Hey everyone I'm Emma!
Welcome to another mmmEnglish lesson.
大家好啊，我是Emma！歡迎來到另一節Emma的美味英語課程！
Now I know that many of you are desperate to expand your vocabulary and start using more sophisticated English words so today let's focus on some words that can inspire.
Inspire you and inspire the people around you.
我只能你們其中的很多人都非常想擴充自己的詞彙量，想要開始使用更加複雜高級的英語詞彙，所以今天呢，我們就來講講那些能夠激勵人心的詞彙吧。
激勵自己，以及你身邊的人。
. . . . . . In English, there are many ways to say the same thing.
在英文中，有很多種說同樣的事物的方式。你們已經知道很多簡單的詞彙了，這真的很棒，但是如果你想要獲得大家的尊重，贏得大家的注意力的話，使用有趣的、有想法的、有意義的單詞肯定是你想要繼續為之奮鬥的。
You know a lot of simple vocabulary already which is awesome but if you want to earn the respect and the attention of people around you, using interesting, thoughtful and meaningful words is definitely something that you want to work on.
Words are powerful man!
朋友們，詞彙力量無窮啊！你選擇的詞彙能夠向大家表明你是個什麼類型的人。
And the words that you choose to use tell people a lot about the type of person that you are.
Expanding your vocabulary and using inspiring words can make you more successful in business, in school, in life, right?
擴充你的詞彙量，使用激勵人心的詞彙，能夠讓你在職場上、在學校、在生活中變得更加成功，對吧？你的詞彙能夠讓其他人想圍繞在你身邊。
Your words can make others want to be around you. They command respect.
它們會贏來尊重。人們更有可能相信你或者是聽從你的建議，如果你使用有力量感的詞彙的話。
People are more likely to trust you or to follow your advice if you use powerful words.
And the words that you use don't just affect others, using powerful and positive and inspiring words will also have a positive impact on you.
你使用的詞彙不僅僅影響別人，使用有力量的、積極的、激勵人心的詞彙對你也會有積極的正面影響。今天我要送給大家六個激勵人心的詞彙，大家應該好好學習，儘快地開始使用。
Today I'm going to give you six inspiring words that you should learn and start using as soon as possible.
I'm going to show you how to say them because really, if you can't pronounce these words correctly, it's difficult to deliver an inspiring message, right?
我會給大家展示如何去說這些單詞，因為如果你發音不對的話，是很難傳遞鼓舞人心的信息的，是吧？我會告訴大家它們的意思，也會給大家展示該如何正確使用。
I'll tell you what they mean and I'll show you how to use them correctly.
Make sure you turn on the subtitles down there if you need to and if you would like to translate this video for your friends or for others in your country, well that would be pretty damn cool too.
如果你需要的話，一定要打開下面的字幕哦，如果你想要為你朋友，或是你國家的人翻譯這個視頻的話，那真的就太贊了。翻譯視頻的連結在描述區。
The link to do that, to translate the video is in the description. Alright let's start with the word 'inspire'.
好的，讓我們從『inspire』這個單詞開始吧。是的，如果你想用自己的語言激勵其他人的話，你必須知道該如何使用，對吧？如果你激勵其他人，讓其他人想要做點什麼事情，讓他們感到自信，對嘗試某件事情感到非常激動。
可能是一些新的事情，或者是他們很久都沒有做過的事情。讓我們以發音開始吧。
Yeah if you're going to inspire people with your words, you're going to have to know how to use them, right?
If you inspire someone, you make them want to do something, you make them feel confident and excited to try something.
Maybe something new or maybe something that they haven't done in quite a while. Let's start with pronunciation first. Inspire.
激勵。中間的音節需要重讀。
So that middle syllable is the stressed one. In my accent, you can't hear that final R sound but you would in an American accent.
在我的口音中，你是聽不到後面的捲舌音的，但是是美音中可以聽到。過去式是『inspired』。
And in the past, it's 'inspired'. Now that final D is a soft D sound so when it's spoken, you hardly hear it.
結尾的d是清輔音，所以說這個音的時候，基本上聽不到。Inspired。Inspired。
Inspired. Inspired. So hear how the air doesn't come out.
聽，空氣並沒有出來。我感到被她深深激勵。
I feel inspired by her. Not inspired by her but inspired by her.
不是被她激勵，而是被她激勵。在我釋放之前，我發出了那個音。
So I'm catching that sound before I release it. So someone can inspire someone to do something, right?
某人可以激勵其他人做某件事情，是吧？我的一個朋友激勵我去跑馬拉松。
A friend inspired me to run a marathon.
The orchestra inspired her to study music.
管弦樂隊鼓舞了她學習音樂。他的哥哥激勵他環遊世界。
His brother inspired him to travel the world. Right?
So if someone inspires someone else so the structure is always the same, right?
對吧？所以如果有人激勵其他人的話，結構總是相同的，對吧？但是你也可以被其他的東西所激勵。
But you can also be inspired by something. She was inspired by her boss.
她被老闆所激勵。我被演講所鼓舞。
I was inspired by the speech. Who inspires you?
誰激勵你了？在你的生活中有沒有這樣一個人讓你非常激動地去做某件事情，讓你想要去做某件事情？
Is there someone in your life who makes you excited to do something and makes you want to do something?
Tell me about that person in the comments.
在評論區和我說說那個人吧。告訴我誰激勵了你。
Tell me who inspires you.
You can also say that they're an inspiration or that they are inspiring.
你也可以說他們對你來說是一種激勵，或者是他們非常鼓舞人心。如果你想到了激勵你的人的話，試著去使用所有的單詞，也就是『inspire』派生的所有詞彙去描述他們。
So if you're thinking of someone who inspires you, try to use all of these words, all of these words from the 'inspire' word family to talk about them.
Now when you're feeling inspired, you may need some motivation to help you take action, right?
當你感覺被激勵的時候，你可能需要一些動力幫助你採取行動，對吧？動力是你想要做某件事情的原因。
Motivation is the reason why you want to do something. It's all of the things and the feelings that make you keep working hard to reach your goals or to finish something.
就是讓你不斷努力工作，達成目標，完成某件事情的一切。你肯定是為了某個目的才想要變成更加自信的說英語的人，對吧？可能是謀求一份更好的工作，可能是遇見其他國家的人，可能是出國留學，也可能是你喜歡旅行。
You want to become a more confident English speaker for a purpose, right? It could be to get a better job, it could be to meet people from other countries, to study abroad, maybe you'd love to travel.
These are all reasons or your motivation to learn the language, okay?
這都是學習語言的原因或者是動機，對吧？所以呢，『動機』是用來說原因的更好的、更加高級的方式。
So motivation is like a better, more sophisticated way of saying reason. You can ask people "What's your motivation for learning English?"
你可以問其他人「你學習英語的動機是什麼？」這裡有好幾個音節。
Now there's a lot of syllables to pronounce here. Motivation.
動機。以-tion結尾的單詞通常重音都放在-tion之前的最後一個音節上，所以應該念『motivation』。
So words that end in -tion like this one are usually stressed on the syllable before last so it's motivation. And listen to that last syllable as well.
聽一下最後一個音節。動機。
Motivation. That last syllable is unstressed, the vowel sound reduces right down to the schwa so it's short and low in pitch.
最後一個音節是非重讀的，元音變成了中元音，所以它很短，而且音調很低。不是『motivation』。
It's not motivation. It's motivation.
而是『motivation』。我的姐姐吉爾全職工作的同時還在夜校學習醫學。
My sister Jill works full-time and she studies medicine at night school. And that sounds crazy, right?
那聽起來很瘋狂，對吧？但是她在夜校學習的動力是她孩子的教育。
But her kid's education is her motivation for studying at night school.
Now you've got the motivation let's expand your vocabulary a little because we can use the verb to motivate, to motivate someone to do something, to also express these ideas.
你已經有了動力了，那我們再來擴充一下詞彙量吧，因為我們可以使用動詞來激勵其他人，去激勵其他人做某件事情，表達這些意思。她需要身邊的人給予她動力，激勵她成功。
She needs people around her who motivate and inspire her to succeed.
There are also two adjective forms that you need to know, the -ed and the -ing forms.
還有兩個你需要知道的形容詞，以-ed和-ing形式結尾。動力滿滿的，和令人動力滿滿的。
Motivated and motivating. As soon as I lost a few kilos, I was motivated to lose more.
瘦了幾公斤之後，我就有了動力想要瘦更多。他的演講令人動力滿滿。
His speech was really motivating. There is another adjective, 'motivational'.
還有另外一個形容詞，『有動機的，促進的』。他是個很有動機的演講者。
He's a motivational speaker. So I'm curious. What or who motivates you to keep going?
我很好奇，什麼事情，或者是誰讓你動力滿滿，不斷前行？在評論區和我聊聊那個人吧。
Tell me about that person in the comments. I want to take a quick minute to talk about a project that I've been working on. It's called The Ladies' Project.
我想要花簡短的的幾分鐘聊聊我正在從事的一個項目，叫做『The Ladies' Project』。The Ladies' Project 是一個社區，尤其是針對於正在學習英文的女士，這個社區為什麼如此特殊，以及為什麼你可能會很感興趣想要加入的原因是我們的目標並不是督促你去考試，或者是獲得另外一個證書。
Now The Ladies' Project is a community especially for women who are learning English and what makes this community so special and why you might be interested to join it yourself is that our goal is not to push you to sit exams or to get another certificate.
Our goal is to inspire you to build confidence and to keep you motivated and to transform you into the confident English speaker that you dream of being and we do this by helping you to meet other women who are just like you.
我們的目標是激勵你塑造自信，讓你感到動力滿滿，以及讓你成為自己一直夢寐以求的自信的說英語的人，我們通過幫助你見到和你相似的其他女性的方式來實現這個目標。我們會有對話的話題和課程，能夠讓你每天都擁有非常有意義的、很有趣的對話，都是關於作為女性對我們而言非常重要的話題。
We have conversation topics and lessons that allow you to have really meaningful, interesting conversations every day about things that are really important to us as women. Not like stuff in a textbook, you know what I mean?
So The Ladies' Project is not an online course, it's not another language app, it's a community, a social network with real people, amazing, inspiring women from all over the world.
並不是那種教科書裡面的東西，你懂我什麼意思吧？所以 The Ladies' Project 並不是一個線上課程，也不是語言軟體，而是一個社區，一個和世界各地的真實的、超讚的、激勵人心的女性一起參與的社交網絡。我們想要擁有在陌生人面前說話、以及表達我們的觀點和意見的勇氣，對吧？
We all want to have the courage to speak in front of strangers and to express our thoughts and our opinions, right? But you know what?
但是你知道嗎？成為一個更加具有自信的說英語的人這件事情並不是孤身一人就可以完成的。
Becoming a more confident English speaker is not something that you can do alone.
The Ladies' Project is a place where women from lots of different cultures can safely meet speaking partners online and feel comfortable to speak in English while they build confidence together.
The Ladies' Project 就是這樣一個地方，來自不同文化的女性能夠安全地見到線上的語伴，而且感到非常輕鬆自在地用英語進行交談，與此同時一起塑造自信心。每次一個對話。
One conversation at a time. If you follow this link up here you can take a tour of The Ladies' Project. I'll show you what it's like inside and explain a bit more about the amazing benefits of being part of this community.
如果你點擊這邊的連結的話，你就可以看到 The Ladies' Project 。我們給大家看它到底是什麼樣子的，也會給大家解釋成為這個群體的一部分有什麼好處。想要申請的話，你必須得是女性才行。
To apply, you do need to be a woman.
You need to have an intermediate English level or higher and you'll also need to register a credit card.
你需要擁有中級或者更高的英語水平，你也需要註冊信用卡。The Ladies' Project 是付費社區。
The Ladies' Project is a paid community. I'm completely thrilled to be finally mentioning The Ladies' Project here on my channel.
終於在我的頻道提到了 The Ladies' Project ，我感到好興奮啊。我已經為此努力了很久了，我真的對此充滿激情。
It's something that I've been working on for quite a while now, something that I'm really passionate about.
And guys, dudes, I know that this project is not for you but if you have a female friend or a family member who you want to help them to develop some confidence using English, then I'm sure they'd love to hear about The Ladies' Project.
男士們，我知道這個項目並不適合你們，但是如果你們有女性朋友或者是女性家庭成員，而你又想要幫助她們在使用英語的時候變得更加自信的話，那我肯定她們是非常想了解 The Ladies' Project 的。如果你幫忙分享的話，那就再好不過了。
And I would love your help in sharing it. Learning a new language, using big words, speaking out loud, all of this takes courage.
學習一門新的語言，使用更加高級的詞彙，大聲說出自己的想法，這些都需要勇氣。勇氣是做某件事情的能力，儘管這件事情有時候可能令人恐懼，非常危險，或者是很困難。
Now courage is the ability to do something even though it might be scary or dangerous or difficult at times. It relates to your emotional strength.
這與你們的情感力量有關。去做你害怕的事情，和勇氣有一點相似。
To do something that you are scared to do, so it's kind of similar to bravery.
Hands up if this is a little difficult to pronounce.
如果這有點難發音的話，那就舉手示意吧。有很多不同的發音方式可以發英文單詞中的OU。
There are quite a few different ways to pronounce the OU in English words.
I talked about them in this lesson actually.
我其實在這節課程中說過了。勇氣。
Courage. In the word 'courage' we use the // as in 'up' vowel sound, courage.
在『勇氣』這個單詞中，我們使用的是『up』這個單詞裡面的//元音，勇氣。這是最強的音節，所以你需要抱住你的發音是對的。
This is the strongest syllable so you need to make sure that you're pronouncing it right》 And the final consonant sound might be a little tricky too. The sound.
最後的輔音可能有點點難。想要發這個音的話，我要把我的舌頭放在牙齒的後面，然後將舌頭上抬，但是舌頭的邊緣是收緊的，或者是擠壓的，來發出這個音。
So to make it, I've got my tongue behind my teeth and pushed up to the top of my mouth but the edges of my tongue are pushed or pressed up to seal the sound in.
Okay before the air gets released.
在氣流釋放之前。還要注意我唇部的運動。
Notice the movement in my lips as well. Courage.
勇氣。動詞『have』和『find』通常和勇氣搭配。
Now the verbs 'have' and 'find' are often used with the noun 'courage'. He has the courage to do the right thing.
他有勇氣去做正確的事情。或者是她找到了勇氣站起來在群眾集會上講話。
Or she found the courage to stand up and speak at the rally.
Now it's definitely worth knowing the adjective 'courageous' as well.
形容詞『勇敢的』也是值得注意的。勇敢的。勇敢的。
Courageous. Courageous. She's a very courageous woman.
她是個非常勇敢的女性。如果有人沒有勇氣的話，你當然可以激勵他們了，是吧？
And if someone doesn't have the courage, well you can, of course, encourage them, right? Encourage sounds really similar to courage.
鼓舞聽起來和勇氣非常相似。發音基本上是一樣的，但是意思有點不一樣。
The pronunciation is almost the same but the meaning is a little different. If you encourage someone, you give them hope and confidence and support to achieve something.
如果你鼓舞某個人的話，你給予他們實現某件事情的希望、信心和支持。你不只是告訴他們他們可以做到，而是幫助他們相信自己是可以的。
You don't just tell them that they can do it but you help them to believe that they can.
By encouraging someone, you can help them to find courage that they need.
通過鼓舞其他人，你能夠幫助他們找到他們所需要的勇氣。再說一遍，我們鼓舞某人做某事。
And again, we encourage someone to do something.
Their cheering encouraged me to finish the marathon, even though I was exhausted.
他們的歡呼鼓舞了我完成馬拉松，儘管我已經筋疲力盡了。她的父母鼓勵她學習醫學。
Her parents encouraged her to study medicine. So now let's expand a little.
現在讓我們再來拓展一下吧。某件事情或者是某個人可以是鼓舞人心的，是吧？
Something or someone can be encouraging, okay? That was an encouraging sign.
那是個鼓舞人心的標誌。我覺得我們在正確的軌道上了。
I think we're on the right track. You can also use the noun 'encouragement'.
你也可以使用名詞『鼓舞』。你可以將其和動詞『give』和『need』連用。
And you can use it with verbs like 'give' and 'need'. I think she needs a little encouragement.
我覺得她需要一點激勵。她的老師應該給她一些鼓舞。
Her teacher should give her some encouragement. So it's an uncountable noun, right?
這是個不可數名詞，對吧？經常聽到這個單詞和『some』或者是『any』，『a little』或者是『a lot』這些量詞連用。
It's really common to hear this word used with a quantifier like 'some' or 'any', 'a little' or 'a lot'. Empower.
賦予能量。賦予某人能量是給予他們做某件事情的力量、自信或者是授權。
To empower someone is to give them the strength and the confidence or the authority to do something.
The Ladies' Project empowers women to speak English with strangers.
The Ladies' Project 賦予女性能量，讓她們和陌生人說英語。這個單詞本身聽起來就充滿能量。
Even the word itself sounds powerful.
Notice that the first vowel sound is actually a short sound even though it's spelled with an E it's not.
注意哦，第一個元音很短，儘管是以E開頭的，但是並不是， 而是「賦予能量」。
It's 'empower'. So the second syllable is the stressed one.
第二個元音才是重讀的。最後一個元音是非重讀的，那是個中元音，你能不到我那麼說「賦予能量」。
And that final syllable is unstressed, it's the schwa sound and you don't hear me say that Empower. And surely you've noticed the word power in there, right?
當然了，你也注意到裡面power這個詞了吧？給某人賦能的意思是讓他們更加強壯，更加自信地去做某件事情，通常是用來談論給予某一個人能量、力量或者是控制感，而這個人本身並沒有。
To empower someone is to make them stronger and more confident to do something and it's often used to talk about giving power or strength or control to someone who doesn't have it.
But don't be confused. If you are empowered, it doesn't always mean that you are powerful.
但是不要混淆哦。如果你被賦能的話，並不總是意味著你能量滿滿。這兩個單詞意思完全不同。
These two words have quite different meanings.
So for example: The CEO wants to empower his management team to make strategic decisions for the company.
比如說：總裁向授權他的管理團隊為公司做出戰略性決策。誰讓你感覺自己被賦能了？
What makes you feel empowered?
Or have you ever empowered someone else in some way?
或者是你是否曾經以某種方式給某人賦能了？你可以聽到這裡的-ed和-ing形容詞形式。
You'll hear the -ed and the -ing adjective forms here.
So something can be empowering and you can also feel empowered, okay?
某件事情可能為你賦能，而你感覺到自己被賦能了，對吧？名詞『empowerment』也值得注意。
And it's worth knowing the noun 'empowerment' as well. Empowerment.
賦能。教育是賦能的一種工具。
Education is a tool for empowerment. These words and their word families are challenging, challenging to pronounce and challenging to use these different types of words correctly but if you're still here you're still working hard, then you've got perseverance.
這些單詞和它們的單詞組都很具有挑戰性，發音很具有挑戰性，正確地使用不同類型的單詞難度也不小，但是如果你還在堅持的話，你非常努力的話，那你就應該繼續堅持下去。
堅持不懈的人不斷努力去獲得成功，就算困難也是如此。即便有時會比較艱難，但是他們會繼續前行。
So someone with perseverance keeps trying to succeed even when it's difficult.
Even when things are hard, they keep going. When they get stuck, they find a way around it.
當他們被困難所困的時候，他們會尋找方式避開。當他們失敗的時候，他們會繼續嘗試，他們並不會放棄。
When they fail, they try again, they don't give up. So perseverance, it really isn't something that you can learn.
所以持之以恆並不是你能夠學習到的東西。你或許對於自己實現某件事情有非常強烈的願望，不然就沒有。
You either have a really strong desire in you to achieve something or you don't. So I've got a question for you.
所以我為大家準備了一個問題。你有持之以恆的決心讓自己的英語變得流暢嗎？
Do you have the perseverance to become fluent in English? Can you keep going even when it's difficult?
即使艱難險阻，你也會繼續前進嗎？因為大家在和我一起練習了，我知道你們都不會輕易放棄的。
Since you're here and you're practising with me I know that you don't give up easily. You have perseverance or determination.
大家擁有持之以恆的信念。大家都非常堅決。
You're very determined. Or tenacity, you're very tenacious.
或者是頑強的鬥志，大家都非常頑強。這都是持之以恆的象徵。
These are all synonyms of perseverance. Let's focus on the pronunciation for a second.
讓我們先看一下發音吧。持之以恆。
Perseverance. That third syllable is the stressed one, perseverance, perseverance.
第三個音節重讀，堅持，堅持。不要忘記最後的輔音，雙輔音。
Don't forget that consonant sound at the end, that double consonant. Perseverance. Perseverance.
持之以恆。持之以恆。經常在困難的境況中聽到『堅持』這個動詞是吧？
Now it's really common to hear the verb 'persevere' in difficult situations, right?
She chose a difficult career path but she persevered and she graduated with the degree that she wanted.
她選擇了一條困難的職業發展道路，但是她堅持下來了，她順利畢業，獲得了她想要的學位。你能想到你曾為之堅持的事情嗎？
Can you think of anything that you have persevered through?
Any of the mama's out there, well, you've persevered through childbirth, right?
所有的母親都從分娩中挺過來了，是吧？那些前幾次駕照考試失敗的人，最後才成功獲得了駕照，你們也堅持下來了。
Anyone who's failed their driver's license several times before, maybe before they finally got it, well you persevered as well.
So I hope this lesson has inspired you to be a little more courageous with your English vocabulary and that you're motivated to use these words again soon.
所以我希望這節課能夠激勵大家更加勇於面對自己的英語詞彙，而且動力滿滿地使用這些詞彙。如果你們覺得有點不確定如何使用其中的某些單詞的話，那就練習在評論區造句吧，我會為大家檢查的。
If you're feeling a little uncertain or a little unsure about how to use some of these words, then practise by writing some sentences in the comments below so that I can check them for you.
I've also got a little quiz over on the mmmEnglish blog so you can test what you learned here today.
我在美味英語博客準備了一個小測試，所以大家可以測試一下今天學到的東西。連結就在下方的描述區，或者就在旁邊。
