错误二：搞混元音

This has been interesting. I have two friends.One person, a girl, is named Danielle, and the other, a

boy, is named Daniel.Many times my friends, who aren't native speakers of English, have a hard

time distinguishing who's name I just said in conversation. Perhaps you would to! No worries, but it

does make things a little funny.

我有两个朋友，一个叫Danielle的女孩，另一个是叫Daniel的男孩。很多时候，我许多非英语为母语的朋友就

会搞混这两个名字。可能你也会。这个没什么的，大家不要担心。虽然它确实让我们这些老外觉得挺有趣

的。

Danielle [dænˈjel]vs Daniel ['dænjəl]

Syllable Stress is different

重读位置不一样

Consonants/e/vs /ə/

Warrior vs Werrior (à "Werrior" is not a real word in English.)

['wɔriər] vs [‘hweriər]

Consonants/ɔ/vs /e/

So, your English-speaking friends aren't crazy when they say that these sounds are different. For

example, you understand that sounds /u/and are different /ü/. It turns out that many monolingual

Americans can't distinguish these sounds very well, and they often have trouble saying them as well.

当你的外国朋友说这些发音是不一样的时候，不要觉得他们是疯了哦。比如长元音的/u/和短元音的/ü/就是

不一样的。很多只会说英语的美国人也不是很能理解这两个发音的区别，他们也经常在这上面犯错误。

It is a matter of ear training and learning how to make the sounds with your mouth.

想要发好这些音的话，必须大量“磨耳朵”，同时加强练习。

错误三：用错单词形式

This was kind of hard to believe, but I was on bing.com and the bing robot chat box was open on my search results and it was asking me a question, "Are people so curiosity?"

这点很让人难以置信，但是它确实存在。有一次我在必应上搜索问题，它的搜索结果突然弹出了这样一个问

题："Are people so curiosity?"

What's wrong with this question? Curiosity is a noun! They meant to ask was, "Are people so

curious?" Where curious is used in its proper form as an adjective.

这句话有什么问题呢？"Curiosity"是一个名词。本来要问的应该是"Are people so curious? 这里的正确形式

应该是用"Curiosity"的形容词"curious"。

I have high standards for robots—how could they have programmed it incorrectly? However, I try to be a bit more lenient and forgiving with people. Curious, curiosity, curiously…unless you are familiar with these words, it's a bit difficult to remember when to use these words.

我对于机器人向来是有高要求的——它们怎么可以被错误编程呢？善良如我，试着对犯错的人保持仁慈宽容

的态度。Curious, curiosity, curiously，除非你对于这些单词了然于胸，不然正确地记住它们的使用规则还是

有点困难。

Perhaps it's better to think of these words as performing a function, rather than just memorizing

their forms.

最好是思考它们在语境中所扮演的作用，而不是仅仅记住它们的形式。

E.g.Curiosity is an important human characteristic.(noun)

好奇心是人类一项重要的品质。（名词）

E.g. He is a curious person. (adjective)

他是一个充满好奇心的人。（形容词）

E.g. He stared at her curiously wondering what she was thinking. (adverb)

他充满好奇地盯着她看，想知道她到底在想什么？
