Hello! I'm John Russell.
大家好！我是约翰·拉塞尔。
English spelling and pronunciation are irregular.
英语拼写和发音不规则。
The written words and the pronunciation do not always match.
书面语和发音并不总是一致的。
There are also some words that are spelled the same way, but their pronunciations are different.
也有一些单词拼写相同，但发音不同。
Luckily, there are creative ways to remember some of these words.
幸运的是，有一些独特的方法来记住其中一些单词。
Consider these two words, both spelled w-i-n-d: Wind, wind, wind, wind.
看看这两个单词，拼写都是w-i-n-d：Wind，wind，wind，wind。
Wind is a verb. It means to turn in a circular motion.
动词wind（蜿蜒；给……上发条）的意思是做圆周运动。
For example: The river winds through the mountains.
例如：这条河蜿蜒流过群山。
Or He winds the clock. He winds the clock.
或者他给钟上发条。他给钟上发条。
Wind is a noun. It is an outdoor current of air. Wind.
名词wind的意思是室外气流。Wind。
For example: The wind is blowing today. The wind is blowing today.
例如：今天刮风。今天刮风。
To help you remember the difference between wind and wind, think back to our example: He winds the clock.
为了帮助你记住wind（风）和wind（蜿蜒；给……上发条）的区别，回想一下我们之前举的例子：他给钟上发条。
A clock is used to tell time.
钟是用来报时的。
And the word "time" has the same vowel sound as "wind": ai. time--wind.
而“time”和“wind”的元音发音相同，都发ai。time--wind。
Let's end with a quiz.
我们以一个小测验结束本期内容吧。
Read the following sentence and pronounce the underlined word.
读下面的句子，并读出划线单词。
The answer is wind. A light wind blew through the trees.
答案是wind（风）。一阵微风吹过树林。
You know this because the underlined word is a noun: wind.
你之所以知道这一点，是因为划线单词是一个名词：wind（风）。
It is not acting like a verb, so it is not wind.
划线单词不作动词，所以它不是wind（蜿蜒；给……上发条）。
That's all for today! Keep up the good work!
今天就到这里吧！继续努力！
