In today"s lesson, we"re going to be learning the best ways to say goodbye in modern British English and of course how to pronounce all of these words. Hi, everybody. It"s me, Elliott from ETJ English, and yes, today, I"m helping you with goodbyes.
在今天的课程中，我们将学习现代英式英语中说再见的最佳方法，当然还有如何发音所有这些单词。大家好。是我，来自 ETJ 英语频道的埃利奥特，没错，今天，我要教如何大家说再见。
Now, YouTube, I must admit I am terrible at goodbyes. I find it really hard to say goodbye to people.
好吧，油管，我必须承认我不擅长说再见。我觉得和别人说再见真的很困难。
And you"ll know that from one of my recent video lessons where I taught you how to end a conversation. I"d recommend you watch that before you watch this just because it will show you kind of how to build up to the goodbye which we"re learning today.
这一点你可以从我最近教大家如何结束对话的那个视频中得知。在看这个视频之前，我推荐你去看那个视频，因为它是我们今天要讲的说再见的话题的前奏。
The link will be in the description of this video. Let"s get to the reason why I"m making this video.
链接就在视频的描述区。我们来看看我为什么做这个视频。
It"s actually because of you, my students. I"ve received a lot of emails, Facebook messages, and of course, I speak to hundreds of students daily who joined my pronunciation course and talk to me on Whatsapp.
其实是因为你们，我的学生们。我收到了很多邮件、脸书私信，当然了，我每天都跟几百个学生聊天，他们参加了我的发音课程，在 Whatsapp 上跟我聊天。
And the one thing a lot of you have in common is that you don"t really know how to say goodbye in a more modern way. Now, I"ve had students who"ve said "so long", "cheerio", "farewell".
这些学生当中的一个很常见的问题是，他们不知道如何以更现代的方式来说再见。有些学生说 so long，cheerio，farewell。
Now, although these sound very very British, I mean the British if you"re living in like the 1930s but now not really, okay? These, these, these phrases, they don"t really happen that much anymore.
虽然它们听起来很英式，我是说二十世纪三十年代的那种英式，而不是现在。这些短语，如今已经不再流行了。
Now, just so you know, we"re not going to get heavily into the intonation today mainly because that would make this video lesson way too long and I"ve saved all of that for my pronunciation course, so when you join that, there"s a whole chapter about intonation as well as all of the sounds and everything else in British English.
But today, we"re just focusing on the vocabulary and we"re also focusing on some of the vowels, the most important vowels and sounds in these words and ways of saying goodbye.
顺便说一下，今天我们不会讲关于语调的知识，主要因为那样会使这个视频变得太长了，我把它留到了我的发音课再讲，那样你加入的时候，就会有一整章是关于语调和这些发音加上其他英式英语的内容。但今天，我们就关注词汇，还有一些元音，这些单词中最重要的元音以及说再见的方式。
So, without further ado, let"s start with the most common one and it"s probably the oldest one as well and we still use it today and that"s simply "goodbye" or "bye". Now, the main thing I want you to look at before we start talking about this word is the diphthong at the end /a/.
闲话少说，我们从最常见的那个开始吧，它可能也是最古老的一个，我们今天仍然使用它，那就是 goodbye 或者 bye。在我们开始谈论这个词之前，我主要想让大家看看词尾的双元音/a/。
Okay, so what"s happening here is we"re starting with the tongue at the bottom of the mouth, /a/. Then, we"re lifting the tongue up during the whole sound, so as soon as you start making that /a/ sound, I want you to immediately lift your tongue up just behind your top teeth and smile slightly, /a/, /ba/, okay?
发这个音，我们的舌头先放在嘴巴底部，/a/。然后，在发整个音的时候，舌头抬起来，所以，当你开始发/a/音的时候，我想你马上抬起舌头，把它放在上齿的后面，轻轻微笑，/a/，/ba/。
So, we go from an open shape to a smiling shape. This /a/ sound is called a diphthong.
所以，我们的嘴巴从张开的形状变成微笑的形状。这个/a/音叫做双元音。
So, when we combine two vowels together and it makes one sound. Now, this sound will actually make you sound very very British.
就是把两个元音合在一起变成一个元音。这个音会让你听起来非常英式。
It"s a very British sounding sound if you get it right. So, give it a practice and see if you can say "bye" just like me.
如果你发对了，听起来就会非常英式。练习一下，看看你能不能像我一样说 bye。
Now, you might hear some people say "bye-bye". That"s okay. It"s a bit more kind of childish, but it"s still fine, like, I might say that to a, to a kid "bye bye", but if you"re saying it to an adult, the safest option would be "goodbye" or "bye".
你可能听过有人说 bye-bye。这也可以。有点幼稚，但没关系，例如，我也许会对一个小孩说“拜拜”，但如果你对一个成年人说，最保险的选择是“再见”或“拜”。
Formal and informal is very complicated here, we don"t have as extreme rules anymore with etiquette and things in the UK as you see in things like Downton Abbey. It"s not like that.
在这里，正式和非正式是很复杂的，我们的礼仪没有严格的规定，跟你在《唐顿庄园》中看到的不一样。不是那样的。
But before I get into the other ways of saying goodbye, the first thing I want to mention is I like to put things in threes, this is my favorite way of saying "goodbye". So, I don"t know if you"ve watched my videos before, but you"ll see at the end of all of my videos, I say three things: take care, cheers, bye.
在我介绍其他说再见的方式之前，我想先提一下，我喜欢分三步走，这是我最喜欢的说再见的方式。我不知道你之前有没有看过我的视频，但你会看到在我所有视频的末尾，我都会说三句话：保重，加油，再见。
"Take care" is my way of saying "look after yourself", "stay healthy", "have a nice day", that kind of thing. "Cheers" is like a "thank you" and "bye" is bye, right?
“保重”就是“照顾好你自己”，“保持身体健康”，“祝今天愉快”，之类的意思。“加油”就是“谢谢”，“拜”就是拜拜。
So, I"ve combined three things. I"ve combined basically, yeah, wishing someone a good day or to be healthy with a thank you and with a goodbye.
我把三件事合在一起。我基本上把祝某人一天愉快或者身体健康与一句谢谢和一句再见结合起来。
Now, what that does is it kind of makes my own personal ultimate goodbye and that"s how I say goodbye to most people I know. "Take care. Cheers. Bye." And that"s one of the really useful ways of saying "goodbye" informally.
这个就是我自己说再见的方式，我对我认识的大多数人都是这么说的。“保重，加油，拜。”这是非正式地说再见的一个非常有用的方式。
"Cheers. Bye." "Cheers. Bye." Combining "cheers" and "bye". So, firstly, let"s look at the word "cheers".
“加油，拜。” “加油，拜。”把“加油”和“拜”结合起来。首先，我们看看单词“加油”。
So, in terms of pronunciation, we have another diphthong, //, "cheers". So, we start with our tongue at the top this time, //, then we moved to the middle of the mouth, //, to the schwa sound, //, //, //, //, //, //, /tz/, /tz/.
在发音方面，这里有另一个双元音，//，cheers。这一次我们的舌头要先放在上面，//，然后移到嘴巴的中间，//，到弱央元音，//，//，//，//，//，//，/tz/，/tz/。
Now, that"s what we would call a more RP way of saying "cheers". But if you wanted to do it a bit faster and a bit more, let"s say modern and quick, you would say "cheers", "cheers".
这是 cheers 较为英式的发音。如果你想说得更快更潮，你可以说 cheers，cheers。
That"s only when you"re talking really really fast. People will still understand it only if you add the /z/ on the end.
这是你说得非常非常快的时候就会这样。只要你把末尾的/z/音发出来，人们就会明白你说什么。
We need that /z/ sound or else people will have no idea what you"re saying. You could be saying "cheese"; you could be saying anything.
我们要把那个/z/音发出来，否则人们不知道你在说什么。你可能在说 cheese，你可能在说任何东西。
So, make sure you add that consonant. Now, this is another problem a lot of my students on my course have and I have a whole chapter which helps with this: omitting final consonants.
所以一定要把那个辅音加上去。这是我课上很多学生都存在的另一个问题，我有一整章的课程来帮助解决这个问题：省略最后的辅音。
As a challenge for you over the next week, I"d like you to try and pronounce the consonants at the end of your words, particularly ones which end with /z/, "cheers". So important to make sure people clearly understand you.
作为你们下周的挑战，我希望你们试着把你们所说的单词的末尾的辅音发出来，尤其是那些以/z/音结尾的单词，cheers。确保人们清楚地理解你是很重要的。
So, now, you can say "bye"; now you can say "cheers". Let"s just talk about "take care" very quickly.
现在，你学会了 bye，你学会了 cheers。我们快速来说说 take care。
Now, I"m not saying "take", "care". I"m not pronouncing the /k/ at the end of "take".
我不是在说 take，care。我没有发 take 末尾的/k/音。
So, one word ends with a /k/ and the next word begins with a /k/. So, because of that, it doesn"t really matter, we don"t need to pronounce both.
一个词以/k/音结尾，下一个词以/k/音开头。因此，我们不需要两者都发音，这不重要。
So, we can just say "take care", "take care", "take care", don"t say "take", "care", because it"s too much, it"s too stressful, just say "take care", "take care, "cheers", "bye". Now, you"ve said "goodbye", how I most often say "goodbye" and how I say it in my videos.
我们可以就说 take care，take care，take care，不要说 take，care，因为这样发音太多了，重读太多了，就说 take care，take care，cheers，bye。那么，你已经学了 goodbye，我经常说 goodbye 的方式，以及我在我的视频中说再见的方式。
I think it"s really great because you"re combining three things and it doesn"t make it as awkward. It"s not like you"re just saying "Okay, bye", you"re saying something in a controlled manner and you"re saying three things and it makes you sound confident.
我认为这真的很棒，因为你把三个意思结合在一起，而且不会让它变得尴尬。这不像你只说“好吧，拜”，而是你用礼貌而不失尴尬的方式说了三件事，而且听起来自信满满。
But you don"t have to say "take care", you could say "have a nice day", "cheers, bye" or you could say "have a nice day, bye", "goodbye", "farewell" if you want to use those old-fashioned words. Some people say "take it easy", "take it easy".
但你不一定要说“保重”，你可以说“祝你今天愉快”，“谢谢，拜”，或者你可以说“祝你今天愉快，拜”，“再见”，或者如果你想用那些老一套的词，那你可以说“再会”。有些人说 take it easy，take it easy。
We"re actually connecting speech with all of the words there "take-it-easy", "take-it-easy", "take-it-easy", which also means "look after yourself", "relax". Some people might say "look after yourself".
其实我们这几个词都会连读，take-it-easy，take-it-easy，take-it-easy，意思是“照顾好你自己”，“放松”。有些人可能会说 look after yourself。
Now, please note here we"re not saying "yourself/jself/", we"re saying "yourself/jself/". This is the weak form of /jself/ where we would say /j/, we use the schwa sound which is where we keep the tongue relaxed in the middle of the mouth and we open the mouth in just a relaxed kind of breathing way, //, /j/, /jself/, /jself/.
请注意，我们不是说 yourself/jself/，我们在说 yourself/jself/。这是/jself/的弱读形式，我们会说/j/，使用弱央元音，舌头放松地放在口腔中间位置，有点像呼吸的方式放松地张开嘴巴，//，/j/，/jself/，/jself/。
"Look af-", make sure you pronounce that "after". Finish "after" with an //, not an /r/ because that"s American.
Look af-，一定要把 after 发出来。以一个//音结束 after 的发音，而不是/r/音，因为那是美式发音。
If you want to sound British, any word which finishes with "er", "after", we finish with a schwa, "look after yourself", "look after yourself". So again, that"s another "take care" you could say, "look after yourself", "cheers, bye", of course, you can say "have a nice day", something like that.
如果你想听起来英伦一点，任何以 er 结尾的词，after，我们都会以//音结尾，look after yourself，look after yourself。那么，这是另一个你可以说的“保重”，look after yourself，cheers, bye，当然了，你可以说 have a nice day 之类的。
There are so many things you could say before you say goodbye. I always think it"s good to combine "goodbye" with one of those phrases like that, so make sure you"ve written those down and you have them kind of saved in your memory somewhere.
在你说再见之前你可以说很多话。我总觉得将“再见”和其他像这些一样的短语结合起来是很好的，一定要做好笔记并在脑子里记住咯。
And the other one which is informal is "see ya", "see ya", "see ya". "See ya/sij/". So, "you" is being pronounced as "ya" because it"s weak again, we"re not stressing the word "you", "see ya".
另一个非正式的说法是 see ya，see ya，see ya。See ya/sij/。You 发成 ya，因为它也是弱读，我们不重读 you 这个词，see ya。
Another quick tip for you is, yes, we might say "good night" to someone when we say "goodbye". I might just say "Okay, good night."
快速告诉你另一个说法，那就是我们说“再见的时候”，会说 good night。我可能就说“好的，晚安”。
That"s a way of saying "goodbye", but we won"t say "good morning" when we say "goodbye". I know it"s strange, we can say "good night" to someone, but when we say "goodbye", we don"t say "good morning".
这是说再见的一种方式，但我们说再见的时候不说 good morning。我知道很奇怪，我们可以对某人说“晚安”，但当我们说再见的时候，我们不说“早上好”。
We"d probably just say "have a nice day". "Okay. Have a nice day. See ya", for example.
我们很可能就说“祝你今天愉快”。例如：“好吧。祝你今天愉快，再见。”
That was quite informal. And just to sound a bit more formal, you might say "all the best", "all the best, goodbye".
那是非常不正式的说法。要听起来更加正式，你可以说“祝一切顺利”，all the best。
That sounded very formal. That"s because we used "goodbye" which is probably the most formal way of saying goodbye in modern British English.
这听起来非常正式。这是因为我们用 goodbye，这可能是现代英式英语中说再见的最正式的方式。
And we combined it with "all the best" which is also it"s like something you"d see in a written letter. So hopefully, now you"ll feel a bit more confident when you say goodbye to people.
而且我们将它和“祝一切顺利”结合起来，有点像你会在一封信上看到的内容。那么，希望你现在在跟别人道别的时候更自信了。
You know it"s such a simple topic but when you really think about it, there"s a lot to remember and a lot to do to make yourself sound confident or more comfortable or more native. You"ll hear natives do all kinds of different things when they say goodbye and my recommendation for you would be to listen to natives.
你知道，这是一个非常简单的主题，但当你仔细想想，就需要记很多事情和做很多事情才能让你听起来更自信和更地道。你会听到当本地人说再见的时候，他们会说很多事情，我推荐你去听当地人说话。
You"re going to learn the most by listening to us. So, please listen to the words we say in movies, in TV shows, on podcasts, anywhere when we say goodbye and add them to your list, hopefully the list which you"ve started creating today.
听我们说话你会学到最多。所以要去听电影、电视节目、播客或任何其他地方我们说再见的方式，并把它们加入到你的笔记中，希望你今天已经开始做笔记了。
