The UK is incredibly diverse in terms of accents, and it just so happens that I can do many of these accents as my party trick. So come with me as I take you on a guided tour through all of the accents and archetype of Great Britain.

英国有非常多不同的腔调，随处都可以听到，所以我常常模仿这些腔调，当作我的才艺表演。现在，我就是大家的导游，带领大家欣赏大英帝国各式各样的腔调和风格。

Hi I’m Siobhan Thompson and this is anglophenia. And what I’m speaking right now is RP, received pronunciation, or you know, your standard BBC English. It’s spoken across the country, generally by middle and upper class people. Think of Martin Freeman, Benedict Cumberbatch, you know, most of the presenters of BBC news. So, good evening, it’s 9 o’clock and this is the news. I’m very important.

大家好，我是 Siobhan Thompson，欢迎收看 Anglophenia。我现在用公认发音说话。公认发音，或是在BBC听到的标准发音，不同城市的中上阶级人物都用公认发音说话，例如：Martin Freeman和 Benedict Cumberbatch，BBC 新闻大多是这样播报：“早安，欢迎收看九点新闻”，“我非常重要。”

Heightened RP is generally only spoken on film and television now. So you’re gonna think of Nell Card or the dull encounters in Downton Abbey. "Oh Gerald I do love you but you’re so terribly, terribly poor."

高阶公认发音是目前唯一出现在电影及电视中的腔调，想像和 Nell Card 在《唐顿庄园》里幽会，“Gerald，我爱你，但你真的太穷了。”

Now, London is the accent that most people outside of Britain can recognize, you know, that classic Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. "Get out of my pub! Go on, get out of it! " "Shut it you tart ! "

伦敦腔是非英国人最为熟知的腔调，经典的《两根枪管》：“滚出我的酒吧！快滚开！”“臭婊子，闭嘴！”

East Anglia is a flat, boggy kind of place, with a flat, boggy kind of accent. I’d love to give you an example of somebody that comes from there that speaks like this, But they all lose this accent as they can. Steven Froy is from Norfolk, but he doesn’t speak like this cuz he’s posh. Here’s a classical kind of East Anglia phrase: I dun drop my computer in the fan and now it’s broken. 

东英吉利是个平坦又多沼泽的地方，东英吉利腔调又平又黏，我举当地人所说出来的话作为例子，但他们几乎都不会讲这种腔调了，Steven Froy 来自诺福克，但他很优雅，所以他不会这样讲话。我讲一句东英吉利的经典名言：“我没有用电脑砸烂电风扇，但它坏了。”

Now let’s go across the island to the West Country, which is a much rounder sound, it's farmland, full of sheep and cows and apples. Think of Sam Gangee from the Lord of the Rings or Hagrid from the Harry Potter Movies. "Oy you bloody kids get off my land! Or "Mr. Frodo, don’t let them turn me into anything unnatural. "

接下来，我们前往英格兰西南部，这里的腔调较圆滑，那里有许多农田、羊、牛和苹果，而这里的代表人物是《魔戒》的 Sam Gangee 和《哈利波特》的 Hagrid。“死小孩，快滚出去！”或是“Frodo，别让他们把我变得这么奇怪。”

Then when you get down to Cornwall, it gets a little bit more pirate-y. "So hoist the mizzenmast."

接下来，来到康瓦耳，“升起后桅。”

Now Southern Welsh is this great sing-songy kind of accent. Think of Tom Jones or Richard Burtin, you know "Rage, rage against the dying of the light." "Bloody hell I love Dillan Thomas." 

南威尔斯是最有乐感的腔调，你会想到 Tom Jones 或 Richard Burtin，“别温驯地步入美好的夜晚”“我爱死 Dillan Thomas 了。”

Northern Welsh is where singer Duffy is from, it’s a breathy, thicker kind of accent. And most people from there speak Welsh at home and English as a second language. So, you know, (Welsh) 

歌手 Duffy 来自北威尔斯，这里的腔调带浓厚的呼吸声，在这里，威尔斯语是母语，英语是第二语言所以你知道谢谢你的威尔斯语怎么说啦！

Now, cross the country to the West Midlands in Birmingham, And it’s a very nasal kind of an accent, mostly on a () through went on in the area. Cat Deeley, who presents So You Think You Can Dance is from there. And so is Ozzy Osbourne, you know "Sharon, where's the bloody remote?" Yeah, that voice that he does isn’t a joke, it’s just where he’s from. 

现在来到伯明罕的西米德兰兹郡，这里的腔调鼻音很重，大多会出现「欧」字当作连音，Cat Deeley就在那里主持《舞林争霸》。还有 Ozzy Osbourne，你一定听过“Sharon，那该死的遥控器跑去哪了？”他的声音不是装的，而那证明了他来自西米德兰兹郡。

Scouse is your classical Liverpool accent. The Beatles are from there and so is Paul McGann. They also made European capital of culture called 4 years ago by the EU, so don’t tell me that they’re not cultured, alright? 

利物浦语是利物浦的经典腔调，披头士和 Paul McGann 都来自这里，四年前，欧盟定利物浦为欧洲文化之都，所以别跟我说他们没文化，好吧？

Authentic Lancashire, you know, think of Christopher Eccleston, or most of the cast of the Downstairs in the Downton Abbey. "Daisy, get the buns out of the oven before they burn! " "Oh, Mr. Bates. "

说到兰开郡，你一定会想到 Christopher Eccleston 或是《唐顿庄园》楼下的许多演员。“Daisy，移开你的屁股，不然它就要被火烧到了！”“喔，Bates 先生。”

So across the Pennines, Yorkshire, it's a much kind of flatter accent from Lancashire. And they cut off a lot of their words. So I'm going to pub uphill, think of Sean Bean from Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones. One does not simply walk into Mordor.

越过本宁山脉，约克郡语比兰开郡语好听多了，他们切断许多字，所以我到山上，就会想到演过《魔戒》和《权力游戏》的 Sean Bean，他是唯一和 Mordor 没有关系的人。

So in Northumberland in Newcastle you speak in a Geordie accent, so you know, think of the Geordie shore, or Cheryl Cole, remember she got fired from X-Factor cuz nobody could understand a word she was saying. Or Billy Elliot! "All I want to do is dance ballet but my dad makes me box."

纽卡斯尔的诺森伯兰人有俗称 Geordie 的口音，所以你一定会想到《英伦玩咖日记》，或是 Cheryl Cole，还记得她因为太难听懂的口音而被踢出美国版《X音素》吗？或是舞动人生，“我很想学芭蕾，但我爸爸却给我一个箱子。”

Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland, it’s a very soft, maybe a little snotty kind of an accent. Think of Ewan McGregor or Dame Maggie Smith, that’s Professor McGonagall. "That’s 10 points taken from Gryffindor, Mr. Potter."

爱丁堡是苏格兰的首都，这里的腔调很柔，听起来好像含着鼻涕。你可以想想 Ewan McGregor 或 Dame Maggie Smith，哈利波特中的麦教授，“波特先生，葛莱芬多扣十分。”

Glasgow is a much thicker kind of an accent. Billy Connolly and Peter Capaldi are both from there. They cut off a lot of their words, so, "uh, have you got any bottles, sir, got to go to the shop you know? "

格拉斯哥方言腔调较浓厚，Billy Connolly 和 Peter Capaldi 都来自格拉斯哥，他们讲话都会把字切断：“你会买杯喝的吗？先生，去商店的时候？“”

So, up to the very North to the Highlands of Scotland. Think of Amy Pond from Doctor Who, or maybe Sir Robert Burns. "The best-laid schemes o’ mice an’ men gang aft agley."

往北移动到苏格兰高地，你想想《神秘博士》里的 Amy Pond 和 Robert Burns，“即使你仔细安排，但事情还是可能会搞砸。”

Now let’s go to North Ireland and it's all about the vowels with the Northern Ireland Accent, Like, so like, "Hi Neighbor and all." Liam Neeson is from there. "We’ve got a very particular set of skills. " I know he doesn't say it in that accent in the movie but it sounds well so, like.

现在来到北爱尔兰，北爱尔兰的腔调主要在母音的发音方式不同，例如：“嗨，大家好！” Liam Neeson 就来自这里，“我们有很特别的技术。”我知道在电影里，他没有用这种腔调说话，但这样听起来也不错。

And finally, Southern Ireland is obviously not a part of the United Kingdom but obviously I can do a Dublin accent so let's just do it. It's a pretty classic Irish accent with a lot of assonance to it. So Sinéad O’Connor’s from there. "Nothing compares. Nothing compares to you." 

最后，南爱尔兰虽然不是大英帝国的一部份，但我还可以模仿都柏林的腔调。经典的爱尔兰方言带有谐音，歌手 Sinéad O’Connor 来自南爱尔兰。“没有事情能比较，没有任何事情能和你比较。”
