如何进行学习的英语表达
So, the word "help" is really important to every language, really. We're always asking for help for something in our lives.
Help（帮助）这个词对每种语言都很重要，真的。我们总是为生活中的某些事情寻求帮助。
So, it's quite important to understand the different ways we can ask for help in English. There are many different phrases, expressions, words that we can use just to simply ask for some assistance, some help.
因此，了解我们用英语寻求帮助的不同方式是非常重要的。我们可以用很多不同的短语、表达和单词来寻求帮助。
So, today that is what we will be looking at as well as how to actually use your intonation and pronunciation to actually sound like you need help and not to sound like a robot. Let's do it.
所以，这就是今天我们要学习的内容，以及如何使用你的语调和发音，让你听起来像需要帮助，而不是像一个机器人。我们开始吧。
Hi, everybody. It's Elliott from ETJ English and welcome to another British English lesson. But really today is a lesson about all English.
大家好，我是来自 ETJ English 频道的埃利奥特，欢迎来到另一节英式英语课程。但今天的课是关于所有的英语的。
People from all different countries will use these phrases to ask for help. Firstly, let's take a look at the word "help".
来自不同国家的人都会用这些短语来寻求帮助。首先，让我们看看 help 这个词。
I think it's important that we know how to pronounce it. The first thing we need to look at is the letter H, so the /h/ sound at the beginning.
我认为我们知道它如何发音很重要。首先我们要看看字母 H，开头的/h/音。
It depends what country you're from, but many native languages have a problem with putting too much tightness in the throat and it can become more a /hʌ/ sound. So, it's very important not to over-exaggerate this sound. It's a very soft, very relaxed sound in English.
这取决于你来自哪个国家，但很多其他母语的人都会把喉咙收得太紧，发出来的音可能更像一个/hʌ/音。不要过分夸大这个发音是非常重要的。这是一个非常柔和，非常轻松的英语发音。
So, just softly release the sound, /h/, "help", okay? So, that's the first thing.
只要轻轻地发出这个音，/h/，help。这是第一个音。
The second sound is an /e/ sound, like in my name "Elliott". The tongue is in the middle of the mouth.
第二个音是一个/e/音，就像我的名字 Elliott 里面的那个音。舌头放在嘴巴中间。
We're slightly smiling and that's because the tongue is at the front of the mouth. Okay? When the tongue comes to the front of the mouth the lips will spread slightly.
我们微微一笑，那是因为舌头位于嘴的前部。好。当舌头伸到嘴的前部时，嘴唇会微微张开。
Look at my face, my tongue is in the middle area of my mouth at the front, /e/, /e/, /he/, /he/. Now, this is where it starts to get difficult.
看我的脸，我的舌头在我嘴巴的正前部，/e/，/e/，/he/，/he/。接下来就变得困难了。
We have the dark L. So, in English, we have the light L, /l/, in words like "light", and we have the dark L in words like "help".
这是一个浊音 L。在英语中，我们有清音 L，/l/，例如单词 light，我们还有浊音 L，例如单词 help。
So, with the light L, the tongue is pushing up against the top of the mouth and then it flicks down to create a /l/, /l/, right? But the dark L, we're not doing that movement, we're just keeping the tongue at the top of the mouth and the sound is more like an /l/, /l/, /hel/, /hel/.
发清音 L 的时候，舌头向上顶着上颚，然后向下弹，形成一个/l/音，/l/。但是发浊音 L 时，舌头就不是这样运动了，我们只是把舌头放在上颚，听起来就像/l/，/l/，/hel/，/hel/。
And then, we finish with a nice /p/, /p/, /p/ sound. So, push your lips together and release the sound, /p/, /help/, /help/.
然后，以一个/p/音结尾，/p/。把嘴唇合在一起，释放声音，/p/，/help/，/help/。
Now, I don't usually recommend just shouting this word at someone because it can sound rude unless you are in an emergency in public. So, let's say you're in public, there are people around but they don't know about something really dreadful that's just happened.
我通常不建议对别人喊这个词，因为它听起来很粗鲁，除非你是在公共场合遇到紧急情况。假设你在公共场合，周围有很多人但他们不知道刚刚发生的可怕的事情。
Maybe somebody just stole your wallet or your purse or your bag. Then, what you're going to do is probably shout the word "help".
也许有人偷了你的钱包或包包。然后，你要做的可能就是喊“救命”。
Now, you don't just want to say "help", "help", because what happens there is it sounds very flat. There's no tone and people will not hear the sense of emergency.
那么，不要这样喊“救命”，“救命”，因为它听起来很平淡。没有语调，人们不会听出紧急的感觉。
To create a sense of emergency, we need to use an emotional tone. We would call this a rise and fall tone or an up-down tone.
要制造紧急感，我们需要把感情喊出来。我们把它称为升降调。
So, instead of being "help", it would be "help", "help", up, down. This tone is really important to English.
不要就说“救命”，而是“救命”，“救命”，上，下。语调对英语来说非常重要。
It creates effect; it creates emotion. It's a very very powerful tone and it's one which most students who join my course do not use.
它创造了效果，创造了感情。这是一个非常有力的语调，也是大多数参加我课程的学生都没有使用的语调。
So, again, that would be in an emergency if you needed to shout for help, "help!" Okay? Up, down.
那么，如果你在紧急情况下需要求助的时候就那样喊，“救命！”懂了吗？上，下。
Obviously, don't go around practising this on a train or in a public place because people will think that you're being killed or attacked in the streets. Make sure you practice this in the comfort of your own home.
显然，不要在火车上或公共场所练习这个语调，因为人们会认为你在街上被杀害或袭击了。一定要在自己舒适的家里练习。
But now, we know how to shout for help, now it's important to maybe ask for help in different ways, maybe in the workplace or from a friend in a particular situation. So, here are a few useful phrases for you which should be able to help in different situations.
现在，我们知道如何大声呼救，现在重要的是，也许可以用不同的方式寻求帮助，也许是在工作中，也许是在特定情况下向朋友寻求帮助。这里有一些有用的短语，在不同的情况下应该能帮到你。
Firstly, probably one I use the most. Um. This is more in a work situation.
首先，这个可能是我用得最多的。嗯。这更像是在工作场合用的。
Let's say there is someone who I need some time from. So, maybe I'm working on something but I need someone to dedicate a bit of time to me.
假设我需要找一个人帮我一下。例如，也许我在做什么，但我需要有人花点时间帮我一下。
I need them to help me for a little bit. Maybe it's a manager, someone higher than me, or someone who has some really good knowledge on something which I'm working on.
我需要别人帮一下。也许是一个经理，一个比我职位高的人，或者一个对我正在做的事情非常了解的人。
I would actually say to them their name. So, let's say their name is John.
我会叫他们的名字。例如，他叫约翰。
I could say, "John, could I borrow you for a sec?" "Could I borrow you for a sec?"
我会说：“约翰，我能借你一秒钟吗？”“我能借你一秒钟吗？”
Firstly, SEC. Um. Some of you might be wondering what does SEC mean.
首先，SEC。有些人可能想知道 SEC 是什么意思。
It's a short version of "second". It's very very common for us to say this.
它是 second（秒）的缩写。我们经常这样用。
Even nowadays, in formal situations, it's okay to say SEC. But if you are worried, feel free to say "second".
即使现在，在正式场合中，说 SEC 都是没问题的。但如果你担心，那就用 second 吧。
So, "John, could I borrow you for a second?" "Borrow", that means can I take you and keep you for, you know, for a few seconds or a few minutes.
“约翰，我能借你一秒钟吗？”"借"的意思是我能不能让你停留几秒钟或几分钟。
When we say SEC or "second", we don't mean one second, obviously. As an English speaker, generally that could mean anywhere between, I don't know, 10 seconds all the way up to 20 minutes.
当我们说 SEC 或“秒”时，我们显然不是指一秒。作为一个英语母语者，一般来说，这可能意味着在十秒到二十分钟之间。
So, don't take that too seriously. So, "Could I borrow you for a sec?"
所以不要真的以为是一秒。“我能借你一秒钟吗？”
Notice how I'm pronouncing "for a". I'm not saying "can I borrow you/could I borrow you for/fɔː/ a/ə/ sec?", I'm saying "for-a/fərə/ sec".
注意我说 for a 的方式。我不是在说 can I borrow you/could I borrow you for/fɔː/ a/ə/ sec?，我说 for-a/fərə/ sec。
I'm pronouncing "for/fɔː/" as "for/fə/" and then using the /r/ to help me connect to the vowel "for-a/fərə/ sec". If you're a bit confused about connected speech, don't have a very good understanding of it, I have many videos here which help with that you can find them on my channel.
我把 for/fɔː/ 发成 for/fə/，然后用/r/音连接了元音，for-a/fərə/ sec。如果你对连读有点困惑，不能很好地理解它，我这里有很多视频可以帮助你，你可以在我的频道上找到它们。
So, number one is "could I borrow you for a sec". Remember to use their name at the beginning.
那么，第一个是“我能借你一秒钟吗？”记住在开头加上他们的名字。
It does create more of a connection. Another one I use all of the time is "Would you give me a hand?"
这样就更有连接性了。另一个我常常使用的是“能帮我一下吗？”
"John, can you give me a hand?" or "could you give me a hand?" "Can", "could", you can use either: could you give me a hand or can you give me a hand.
“约翰，你能（can/could）帮我一下吗？”Can，could，二者皆可：could you give me a hand/can you give me a hand。
Notice how I'm going, "hand". This is making it into a question: Can you give me a hand?
注意我的读法：hand。这使它变成一个疑问句：你能帮我一下吗？
I'm raising the tone at the end, "hand", to make it sound like I'm asking a yes/no question. I need an answer, you know, "Could you come over here and help me?"
我在结尾提高了语调，hand，让它听起来像一个一般疑问句。我需要一个答案，对吧，“你能过来帮我一下吗？”
Alternatively, if you notice someone might need some help, you could say to them "Do you need a hand?" "Do you need a hand?" Okay. So, same thing again but now we're asking them if they need help.
或者，如果你看到有人要帮忙，你可以对他们说“需要帮忙吗？”，“需要帮忙吗？”还是关于帮助，但这次是我们问他们是否要帮助。
"A hand" just means help, like the old phrase "a helping hand". A more kind of indirect way of asking someone for help is. . . let me give you an example, actually and we'll start with an example.
A hand 意思是帮助，就像那句旧时的短 a helping hand。一种更间接的求助方式是......让我给你举个例子，我们从一个例子开始。
Let's say I am not very good at thinking of words, you know, when I'm writing an essay, maybe a really important essay and I want to use some more intelligent words in my essay. Perhaps I'm using the word "good" and "nice" too much.
假设我不太擅长思考单词，你知道，当我在写一篇文章时，可能是一篇非常重要的文章，我想在我的文章中使用一些更高级的词汇。也许我用 good 和 nice 这个词太频繁了。
Now, I could say to my friends, again, John, I could say, "John, you're good with words, aren't you?" "You're good with words, aren't you?"
那么，我可以跟我朋友，还是约翰，我可以对他说：“约翰，你很擅长用词，不是吗？”“你很擅长用词，不是吗？”
By saying this, I'm kind of showing John that I need some help. I'm kind of telling John that I know he's good at this, so I need his help.
我这么说，是在向约翰表明我需要帮助。我想告诉约翰，我知道他擅长这个，所以我需要他的帮助。
So, I would say "John, you're good with words, aren't you?" and then, he might say, "Yeah, what do you need?" or "Yeah, do you need some help?", right? So, that's a great way of opening a question.
所以，我会说“约翰，你很擅长用词，不是吗？”然后，他可能会说，“是的，你需要什么？”或者“是的，你需要帮助吗？”，对吧？所以，这是一个很好的提问方式。
You could even say, "John, you're good with words, aren't you? Could you give me a hand?" Okay? So now, we've turned it into a really big question and it also sounds very polite.
你甚至可以说：“约翰，你很擅长用词，对吧？你可以帮一下我吗？”那么，我们把它变成了一个非常大的问题，听起来也很礼貌。
This is very advanced. Of course, a very very formal way of asking for help is very simple.
这个非常高级。当然，非常正式的求助方式非常简单。
You could just say, "I was wondering if you could help me with this." "I was wondering if you could help me with this."
你可以说：“我想知道你能不能帮我。”“我想知道你能不能帮我。”
So, this turns it into quite a formal. You know, saying that you were wondering meaning they don't have to but you were kind of thinking about maybe they could help you with this.
所以，这就变成了一个非常正式的问题。你知道，你说“你想知道”，意思是他们没必要，但你在想也许他们能帮你。
And what this does is it makes it sound friendly; it makes you sound approachable, and it's also quite formal, you're being polite. So, "John, I was wondering if you could help me with this."
这样做的目的是让它听起来很友好；这让你听起来平易近人，而且很正式，你很有礼貌。“约翰，我想知道你是否能帮我。”
If you need someone's opinion, you could say, "Can I get your opinion?" or "input", "Can I get your input on this?" Okay? So, these are all kind of ways of asking for help with maybe a project you're doing, something you're doing you need help with.
如果你需要别人的意见，你可以说，“我能得到你的意见吗？”或者 input，“我能得到你的意见吗？”好的，这些都是你向他人寻求帮助的方式，也许帮助你正在做的项目，或者是你正在做的事情。
And really, those are the main ways that I've noticed other people and also myself asking for help in various situations. I would say the most common are "give me a hand", that's really really common in the UK especially, and also "can I borrow you" if you need someone for quite maybe a long amount of time and you want them to do something for you.
事实上，这些都是我注意到别人和我自己在各种情况下寻求帮助的主要方式。最常见的是 give me a hand，这句话在英国特别常见，还有 can I borrow you，如果你需要某人很长一段时间，你想让他为你做点事的话。
So, those would be my two kind of "go to" ones, but you're welcome to experiment with many different ways and it's okay just to say "Can you help me?" Honestly, it's absolutely fine to say that.
所以，这就是我的两种选择，但欢迎你尝试许多不同的方法，你可以说 Can you help me?老实说，这样说完全没问题。
But I'm just here to give you more options and more ways of perhaps being more playful and having fun with your English because we don't want to be bored when we're speaking English and using the same expressions all of the time can often make things quite boring. So, play around, have fun.
但是我在这里只是想给你们更多的选择和更多的方式，让你们的英语变得更有趣，因为我们不想在说英语的时候感到无聊，总是使用相同的表达方式会让事情变得很无聊。尽情玩吧，玩得开心。
