【Pronunciation】【發(fā)音技巧】英美發(fā)音的不同點(diǎn)

1.當(dāng)字母r出現(xiàn)在單詞的元音字母組合中時(shí),北美英語會出現(xiàn)獨(dú)特的卷舌音。也就是元音發(fā)音完畢后,要很流暢地將舌尖向后卷,但不得接觸上腭。5.美式英語中的t:字母t可出現(xiàn)在單詞的詞首、詞中和詞尾三個(gè)部位。其中在詞首與詞尾時(shí)的發(fā)音技巧與英式英語相同。例如:。而在詞中時(shí),英國人的讀法和詞首、詞尾一致,美國人卻有兩種讀法。由舌尖彈動發(fā)出的彈舌音,聽起來像一個(gè)非常輕的/d/。例如:better
