" ... into movements of the tongue and the other speech articulators that convey these thoughts to another person."

“...舌头上的动作，解释那些把这些想法传达给另一个人的发音器。”

Of course, it's not speech because to speak, I have to move my vocal tract, I have to move the articulators.

当然，这还不是说话，若要说话，我还得去动我的声道，动我的发音器官。

So look at native speakers talking and see where they're moving their articulators.

所以看看母语人士说话， 看看他们将发音器移动到哪里。

So articulators are the bits and pieces of you that move to create words.

因此，发音器是您移动以创造单词的点点滴滴。

Now, a good vowel definition, in terms of pronunciation, is that the articulators hold a shape but they don't actually touch.

那么，就发音而言，元音的定义是：发音器官保持一个形状，但实际上并不接触。

(Sound) Of course, it's not speechbecause to speak, I have to move my vocal tract, I have to move the articulators.

（声音）当然， 这不是说话， 因为要说话，我必须移动我的声道， 我必须移动发音器。

But to make words, we need to shape those sound waves using articulators, things like our tongues, lips, teeth, and various other features.

但为了发声，我们需要用发音器来塑造声波，比如舌头、嘴唇、牙齿和其他各种特征。

Now, just before I give you an example, to be clear, the articulators are the lips, the tongue, the hard and soft palate, and teeth.

在我举例子之前，先说清楚一点，发音器官是嘴唇、舌头硬腭和软腭，还有牙齿。

Now, a good consonant definition, in term of pronunciation, is that with consonants, the articulators either touch or they come are very, very close to one another.

发音器要么接触，要么彼此非常接近。

Now, just before I give you some examples, just to be clear that the articulators are the tongue, and lips, and teeth, and hard and soft palate.

在我给你们举一些例子之前，先说清楚一点，发音器官是舌头，嘴唇，牙齿，硬腭和软腭。
