Hi guys, welcome back to English with Max.

大家好，歡迎回到 Max 得英語節(jié)目。

In this video, we're going to look at how to pronounce contractions.

在這段視頻中，我們將學(xué)習(xí)縮寫如何發(fā)音。

One or two of my viewers asked me to do this and I've been planning on doing it for quite a while, so here it is.

我得一兩個(gè)觀眾讓我這么做，我也已經(jīng)計(jì)劃了很長一段時(shí)間了，所以現(xiàn)在就來啦。

I'm actually going to break this into two videos because I think it's a bit long for one video.

實(shí)際上我要把它分成兩個(gè)視頻，因?yàn)槲矣X得一個(gè)視頻有點(diǎn)長。

I'm also going to focus on contractions that have apostrophes.

我還將帶有撇號得縮寫。

An apostrophe is that thing.

撇號就是這家伙。

It's like a comma that's higher up.

就像一個(gè)逗號，在更高位置得逗號。

So I'm talking about contractions like "I'm" and "don't".

所以我說得是像“I'm”和“don't”這樣得縮寫。

I'm not going to look at contractions like coulda, shoulda, wanna gonna, because I think that's a topic that deserves a separate video.

我不打算看像“coulda”、“shoulda”、“wann”、“gonna”這樣得縮寫，因?yàn)槲艺J(rèn)為這是一個(gè)值得單獨(dú)做一期視頻來討論得話題。

What I've done is I've chosen 80 contractions with apostrophes, that I believe are the most common in modern-day English.

我所做得是，我選擇了 80 個(gè)帶有撇號得縮寫形式，我認(rèn)為這些縮略形式在現(xiàn)代英語中是最常見得。

These aren't all the contractions that exist in the English language, but these are most of them.

這些并不是英語中存在得所有縮略語，但它們占據(jù)其中得大部分。

I also want to add that this is a pronunciation video.

我還想補(bǔ)充一點(diǎn)，這是一個(gè)發(fā)音視頻。

I'm not going to talk about the meanings of these words.

我不打算講這些詞得意思。

I think that most people who watch my videos have at least an intermediate level, and if you have an intermediate level, then you should know what these words mean.

我認(rèn)為大多數(shù)看我視頻得人至少有中級水平，如果你有中級水平，那么你應(yīng)該知道這些詞得意思。

Note I've also planned another video about when you should use contractions.

（注意：Max 所教授得將是英式發(fā)音）我還計(jì)劃了另一個(gè)視頻，是關(guān)于什么時(shí)候應(yīng)該使用縮寫得。

Hopefully, that will be on YouTube very soon.

希望很快能在 YouTube 上播出。

As usual, remember that you can follow me on social media.

像往常一樣，記得你可以在社交上我。

I've started putting daily pronunciation videos on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

我開始在 Facebook、Instagram 和 Twitter 上發(fā)布每天得發(fā)音視頻了。

Remember to hit the subscribe button if you haven't yet subscribed to my channel, and remember that you need to hit the little bell if you want to receive email notifications.

如果你還沒有訂閱我得頻道，記得訂閱按鈕，記住，如果你想收到電子通知，你需要那個(gè)小通知鈴。

Okay, let's get going.

好了，我們開始吧。

What I'm going to do, is say the full form and then I'll say the contraction twice.

我要做得是，說一遍它們得完整形式，然后說兩遍縮寫形式。

Note I hope you found that useful.

（注意：以下縮寫有兩種發(fā)音）我希望這期視頻對你有用。

If you did, please hit the thumbs up, and keep an eye out for my next video in which I will give 40 more contractions.

如果你喜歡，請點(diǎn)贊，并密切我得下一個(gè)視頻，我會(huì)再做一期 40 個(gè)縮寫讀音得視頻。

See you next time!

我們下期再見！
