15个辅音发音规则

辅音发音错误的主要原因: 1.这些音在你的母语中可能并不存在; 2.即使存在于你的辅音,发音可能与英语也不相同

规则一:发准每一个音,不要走捷径(fully pronouncing each sound)

I need five dollars.
Pro ba bly
general
数字基本都是要发准辅音:seven, t w e l ve

规则二:清辅音和浊辅音(voiced and voiceless consonants)

类型 辅音
用声带振动的辅音 /z/ /v/ /t/
声带不振动的辅音 /s/ /f/ /d/

在有些语中,发生的音不出现在词末,只存在于词首和词中
five, Ed/ɛt/
发音的音前面的元音比较长(vowel is longer before voiced consonant)

在结尾发音的辅音,元音拉长,eyes/z/, bag
在结尾不发音的辅音,元音不用拉长,ic/s/e, back

对比如下

辅音不发声+元音不用拉长 辅音发声 + 元音拉长
safe save
pick pig
lock log
light lied
leaf leave
cup cub

规则三:”TH”的发音

/θ/的发音有点像/s/,是voiceless的,发音技巧是舌头碰触到上面
/ð/的发音有点像/z/,是voiced的,发音技巧是舌头与上齿不要太紧,让气流出来,例如bath
/θ/和/ð/的发音,舌头确保碰到牙齿,/s/和/z/舌头是不碰到牙齿的

常见的错误是将/θ/和/ð/发音为s,z,比如south; 另外也不要太用力,否则就发音为t和d

位置 示例
结尾 bath, both, math
句首 Thank you, Thursday
句中 father, mother

I’m thirsty. Is there anything to drink in this place?
I thought it was a Thursday at three thirty.
This is my fourth month studying math.
Both my mother and my father are healthy.
I think Matthew lives in the north.

总结:th发音与舌头的位置有关系,确保舌头与牙齿的接触是轻轻地。

规则四:”L”的发音

位于词尾部的时候,比较难,美式不发音,比如call,bill,不发/la/的音

发音技巧:释放舌头,让舌头触碰上齿的背面。然后让舌头停留在那。 所以,美国的”L”音延长了,发音更轻,更长(prolonged and softer)。

亚洲人尤其注意”L”没有放在词末,错误的发音为/cawh/,而不是/call/。 所以,错误的做法就是舌头放在了下面,词末没有使用舌头发音,要听到清晰的”L”音。
feed,school, 发音不要发/schooh/, 而是/schoool/,卷起舌头,位于上齿的后面。 然而,卷起舌头后,不要把舌头拉太远,否则发音像”R”,比如wall vs war。

feel,ill,awful,film,little,animal
I’ll call you to tell you about the film.
I feel terrible about the political scandal.
I think I’ll be able to handle it by myself.
You’ll do well at school.

总结:拉长L的音,舌头位于牙齿的后面

规则五:”R”的发音

英式发音,最后一个”r”一般不发音,但是美式中,永远发音。比如,four

发音技巧:舌头不能碰触上齿的顶部,舌头卷曲,向后面拉(curl tip and pull it back). /er/ four hear

位于词末和另一个辅音前,都不会是无声的

lear n, Ger man, Robert, Parker, first, person

Their computer isn’t working.
I gave her four other pictures.
Her fourth birthday is on Thursday.
There are many more over there.
We were the first to arrive at the park.

总结:要发响亮清晰的”er”音,把舌头卷起来,缩回去

规则六:”W”的发音

发音技巧:卷起嘴唇,要有大量的气流经过,确保你的声带振动。从你的肺部呼出气流,有点像吹气球。
wait,常见错误,使用下唇,和用下唇去触碰上齿,会改音。wine vs vine

常见单词:welcome,always

kw发音,q-u组合发音kw,例如:quick, question, require, quality, liquid, quick

What do you want to do this weekend?
I’m always required to work on Wednesday.
She will wear a white wedding dress on her wedding day.
I have a quick question about the quality of the watch.
There are always twelve women with the children.
We wish we were with our wives.

总结:双唇卷动,气流中出

规则七:”V”和”W”的发音

/v/ 下唇要碰触上齿,不要把下齿咬的太紧,只有几分空气的振动。

常见的错误:

  • 有些人没有使用下唇,have,vote,very
  • 发音较快,丢掉v,例如:involved,five months
  • v在中间时,比较难发音,例如:eleven,seven

He’s very involved in their lives.
I’ve been here from five too seven hours.
I will visit the village on my vocation.
Have you viewed the five videos?
We will review their votes in november.

很容易混淆v和w,例如vest和west。区别在于是否碰触和双卷

vow - wow
vet - wet
vine - wine
vest - west

twelve, vowels, five, women, very, weird, west, virginia
however you wish
I’ll have wine with the veal.

规则八:”S”和”Z”发音

has,末尾是s,但是发/zuh/音,再比如bags,发音/zuh/。
如何区分”s”和”z”:
看”s”前面的辅音字母是发声的还是不发声的。 如果前面辅音不发声,那s也不发声,例如books,即一个不发声的音跟着另一个不发声的音。

laugh/f/s => /laughs/,不发音的likes,cooks,doctors,mats
lives => /livez/,发音的feels,cares

问题:如果单词的最后一个字母不是辅音怎么办?例如,has 当存在元音时,读音是’z’,有例外,但是这是一个大规律,例如: is=>iz

was, because, these, those, please, always

s发音为z的例句:
He plays the drums on the weekends.
She has friends in many countries.
Does he always use those things.
It rains and snows in these areas.

规则九:停顿和连读音

辅音的分类除了从发声和不发声区分外,还从停顿或连续音来分类
停顿是一个辅音通过气流的流动来发音,例如job,b停顿;连续例如Yes->Yessss

区分停顿和连续的重要性:

  • 当发连续音时,很多人会搞错,把连续音当成停顿,把辅音分成了两半,直接把单词读出来。
    例如:sometimes,不要念的太快,太紧促,连续音要延长。再比如have
  • 当停顿的后面跟着另一个辅音时,不要释放,例如pop music -> /po music/.
    当我们释放双唇(停顿)时,听起来像添加啊了一个额外的音节进去,例如:job market, had this

    Job hunting
    top model
    good boy
    that day
    not bad

  • 末尾的t停顿

    No, it’s no(t)
    I’m not that hot.
    quiet right
    can, can’t, I can’t go/do it.

I want that blue hat.
Robert, you might be right.
It’s not that different.
What did you eat last night.
I can’t wait for that flight.

重点:保留最后的停顿,把舌头固定在上齿的后面,发t或d或和尚嘴唇,不要释放气流

规则十: 两个原因之间的”T”

city /cidy/, ability /abilidy/, better /bedder/, water /wader/, it is /id iz/
t听起来不发tah,而是duh

当T处于两个原因之间时,听起来更像D音。这种情况也出现在独立的单词之间,例如:Yes,it is.

water, aut(d)omat(d)ic, metal

I got up at eleven o’clock.
Do you want to get in or get out.
I bought it at a computer store.
What a nice day it is.

规则十一:T+N组合

当T的后面跟着N时,T是要发音的,把舌头保持在上齿的后面,不要发下来. 保持舌头在这个位置,然后直接发音,例如written /wriddn/. 使舌头向前直接发”en”的音。

要点:抬起舌头,保持住不要放松,让空气从鼻子经过,发出en的音

mountain, batten, curtain, catten

I am certain that’s the tallest mountain.
My cotton shirt has buttonss.
I have forgetten when the book was written.
Martin was born in Great Britain.

规则十二:”ING”发音

ing, going, doing, thinking
当你发ng音的时候,g在后面,舌头碰到口腔内侧,然而这个g音放得不算太开。 所以,当你发g音时,让这个音停留在那。

  • 不要发goingg
  • 不要不发g音,不正式

重点:把舌头抬起,放到内侧,并让它保持这个状态。如果你松开,也只能一点一点地松开。

thinking, working, practising, interesting

I am thinking about buying the ring.
Who are you bringing to the wedding.
I love swimming, running, and playing tennis.

记:不要释放舌头,发n音时不要让舌头回到前面。这是一个舌头在后面发出的音,”ng”

规则十三:”TR”和”DR”的发音

有时,当遇到2个辅音时,我们把两个辅音放到一起,发一个全新的音。

当’t’和’d’后面跟着辅音’r’时,组合成一个新的音。

  • try -> “ch”, tr = chr,但是发音语气更轻,例如travel, tradition, introduce, control
  • dry -> “jr”, dr = jr /dʒ/, 例如,drama, drop, drastic, address, hundred, sandra

Is it true that you took a trip to Detroit.
That was an interesting trick.
Children, don’t drop your drinks.
I hope my dream comes true.

规则十四:”TU”和”DU”的发音

  • 当t后面跟着u时,发”ch”音,例如: actually, statue, nature, picture
  • 当d后面跟着u时,发”jew”音,例如: graduate, graduation, educate, schedule, individual

t + you组合,发音chew:can’t you => /can’ tyou/, aren’t you
d + you组合,发音jew:did you => /di dyou/, would you

Would you like to see the schedule?
Aren’t you graduating in the spring?
Can’t you see the statue.
Did you get a college education?

规则十五:”Ed”结尾的发音

动词过去式的ed结尾发音:

  • waited -> ed
  • stopped -> t
  • robbed -> d

规则总结:

  • 如果动词的最后一个字母是t或者d时,需要添加额外的音节。单词的最后一个字母起作用。

    needED, paintED, waitED, completED, countED, invitED

  • 如果最后一个字母是清辅音(voiceless consonant),ed发音为t。例如,p就是清辅音。

    stopped, worked, parked, cooked, passed, laughed, pushed, watched

past和passed的发音,听起来是完全一样的

  • 如果最后一个字母是浊辅音(voiced consonant),ed发音为d。例如,b就是浊辅音。 robbed, loved, realized, used, called

I painted /ed/ the walls and fixed /d/ the gate.
I cooked /t/ a meal and washed /t/ the dishes.
I attended /ed/ a party and danced /t/ all night.
He called /d/ his friend and talked /t/ for an hour.
