Then your glottis snaps shut, and puts a lid over your trachea.

接着你的声门会突然合上，并且封闭气管。

I'm recording this audio to ask you about glottal stop consonants in American English.

我录制这段音频是想问你关于英语中声门停顿辅音的问题。

I keep losing sight of the cords. Give me some burp.

我一直看不见他的声门 搭把手。

In fact, in America, t-glottalization seems to be on the rise.

实际上，在国，t-声门化的现象似乎正在增长。

But because the glottis is closed, a tremendous pressure keeps building up in the air passages.

但因为此时的声门关上了，所以巨大的压力持续在气中积聚。

In a cough-free world, your glottis wouldn't shut, and the air wouldn't get stuck in your lungs and trachea.

在没有咳嗽的世界里，你的声门不会关上，空气也不会憋在肺和气管中。

But I'm thinking when you pucker up and try and kiss, you're also closing your glottis.

但我想当你撅起嘴尝试亲吻时，你也在闭合你的声门。

They are caused by muscles quickly pushing the glottis down, which blocks the entryway  to the lungs.

它们是由肌肉快向下推动声门引起的，声门阻塞了肺部的入口。

(including those near any open ends of the pipe) form the peaks, and therefore the antinodes.

（包括声门尖端的）构 顶点，以及位移中心。

That's a standing wave, and it can happen both in strings and in the air in pipes.

这是一个永久性的浪潮，它可能会发生 在弦乐中，在声门的空气中。

This is followed almost immediately by the sudden closure of the vocal cords and the opening between them, which is called the glottis.

几乎在膈肌收缩的同时，两片声带就开始合拢，关闭它们之间的缝隙。也就是所谓的声门。

But humans are especially prone to choking because our voice box, or larynx, has moved up so high in our throats.

但人类特别容易窒息， 因为我们的声门，也就是喉头， 已经移到了喉咙的很高位置。

But the nature of these waves depends a lot on what the ends of the string or pipe look like.

但这些波的性质在很大程度上取决于 在肌腱或声门末端的外观上。

The sudden expansion of the diaphragm would raise air from the stomach, while a closure of the glottis would prevent milk from entering the lungs.

这种横膈膜的突然膨胀可能引起胃部空气的上升，同时声门的闭合可以避免乳液进入肺部。

And between those peaks, as well as at any closed ends of the pipe, are areas where molecules don't move at all; those are the nodes.

在那些峰顶和声门的任何封闭端之间， 分子不移动的区域是节点。

Dropping that t sound is an example of what linguists call glottalization: the sudden coming together of the vocal cords to block the flow of air, and then opening again.

省略掉 t 的发音是语言学家所称的声门化现象：声带突然闭合以阻止空气流动，然后再次打开。

Though he did include some ejective phonemes, voiceless consonants produced with a contracted glottis, like ch'ah and p'ah, similar to those found in real-world languages like Mayan and Chechen.

尽管他确实包含了一些喷出音素，清音辅音是用收缩的声门产生的，比如 ch'ah 和 p'ah， 类似于玛雅语和车臣语等现实世界语言中的辅音。
