 昵称49489703 2017-12-22

整理了辅音的发音规则(见博文《英语发音规则(整理版):辅音字母及其组合》),本文接着整理元音字母及其组合的发音规则,元音字母读音跟重/非重读关系很大,建议先阅读博文《英语中开/闭音节和重/非重读》。

1. 基本发音规则

1.1 元音字母在重读音节

通常情况下,元音字母在重读开音节发字母的音,即a(/eɪ/),e(/iː/),i(/aɪ/),o(/əʊ/),u(/ju:/).元音字母在重读开/闭音节读音如下[1]

vowel pronunciation
图1 元音字母在重读音节的发音

注:在开音节中,j/l/r/s u,u发/u:/,如Jane, blue, ruler, super.

1.2 元音字母在非重读音节

A a

/ə/, 如China, another, woman, breakfast.
/ɪ/,如orange, village, cabbage(/ˈkæbɪdʒ/).

E e

/ə/, 如hundred, student, open, weekend, children.
/ɪ/,如chicken, pocket, begin.

I i

/ə/, 如holiday, beautiful, family.
/aɪ/, 如exercise, satellite.

O o

/ə/, 如second, tonight, somebody(/’sʌmbədi/), welcome.
/əʊ/, 如also, zero, photo.

U u

/ə/, 如autumn(/’ɔːtəm/), difficult.
/jʊ/, 如popular, January.

可见,元音字母aeiou在非重读音节都有一读音/ə/。而名词、形容词、副词后缀通常不会是重读音节,后缀-ous,-ent,-ant中的元音字母皆读/ə/,详情见1.3。

1.3 -ant, -ent, -ous后缀[7]

-ous(/əs/),-ent(/ənt/),-ant(/ənt/)后缀中的元音字母皆读/ə/。后缀-ous,-ent,-ant,均可以直接加在动词或名词后面构成形容词,一般来说,动词加-ous,-ent,-ant后缀所构成的形容词表示主动意义。后缀-ant,-ent也表示名词后缀,表示人或构件,如applicant(申请人),assistant(助手),occupant(居住者,占有人),component(部件,成分),defendant(被告), dependant(依赖他人者).

(1)-ant

abundant(/ə’bʌndənt/), attendant, complaisant(/彬彬有礼的/), constant, distant, elegant, extravagant(/ɪk’strævəgənt/, 奢侈的), exuberant(/ɪg’z(j)uːb(ə)r(ə)nt/, 繁茂的), gallant(英勇的), ignorant(无知的), important, incessant(连续的), indignant(愤愤不平的), instant, pleasant, reluctant(不情愿的), repugnant(讨厌的), servant, significant, triumphant(/traɪ’ʌmfənt/, 成功的), vacant(空虚的), warrant.

(2)-ent

-ment名词后缀,表示行为,状态,过程,手段及其结果

treatment, movement, judgment, punishment, argument, abatement(/ə’beɪtm(ə)nt/, 减少), accomplishment, acknowledgment, advancement, agreement, amazement, amusement, retirement, sentiment, statement, treatment, development, , , apartment, argument, arrangement, astonishment, atonement, attachment, augment, commencement, compliment, confinement, contentment, entertainment, disagreement, disappointment, discernment, elopement, embarrassment, employment, encouragement, engagement, enjoyment. 还有以-ment结尾,但ment不属于名词后缀,如torment(/’tɔrmɛnt/, 折磨), lament(/lə’mɛnt/, 哀悼).

-ent后缀

abhorrent, accent, accident, apparent, benevolent, cogent, confident, consent, consequent(/’kɑnsəkwənt/), consistent, convenient, decent, deficient, dependent, descent, impatient, sufficient, talent, urgent, violent, evident, impertinent. 还有以-ent结尾,但ent不属于后缀,如bent(/bɛnt/, 弯曲的), event(/ɪ’vɛnt/), went(/wɛnt/).

(3)-ous后缀

见本文3.4节ou.

2. 两个相同的元音字母相邻

两个相同的元音字母,所我所知,不存在含有aa,ii,uu的词,所以只需了解ee和oo了。

2.1 ee,eer

ee,只发/iː/,并且在双音节中,重音均在ee的音节上,如tree, street, been, greedy, esteem, cheerful, screen, succeed.
eer,只发/ɪə,ɪr/,并且以-eer结尾的单词,重音在词尾,如beer, cheer, deer, peer, sneer, career, pioneer, volunteer.
