So the difference between these two words is: 'men' has a pure EH vowel.
所以，这两个词的区别是：“men”有一个纯EH元音，
And 'man' has a modified AA vowel, where we start with the AA but relax into the UH sound.
“man”有一个变更过的AA元音，我们从AA音开始，然后放松发出UH音。
Let's compare these two words up close and in slow motion.
让我们用慢镜头近距离比较这两个词。
Here, the tongue position is almost the same.
这样的话，舌头的位置几乎一样。
For the AA vowel, the back of the tongue is a little higher.
对于AA元音，舌头的后部要高一点。
Now we're just going to play the EH vowel.
现在我们要发EH元音。
Notice how the tongue flips up to the roof of the mouth for the N.
注意舌头是如何翻转到嘴的顶部，发出N音。
Now we'll play the 'man'.
现在我们来发“man”。
See how the tongue relaxes down in the back before the N.
看看在发出N音之前，舌头如何在后面放松。
Now we'll watch the two together.
现在我们一起看下这两个词，
The word 'man' takes a little longer because the vowel changes.
“man”这个词需要更长的时间，因为元音会发生变化。
Here, the tongue position is almost the same.

Now from the front.
现在从前面看。
Again, the tongue position looks almost the same here.
同样，舌头的位置看起来几乎一样。
But the tongue does look a little higher in the back for 'aa'.
但是舌头后面发“aa”音时，看起来确实高一点。
Now watch how 'man' take a little longer as the tongue relaxes in the back.
现在看看发“man”音时，舌头在后面放松，怎么花更长的时间来发音。
Men. Man. Men. Man. Men. Man.
Men、Man、Men、Man、Men、Man。
