Hello.
你好 。
I\'m Gill from engVid, and today\'s lesson is about the little word \" the\" , and how to say it, how to pronounce it.
我是engVid的吉尔，今天的课程是关于“the”这个小单词，以及如何去正确地发“the”的音 。
You might think: \" What? I know how to pronounce that word\" , but there are two different ways of pronouncing it, and this lesson is designed to show you how to work out which way to say it.
你可能会想:“什么?我当然知道这个词怎么发音\"，但实际上它有两种不同的发音方法，这节课的目的是教会你们怎样去发音 。
So, the simple rule is: Before a consonant you say \" thuh\" , but before a vowel sound you say \" thee\" .
所以，规则很简单:the在辅音前发音“thuh”，但如果the后接元音，则发音“thee” 。
So it\'s either \" thuh\" or \" thee\" .
所以the的发音只有“thuh”和“thee”两种 。
So, let me just go through some examples to show you how that works.
让我来给你们举一些实用的例子吧 。
So, before a consonant sound: \" thuh\" . \" The banana\" , \" the dog\" , but then we get our first exception, which is confusing because this word begins with an E which is a vowel letter, but the way it\'s pronounced, it has a \" ya\" at the beginning: \" Ya. European. European\" , so we say: \" Thuh European\" , okay?
the在辅音前发音是“thuh” 。比如“香蕉banana”，“狗dog”，但我们来看看第一个特例，因为这个单词以“E”作为“the”之后单词的首字母，“E”是一个元音字母，但在这个单词里它发音为“ya（辅音）”，所以我们发音“thuh European”，明白了吗？
So that\'s a slight confusion to be aware of.
这是需要特别注意、可能有点迷惑的地方 。
Continuing on: \" The flowers\" , \" the house\" , \" the man\" , \" the people\" .
我们继续：\"Thuh flowers\", \"thuh house\", \"thuh man\", \"thuh people\".
Another exception again because this word begins with a U, which is a vowel letter, but the actual sound when you say this sound is a \" ya\" , \" university\" , \" university\" .
另一个例外，因为这个单词以U开头，U也是一个元音字母，但实际上单词里的U发音“ya”,\"University\", \"University\" 。
It\'s not: \" university\" , it\'s \" university\" . So: \" thUH university\" , okay?
不是 \"UNiversity\"，是 \"University\"，所以我们发音\"thuh university\",懂了吗？
And finally: \" The woman, the woman\" .
最后，\"The woman, the woman\" 。
So that\'s \" the\" before a consonant sound.
以上就是“the”后接辅音开头单词的例子 。
So, let\'s have a look at the other column.
那么，让我们看一下另一列 。
Before the vowel sound we say \" thee\" , so: \" The apple\" , \" the elephant\" , \" the ice cream\" , \" the orange\" , \" the umbrella\" .
在“the”接元音发音之前，我们说“thee”，所以:\"Thee apple\", \"thee elephant\", \"thee ice cream\",
You can see here \" umbrella\" also begins with a U, just like \" university\" , but it\'s not pronounced: \" yumbrella\" , it\'s pronounced: \" umbrella\" , so: \" thee umbrella, the umbrella\" .
看这里， \"umbrella\" 也以U开头，和 \"university\"一样，但并不发音为\"yumbrella\",念作 \"UMbrella\",所以\"thee umbrella, thee umbrella\" 。
Okay.
好的 。
And finally, here\'s another funny one, it begins with an H, so you might think: \" Well, that\'s a consonant\" , but it is actually a vowel sound because we don\'t pronounce the H in this word.
最后，这里有个有趣的例子，这个单词以\"H\"开头，也许你会想“唔，这是个辅音开头的单词”，但实际上这是元音发音开头的单词，因为“H”不发音 。
You may know the word \" heir\" , which we had in another lesson about using \" a\" and \" an\" .
你也许还记得“继承heir”这个单词，我们在关于“a”和“an”的课程上提到过 。
The heir is usually, well, male, and the heiress, female; but often the word \" heir\" is used for female as well nowadays for reasons of equality.
The heir通常指男性继承人，而the heiress指女继承人；但如今 \"heir\"这个单词，也同样用来指女性继承人了，以显男女平等 。
So, but: \" the heiress\" , \" e\" , so it\'s an \" e\" , \" heiress\" , so that\'s a vowel sound, so: \" the heiress\" .
但 \"the heiress\"，开头发音\"e\", 所以是元音字母开头发音“e”,所以，“thee heiress” 。
Okay?
明白了吗？
So that\'s another one to remember, along with the \" ya\" sound here.
这又是一个需要特别记忆的点，和这里的“ya”一样 。
So, it\'s purely the way you say it which decides whether it\'s \" thuh\" or \" thee\" .
