英语字母组合的发音规律
英语字母组合的发音规律
导语:英语字母与字母之间组合在一起的发音不是简单的连读,下面我分享英语字母组合的发音规律,欢迎参考!
1.开音节
1)以发音的元音字母结尾的单节。 例:be,he。
2)以辅音字母(r 除外)+不发音的e结尾的音节。 例:make,like。
* 在重读的开音节中元音字母按字母名称读音。
2.闭音节
以一个或几个辅音字母(r 除外)结尾而中间只有一个元音字母的音节,
称为闭音节。例:map,desk,is。
*在重读的闭音节中元音字母读做短元音。
字母a,e,i,o,u 在重读音节中的读法
字母 名称 位置 读音 举例
a /ei/
开音节/ei/ name,take
闭音节/æ / map,bag
e/i:/
开音节/i:/ be,he
闭音节/e/ egg,best
i/ai/
开音节/ai/ like,kite
闭音节/i/ bit,fit
o/ou/
开音节/Eu/ note,no
闭音节// dog,lot
u/ju:/
开音节/ju:/ mute,use
闭音节// bus,cut
一、元音字母在重读音节中的读音
元音字母 读 音 例 词
a 在开音节中 [ei] name plane Jane baby cake
在闭音节中 [æ] bag dad hat map black back
e 在开音节中 [i:] he these me Chinese
在闭音节中 [e] bed let pen desk yes egg
i 在开音节中 [ai] bike fly drive time nice kite
在闭音节中 fish big drink sit milk swim
o 在开音节中 [Eu] those close go hoe home no
在闭音节中 [E] clock not box shop sock
u 在开音节中 [ju:] student excuse duty Tuesday,但u在辅音字母j l r s后面时读[u:]音,例如:June blue ruler super。但u在闭音节中 [∧] bus cup jump much lunch
二、元音字母在重读音节中的特殊读音
元音字母读音例词
a在[w]音后面 [C] want what watch wash quality
a在f n sk ph sp ss st th前 [α:] after plant graph ask grasp glass fast father
i在-nd -ld和gh前 [ai] find child light high
o在-st -ld前 [ou] most postcard old cold
o在m n v th前 [∧] come monkey love mother
三、元音字母在非重读音节中的读音
元音字母读音例词

[i ] chicken pocket begin children
i [E]/[i] holiday beautiful family animal
[ai] exercise satellite

u [E] autumn difficult
[ju(:)] popular congratulation January
动词中的a如果处在开音节位置,a读[ei]音,例如:operate
u处在开音节位置,又在辅音字母j l r s后面时,读[u(:) ]音,例如:July influence February issue
在非重读音节中,许多单词中的'元音字母a e i 即可以读作[E]音,也可以读作音。
四、-r音节元音字母组合
1、在重读音节中的读音元音字母组合读音例词
⑴、ar 一般发音
[α:] car farm dark sharpener
在[w]音后面 [c:] warm quarter towards
⑵、or 一般发音
[c:] forty morning short
在[w]音后面[E:] word worker worse
⑶、er ir ur
[E:] certainly bird Thursday
⑷、辅音字母r双写时,前面的元音字母不能与r构成-r音节,而是按重读闭音节的拼读规则发音。例如: carry sorry hurry
2、在非重读音节中通常读[E]音,例如:dollar teacher martyr forget Saturday
五、-re音节元音字母组合
1、在重读音节中的读音
are [εE] care dare hare
ere [iE] here mere
ire [aiE] fire hire wire
ore [c:] more score before
ure [juE] pure cure
2、在非重读音节中are ere ire ore很少出现,ure在非重读音节中读[E]音。
例如:picture pleasure
3、重读元音字母+r+非重读元音字母组时,重读元音字母应按a(e,i,o,u)re音节拼读规则拼读,字母r读[r]音。例如:parent zero story during inspiring
4、某些常用词及多音节词经常出现长音短化现象。例如:orange very American paragraph

八、元音字母组合在复合词非重读音节中的读音
复合词中的第二部分不标注重音符号,但其中的元音字母或元音字母组合仍按重读音节拼读规则拼读。例如: everyday[ei] handbag[æ] blackboard[C:]
有些词随着语言的发展,前后两部分已失去其单独存在的意义,融合成为一个词。其中的非重读部分要按非重读音节的读音规则发音。
例如: sun太阳 + day[ei]日子 > Sunday 星期天 holy神圣 + day[ei]日子 > holiday 假日 break中断 + fast[α:]斋戒 > breakfast[E] 早餐 cup茶杯 + board木板[C:] > cupboard[E] 碗柜
