Welcomed With Open Arms in MumbaiBy MAY JEONG
THE weekend I turned 24, I fell in love with a man I would write home about.
I was traveling through India, the kind of trip you take in your early 20s
when you are full of questions and have no answers. I was sure that love was
a social construct and that the future would remain a question mark. I had
convinced myself that if only I could drift along the backwaters of Kerala,

前一阵好像看人讨论过，说许多中国人v,w不分，好像原因之一是普通话里
没有v这个音，而有些方言里就有。我想了一下，好像粤语里头也没有吧？
感觉f是清辅音，比如“发”，但是没有相对应的浊辅音。
以前一个广东藉的ABC tutor还让我专门练过，可我如果不是特别留意的时候，
wary和very好像还是不太区别出来；而v在词尾的话，我感觉就有点吃力，总
觉得发了这个音以后整个语句就不太连贯了。
不知道大家有没有这种感觉，如果有什么经验的话万望指教一下，谢谢先：） |

标 题: 国人英语发音的几个问题 (待续)
发信站: BBS 未名空间站 (Thu Feb 16 02:46:35 2012, 美东)
这篇文章讨论国人英语发音的一些问题. "问题"的定义是与标准美国英语的明显差别.
本文对于发音是否需要力求与标准美音同一这个问题不作评价. 另外本文主要针对
syllabic的问题, 不讨论语调等非syllabic的问题. 本文不求使用严格的语言学词汇,
也避免使用音标.
国人的英语发音问题主要源于英语语音中那些汉语各方言所没有的"音", 包括辅音, 元
音, 及特别的音的连接方式. 国人在发这些音时, 或无法掌握正确的发音方式, 或借用
母语中相近但不相同的音 (甚而有些人无法区分英语与中文中一些音的发音差异), 都
导致发音与标准英语有区别. 汉语方言间语音差异也很大, 所以其实以不同方言为母语
的国人会表现出不同的发音问题. 据我个人体验, 江浙人的发音问题最小, 而东北人的
发音问题最大 (香港英语因为各种特殊原因, ... 阅读全帖 |

You've heard my horror story of the first school I worked for (and that was

foreigners - but with some guy who didn't like foreigners with a cellphone

September probably offered little relief in the nation's vexing unemployment

Economists expect Friday's jobs numbers to be a wash-private payrolls likely

its payrolls.
