" ... into movements of the tongue and the other speech articulators that convey these thoughts to another person."

“...舌头上的动作，解释些把这些想法传达给另一个人的。”

Of course, it's not speech because to speak, I have to move my vocal tract, I have to move the articulators.

当然，这还不是说话，若要说话，我还得去动我的声道，动我的官。

So look at native speakers talking and see where they're moving their articulators.

所以看看母语人士说话， 看看他们将移动到哪里。

So articulators are the bits and pieces of you that move to create words.

因此，是您移动以创造单词的点点滴滴。

Now, a good vowel definition, in terms of pronunciation, is that the articulators hold a shape but they don't actually touch.

，而言，元的定义是：官保持一个形状，但实际上并不接触。

(Sound) Of course, it's not speechbecause to speak, I have to move my vocal tract, I have to move the articulators.

（声）当然， 这不是说话， 因为要说话，我必须移动我的声道， 我必须移动。

But to make words, we need to shape those sound waves using articulators, things like our tongues, lips, teeth, and various other features.

但为了声，我们需要用来塑造声波，比如舌头、嘴唇、牙齿和其他各种特征。

Now, just before I give you an example, to be clear, the articulators are the lips, the tongue, the hard and soft palate, and teeth.

在我举例子之前，先说清楚一点，官是嘴唇、舌头硬腭和软腭，还有牙齿。

Now, a good consonant definition, in term of pronunciation, is that with consonants, the articulators either touch or they come are very, very close to one another.

要接触，要彼此非常接近。

Now, just before I give you some examples, just to be clear that the articulators are the tongue, and lips, and teeth, and hard and soft palate.

在我给你们举一些例子之前，先说清楚一点，官是舌头，嘴唇，牙齿，硬腭和软腭。

So, in answer to your question, 'what is a vowel', well, a good definition is that vowels are made with the articulators holding a shape but not actually touching.

所以，要回答你的问题：“什是元”，一个很好的定义是官保持一个形状，但实际上并没有接触。

What's weird is that all these different sounds made with different articulators are represented with just one symbol and considered to be part of the same phonetic family, known as rhotics.

奇怪的是，用不同的出的所有这些不同的声只用一个符号表示， 并被认为是同一个语家族的一部分，称为 rhotics。

Well, a good definition of consonance sounds is that it is a sound whereby the articulators either touch or almost touch and then releasing suddenly or slowly or they hold their position.

辅的定义是官要接触，要彼此非常接近，然后突然或缓慢地释放声，或者保持它们的位置。

The different moving parts are known as articulators, and the main ones are the tongue, upper lip, lower lip, upper teeth, alveolar ridge, hard palate, soft palate, uvula, the pharyngeal wall, and the glottis.

不同的运动部件被称为，主要的是舌头、上唇、下唇、上牙、牙槽嵴、硬腭、软腭、悬雍垂、咽壁和声门。

And with the OO vowel sound, as in 'who', 'shoe' and 'move', the lips are rounded and the back of the tongue is high but again, nothing actually touches, it just, the articulators just hold a shape.

单词“who”，“shoe”和“move”中的 OO ，嘴唇张成圆形，舌头背面抬高，同样没有触碰，官只是保持一个形状。

Now, we do have 3 consonants that don't follow that rule exactly, in fact, they don't touch, the articulators don't touch with these three consonants, instead the articulators approximate with one another.

我们有三个辅没有完全遵守这个规则，事实上，在三个的时候官并不接触，而是彼此非常接近。
