Let's get started with the lesson.
让我们开始这节课吧。
In my modern received pronunciation accent, the letter R is only pronounced when it comes before a vowel sound.
在我的现代英语发音中,字母“R”只有在位于元音音素之前时才会被发音。
So when you see an R before a consonant sound, or at the end of a word with no sounds after it,
因此,当你看到一个字母“R”出现在辅音音素之前,或者出现在一个单词的末尾且该单词后面没有其他音素时……
simply don't try to pronounce it.
干脆别试着去读它的发音吧。
Here are some examples.
以下是一些例子。
Repeat after me.
跟我一起重复。
Earth,
地球,
warmth,
温暖;
garden.
花园。
There is no er sound in them.
这些单词中并不包含发音为“er”的音节。
Earth, warmth, garden.
地球、温暖、花园……
In these words, the letter R is followed by a consonant sound.
用这些话来说,字母“R”后面总是跟着一个辅音发音。
So it isn't pronounced.
因此,这个词并不需要被发音出来。
It's silent.
四周一片寂静。
In stressed syllables like this, we just pronounce the long vowel sounds er as in earth,
在像这样的重读音节中,我们只需发出长元音“er”的发音,就像在单词“earth”中的发音一样。
or as in warmth, and r as in garden.
或者像 “warmth” 中的 “r” 那样发音,再像 “garden” 中的 “r” 那样发音。
The letter R is completely silent.
字母“R”在发音时是完全不发音的(即没有声音)。
