Both 'hot' and 'coffee' have the AH vowel in American English.
在美式英语中,“hot”和“coffee”都有AH元音。
Hot or iced coffee? (2x) Now let's talk about the AA vowel.
Hot or iced coffee?(2遍)现在我们来学习一下AA元音。
In American English, when this vowel is followed by a nasal consonant, it's no longer a pure vowel.
在美式英语中,当这个元音后面跟一个鼻辅音时,它就不再是一个纯元音了。
With (n) and (m), we have an extra 'uh' sound after the vowel.
在(n)和(m)中,元音后面有一个额外的“uh”音。
If it's followed by (ŋ), the AA vowel changes altogether and sounds more like the AY as in SAY diphthong.
如果后面跟(ŋ),AA元音就会完全改变,听起来更像SAY双元音中的AY。
Check out the video I made for more information on this topic.
请查看我制作的视频,了解有关此主题的更多信息。
Let's look at some example words. First, AA+N. Can, can, can.
让我们来看一些例词。首先来看一下AA+N的单词。Can,can,can。
Do you hear that extra 'uh' sound? Can.
你听到那个额外的“uh”音了吗?Can。
It's what happens as the tongue relaxes down in the back before the tip raises for the N sound.
这就是舌头在舌尖抬高以发出N音之前,舌头在后面放松时的例子。
Can, can. Now, let's hear Minoo say it.
Can. Can,can。现在让我们来听听Minoo是怎么发音的。Can。
The vowel is more pure there, right from the AA into the N sound. Can. (6x)
他发的元音更纯净一些,是从AA到N音。Can。(6遍)
An example with M: ham, ham.
带M的例子:ham,ham。
Again, you can hear the UH sound as my tongue relaxes down in the back before the lips close for the M sound.
在我的嘴唇闭上发出M音之前,我的舌头会在后面放松,你就又会听到UH的声音。
Ham, ham. Minoo says it: Ham. (6x)
Ham,ham。Minoo是这样发音的:Ham。(6遍)
And now when the AA vowel is followed by the NG consonant sound, like in the word 'thanks'.
现在我们来看一下,当AA元音后面跟着NG辅音时,就像单词“thanks”一样。
When we say it, thanks, it's much more like the AY diphthong than the AA vowel. Thanks. (3x)
当我们说“thanks”的时候,它更像AY双元音而不是AA元音。Thanks。(3遍)
Minoo says it: Thank, thanks. (3x)
Minoo是这样发音的:Thank,thanks。(3遍)
And finally, let's talk about the UR vowel.
最后,让我们学习一下UR元音。
This vowel is in words like girl, world, first, hurt, person, worst.
这个元音在girl,world,first,hurt,person,worst这些单词中可以听到。
But in British English, the R sound isn't included. For example, I say 'first'. Minoo says:
但在英式英语中,R音不包括在内。例如,我说“first”。Minoo是这样发音的:
First. (6x) I say 'worst'. Minoo says: Worst. (6x) I say 'girl'. Minoo says: Girl. (6x)
First。(6遍)我这样说“worst”。 Minoo这样说:Worst。(6遍)我这样说“girl”。 Minoo这样说:Girl。(6遍)
So there you have four differences in American vs. British English.
因此,美式英语和英式英语有四个不同之处。
