Well hey there this is Emma from mmmEnglish! How are you?
大家好啊，我是Emma，欢迎来到Emma的美味英语！你好吗？
Over the past few months, many of you have written to me in the comments below my videos asking for help with your English speaking skills.
You want to sound more natural, more casual, more like a native English speaker, right?
在过去的几个月，你们其中的很多人都在我视频下方的评论区给我写评论，说是想要寻求帮助，提升英语口语水平。你们想要听起来更加自然、更加随意，更像一个英语母语者，对吧？
Some of you also like my not so Australian, Australian accent and you want to practise speaking like me.
Well today you're in luck because in this lesson, we're gonna have some fun doing exactly that!
你们其中的一些人喜欢我并不那么澳洲的澳洲英语口音，你们想要练习和我一样说英语。好的，那么今天你们就很幸运了，因为在本节课程中，我们就要这么做呢，肯定会很有趣的！
Okay! Welcome to your first English Conversation Workout!
This is an intensive 'repeat after me' style lesson that's going to work those conversation muscles.
好的！欢迎来到第一节英语对话训练！这是一节强度非常大的‘跟我一起念’风格的课程，会训练讲话的肌肉。
It's gonna help you to strengthen those speaking skills and your listening skills at the same time.
We're gonna do a lot of speaking practice together in a short space of time so you need to be ready to participate.
这能够帮助你们增强口语技巧，同时也可以提升听力技巧。我们将会在很短的时间内一起做很多口语练习，所以大家需要准备好参与哦。
You've got to join in and by the end of the workout today, you're gonna feel more confident and you're gonna sound more natural like a native English speaker when you use these common conversation expressions.
Today's workout will focus on greetings and introductions.
你们得加入我一起，在今天的锻炼结束之后，当你们使用这些常见的对话表达的时候，你们会感觉更加自信，也会听起来更加自然，像英语母语者一样。今天的训练侧重于问候和介绍。
We're going to practise some really common questions that you can ask or that you might be asked in a very casual and very common English conversation.
Before we get started, I want to make sure that you're in a place where you feel comfortable talking at your normal speaking volume.
我们将会练习一些在随意和常见的英语对话中你可以问别人或者是可能被问到的非常常见的问题。在我们开始之前，我想要先确认一下，你们现在是在一个可以非常舒适地用自己一般的说话音量说话的地方。
And if you're able to avoid using your headphones, then do that too. That's so that you can hear me but also you can hear yourself clearly too.
如果你们可以不用耳机的话，那就别用啦。这样你们不仅仅可以听到我，还可以清楚地听到自己。
Now this workout is really simple you don't need to think much, you just need to listen and repeat after me. We're gonna practise four sets of really simple English phrases.
这个训练非常简单，你们不需要思考太多，只需要竖
起耳朵认真听，然后跟着我念就行了。我们会练习四组非常简单的英语短语。
Now these are gonna be phrases that you already know and you've probably read them or you've heard them during a casual conversation with native speakers.
But we're going to focus on your pronunciation and your expression today, okay?
其中可能会有一些短语你们已经知道了，你们可能见到过，或者是在和母语者进行随意对话的时候听到过。但是今天我们会侧重于你的发音以及表达，好吗？
So you'll practise listening and then saying these questions just like native speakers do with contractions, with linking and you know, we'll play around a little with word stress as well.
So get ready to practise out loud guys. It's workout time!
你们会先听，然后练习像母语者那样连读，我们也会练习一下单词的重音。准备好大声练习吧朋友们。锻炼时间到了！
So when we meet with someone, whether it's someone we already know or someone we're just meeting for the first time, we almost always ask how they are, right?
So for our first set, we're
gonna practise some simple phrases that all mean the same thing, "How are you?"
当我们见到别人的时候，不管是我们已经认识的人还是我们第一次见的人，我们几乎总是要问他们怎么样，对吧？那我们的第一组会练习一些简单的和‘你好吗？’相同意思的短语。
So here we go. Hi Tom, how are you?
好的，开始吧。嗨，汤姆，你好吗？
Good! So notice how it's like just one big word there. Do it again.
很好！注意听起来是很像一个完整的词。再来一次。
Hi Tom, how are you? Last one.
嗨，汤姆，你好吗？最后一次。
Hi Tom, how are you? Okay, now let's change the emphasis a little here.
嗨，汤姆，你好吗？好的，现在让我们来改变一下重音吧。
Hi Brooke! How are you? So really stretch out that 'and' sound.
嗨，布鲁克！你好吗？把那个‘and’的音给拉长。
Doing this helps to sound really interested in the answer so if you know the person well but you haven't really seen them for a while then using this intonation is great okay because it shows that you really care.
Hi Brooke! How are you?
这样做会让你听起来对答案非常感兴趣，如果你非常了解这个人，但是你很久没有见过他们了的话，那么使用
这个语调就非常好，因为它会表现出你真的非常在意。嗨，布鲁克！你好吗？
Hi Brooke! How are you? Alright let's try this one now.
嗨，布鲁克！你好吗？好的，让我们试一下这一个吧。
Hey Steve, how you doing? So notice that we've dropped the verb 'be' here and this is something that's really common in spoken English.
嗨，史蒂夫，你好吗？注意我们在这里省略了be动词，这在英语口语中非常常见。
Especially with really common phrases, frequently used phrases like these ones. Hey Steve, how you doing?
尤其是在常见的短语中，就像这些经常会使用的短语一样。嗨，史蒂夫，你好吗？
Hey Steve, how you doing? All right, so now let's switch out 'doing' with 'going' but you'll notice there's a couple of other changes when we do that.
嗨，史蒂夫，你好吗？好的，现在让我们把‘doing’换成‘going’，但是你会注意到当我们那么做的时候，还会有一些其他的改变。
Hey Angelina, how's it going? So you'll hear native English speakers say 'goin', 'going'.
嗨，安吉丽娜，你好吗？你们会听到英语母语者说‘goin’，‘going’。
Whatever. So just use which one is the most comfortable
for you. Hey Angelina, how's it going?
无所谓的。你觉得哪个用起来舒服，就用哪个就行了。嗨，安吉丽娜，你好吗？
Hey Angelina, how's it going? And for the last one, something super, super casual.
嗨，安吉丽娜，你好吗？最后一个，非常非常随意的一个。
Hey mate, what's happening? In spoken English, it's really really common to hear 'happening' reduced down to just two syllables but it is especially common in this expression, okay?
嘿兄弟，还好吗？在英语口语中，听到‘happening’缩减成了两个音节是非常常见的，但是在这个表达中尤其常见，对吧？
Now it's still correct to say 'happening', "What's happening?" but it just sounds more relaxed and more friendly when you reduce it down to happenin'.
And of course, 'mate' is used to refer to a friend in Australia and it's also really common in England.
完整地说‘happening’当然是可以的。‘怎么样啊？’这样说，但是如果说成是‘happenin’的话，听起来会更加放松，语气也更加友好。当然了，‘mate’在澳大利亚指的是朋友，在英国也挺常见的。
So you could replace it with 'dude' or 'man' or 'guys' or whatever but it's the same, same kind of expression. Hey mate, what's happening?
你可以用‘dude’，或者是‘man’啊，‘guys’啊来代替，但是这都是相同的表达。伙计，怎么样啊？
Hey mate, what's happening? Awesome work!
伙计，怎么样啊？太棒了！
Now there are a lot of different combinations for greetings in English and from what we just practised now, you would have noticed that there's a lot of flexibility in spoken English, okay?
So try not to worry too much about perfection.
在英语中有很多不同的表达问候的组合，从我们刚刚练习的那一些例子你们可能已经注意到英语口语灵活性很强，对吧？不要担心一定要完美。
Native speakers really don't worry about perfection when it comes to introductions, okay? You don't have to be perfect, grammatically speaking.
当要进行介绍的时候，母语者并不担心要表达得很完美，对吧？从语法上来说，你们并不需要表达得很完美。
Okay, let's keep going, we're just warming up. What are you doing?
好的，让我们继续吧，刚刚只是热身呢。你在做什么呢？
When we're speaking with friends or even colleagues at work, we can use this expression to find out what's happening right now, but we often use it to find out what plans are in the future, what someone's plans are.
So it's a little question that can start a conversation or a really useful one to help you keep a conversation going.
当我们和朋友或者是工作同事说话的时候，我们可以使用这个表达来问他们现在在做什么，但是我们经常会用这个表达来问他们未来的计划是什么。这是个可以开启对话或者是非常有用的帮助你维持对话的小问题。
Now in the next few phrases that we practise, we're going to begin each question with 'so' because it helps to give the listener a clue that you're going to say something or you're going to ask something so it introduces you.
And I also want you to listen out for the stressed words and the way that we change the focus of the question by stressing certain words.
在我们练习的下面的几个短语中，我们每个问题都会以‘so’开始，因为这会帮助你给听者线索，那就是你要说话了，或者是你要问问题，这会引出你说的话。我也想让大家听一下单词的重音，以及我们是如何通过重读某些单词来改变问句的焦点的。
Listen out for 'what're you' instead of 'what are you'. So this is the contracted form 'what are you'.
认真听一下我们说的是‘what're you’，而不是‘what are you’。这是‘what are you’的连读形式。
So, what are you doing later on? What are you doing later on?
所以，你接下来会做什么呢？你接下来会做什么呢？
Now can you hear that flap 'T' there? It sounds more like a 'D'. 'Whatta', 'Whatta', 'Whatta' and then again 'later', 'later'.
This is really really common in Australian and American English accents. And a quick note about 'later on', okay?
你们能听到这里的弹舌音‘T’吗？听起来更像是‘D’。‘Whatta’，‘Whatta’，‘Whatta’，然后是‘later’，‘later’。这在澳大利亚和美式英语口音中非常非常常见。然后呢，我需要快速地提一下‘later on’，好吗？
You can assume that it means later on in that same day if there's no extra information but you'll also hear people using it with longer time references as well.
Later on in the week, later on in the year. Okay, so it's not a specific point in time but it's just in the future at some point.
如果没有额外信息的话，你们可以认为它的意思是同一天的晚些时候，但是你们也会听到别人用这个短语指很长一段时间之后。本周晚些时候，今年晚些时候。好的，并不是特定的一个时间，只是未来的某个时间。
So what are you doing later on? So what are you doing later on?
你接下来会做什么呢？你接下来会做什么呢？
Great stuff! Let's practise some more now.
太棒了！让我们再练习一下吧。
So what are you doing tomorrow? What are you doing tomorrow?
你们明天要做什么呢？你们明天要做什么呢？
Now push the stress, transfer the stress onto 'you' okay? We want to emphasise who we're talking to in a group.
现在改变一下重音，把重音放到‘you’上，好吗？我们想要强调一下我们是在群体中对话。
So what are you doing tomorrow? So what are you doing on the weekend?
你们明天要做什么呢？你们周末要做什么呢？
And now let's shift our emphasis back to the weekend, away from you. So what are you doing on the weekend?
现在让我们还是把重音放到‘weekend’上吧，不要把重音放到‘you’上面啦。你们周末要做什么呢？
So what are you doing on the weekend? Fantastic! Nice work with the stress.
你们周末要做什么呢？太棒了！重音这部分做的很好啊。
Alright, last set now. So what are you guys doing over summer?
好的，最后一组啦。你们夏天会做什么呢？
So what are you guys doing over summer? And again let's move the stress back to the subject: You guys.
你们夏天会做什么呢？同样的，让我们把重音放回到主语：you guys上面。
So what are you guys doing over the summer? Top stuff! Let's keep going.
你们夏天会做什么呢？棒的不得了！让我们继续吧。
What are you up to? Okay so this phrase is really similar to "What are you doing?" but it's even more natural and common for native speakers to ask a question this way.
你最近在忙啥呢？好的，这个短语和‘你在做什么呢？’意思非常相近，对于英语母语者来说，这样问问题会更加自然，更加常见。
So see if you can get "What are you up to?" down to just "What are you up to?" Are you ready to give it a go?
看一下你们能不能把‘What are you up to?’连读成‘What are you up to?’吧？准备好试一下了吗？
What are you up to? What are you up to?
你最近在忙啥呢？你最近在忙啥呢？
What are you up to? Brilliant! Alright, let's give this question a little bit more focus.
你最近在忙啥呢？太棒了！好的，让我们再来练习一下这个问题。
So, what are you up to today? So, what are you up to today?
所以，你今天忙什么呢？所以，你今天忙什么呢？
And now shift that focus to the person that you're talking to. So what are you up to today?
现在呢把放在和你对话的那个人身上。所以，你今天忙什么呢？
Great! Now let's add another prompting question. So we could say, "What are you up to tonight? Busy?"
太棒了！让我们加上另外一个提示性问题吧。我们可以说：你今晚要做什么呢？忙吗？
So we've dropped the structure of the question there in the second question and we're using only intonation to signal that it's a question. And that's quite common in informal spoken English.
我们把第二个问题的问句结构给省略掉了，只是用语调来表示这是个问题。这在非正式英语口语中非常常见。
What are you up to tonight? Busy? Now if we want to shift the focus on to the person who we're talking to we can say: What are you up to tonight? Busy?
你今晚要做什么呢？忙吗？如果我们想要把转移到和我们交谈的那个人身上的话，我们可以说：你今晚要做什么呢？忙吗？
So what are you up to for the weekend? Got any plans?
你周末要做什么呢？有什么计划吗？
So what are you up to for the weekend? Got any plans?
你周末要做什么呢？有什么计划吗？
Excellent! And last time. So what are you up to for the weekend?
太棒了！最后一次。你周末要做什么呢？
Got any plans? This one is definitely one of the most common small talk questions that you just hear all the time.
有什么计划吗？这个绝对是你总是会听到的非常常见的小对话问题之一。
In fact, I was just talking to my mum earlier today on the phone and we almost always start our conversation by chatting about the weather because we live in different cities and the weather often shapes our mood and it can affect our day so asking a question about the weather, it helps to show interest in someone especially if you're far away from each other.
Now there are different ways to ask about the weather, lots of them but we're gonna focus on some of the most common and the most natural sounding ways of asking about the weather in English.
其实呢，我今天早些时候和我妈妈打电话来着，我们几乎每次对话都是以聊天气开始的，因为我们生活在不同的城市，天气经常会影响我们的心情，影响我们的生活，所以可以问一下关于天气的问题，这能够帮助我们表示对某个人的兴趣，尤其是你们互相离得很远的话。
有很多不同的方式可以询问天气，真的特别多，但是我们会侧重于其中非常常见的那些，以及那些听起来最自然的用英语询问天气的表达。
And one of the best ways to do that is to add an -ING verb to talk about the weather as if it was feeling or doing something. It adds a little bit of personality and that's what we're gonna practise right now.
询问天气最好的方式之一就是使用加-ing的动词，就像是可以真的感觉到或者是正在做什么事情一样。这会增加一点点个性，我们现在就要练习一下。
So are you ready? What's the weather doing?
准备好了吗？天气怎么样呢？
Notice that I'm contracting and linking 'what's the', 'what is the' into 'what's the'. What's the weather doing?
注意我在读‘what's the’的时候是连读的，把‘what is the’连读成了‘what's the’。天气怎么样呢？
What's the weather doing? Perfect! So now it's time to add some time markers.
天气怎么样呢？完美！现在是时间加上一点时间标志了。
What's the weather doing tomorrow? What's the weather doing tomorrow?
明天天气怎么样呢？明天天气怎么样呢？
What's the weather doing tomorrow? And let's add some additional words as well to make our sentence more interesting.
明天天气怎么样呢？让我们再加一些额外的单词，让我们的句子更有意思一点吧。
Seen what the weather's doing tomorrow?
Notice again that we've dropped the standard question structure here and it's common in English, in informal conversations just to drop the structure of a question and just use intonation to signal it.
你看了明天天气怎么样吗？注意哦，我们在这里也是没有用标准的问句结构，这在英语中非常常见，在非正式对话中省略掉问句的结构，用语调来表示这是个问句。
Know what the weather's doing tomorrow? Heard what the weather's doing tomorrow?
你知道明天天气会怎么样吗？你知道明天天气会怎么样吗？
Our intonation is going up to signal the question. So when you write or you use formal language, you definitely should use the full structure.
我们的语调会上扬，表明这是个问句。当你们写作或者是使用正式语言的时候，你们肯定是应该使用完整的结构的。
Have you seen what the weather is doing tomorrow? But in informal spoken English, it's really, really common to just drop it completely.
你看了明天天气怎么样吗？但是在非正式英语口语中，把它给完全省掉是非常非常常见的。
Wonderful work guys so let's change it up a little now. We want to mix this sentence up.
朋友们真的很赞啊，让我们稍作一点改变吧。我们想要把这个句子给混合一下。
What's the weather looking like over the weekend? What's the weather like over the weekend?
周末天气怎么样？周末天气怎么样？
What's the weather like over the weekend? Any good? So this question is "Is it any good?" or "Does it look any good?"
周末天气怎么样？还好吗？问题是‘还好吗？’或者是‘看起来还可以吗？’
What's the weather like on the weekend? Any good? What's the weather doing on the weekend? Any good?
周末天气怎么样？还好吗？周末天气怎么样？还好吗？
What a workout guys! Well done for making it all the way through to the very, very end.
Let's just get something clear here, I did not make this lesson for you to watch it once and then walk away and forget about it.
这次锻炼也太棒了吧，朋友们！坚持到最后真的要为你们竖起大拇指。让我们再来强调一下，我做这节课程并不是为了让你们看一次之后就再也不管，完全忘记这节课了。
This is your training okay? You need to come back and practise with me often, alright?
这是大家的训练，对吗？你们需要时不时地回来和我一起练习，对吧？
As much as you can so save it to a playlist along with some of my imitation lessons for your full mouth daily workout okay?
If you want to sound like a native English speaker, you've got to get comfortable using these contractions and reductions just like we've practised all the way through this lesson.
你们可以把它收藏到播放清单里面，还有我的其他的模仿课程，来进行完整的每日口语训练，好吗？如果你们想要听起来更像是英语母语者的话，你们需要非常舒适自然地使用连读和略读，就像我们今天在课程中练习的一样。
Now I'm curious to hear what you thought about our first English Conversation Workout here at mmmEnglish. Was it helpful for you to practise this way?
我很好奇，想要听一下大家在美味英语频道的第一节英语对话训练的感受。这样练习对你们而言有用吗？
