In a previous video, we explored the two affricates, or complex consonant sounds, of American English.

在之前的一个视频里，我们探索了美式英语中的两个破擦音，或者叫复杂辅音。

Another way to think of this is stop sound plus fricative sound equals affricate.

另一个思考的方法是爆破音加上擦音等于破擦音。

In a previous video, I described affricates as being kind of like addition - one plus one equals two.

在之前的一个视频里，我说破擦音有点像加法 —— 一加一等于二。

But there is another important difference between the two affricate sounds of English: voicing.

浊化。

So the combination d-g sound, " dg" is an affricate in American English for judge becomes " j" .

所以组合d-g发音， “dg” 是美式英语中的塞擦音， 判断变成“j” 。
