Last time we learned "Just between us." which means "這件事就你和我知道，不要告訴別人。" And today I would like to share a new one with you which is relative with a ghost and I wish you wouldn't be frightened. For me, it's the other way around, I think, it's as good as a play. What's it? Let's listen to a simple situational dialogue and find it .
A : These letters are from the rogue.Don't tell a soul.
B : Alright. What are they say inside.

【答疑解惑】
It is " Don't tell a soul. " This warns somebody not to tell anyone else. It's like saying " Don't discuss with anyone else." Soul 有鬼魂的意思。For example: He feared the soul of his deceased wife would haunt him. 他害怕亡妻的鬼魂會來纏擾他。 但是也有“人”的意思。For example: You saw hardly a soul in the village. 在村子里,你幾乎看不到什么人。Talking of it , it's easy to catch this short sentence : Don't tell a soul. It's similar to saying in Chinese :" 不要告訴別人。" “別傳出去。”

【即學即用】
And now let's put it into practice. Please translate the following sentences into English.

Think them hard and the answers will be given later.
1 You aren't going to tell a soul. Don't repeat any of it.
2 Don't tell a soul, not even your mom.

【聽透美語】
Please listen to me read the dialogue to spot the differences between my pronunciation in my speech and the pronunciation in the recording.
A : These letters are from the rogue.Don't tell a soul.
B : Alright. What are they say inside.
We should pay attention to the following places.
1 letters are from
It is pronounced as [ˈledərza:frəm] in my speech.
【點撥】letters以輔音[z]結尾，are的發音是[a:], 輔音和元音連讀[za:] , from的弱讀為[frəm], letter美語發音為['ledər]. The stress falls on the first syllable.
2 Don't tell a
It is pronounced as ['dəutelə] in my speech.
【點撥】don't 的最后一個音標與tell的第一個音標相同，都是[t],則省去前面的[t]的發音，tell以輔音[l]結尾，a 的發音是[ə], 將其連讀為[lə].
3 what are
It is pronounced as[whɔta:].

【小題大作】
1 What are they say inside.
【翻譯】信中寫了些什么？
【關鍵詞】"Inside" means "in those letters". "Say" which is then key word in this sentence means " express opinions on something". For example: Say what you like about her, she is a fine singer. 隨你怎么說，反正她唱歌唱得好。How should we put "你說呢？" . Let's look at a sentence: Anna thinks I'm lazy, what do you say? Anna說我很懶，你說呢？How to express "并不是說"？It is "That is not to say." For example: That is not to say it's a bad movie. 并不是說這部電影很糟糕。And what's English for "要我說的話"？We have a sentence: I wouldn't say they were rich. 要我說的話，他們并不富裕。What's more, here is short sentence including "say" means " I don't know." let's look at a dialogue: "when will it be finished?" "I couldn't say." "什么時候能完工？"“不好說。”
2 Don't tell a soul.
【翻譯】別傳出去。
【關鍵詞】In this sentence , soul is the key word. It refers to a person of a particular type. 指的是某種人。For example: He is a brave soul. 他真勇敢。She's lost all her money, poor soul. 可憐的人，她的錢全沒了。There wasn't a soul in sight. 這個人影都不見。This is village of 300 souls. 這是個有300人的村子。
