语音
BBC音标×课文词汇发音练习
以下词汇均出自Unit 2听力原文

1. /ə/ schwa(中性元音)BBC第3集

发音要点:英语最常见的音。发音时嘴巴完全放松,像叹气。
available /əˈveɪləbl/ ← When will you be available?
convenient /kənˈviːniənt/ ← If it's convenient for you, could we change…
arrange /əˈreɪndʒ/ ← Do you think you can arrange for that next Wednesday?
appointment /əˈpɔɪntmənt/ ← I'd like to make an appointment…
assembly /əˈsembli/ ← we'll look at the assembly line
练习:读这5个词,感受/ə/——嘴巴不用力,声音从喉咙自然出来。

2. /ɔɪ/ 双元音 BBC第9集

发音要点:从/ɔ/滑向/ɪ/,嘴唇从圆到扁。
appointment /əˈpɔɪntmənt/ ← I need to reschedule an appointment.
练习:先发/ɔ/(圆唇),再滑到/ɪ/(扁唇)。读appointment时重点练中间的/ɔɪ/。

3. /æ/ 大开口前元音 BBC第5集

发音要点:嘴巴张大,舌头平放。中国学生容易发成/e/,要刻意张大。
catalog /ˈkætəlɒɡ/ ← I'd like to show you our latest catalog.
calendar /ˈkælɪndə/ ← Try a day planner or digital calendar.
plan /plæn/ ← plan your days the night before
练习:对比:catalog vs celery。/æ/嘴巴大,/e/嘴巴小。读catalog时刻意张大嘴。

4. /ʃ/+/dʒ/ 辅音组合 BBC第28集/ʃ/,第34集/dʒ/

发音要点:/ʃ/嘴唇圆撮,气流摩擦。/dʒ/先堵后摩擦,声带振动。

session /ˈseʃn/ ← a question and answer session

client /ˈklaɪənt/ ← I'm having lunch with a client.
Friday /ˈfraɪdeɪ/ ← How about 1:00 on Friday?
练习:先发/ɑ/(大开口),再滑到/ɪ/(扁唇)。读time和design时感受/aɪ/的滑动。

6. /ɜː/ 长元音 BBC第3集

发音要点:嘴巴居中放松,声带振动,拉长。
urgent /ˈɜːdʒənt/ ← Something urgent has just come up.
Thursday /ˈθɜːzdeɪ/ ← could we change our appointment to 12:00 on Thursday?
first /fɜːst/ ← first thing in the morning
练习:urgent开头的/ɜː/要拉长。嘴巴不圆不扁,自然放松,声音拉长2拍。
