Coquettish Rebirth

"Welcome everyone to our Fox focus moment today. In the next hour, we will not focus on financial, religious, political and other issues as usual. Hero 3 The Dark Knight Rises" is such a movie. ●⌒, and at the same time, I am very happy to tell you that Mr. Jia Hongjian, the main creator of this movie and also the director and producer of this movie, also came to our show today Room. Hello, Hung-chien..." Anna, a beautiful hostess, greeted Jia Hung-chien with a smile. "Hello Anna, hello Chris, hello everyone in front of the TV, I'm Jia Hongjian." Jia Hongjian was very handsome at this time, wearing a very formal suit, sitting on the sofa next to the two hosts , said to the camera with a tall-rich-handsome appearance.

In fact, Jia Hongjian himself was not handsome, he could only be said to have good facial features, at most he could be described as more handsome.But as the saying goes, the Buddha wants a man in a golden suit to depend on his clothes. This is a tailor-made suit specially made by a high-end tailor using top-quality fabrics. Jia Hongjian didn't say he was handsome, but he also looked very high-end, well-connected and well-educated!Especially when the male and female hosts were all dressed in "casual clothes", it seemed that Jia Hongjian's class was high!That's right, when the male host is wearing a casual suit without a tie, and when the female host is wearing a beautiful long skirt, Jia Hongjian looks like he is attending a top-level dinner The same suit, it looks formal and "accented"!It seems very "noble upbringing"!You must know that a country like the United States is a country built entirely of mud legs. From the beginning of their establishment to the present, they can't wait to kneel down and lick the feudal remnants of the old European world like nobles!

Although it is definitely not kneeling and licking in politics, it is in the thinking of many people in the folk.That's really the rhythm that I can't wait to kneel and lick!Just like what I said before, the rich people in the United States used all kinds of money to find European aristocrats and settle down in order to let their bloodlines match those of other European nobles!And now, all kinds of girls in the United States think that those who speak with a British rp accent are particularly aristocratic and sexy!What is rp accent?To put it bluntly, it is the voice of people in a small corner of Oxford, and it also happens to be the English accent of the British royal family, and it is also the voice of the BBC and other TV stations in the UK.Such an accent is very stylish in the eyes of Americans!It's very vocal!If a man speaks with an American accent and a British accent, the level in the eyes of Americans will be different immediately!

In fact, it's funny to say that in the UK, there really is no such concept as "Mandarin".So the various accents in the United Kingdom and the United States are really funny. For example, in the United Kingdom, first of all, there are many accents in London.Next to Royal English is the West London accent.This West London is just like the Upper East Side of New York in the United States. It has historically been a place where various rich people and nobles lived, so of course the people here are actively moving closer to the center.Therefore, the accent of West London is very similar to the accent of the British royal family.Next, it looks like East London, that is another accent, which is much heavier than royal English!Because East London has historically been a place where many immigrants came to live. For example, in the 19th century, many Eastern Europeans and Poles came to live here. It is also a place where thieves and prostitutes are everywhere.Because there are many foreigners, many of the pronunciations are neutralized with English after being integrated, and the pronunciation becomes a bit like a foreign tongue.In movies like Two Smoking Barrels, a lot of people have basically East London accents.As for the East London accent, the sound of the first consonant can't be pronounced when a tongue like think is placed between the teeth.So just use the "f" sound instead or something.

For example, the protagonist Harry in Harry Potter actually speaks East End English, and Miss Hermione speaks authentic RP English, with an accent from the Oxford area!As for the North End of London, it also has its own accent—such an accent in the North End of London is relatively similar to the Mandarin of Wu Dialect in Jiangnan, China.It's more fat, so when girls say it, it's really attractive!At the same time, there is something called "Harbor English" in south London, because this place was historically the port of the Thames and the sea in London, so there are quite a lot of dock workers in this southern area.Workers?There must be a lot of colloquialisms in English, so this southern English can be regarded as capital English with some accents, which is similar to the difference between the old capital dialect and Mandarin—the old capital dialect also sounds very oily, and there are all kinds of accents. Children's voice is not it?Putonghua at least doesn't have so many voices.

In addition to the various accents in London, which is a bit more temperamental, the entire southern part of England is relatively close to London, and the accent is generally similar to that of London as a whole—in other words, it can still be used in China. People who have learned English can understand it, like places like Birmingham. Although there are a lot of foreigners who come here to work as workers in an important industrial town, the accent is a bit strange, but it is still southern English as a whole, and it is easier to understand. .Further north, in places like Newcastle and Manchester, the accent is really hard to understand.There was even a rumor among foreign students that when a local London girl went to Manchester, she needed a translator to help translate what the locals said!

And the accent in this northern region is weird enough, and the accent in Liverpool, which is also in the northern region, doesn't sound like English at all-because Liverpool is originally a port city, so the languages ​​​​of sailors and businessmen from all over the world can speak It had an impact on the city, and after a long time, the Liverpool dialect sounded so weird that people like Manchester couldn't understand it!If Liverpool’s English already feels like a foreign language, then further north to Scotland, the English is spoken... it’s better to say that they are speaking German!That's right, this Scot speaks English, and the accent is so heavy that it feels like he is listening to German!It is really the rhythm that the other party said ten sentences in English, and the English may not understand the last sentence!

Besides this Scottish "German" English, something like Irish English is also funny.I don't know if the Irishman is not as good at pronouncing the th sound as foreigners who come to the UK, so he simplified it.For the pronunciation of 3 like "three", they pronounce it into the sound of "tree", and then like "thankyou" thank you, they can pronounce it into "tankyou" to tank you!Britain, which is so fart, will look like southern China. It seems that eight villages in ten miles can't wait to have their own dialect, but when it comes to the United States, the accent is not so exaggerated.Relatively speaking, there are only four or five types of American accents, and the first is the Northeast accent.

Because the northeast of the United States existed as a British colony for the first time in history, the accent here still retains the characteristics of the British accent, which is relatively closer to the British accent.But there is one exception - New York, the accent of this New Yorker was like that of a gangster film in a movie in the early years, or it was the New York accent that those gangsters spoke.It is said that this is the result of the joint action of Irish immigrants, Italian immigrants, Eastern European Jewish immigrants, and Northern European immigrants.However, these accents are still the accents of the old era after all, and now basically only in places where some old New Yorkers gather and are relatively common people, this kind of accent may be heard.It is impossible to say such things in places like those elites on Wall Street!

And the next thing is the American southern accent, like Texas or something, that's all southern American.The pronunciation of the white people here is quite strange compared to the north. They can't distinguish the long nasal sound from the short nasal sound, which is a bit like the feeling of being unable to distinguish "Ning" from "You" in Chinese!If the southern Americans speak Chinese, when they say "rather", according to their pronunciation habits, they will probably say "you wish"!Then the southern accent, the nasal sound is still heavy, and the two sounds of "pin" and "pen" can't be distinguished in the end!And the accent that is somewhat similar to the southern accent is the African American accent.It may be because a large number of black Americans were slaves in the South, so a large number of people also acquired a southern accent, but I don’t know if it is a natural reason for the black race. When they speak the southern accent, they can also use the southern accent. It's very black like them!So at this time, the black accent can become an accent independently.

Next, there is the Midwestern accent, especially in places like Los Angeles, where the accent is relatively fun. In short, it is all kinds of lazy and various "children's voice".For example, "hot", which is pronounced as "Hot" in British English, is "Hart" in Midwestern American English. Similarly, it is like god, which is obviously "God" in the UK. In this American West is "Gard".Then there are all kinds of children's voices, which are also very funny. For example, "letter" is such a word, and people in the Midwest can pronounce the middle t into a d sound!Of course, such a pronunciation, in fact, people who understand it will know that it is a way of being lazy, just like people in the capital can use various accents when they usually speak, but on a slightly more formal occasion, even if They can't change it to Mandarin, but the various children's voices will be restrained a lot.It's also like this kind of lazy English accent in the Midwest, what t sounds like a d sound, etc., it will be a lot more restrained in formal occasions.

Why so many introductions?That's because Jia Hongjian is now in front of the camera, and he is speaking English with a British accent, and he is also pretending to speak British rp, or royal English!He came here today just to pretend! (To be continued..)
