A classic American summer treat: s'mores.

Delicious!

Now, I got this information on the internet, so I'm not sure how true it is. But I saw

a couple different sources that said s'mores came to be in the early 1900s, maybe originated

by the girl scouts. S'mores comes from the words some more. It's been shortened -- s'mores.

So, we pronounce this first with the S sound, ss. Then into the M consonant sound: sm-,

sm-. Next can either be the 'aw' as in 'law' vowel or the 'oh' as in 'no' diphthong, followed

by the R. Smo-, smor-, s'mores. The final sound is the Z sound. It's plural here, the

S, and it's pronounced as a Z because the sound before is a voiced sound. S'mores.

The ingredients one needs: marshmallows, graham crackers, and, the key ingredient, chocolate bars.

Did you notice? The word THE occurred twice in that clip. Once it was pronounced

with the 'ee' as in 'she' vowel, and once with the schwa vowel. "The ingredients one

needs ... the key ingredient, chocolate bars." The rule is: when the next word begins with

a vowel sound, the word THE is pronounced with the 'ee' as in 'she' vowel, as in, 'the

ingredients.' The, the, the ingredients. When the next word begins with a consonant sound,

it is pronounced with the schwa vowel. The key, the key, the the. So, the difference: the, the.

The ingredients one needs: marshmallows, graham crackers, and, the key ingredient, chocolate bars.

We're lucky to have a fire pit in our back yard. An open flame or hot

coals: key to roasting marshmallows.

Hold on, I have a poker! ... Yeah.

First, I like to prep my graham cracker. So, break it in half. Then, I like to go with

a whole half of a chocolate bar. Some people just do three squares, I really need six.

And now for the marshmallows. Put them on the stick, and stick them in the fire.

And now, with the top graham, we squeeze the marshmallow so we can pull out the stick.

Can you see it?

Now hopefully, if you've done it right, the marshmallows will start to melt the chocolate. YUM!

It's a very sticky, but delicious, treat.

It really is. You can't eat this in fine company. Luckily, I'm not in fine company.

You say as you pan to me. You just happened to be next Clara. No offense.

This is so good.

Is this your first s'more? Ooo, give me a review, would you? How are you enjoying

your first s'more experience? Charlotte is from the Netherlands.

It's delicious. What's your favorite part?

The chocolate and the s'more and then the cookies ...

So basically, everything. That's the joy of s'more.

It is. All of it together.

See, sometimes I put the piece of chocolate in the gr-- in the marshmallow, and then I

stick that in the fire. But you have to be careful ...

How does that not fall off? Well, if you spear the stick through the

marshmallow and the chocolate, and make sure the chocolate is deeply embedded inside the

marshmallow ...

Can you show me this technique?

I can ... ok. So I split the marshmallow. It is a bit sticky.

I'm having problems focusing because it's so ...

It is rather dark. ... low in the light.

And then, I'll put the piece of chocolate right in there. Maybe double it up. Try to

close this up a little bit. And then, spear it right through with the stick. And then,

you just have to roast it while keeping the chocolate end up so it doesn't melt or fall out.

Wow.

So Lindsay, tell me about your variation. That you put, instead of a chocolate -- slab

of chocolate, which is delicious, but you can also make it with a Reese's peanut butter

cup. And it's peanut buttery and chocolaty.

And chocolaty. That sounds really good.

It's really really good. So who gets the peanut butter?

Charlotte, did you put peanut butter on that? Wow. Ok. I want to, I want you to taste

this and let me know how it is.

Ok.

What do you think? Better with or without peanut butter?

It's interesting. You really have to love chocolate and peanut butter together.

Do you? I do.

So is this better than without peanut butter? I wouldn't say it's better. >> Just different.

Just different. But also very good.

That's it, and thanks so much for using Rachel's English.

经典的美国夏季美食：s'mores。

好吃！

现在，我在互联网上得到了这个信息， 所以我不确定它的真实性。 但我

看到几个不同的消息来源说 s'mores 出现在 1900 年代初期，可能起源

于女童子军。 S'mores 来自 一些更多的词。 它被缩短了——s'mores。

所以，我们首先用 S 音 ss 发音。 然后变成M辅音：sm-，

sm-。 接下来可以是 'law' 元音中的 'aw' 或 'no' 双元音中的 'oh'，然后

是 R. Smo-, smor-, s'mores。 最后的 声音是 Z 音。 这里是复数，

S，发音为 Z，因为 前面的声音是浊音。 羊肚菌。

一个人需要的成分：棉花糖、全麦 饼干，以及关键成分，巧克力棒。

你注意到了吗？ 那个词 在那个剪辑中出现了两次。 一次它

与“她”元音中的“ee”一起发音，一次 与 schwa 元音一起发音。 “人们需要的成分

......关键成分，巧克力棒。” 规则是：当下一个单词以元音开头时

，单词 THE 发音 为“ee”，如“she”元音，如“

成分”。 该，该，成分。 当下一个单词以辅音开头时，

它以 schwa 元音发音。 关键，关键，那个。 所以，区别：那个，那个。

一个人需要的成分：棉花糖、 全麦饼干，以及关键成分，巧克力棒。

我们很幸运 在我们的后院有一个火坑。 明火或热

煤：烤棉花糖的关键。

等等，我有扑克！ ... 是的。

首先，我喜欢准备我的全麦饼干。 所以， 把它分成两半。 然后，我喜欢吃

一整块巧克力棒。 有些人 只做三个方块，我真的需要六个。

现在是棉花糖。 把它们 放在棍子上，然后把它们放在火里。

现在，用顶部的格雷厄姆，我们挤压 棉花糖，这样我们就可以拔出棍子了。

你能看见它吗？

现在希望，如果你做得对 ，棉花糖会开始融化巧克力。 嗯！

这是一种很粘但很好吃的零食。

确实如此。 你不能在好的 公司里吃这个。 幸运的是，我不是很好的公司。

你一边说一边对我说。 你恰好是下一个 Clara。 没有冒犯的意思。

这太好了。

这是你的第一个s'more？ 哦，给我 一个评论，好吗？ 您如何享受

您的第一次体验？ 夏洛特 来自荷兰。

很好吃。 你最喜欢的部分是什么？

巧克力和 s'more，然后是 饼干......

基本上，一切。 这就是 s'more 的乐趣。

是的。 所有这些都在一起。

看，有时我把一块巧克力 放在棉花糖里，然后我

把它粘在火里。 但你必须 小心...

那怎么不掉下来？ 好吧，如果你用棍子

刺穿棉花糖和巧克力，并 确保巧克力深深嵌入

棉花糖中……

你能告诉我这个技巧吗？

我可以……好的。 所以我把棉花糖分开了。 它有点粘。

我无法集中注意力，因为它 太……

太暗了。 ... 光线不足。

然后，我会把那块巧克力放进 去。 也许加倍。 试着把它

关闭一点。 然后， 用棍子把它刺穿。 然后，

你只需要烘烤它，同时保持 巧克力最终不会融化或脱落。

哇。

所以林赛，告诉我你的变化。 你放的不是巧克力——

一块巧克力，很好吃，但你 也可以用里斯的花生酱

杯来做。 它是花生酱和巧克力。

还有巧克力。 这听起来真的很好。

这真的很好。 那么谁得到花生酱呢？

夏洛特，你在上面放了花生酱 吗？ 哇。 行。 我想，我想让你尝尝

这个，让我知道它是怎么回事。

好的。

你怎么看？ 有或没有 花生酱更好？

这很有趣。 你真的必须一起爱 巧克力和花生酱。

你呢？ 我愿意。

那么这比没有花生酱更好吗？ 我不会说它更好。 >> 只是不同。

只是不同。 但也非常好。

就是这样，非常感谢您使用 Rachel 的英语。
