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.
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.
