All languages on Earth follow a similar pattern: in the flow of natural speech, consonants *never* stand alone. Isolated vowels, however, can form syllables and convey meaning. For instance, you have sounds like *ah* <span class="pho alt">ɑː</span>, *oh* <span class="pho alt">oʊ</span>, or *O'Oh* <span class="pho alt">ˈɑoʊ</span>. But consonants almost always need to be attached to vowels to form *syllables*, and alone, they don't carry meaning.
注意：有三个辅音，<span class="pho">l</span>, <span class="pho">m</span>, <span class="pho">n</span>，被称作 “音节辅音”，因为它们自带 <span class="pho">ə</span> 的音色。比如，*bottle* <span class="pho alt">ˈbɑːtl</span>, *bottom* <span class="pho alt">ˈbɑːtm</span>, button <span class="pho alt">ˈbʌtn</span>。有些词典会用 <span class="pho">ᵊ</span>，比如写成：
*bottle* <span class="pho alt">ˈbɑːtᵊl</span>, *bottom* <span class="pho alt">ˈbɑːtᵊm</span>, button <span class="pho alt">ˈbʌtᵊn</span>。剑桥词典的标注方式是：*bottle* <span class="pho alt">ˈbɑːt̬əl</span>, *bottom* <span class="pho alt">ˈbɑːt̬əm</span>, button <span class="pho alt">ˈbʌtən</span>……
*bottle* <span class="pho alt">ˈbɑːtᵊl</span>, *bottom* <span class="pho alt">ˈbɑːtᵊm</span>, button <span class="pho alt">ˈbʌtᵊn</span>。剑桥词典的标注方式是：*bottle* <span class="pho alt">ˈbɑːt̬əl</span>, *bottom* <span class="pho alt">ˈbɑːt̬əm</span>, *button* <span class="pho alt">ˈbʌtən</span>……
Please note, in English, there are three consonants — <span class="pho">l</span>, <span class="pho">m</span>, and <span class="pho">n</span> — that can act as "syllabic consonants." This means they carry a vocalic quality similar to the schwa sound <span class="pho">ə</span>. For instance, in words like *bottle* <span class="pho alt">ˈbɑːtl</span>, *bottom* <span class="pho alt">ˈbɑːtm</span>, and *button* <span class="pho alt">ˈbʌtn</span>, you can hear this quality. Some dictionaries use the symbol <span class="pho">ᵊ</span> to indicate this sound, rendering the words as follows: *bottle* <span class="pho alt">ˈbɑːtᵊl</span>, *bottom* <span class="pho alt">ˈbɑːtᵊm</span>, *button* <span class="pho alt">ˈbʌtᵊn</span>. The Cambridge Dictionary, however, uses a slightly different notation: *bottle* <span class="pho alt">ˈbɑːt̬əl</span>, *bottom* <span class="pho alt">ˈbɑːt̬əm</span>, *button* <span class="pho alt">ˈbʌtən</span>.
