的嘴巴，lawyer。这是一个很好的词。
And American would call this "attorney", but we don't say that. We say "lawyer".
美国人会说 attorney，但我们不那么说。我们说 lawyer。
And of course, this is my job, lots of other people's jobs. Lots of people that watch my videos are teachers, "teacher".
这个职业是我的职业，也是很多其他人的职业。很多观看我视频的人是老师（teacher），teacher。
So, we do this nice, a bit like t-shirt, t-shirt, teacher, the stress "T", teacher. So, remember, when we stressed a syllable in a word, our tone will go up.
我们发音的时候有点像 t-shirt，t-shirt，teacher，重读在 t 那里，teacher。记住，当我们重读一个单词的音节时，我们的音调会上升。
Maybe it will sound a little bit longer and the unstressed syllable will be nice and relaxed, "teacher", "I'm a teacher". If you do a lot of translating, you could be a translator, "translator", /leɪ/.
也许它听起来会稍微长一点，非重读音节会很轻很放松，teacher，I'm a teacher。如果你做很多翻译工作，那你就是一个翻译员（translator），translator，/leɪ/。
So, of course, again, lots of these job titles have diphthongs in, these double vowel sounds that we have, /eɪ/. So, watch my mouth, /e/, /ɪ/, /eɪ/, /eɪ/, "translator".
当然了，很多这些职业头衔都有个双元音，这些双元音有/eɪ/。看着我的嘴巴，/e/，/ɪ/，/eɪ/，/eɪ/，translator。
So, we're starting with an /e/, finishing with an /ɪ/, "translator", /ə/, /ə/. I know it finishes with "or", but that's still an /ər/ sound in American English.
我们以一个/e/音开始，以一个/ɪ/音结尾，translator，/ə/，/ə/。我知道它以 or 结尾，但在美式英语中它还是以/ər/音结尾。
So, we will pronounce it with a schwa, an /ə/. So, it's not just for "er", it's also for "or".
我们要发一个弱央元音，/ə/音。不单是 er 发这个音，or 也发这个音。
For example, my next one: "doctor", "doctor". So, this one's quite difficult because we have a consonant cluster in the middle.
例如，下一个：“医生（doctor）”，doctor。这个词很难发音，因为它中间有一个辅音群。
We have to do a /k/ and we have to do a /t/, /kt/. So, I like to imagine the mouth like a machine.
我们要发一个/k/音，然后一个/t/音，/kt/。我喜欢把嘴巴想象成机器。
Now, imagine that you're pulling something and it's making something work. When you create that /k/ sound, you should imagine that it releases, almost like you're spitting, so /kt/, /kt/, "doctor", "doctor".
想象一下，你在拉什么东西，它让什么东西运转起来。当你发/k/音时，你应该想象它是释放出来的，就像你在吐口水一样，/kt/， /kt/， "doctor"， "doctor"
Now, you can start by really stressing that consonant cluster but eventually, you need to start relaxing it, "doctor", "doctor". And of course, finish with /ə/, "I'm a doctor".
你可以从重读这些辅音群开始，但最终，你需要开始放松，doctor，doctor。当然，它以/ə/音结尾，I'm a doctor.
This one has a very difficult vowel sound which lots of people hate. It's the /ɜː/ sound.
这个单词有一个很多人都讨厌的很难发音的元音。那就是/ɜː/音。
Now, to create this sound, we open the mouth quite relaxed, very similar to how the mouth is when we create the schwa sound /ə/. But we need to make it longer.
要发这个音，我们要非常放松地张开嘴，就像我们发弱央元音/ə/时的发音一样。但我们要发得长一些。
The tongue needs to be kind of in the middle of the mouth and imagine, like I've told you before in one of my videos, imagine you can smell something really bad, /ɜː/, right, "nurse", "nurse". And finally, lots of people in the comments section tell me that they work as a secretary.
舌头需要在嘴巴的中间，想象一下，就像我之前在我的一个视频里告诉过你的，想象你闻到很难闻的味道，/ɜː/，对吧，nurse，nurse。最后，评论区的很多人告诉我他们是秘书（secretary）。
Now, an American would pronounce this with an extra syllable in there. We actually relaxed this word a lot in British English, /ˈsekrətri/, "secretary", /rə/, /rə/, that's a sound in the middle, "secretary".
美国人会在发音时多加一个音节。在英式英语中，这个词其实我们读得很轻，/ˈsekrətri/，secretary，/rə/，/rə/，这是中间的音，secretary。
So, "I work as a secretary". So, that's your lot for today. I hope you enjoyed the video.
例如：我是一名秘书。这就是今天呈现给大家的内容，希望你们喜欢这个视频。
