大家好，欢迎收听《六分钟词汇》，我是Finn。我是Catherine。

Hello and welcome to Six Minute Vocabulary with me, Finn. And me, Catherine.

本期节目我们将探讨字母组合o u g h的用法。

In this programme, we're talking about the letters o u g h.

是的。字母组合o u g h出现在许多英语单词中，比如cough（咳嗽）、rough（粗糙）、ought（应该）和through（通过）。但它们有多种不同的发音。我们先从乔治的故事开始，他正在讲述去年冬天生病时的经历。

Yes. The letters o u g h are found in lots of English words, including cough, rough, ought and through. But there are lots of different pronunciations. So let's start with George. He's talking about last winter when he was ill.

听的时候请思考这个问题：乔治二月份做了什么？

And think about this question while you listen. What did George do in February?

去年冬天我咳嗽了大约三个月。到二月份时，我觉得应该去看医生了。他给我做了全面检查并开了药。虽然咳嗽一直持续到四月份，但最后我还是康复了。真高兴春天终于来了。

Last winter I had a cough for roughly three months. By February I thought I ought to go to the doctor. He gave me a thorough check and some medicine. I got better in the end, although the cough lasted right through till April. I'm so glad spring's here.

可怜的乔治。我们刚才的问题是：乔治二月份做了什么？

Poor George. And we asked what did George do in February?

嗯，他认为自己应该去看医生，所以他确实去了。

Well, thought that he ought to go to the doctor, so that's what he did.

很好。现在来看thought（想，拼写为t h o u g h t）和ought（应该，拼写为o u g h t）这两个词，它们都包含o u g h组合，发音都是/ɔːt/。

Good. Now the words thought spelled t h o u g h t and ought spelt o u g h t both have the o u g h pattern in them and it's pronounced or thought

ought（应该） thought（想） ought（应该）。还有更多相同发音的ough动词，比如fought（fight的过去式）和bought（buy的过去式）。

ought thought ought. And there are more ough verbs with the same pronunciation like fought the past of fight and bought the past of buy.

以及brought（bring的过去式，拼写为b r o u g h t）。人们有时会混淆bought和brought。凯瑟琳，你能用这两个词造个例句吗？

And brought b r o u g h t the past of bring. People sometimes confuse bought and brought. So Catherine, can you give us an example sentence with both words?

我在超市买了台新电视（I bought a new TV），然后坐出租车把它运回了家（and I brought it home in a taxi）。现在再听一段录音，这段里有多少个o u g h单词？

I bought a new TV from the hypermarket and I brought it home in a taxi. Now let's have another clip and how many o u g h words are there in this one?

去年冬天我咳嗽了大约三个月。

Last winter I had a cough for roughly three months.

所以这里有两个o u g h拼写的单词：咳嗽c o u g h和大约r o u g h l y。Roughly意思是大概。乔治咳嗽了大约或差不多三个月。

So there were two o u g h words there cough c o u g h and roughly r o u g h l y. Roughly means about. So George had a cough for about or roughly three months.

但这两个词的发音不同。Cough里的o u g h发off的音，像off cough。

But the pronunciation of these two words is different. The o u g h in cough sounds like off off cough.

而roughly里的o u g h发off的音，像off roughly。

And the o u g h in roughly sounds like off off roughly.

对。所以我们开始发现这些词的发音其实没有固定规律，Finn。

Right. So we're beginning to see that there is no real rule for pronouncing these words, Finn.

遗憾的是没有。你只能逐个单词去学习和记忆它们的拼写和发音。

Sadly not. That's You're just going to have to learn to spell and say each word on its own.

好的。我们再听一段录音。

Okay. Let's have another clip.

他给我做了全面检查。

He gave me a thorough check.

这里的o u g h单词是thorough t h o r o u g h。意思是彻底且精确的。

And the o u g h word there was thorough t h o r o u g h. It means very careful and exact.

这个发音又不一样。听这个：thorough。结尾是an的音。Thorough。

And the pronunciation is different again. Listen to this one. Thorough. It's an sound right at the end of the word. Thorough.

Thorough。再来听最后一段录音。

Thorough. Here's one more clip.

我最终好转了。虽然咳嗽一直持续到四月份。这次

I got better in the end. Although the cough lasted right through till April. This

我们听到although拼写为a l t h o u g h，through拼写为t h r o u g h。现在although中的ough发音像

time we heard although spelt a l t h o u g h and through spelt t h r o u g h. Now the o u g h in although sounds like

although。而在through中发音像through。

although. And in through it sounds like through.

所以你知道这意味着什么

So you know what that gives us

有多少种？

How many?

字母组合ough有六种不同的发音。

Six different pronunciations for the letters ough.

没错。六种。我们有thought、cough、roughly、thorough、although和through。

That's right. Six of them. We had thought, cough, roughly, thorough, although and through.

实际上英语中ough的发音不止六种，但这些是最常见的。

So in fact there are more than six pronunciations for o u g h in the English language, but these are the most common ones.

现在是测验时间。好的。第一题：动词bring的过去式brought怎么拼写？

And now it's time for the quiz. Okay. Question number one. How do you spell brought, the past simple of the verb bring?

拼作b r o u g h t。

It's b r o u g h t.

很好。第二题：拼写为t h o u g h的单词如何发音？

Very good. Number two. How do you pronounce the word that is spelt t h o u g h?

读作though。Though。

That's though. Though.

没错。第三题：roughly和enough拼写发音相似，roughly怎么拼？

That's the one. Number three, roughly and enough have similar spelling and pronunciation. How do you spell roughly?

拼作r o u g h l y。

It's r o u g h l y.

如果都答对了，很棒。最后送大家一个词汇小技巧：如果手机或电脑支持录音，可以录下易错单词的拼写和发音，需要时回放帮助记忆。

Well done if you got all those right. Now before we go, here's our vocabulary tip. If your phone or computer lets you record audio, try recording the spelling and pronunciation of tricky words so you can play them back if you need help to remember them.
