七夕特別筆記：Wedding Wows

Wedding wows

標(biāo)題是個(gè)雙關(guān)，wedding vows 婚禮誓詞，但這里用了wows，體現(xiàn)了一點(diǎn)出乎意料的情緒。這篇文章講的也是中式婚禮的變遷。

How the one-child policy changed Chinese  nuptials .

nuptials必須帶著s，上周我們整理的The Good Wife追劇筆記中也有出現(xiàn)Nuptials的變體：prenuptial婚前發(fā)生的，也經(jīng)?？吹交榍皡f(xié)議的簡(jiǎn)寫pre-nup。

OVERSIZE cupids in pink, furry  outfits  hand out heart-shaped balloons with “I Do” written on them (in English) at a wedding -themed  trade fair in Beijing. Vendors offer romantic  photo-shoots  of couples under water or at a racetrack, personalised wedding cigarettes, and biscuits with names such as “Date & Fate”. An emphasis on love is a new addition to Chinese weddings—and  shines a pink-filtered spotlight on social change.

第一句話中，outfit特指在特殊場(chǎng)合中穿的全套服裝，做及物動(dòng)詞時(shí)，注意介詞搭配：outfit sb./sth. In/with sth. 為……搭配全套裝備/服裝。

-themed這個(gè)構(gòu)詞，以……為主題的，比如a Hawaiian-themed party夏威夷主題的聚會(huì)，themed hotels主題酒店。

photo-shoot 跟photograph不太一樣的地方在于，它是更加專業(yè)的攝影，而且通常是給名人麻豆拍的攝影。

最后一句可以get到一個(gè)很好用的寫作詞組：shine a spotlight on sth，將…置于聚光燈下，可以引申為聚焦于…、關(guān)注…，比如 Campaigners say it's helped to shine a spotlight on the violent consequences of the trade in illicit diamonds. 社會(huì)運(yùn)動(dòng)人士認(rèn)為，此次事件有助人們聚焦非法鉆石交易帶來(lái)的暴力犯罪后果。

For centuries, marriage in China was about ensuring heirs for the groom's family. Ceremonies centred on the groom's  kin : couples  kowtowed  to the man's parents but the woman's relatives were absent. Unusually, both the groom's and the bride's family exchanged money or goods. The more money changed hands, the more opulent  the wedding.

第一句話可以完完整整套用到有關(guān)愛情與婚姻或者中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)家庭觀念等相關(guān)話題的寫作中：For centuries, marriage in China was about ensuring heirs for the groom's family. 幾百年來(lái)，結(jié)婚在中國(guó)意味著確保新郎家的香火延續(xù)。

heir [eər] ，注意沒(méi)有h的音，繼承人，后嗣，就是國(guó)人說(shuō)的香火。 

kin統(tǒng)稱家屬，親屬，加上后綴-ship，kinship，則可表示親情或親密的感情。

kowtow 這個(gè)詞應(yīng)該是從中文音譯過(guò)去的，扣頭，很自然地聯(lián)想到卑躬屈膝、馬首是瞻的樣子，所以可以引申為順從巴結(jié)，比如如果你看不慣辦公室里的馬屁精戲精，你可以在心里默默diss：See how stupidly they kow-tow to persons higher in the hierarchy. 瞧他們對(duì)上級(jí)唯命是從的樣子是多么的愚蠢?？矗琸owtow這個(gè)詞更多用于貶義。

最后一句關(guān)注這個(gè)詞opulent [ˈɒpjʊlənt]極富有的，闊綽的，這句話是說(shuō)，轉(zhuǎn)手的彩禮錢越多，婚禮越奢華。

After it  came to power  in 1949, the Communist Party  imposed frugality .  Dowries consisted of necessities like  bed linen  or a bicycle; guests brought their own  food coupons .  But since the 1980s the extravagance of nuptials has matched the country's rise. Celebrations moved out of homes into hotels. Brides  swapped traditional red dresses  for  white,  flouncy meringue-like  ones (some now wear both, in sequence).

Come to power，也可以用rise to power，當(dāng)權(quán)執(zhí)政。

中文里常說(shuō)提倡勤儉節(jié)約，第一句就提供了表達(dá)impose frugality，動(dòng)詞也可以用practice.

接下來(lái)的幾個(gè)名詞比較中國(guó)特色，dowry嫁妝，bed linen床單枕套，food coupon就是粑粑麻麻小時(shí)候國(guó)家發(fā)行的糧票啦。

But since the 1980s the extravagance of nuptials has matched the country's rise.這句話寫得很簡(jiǎn)潔，主要是match一詞用得不錯(cuò)。從字面來(lái)看，婚禮的鋪張趕上了國(guó)家的興盛。那也就是體現(xiàn)一個(gè)前因后果，國(guó)家富裕了之后，婚禮也開始鋪張浪費(fèi)大操大辦起來(lái)。

注意到?jīng)]有，這句話還有frugality的反義詞extravagance。

最后一句話注意swap sth for sth，把……換成……，下次用這個(gè)詞組替換replace。

女生愛穿的荷葉邊衣服，荷葉邊怎么說(shuō)？Flounce，荷葉邊的裙子穿上身之后，走起路來(lái)裙擺就一抖一抖的，所以也有那么一點(diǎn)盛氣凌人的感覺(jué)。flounce做動(dòng)詞就有了這么一個(gè)意思，怒氣沖沖的走路，flounce out of the room氣呼呼地走出了房間，可以聯(lián)想著記憶。

meringue蛋白酥，meringue-like 像蛋白酥的一樣的，這個(gè)構(gòu)詞法跟前面提到的-themed是一樣的。 

A large industry has emerged to serve the 13m couples who marry each year. Wedding planners are increasingly common, particularly in cities. A decade ago Cosmo Bride, an American-owned lifestyle magazine, launched a Chinese-language edition in China. An average wedding cost $12,000 in 2011 (the latest year for which such data exist)— the equivalent of  more than two years' income for the average urban  household . An increase in the average marriage age by 2.5 years since 1990 has given parents (who still usually pay for weddings, despite the earning power of their children) more time to save up.

equivalent等同物，等價(jià)物，the equivalent 就是12,000 dollars的同位語(yǔ)，Be the equivalent of 堪比，相當(dāng)于，等同于，無(wú)異于。

普通城市家庭，the average urban household，household與family的區(qū)別如下：

作名詞時(shí)，family常見的意義有“家庭”、“家屬”、“子女”、“家族”。要特別注意的是，如果有人說(shuō)I have a family. 不是說(shuō)“我結(jié)婚了”，亦不是“我成家了”，而是“我有孩子了”。比如：She has the sole responsibility for a large family. 她要獨(dú)自承擔(dān)撫養(yǎng)一大群子女的責(zé)任。

而family 作形容詞時(shí)，意思為“老少咸宜的”（designed to be suitable for children as well as adults），比如：a family newspaper全家人/成年人和未成年人都能看的報(bào)紙。

Household意思為 a house and its occupants regarded as a unit。盡管很多時(shí)候household也翻譯成“家庭”、“一家人”，但是要注意這里它和family的區(qū)別在于：

household包含的是住在一起的人，可以是親屬，也可以不是親屬，比如傭人、管家或者其他成員，有點(diǎn)類似我們國(guó)家說(shuō)的“戶口”、“戶”的含義，比如我國(guó)人口普查報(bào)告中有一個(gè)概念“家庭戶”，官方提供的譯文是 family household。而在這一層面上，family只是指有血緣關(guān)系的家庭。

最后一句，save up 和save同義，儲(chǔ)蓄，save up for sth.為了……而存錢。

The change in wedding  frippery  also reflects a fundamental shift in society. For the first time in the history of Chinese family life, the child—rather than ancestors or parents—is regarded as the centre of the family, says Yan Yunxiang of the University of California, Los Angeles. Most  newly-weds  now are single children, born since the one-child policy was introduced more than 30 years ago. Parents have more to spend if they only have to  fork out for  one wedding (they usually share costs with the spouse-to-be's family).

第一句frippery [ˈfrɪpəri]，多余無(wú)用的東西，花哨的裝飾品，也可以指艷俗的服裝或裝飾物。

For the first time in the history/in one’s life...放在句首，強(qiáng)調(diào)the first time，比如For the first time in years the U.S airline industry is in terrific shape.

newly-weds，s要跟著，新婚夫婦，〔一對(duì)〕新人

最后一句fork out (for sth)，fork out sth (for/on sth) 大量花錢，大把掏錢，而且通常是不情愿的?？梢院蜕弦欢蔚膕ave up合在一起記憶。比如：forked out a small fortune on education在教育上花了不少錢。

同樣表示花了不少錢的表達(dá)還有:

Shell out: 付 (一大筆錢)，比如：You won't have to shell out a fortune for it. 你將不必為它花一大筆錢。

Pour into: 大量投入〔金錢〕于〔某事物〕，比如They’ve poured thousands of pounds into developing the business. 他們已經(jīng)投入幾千英鎊開發(fā)這項(xiàng)業(yè)務(wù)。

Splurge: 亂花錢，揮霍，splurge (sth) on sth，比如Within a couple of months, I’d splurged about £2,500 on clothes.就在幾個(gè)月時(shí)間里，我買衣服花掉了 2,500 英鎊。

Splash out on sth.:大肆揮霍(金錢)

William Jankowiak of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, who has  documented relationships in China for 30 years, says love plays a larger part in young people's lives—both in choice of partner and in their relationships with parents. Love is far more often spoken about. The result is evident in weddings, which now focus on the couple. Both sets of parents are represented, but their position is  peripheral. Weddings often  feature  a day of wedding photos, shot before the event, with the couple in a range of outfits  against romantic backgrounds , but with no family members.

第一句的document是及物動(dòng)詞，記錄，記載，比如The effects of smoking have been well documented.有關(guān)吸煙的影響記錄翔實(shí)。

Both sets of parents are represented, but their position is peripheral.雙方父母，both sets of parents。雙方父母都會(huì)出席，但只是peripheral次要的；附帶，比如peripheral and boring information.無(wú)關(guān)緊要的無(wú)聊信息。父母只是婚禮上的陪襯。

feature 以…為特色，是…的特征，翻譯的時(shí)候可以說(shuō)，具有……的特點(diǎn)，……的特點(diǎn)是……，或者簡(jiǎn)單地翻譯成通常……，比如文中這句話：Weddings often feature a day of wedding photos, shot before the event婚禮現(xiàn)場(chǎng)當(dāng)天通常飾以在此前拍攝的婚紗照。

Weddings often feature a day of wedding photos, shot before the event, with the couple in a range of outfits against romantic backgrounds, but with no family members. 婚禮現(xiàn)場(chǎng)當(dāng)天通常飾以在此前拍攝的婚紗照，在浪漫的背景下，夫妻穿上一系列服裝拍攝婚紗照，但沒(méi)有家庭成員參與其中。

這句話也可以直接記下來(lái)，用于描述中國(guó)式的婚禮，口語(yǔ)寫作兩相宜

against the background, against a background of sth以…為背景。

如何發(fā)音

英語(yǔ)是拼音文字，所有的詞匯都是由26個(gè)字母拼出來(lái)的，而在成千上萬(wàn)的不同拼法中，基本發(fā)音因素卻只有39-47個(gè)，這說(shuō)明26個(gè)字母與基本音素間是有著一定的關(guān)聯(lián)的。

但是，英語(yǔ)是屬于比較深?yuàn)W的拼音文字，也就是說(shuō)26個(gè)字母與基本音素之間沒(méi)有一對(duì)一的對(duì)應(yīng)關(guān)系，而是一對(duì)多和多對(duì)一的復(fù)雜關(guān)系，這對(duì)學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)詞匯的發(fā)音和拼寫無(wú)疑增加了難度。盡管如此，人們還是總結(jié)出了很多發(fā)音規(guī)律，這些規(guī)律對(duì)于絕大多數(shù)英文詞匯都是適用的，這就是自然拼音法。英文的26個(gè)字母，分為元音和輔音，其中元音只有5個(gè)，即a，e，i，o，u，其余字母均為輔音。對(duì)于大多數(shù)輔音來(lái)說(shuō)，它們的發(fā)音是一對(duì)一的，而有少數(shù)幾個(gè)輔音字母，每個(gè)字母有兩個(gè)或以上的發(fā)音。

1

字母與發(fā)音一一對(duì)應(yīng)的輔音

b -- ball

d -- dog

f -- fish

h -- hat

j -- jump

k -- kite

l -- leg

m -- man

n -- not

p -- pen

q – quick

r -- run

s -- sun

t -- ten

v -- vest

w -- water

z -- zoo

（注意q與u總是連在一起的）

有多個(gè)發(fā)音的輔音：

字母 發(fā)音 例詞

c字母c后面接a，o，u的時(shí)候，c的發(fā)音與字母k發(fā)音相同，叫做“hard c sound”cat, cap, call, coat, cup

當(dāng)字母c后面接e，i，或y的時(shí)候，通常c的發(fā)音與字母s發(fā)音相同，叫做“soft c sound”city, ice, rice, face, cell, cent,voice, pencil, juice

有時(shí)在e或i前面，c會(huì)發(fā)/sh/音ocean, racial, social

g字母g后面接a，o，u的時(shí)候，所發(fā)的音叫做“hard g sound” girl, gas, get,give, go

當(dāng)字母g后面接e，i，或y的時(shí)候，有時(shí)g的發(fā)音與字母j的發(fā)音相同，叫做“軟g音”age,change, ginger, Egypt, gentle, giraffe, badge

特例：forget, give, girl中的g發(fā)hard sound

xx在單詞中間或結(jié)尾時(shí)發(fā)/ks/音box, next, mix, six,fox

x在單詞中間時(shí)有時(shí)發(fā)/gz/音exit, exam, exact

x在單詞起始位置時(shí)發(fā)/z/音xylophone, xerox

yy在單詞起始位置時(shí)發(fā)音為輔音yes, you, yard, year, yell

y在單詞或音節(jié)中間或結(jié)尾時(shí)被當(dāng)做元音

y在結(jié)尾，單詞只有一個(gè)音節(jié)時(shí)y發(fā)長(zhǎng)/i/音，

y在結(jié)尾，單詞有兩個(gè)或以上音節(jié)時(shí)y發(fā)長(zhǎng)/e/音

y在單詞或音節(jié)中間時(shí)，發(fā)短/i/音小測(cè)試：my, cry, fly, sky

輔音字母組合

輔音字母組合的發(fā)音很簡(jiǎn)單，就是把每個(gè)輔音字母的發(fā)音連在一起就可以了。之所以要把它們單獨(dú)列出來(lái)，一個(gè)重要的原因就是，每個(gè)輔音字母組合是作為一個(gè)整體來(lái)看待的，在劃分音節(jié)的時(shí)候是不能把這些輔音字母組合分開的。音節(jié)的劃分對(duì)于一個(gè)單詞的讀音至關(guān)重要，我們所學(xué)的自然拼音法發(fā)音規(guī)律，其實(shí)都是針對(duì)單個(gè)音節(jié)的，對(duì)于多音節(jié)的單詞來(lái)說(shuō)，要先把單詞劃分為一個(gè)一個(gè)的音節(jié)，然后再對(duì)每個(gè)音節(jié)應(yīng)用自然拼音法發(fā)音規(guī)律。音節(jié)的劃分規(guī)律在后面我們會(huì)講述，目前只需要熟記這些字母組合，以備后用。

字母組合 例詞：

帶有l(wèi)的字母組合bl black,blame, bless, blue, blast

cl --clock,class, clap, clue, close

fl --flag,fly, flat, flash, flower

gl --glass,glad, glide, glue, globe

復(fù)合字母構(gòu)成的單音

簡(jiǎn)單的說(shuō)，consonant digraph就是兩個(gè)（或三個(gè)）輔音字母在一起只發(fā)一個(gè)音，通常指以下四種組合：ch（tch），sh，wh和th。

ch和sh的發(fā)音有點(diǎn)類似中文“吃”和“濕”發(fā)音的前半部分，比如下列例詞：chair，check，shoe，shop。

wh的發(fā)音可能會(huì)比較令人混淆，不同的歷史時(shí)期，不同地方的人wh的發(fā)音會(huì)有一些不同。但現(xiàn)在在美式發(fā)音里，公認(rèn)的說(shuō)法是，一般來(lái)說(shuō)wh與/w/發(fā)音相同，但在o前面發(fā)/h/音，比如when，what，whale，who，whole。

th的發(fā)音則需要一些記憶力了，在下面這些常用詞里，th發(fā)濁音（舌尖在上下牙齒中間，聲帶需要振動(dòng)，聲音從牙齒和舌頭之間的縫隙里出來(lái)）：they, them-, their, theirs, the, this, that, these, those, then-,than, though, thus, there-（注意，如果一個(gè)單詞后面帶有小橫線，就是指以這個(gè)單詞開始的所有單詞，比如them-包括there，therefore，thereafter等）。其它以th開始的單詞基本上都發(fā)清音（舌尖在上下牙齒中間，聲音從牙齒和舌頭之間的縫隙里出來(lái)，但是聲帶不振動(dòng)），比如think，thank，thirty等。

不發(fā)音的輔音字母（Silent Consonants）

在有些輔音字母組合中，其中一個(gè)字母是不發(fā)音的，該組合所發(fā)的音與發(fā)音的那個(gè)輔音字母所發(fā)音相同。下面列出了這些組合：

字母組合 不發(fā)音字母 例詞

gh h ghost,ghetto, ghastly

gn g gnat,gnarl, gnaw, gnome, sign

kn k knife,knit, know, knock, knee

mb b comb, lamb,thumb, dumb, climb

pn p pneumonia

ps p psalm,psychic, psychology

rh h rhinoceros,rhyme, rhythm

sc c scissors,scent, scene, scenery, scenario

wr w wrong,wrist, wrap, wretch, wrench

gh gh light,high, eight, sigh, night

元音概述

我將對(duì)元音的發(fā)音作詳細(xì)講解。英語(yǔ)里元音的發(fā)音比較復(fù)雜，每個(gè)元音都可以發(fā)多個(gè)音，掌握了元音的發(fā)音規(guī)律才能對(duì)整個(gè)單詞的發(fā)音有比較準(zhǔn)確的掌握。想學(xué)習(xí)更多英語(yǔ)知識(shí)，請(qǐng)關(guān)注口袋英語(yǔ)aikoudaiyy

元音概述（The Basics About Vowels）

常說(shuō)的元音字母有五個(gè)：a，e，i，o，u，另外y在一個(gè)單詞的中間或結(jié)尾時(shí)也被當(dāng)做元音。

每個(gè)單詞里都包含有至少一個(gè)元音。

每個(gè)單詞的每個(gè)音節(jié)里都包含有至少一個(gè)元音。

元音是單詞的“最強(qiáng)音”。元音所發(fā)的音取決于該元音在單詞中的位置或它是如何與其它元音組合的。

一般來(lái)說(shuō)，除了以下幾種情況外，元音都發(fā)短音：

1. 該元音是元音字母組合的一部分

2. 該元音后面有字母r

3. 該元音在一個(gè)單詞或重讀音節(jié)的結(jié)尾

4. 單詞以字母e結(jié)尾

5. 該元音是元音規(guī)則的特例

6

短元音

短元音 例詞

A a-------------- ant, and, cat, fast, map

E e-------------- egg, net, let, bed, tent

I i---------------- inch, bit, stick, pin, pig

O o-------------- ox, hot, top, not, got

U u-------------- up, bus, sum, cup, mud

Y y（在單詞中部，發(fā)短i音）------------pyramid, lynx, typical, bicycle, symbol

7

長(zhǎng)元音

如果一個(gè)單詞以字母e結(jié)尾，前面的元音發(fā)長(zhǎng)音（magic e）。

如果一個(gè)元音是在一個(gè)單詞或重讀音節(jié)的結(jié)尾，該元音也發(fā)長(zhǎng)音，

所謂長(zhǎng)音就是該元音字母的名字，如A的長(zhǎng)音發(fā)音為/ei/。

當(dāng)一個(gè)單詞或音節(jié)里只有一個(gè)元音時(shí)，該元音發(fā)短音，

而當(dāng)這個(gè)單詞或音節(jié)后面加上字母e，剛才的元音就發(fā)長(zhǎng)音了，而字母e只起到讓前面的元音發(fā)長(zhǎng)音的作用，自己是不發(fā)音的。

例如：can，其中的a發(fā)短音，如果結(jié)尾加上e，變?yōu)閏ane，元音a就發(fā)長(zhǎng)音了，而e不發(fā)音，我們管字母e叫做magic e。下面的例詞都是屬于這類的：

game, safe, make, gate, whale

Pete, complete, athlete

nine, side, mile, kite, nice

note, rose, globe, those, bone

cube, rule, June, mute, dune（注意元音u的長(zhǎng)音聽上去有兩種，一種就是字母u的名字，另一種則類似漢語(yǔ)拼音u的發(fā)音，因?yàn)橛行┹o音與u在一起發(fā)不出字母u的音，就以漢語(yǔ)拼音u的音來(lái)代替，比如rule。）

當(dāng)元音在單詞或重讀音節(jié)結(jié)尾時(shí)，該元音發(fā)長(zhǎng)音，例如：paper, be, she, legal, fiber,piano, open, future, human等等

注意Y在單詞的結(jié)尾時(shí)被當(dāng)作元音來(lái)使用，

當(dāng)單詞只有一個(gè)音節(jié)時(shí)，Y與元音I的長(zhǎng)音發(fā)音相同，例如：cry, try, by, my。

當(dāng)單詞有兩個(gè)或以上音節(jié)時(shí)，Y在單詞結(jié)尾與元音E的長(zhǎng)音發(fā)音相同，例如：puppy, baby,candy, city, sorry等。

上節(jié)講到，當(dāng)一個(gè)單詞或音節(jié)里只有一個(gè)元音時(shí)，該元音發(fā)短音，而當(dāng)這個(gè)單詞或音節(jié)后面加上字母e，剛才的元音就發(fā)長(zhǎng)音了，而字母e只起到讓前面的元音發(fā)長(zhǎng)音的作用，自己是不發(fā)音的。這個(gè)規(guī)律可以擴(kuò)展到復(fù)合元音字母的情況，當(dāng)一個(gè)單詞或音節(jié)里有兩個(gè)元音時(shí)，通常第一個(gè)元音發(fā)長(zhǎng)音，第二個(gè)元音不發(fā)音。例如：

ai, ay發(fā)長(zhǎng)A音，如sail, fail, day, say等。

ea, ee, 發(fā)長(zhǎng)E音，如 meal, tea, need,feed等。

ie 發(fā)長(zhǎng)I音，如 tie, lie, pie等。

oa, oe 發(fā)長(zhǎng)O音，如 load, coat, toe等。

ue, ui 發(fā)長(zhǎng)U音，如glue, suit, blue,fruit等。但是，有一些不規(guī)則情況使得phonics的規(guī)則變得復(fù)雜起來(lái)，這也正是學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)單詞有挑戰(zhàn)性的地方。在一些特殊情況下，單詞里只有一個(gè)元音的時(shí)候，該元音是發(fā)長(zhǎng)音的，如：

i后面接gh, gn, ld, 或nd時(shí)，i發(fā)長(zhǎng)音，如sign, high, child, kind等。

o后面接ld, st時(shí)，o有時(shí)發(fā)長(zhǎng)音，如cold, gold, most,host等，但接st時(shí)有時(shí)還是發(fā)短音的，如lost, cost.

有些復(fù)合元音字母也不遵循上述長(zhǎng)音規(guī)律，見下表：

字母組合 所發(fā)音 例詞

ea短e head, bread, heavy, dead, ready

ei 長(zhǎng)a eight, veil, neigh, weight, freight

oo 長(zhǎng)u（類似漢語(yǔ)拼音的u） moon, zoo, school, pool, tool

oo 短u（類似漢語(yǔ)拼音的u） book, look, wood, foot, cookie

eu 長(zhǎng)u euro, feud, eulogy, sleuth, pneumonia

ew 長(zhǎng)u chew, new, few, stew, blew

ie 長(zhǎng)e yield, chief, relief, believe, puppies

ey 長(zhǎng)e monkey, money, honey, hockey, volley

學(xué)習(xí)phonics，除了要熟記各種規(guī)則外，還應(yīng)多讀，多練，才能把各種不規(guī)則發(fā)音牢記在心，靈活運(yùn)用。

8

雙元音

雙元音Diphthong與上節(jié)所述的復(fù)合元音字母構(gòu)成的單音（digraph）的區(qū)別在于，diphthong是兩個(gè)元音在一起所發(fā)的音是兩個(gè)元音音素組合在一起的，所以聽上去有兩個(gè)音，盡管這兩個(gè)音并不是兩個(gè)元音所單獨(dú)發(fā)出的，而digraph是兩個(gè)元音在一起，但是只發(fā)一個(gè)單音。把什么元音組合劃歸為雙元音有著不同的說(shuō)法，一般來(lái)說(shuō)下面兩種發(fā)音肯定是雙元音：

1、 oi, oy組合，把O 和I 的短音組合在一起連貫發(fā)出來(lái)，比如coin, voice, toy, boy等。

2、 ou, ow組合，發(fā)音時(shí)先發(fā)類似漢語(yǔ)拼音ao的音，然后末尾再加上短促的類似漢語(yǔ)拼音u的音，例如house, found, owl, now等。帶有r的元音（R-controlled Vowels）

元音字母與r結(jié)合起來(lái)，會(huì)發(fā)全新的音，見下表：

組合 所發(fā)音 例詞

ar字母r的名字 car, marble, far, large, party

or/or/ fork, or, for, core, more, pork

/er/ worm, word, world, doctor, neighbor

er, ir, ur /er/nurse, girl, ever, sir, purple

特殊元音（Special Vowel Sounds）

字母或組合 所發(fā)音 例詞

awpaw, law, raw, saw, dawn

allball, call, fall, mall, tall

auhaul, taught, caught, sauce

oucough, bought, brought, thought

o（后面接ng的時(shí)候）song, long,strong, wrong

“broadsound”,比短o音嘴型要小，發(fā)音時(shí)間長(zhǎng)

a, e, i, o, u非重讀音（schwa sound），當(dāng)一個(gè)元音在非重讀音節(jié)里時(shí)，有時(shí)會(huì)發(fā)此類音，非常類似漢語(yǔ)拼音里的e，但發(fā)音很輕。about, elephant, banana, machine, confuse

ce, ci, si, ti在同一個(gè)音節(jié)里這些字母組合后面接另外一個(gè)元音時(shí)，發(fā)/sh/音ocean, special, mission, nation, delicious, magician

io后面接字母n時(shí)，i發(fā)y音onion, billion, opinion, stallion
