商务英语单词怎么学

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to English with Lucy.

Today, we're going to talk about business English pronunciation.

大家好，各位，欢迎回到跟着Lucy学英语。

今天我要谈论商务英语发音。

I'm going to start off by talking to you about 10 commonly mispronounced business words.

Then I'll talk to you about the simple trick you can use to find out how to pronounce any word.

我要先给你们讲解10个经常被读错的商务英语单词。

然后我会跟你们谈一谈你们能够用来弄清楚任何单词读法的简单技巧。

We will also discuss which accent you should use for business English, the British accent or the American accent?

And, finally, I will give you five tips for improving your pronunciation in general.

我们还会讨论你应该用哪种口音来说商务英语，英式英语还是美式英语呢？

最后我要给你们5个能够整体改善你们发音的建议。

Let's get started.

The first commonly mispronounced business word is data.

我们开始吧。

第一个常被读错的商务单词就是data，数据。

Data. Note that in American English, they say data, so the vowel sound is different.

数据。请注意在美式英语里他们读的是data，元音不同。

This means facts or information, especially when examined and used to find things out or to make decisions.

For example, the data was collected from three countries.

这个词的意思是事实或信息，尤指被检视并用来寻找事物或做出决定。

比如，从三个国家收集了数据。

Number two is prerogative. Prerogative.

第二个词是特权。特权。

This is a right or advantage belonging to a particular person or group because of their importance or social position.

For example, in many countries, education is still the prerogative of the rich.

这个词的意思是属于某个特定的人或集体的权利或优势，因为它们的重要性或社会地位。

比如，在很多国家，教育仍然是有钱人的特权。

Number three, liable. Liable.

第三个词，负有偿付责任的。负有偿付责任的。

This means legally responsible for paying the cost of something.

For example, you'll be liable for any damage caused.

这个词的意思是在法律意义上需要支付某物的花费。

比如，你将对任何发生的损害负责。

Number four is prestigious. Prestigious.

第四个词是有声望的。有声望的。

This means respected and admired as very important or of very high quality. For example, a prestigious award or a prestigious university.

这个词的意思是被当做非常重要或具有高品质的事物而被尊重和欣赏。

比如，一项有声望的奖项或一所有声望的大学。

Number five is often. Often.

第五个词是经常。经常。

You may also hear it pronounced as often. Often.

你可能还听到它被读作of-ten。Of-ten。

But this is less common and less accepted. Often means many times.

但是这种读法不那么常见，接受度也不高。经常的意思是指很多次。

For example, I often arrive to work early.

Number six is remuneration.

比如，我经常提前上班。

第六个词是薪资。

Remuneration. You will hear so many native speakers get this wrong and call this renumeration, but it should be remuneration.

薪资。你可能会听到非常多的母语者把这个词读错，把它读成 renumeration，但是应该是remuneration。

This means an amount of money that someone is paid for the work that they've done.

For example, generous remuneration packages are offered in this position.

这个词的意思是某人因为他们从事的工作而得到的一定量的钱。

比如，这个职位的薪资方案很丰厚。

Number seven, respite. Respite.

第七个词，暂缓。暂缓。

Sometimes in the U. S. , you will hear this pronounced respit. Respit.

有时候在美国，你会听到这个词被读作repit。Respit。

This is a short break or escape from something difficult or unpleasant.

For example, there will be no respite from this project.

这个词的意思是从某个困难或令人不愉快的事情中获得短暂的休息或逃离。

比如，这个项目刻不容缓。

Number eight is Espresso. Espresso, commonly mispronounced.

第八个词是浓缩咖啡。浓缩咖啡，经常被读错。

People say expresso. Well, that's wrong.

人们会读作expresso。嗯，这样的读法是错误的。

An espresso, you probably know what it is, but it's a strong black coffee made by forcing steam or boiling water through ground coffee.

For example, I'll need four espressos to get me through today.

一杯浓缩咖啡，你可能知道它的意思，不过它指的是很浓的黑咖啡，把蒸汽或开水冲进研磨咖啡中。

比如，我需要四杯浓缩咖啡来让自己挺过今天。

Number nine is frustrate. To frustrate.

第九个词是使失望。使失望。

Be really careful with that first R sound, frustrate.

This means to make somebody feel annoyed or impatient because they can't do or achieve what they want.

请一定注意第一个r的发音，frustrate。

这个词的意思是让某人感到生气或不耐烦，因为他们无法做或无法达成他们想做的事。

For example, I'm frustrated about the lack of management here.

And the last one, number 10, is pronunciation.

比如，我对这里的管理缺失感到失望。

最后一个，第十个词，是发音。

Pronunciation, commonly mispronounced as pronounciation, which is wrong.

This is the way in which a language or a particular word or sound is pronounced.

发音，经常被错读成pronounciation，这是错误的。

这个词的意思是某种语言或某个特定的词或声音被读的方式。

For example, her pronunciation of the technical terms was impressive.

So those were 10 commonly mispronounced words.

比如，她对于技术术语的发音令人印象深刻。

以上就是10个经常被读错的单词。

Now I'm going to teach you a trick that you can use to find out how to pronounce any word.

Something that often causes a lot of anxiety for both native and non-native workers is the pronunciation of technical terms.

现在我要教你们一个可以用来找到任何单词读音的小技巧。

经常让母语者和非母语者工作者感到焦虑的一件事就是技术术语的发音。

Mispronouncing something can be so embarrassing.

It makes it look like you don't know what you're talking about, when, in reality, it might just be that you've come across the term many times but only written down.

错误的发音有时候非常令人尴尬。

它让你看上去好像不知道自己在说什么，事实上你见过这个术语很多次，只不过是以书面的形式而已。

I have a trick that will show you how to pronounce any technical term in both a British and an American accent at the click of a button.

It's the Oxford Learner's Dictionary, and it is the best pronunciation tool I've found.

我有一个小技巧能够向你展示任何技术术语的英式和美式读法，只需要点击一下按钮就可以做到。那就是牛津学习者词典，这是我找到的最棒的发音工具。

For virtually, every word, they include the international phonetic alphabet transcription for both British pronunciation and American pronunciation, along with their corresponding pronunciation recordings. Virtually.

比如virtually这个词，以及每个词，它们都囊括了英式发音和美式发音的国际音标，以及对应的发音录音。Virtually。

Virtually. It's a tool I've spoken about a lot on my channel because it offers so much to learners of English.

Virtually。我在我的频道里多次提到过这个工具，因为它给英语学习者提供了非常多的学习内容。

And they have loads of other features. They'll show you the collocations, the etymology of a word.

而且它们还有许多其它的特色。它们会给你展示某个单词的搭配和词源。

That's the origin of a word. And also the full word family for so many words.

也就是一个单词的来源。还有很多单词的完整的词族。

（词族指的是拥有相同结尾音，即押尾韵的，并且词尾由相同的字母组合而成的一组单词。）

Honestly, I have tried so many websites, and this is the one I always go to.

I use it to plan my videos.

老实说，我试过很多网站，而这个是我总是会用的。

我用它来规划我的视频。

I love it, and I think it's the best.

Now, I'm going to talk to you about a common question, which is which accent should I learn?

我很喜欢它，而且我认为它是最好的。

那么我要跟你们谈论一个常见的问题，那就是我该学习那种口音呢？

Should I learn the British English accent or the American English accent if I want to go into business?

I'm also going to talk to you about whether or not you should get rid of your own accent.

如果我要从事商业相关的工作，那么我应该学英式英语口音还是美式英语口音呢？

我还要跟你们谈论你是否应该摆脱你自己的口音。

A common question that I receive a lot is which accent should I learn?

And it's usually someone deciding between American or British.

我经常收到的一个问题就是我应该学习哪种口音？

而且往往就是在美式英语和英式英语中选择。

My answer to this is simple. It does not matter.

我的答案很简单。这没关系。

What matters is clear pronunciation.

I've spent time in the offices of many multinational companies, like Google and Facebook, and I'm always impressed by the diversity of accents.

重要的是发音要清晰。

我在很多跨国公司的办公室里待过很久，比如谷歌和脸书，而我总是会因为口音的多样性而印象深刻。

You should learn the accent that you like best or the accent that you come across most.

I've asked people before if they've spent time in America because they are speaking English with an American accent, and they reply that they just watch a lot of American TV shows.

你应该学习你最喜欢的口音或者你遇到的最多的口音。

我曾经问过一些人他们是否在美国待过，因为他们说的英语带有美国口音，而他们回答说他们只是看了很多美国电视节目而已。

I also get asked by students if they should reduce or get rid of their accent.

I would never want anyone to feel ashamed of their accent or under pressure to get rid of it.

我还被学生问过他们是否应该减少或摆脱他们的口音。

我不希望任何人为自己的口音感到羞愧，或处于要摆脱它们的压力之下。

All that matters is clear pronunciation. Don't reduce your accent, improve your pronunciation.

最重要的就是清晰的发音。不要减弱你的口音，改善你的发音。

In the next part of the video, I'm going to give you five tips for improving your pronunciation.

My first tip for improving your pronunciation is focus on your listening because listening and speaking go hand in hand.

在本视频的下个环节，我要给你们五个改善发音的建议。

我的第一个改善发音的建议就是专注于你的听力，因为听和说是同步的。

I often advise my students to listen to audiobooks or, even better, listen to audiobooks and read the real book at the same time.

Once you know how a word is supposed to sound, as pronounced by a native, you'll be more likely to be able to reproduce that sound yourself.

我经常建议我的学生们听有声书或者，更好的是，听有声书的同时看实体书。

一旦你知道一个单词该如何发音，像母语者一样发音，那么你就更有可能自己发出那个声音。

Number two is film and record yourself speaking in English. I absolutely love this tip.

第二个建议就是拍摄并记录你自己说英语。我非常喜欢这个建议。

It's quite hard to bring yourself to do it, but it is so effective.

You probably won't realise how many pronunciation mistakes you are making until you hear or see yourself.

要想让自己这么做真的很难，但是这个很有效。

直到听到自己或看到自己说，你可能不会意识到自己会犯多少发音错。

It can be quite shocking, but it gives you a lot to work on. If you record yourself consistently over a long period of time, you can see how you improve, and that can be really motivating.

它可能会很让人吃惊，但是它会让你做很多事情。

如果你记录自己说英语坚持很长一段时间，你就能够看到自己的进步，而且会很有动力。

My third tip is to schedule in time with a native speaker or a professional teacher.

They can take a closer look at where you are going wrong and will bring out parts of your speech that you don't even realise aren't correct.

我的第三个建议就是跟一个母语者或专业老师安排时间学习。

他们会近距离了解你哪里有问题，然后会找出你自己都没有意识到的语言错误。

Sometimes, just one hour is enough to completely overhaul your pronunciation.

My fourth tip is to watch and study somebody who you would like to sound like.

有时候仅仅一个小时就足够改造你的发音了。

我的第四个建议就是观察并研究你想要跟他有一样发音的人说话。

For example, I really admire Stephen Fry, and I really enjoy how he speaks, so I try to watch him whenever I can, and I take inspiration from him.

You should find someone that you like listening to and try and do the same.

比如，我非常欣赏史蒂芬·福莱，而且我很喜欢听他说话，所以我尽可能地观察他，然后我会从他身上获得灵感。

你应该找一个你喜欢的人，去听他的声音然后效仿。

Number five, possibly the biggest tip that I'm going to give you, so listen carefully, it's to study and master the IPA, the International Phonetic Alphabet.

If you want to achieve perfect English pronunciation, then you need to master each consonant, each vowel and each diphthong.

第五个建议，也许是我要给你们的最重要的建议，所以请仔细听，那就是学习并掌握国际音标。

如果你想要拥有完美的英语发音，那么你需要掌握每一个辅音、元音和双元音的读法。

You have to know every single one.

Okay, different nationalities will find pronouncing different phonemes harder than others.

你必须每一个都弄清楚。

好的，不同国家的人会发现发出不同的音素比其它的要难。

But if you really dedicate yourself to it, there is no reason why you shouldn't master the IPA.

After that, you'll be able to read any transcription and know how to pronounce any word, even without the help of the Oxford Learner's Dictionary.

但是如果你真的投入去做，那么你就没有理由不去掌握国际音标。

那之后你就能够阅读任何书面文本，并且会发任何单词，即使没有牛津学习者词典的帮助也可以。
