第三节:最疯狂、最典型的美国发音
——奉献后元音[ α ]
【英美音的区别】
美音[α]和英音[α:]所使用的音标不同,但发音基本相同。
注意元音字母 “o” 在重读闭音节中美音和英音的不同发音,例如box, fox, cop, 又比如got, lot, common, possible等,美音把上述音节中的字母 “o” 念作[α],英音则念作[ ],这是英美发音重大差别的又一例。不过,在有些词中如boss, lost, dog, wash中元音字母 “o” 的美音读法也存在既可念[α]也可念[ ]的情况。例如dog一词读成[d α g]或[dg ]都可以。这类词为数不多,发音有困难时最好查一下词典。
