5y10m: 米粒自然發音教室

這星期米粒要教大家的四個發音：

a_e 發音「ㄟ」：make a cake
ay 發音「ㄟ」：May I play
i_e發音「ㄞ」：nice smile
igh發音「ㄞ」：fly high

看影片前先幫大家不專業解釋一下米粒的用詞

🔺Digraph: 兩個字母連在一起發一個音。
ay: 發音ㄟ, may/ play

🔺Split digraph: 結尾是e, 單字最後兩個母音(a, e, i, o, u)被一個子音分開。

最後一個字母e為magic e, 它會讓前面那個母音的發音變成長音，是什麼字母就發什麼音。
如下：中間空格部分夾一個子音

a_e發音ㄟ～make/ came/ gate
e_e發音異～delete/ these/ Pete
i_e 發音ㄞ～smile/ five/ slide
o_e 發音歐～joke/ globe/ rose
u_e 發音you~ cute/ June/ tube

🔺Trigraph: 三個字母連在一起發一個音。
igh 發音ㄞ：high/ sigh/ night

了解後開始看影片吧⋯希望你們喜歡米粒的英文教室頻道💗

1. Check the name(s) and e-mail address(es) of the recipient(s)s ​
檢查收件人的名稱和電郵地址 ​ ​
一間大公司可能有三四個John 五六個Iris ​
究竟係send畀John Chan 定係 Johnny Chan ​
Jennifer Ma 定係Jenny McKinney ​ ​
千祈要check清楚啦 ​
​
對外 Send 錯畀客人 洩漏咗客人/公司嘅機密 當然後果嚴重​
對內 Send錯畀同公司嘅同事 其實都係好大鑊 ​
有啲文件可能只限公司某部門的同事查閱 ​
所以一定要小心選擇收件人 ​
If you use Outlook, type the first name or surname, then press Ctrl+K to get the email address.​
But do double check to make sure that is the correct recipient.​
​
2. Subject line - clearly spell out what the email is about ​
說明電郵目的 或 主題 將最關鍵資料 放在主題內 ​
電郵標題經常被忽視，但這一點至關重要，方便日後查找相關訊息，一目了然 。 ​
Subeject: ​ Re: re: re: re: re: re:…. ​
Subject: ​ Pls come in ​
Subjecct: ​ Let's talk ​
已經re咗幾十次 不如Delete Re: ​
重新寫過合適嘅標題 ​
等大家都清楚知道呢個電郵係講啲咩 ​
​
參考以下例子 ​
• Team name​

• [Urgent] Catering arrangement for lunch seminar ​
• [Approval required] *Final draft* Info Security Policy ​
• Sales report for Q1-Q2 2020​
​
3. Proofread the content - check the grammar and punctuation ​
核對電郵內容 ​ 文法 串字 標點符號 ​
- Don't just rely on spellcheck; make sure you're using the correct tenses ​
- Punctuation (question mark, comma, full-stop) ​
- Capitalization​
​
"DO NOT USE ALL CAPS. THESE MAKE IT SEEM LIKE YOU ARE SHOUTING AT THE RECIPIENT."​
​
大寫在書面英文中意味着強調和嚴肅​
用全部大寫用 ​
讓人覺得不禮貌​
​
4. Attachment and links - make sure they work ​
確保附件及連結沒有錯漏 ​ ​
- Don't forget to attach the documents in correct version and format ​

​

有人話我唔應該恥笑陳偉霆啲英文。就咁，我已經話過，佢紅唔係因為英文好，我接受，我係唔明 Chanel 廣告團隊點俾呢段片喺冇修正下出街。我亦唔係針對口音問題，係發音錯誤。之但係William 哥讀 St Jo 再加耀中，都幾名校出身。

講起名校，以下落黎呢位就最把炮。拔萃、普林斯頓、哈佛、賓州，我睇係香港高官裡面最高學歷嗰位。點知，我發現佢英文水平好水皮。近日佢喺立法會講咗段英文，瀨曬嘢：

//As I have said in the opening statement in Chinese, we have always upheld our political neutrality. Over the past many many years ever since the secretariat has come into existence, we have always worked against this principle. We have dealt with very controversial issues. We always endeavour to use our best professional judgement and independent thinking to serve the Council and all its committees. What we have done last Friday was to issue a letter to the Security Bureau hoping to clarify a number of questions relating to the details of the Bill. As everybody would understand from those list of questions, those details are important to be orally thought through. //

錯誤百出：

Political neutrality - not po-litical. 我會拍一段正確發音片段解釋。

Worked against this principle. - 佢癲咗，話秘書處一直反對政治中立呢個原則。佢係想講 worked according to this principle. 反轉咗黎講，自打嘴巴，呢個高官level，實在係seven。

'Over the past many many years... 港式英語 「過去好多好多年」。英文角度黎講係又多餘 (redundant) 又繁瑣 （cumbersome)。Delete。

Very controversial - very not fery. 香港人有發唔到 v 音邊漏風嘅 f 音問題。必須狠狠地咬住下唇。Con-troversial is wrong. 我會拍片解釋該如何發音。

'Those list' is grammatically wrong。係 those lists。單數複數都未識分。

'Orally thought through' makes no sense。呢個唔係語言問題係邏輯問題。翻譯成中文：「口頭考慮一下」。啲官究竟係想點....

唔想好似佢咁（我唔認為係佢嘅語言問題咁簡單。佢個腦有問題），請盡快聯絡我。PM我你嘅電話及名，我會今個禮拜或最遲下禮拜將新英式英文口語課程嘅資料俾你。我地會做一對一練習！

六月開波。
