+## 3.2.5.2. 舌尖起始位置
 
-中文里当然也有 <span class="pho">s</span> 这个音，但，中文里的 <span class="pho">s</span> 在发音时舌尖起始位置更接近下排牙齿，即，比位置 ② 更低一些 —— 虽然听不出什么区别。你可以再试着用中文普通话说一遍 “我踢死你！”（<span class="pho">wǒ tī sǐ nǐ</span>）<span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-other="/audios/我踢死你-zh-cn-male.mp3"></span>…… 不过，作为中国人你需要新练一个 <span class="pho">s</span>，否则，说英文时经常遇到更费力的情况，比如，在说 <span class="pho">st</span> 这个组合的时候 —— 这恰好也是英文中使用频率相当高的一个组合。
+<span class="pho">s/z</span> 发声时舌尖起始位置贴近但没有接触到牙齿和牙龈的接缝处 —— 即，位置 ②。
 
-Of course, the sound <span class="pho">s</span> exists in Chinese as well, but when you pronounce it, the tip of your tongue starts closer to the lower teeth—slightly lower than position ②, even though you can't really hear the difference. Again, you can try this out by saying "wǒ tī sǐ nǐ" (我踢死你！)<span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-other="/audios/我踢死你-zh-cn-male.mp3"></span> in Mandarin.However, for Chinese speakers, it's necessary to practice a new <span class="pho">s</span> sound to make speaking English less strenuous, especially when saying combinations like <span class="pho">st</span> — which happens to be a very common combination in English.

+
+ 虽然两个略微不同的舌尖起始位置在单个音素中听不出什么区别。但，如果作为中国人不练出一个舌尖起始位置为 ② 的 <span class="pho">s</span><span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/us_phonetics_sound_say_2023feb.mp3"></span>，那么说英文就相当吃力…… 比如，在说 <span class="pho">st</span> 这个组合的时候 —— 而 <span class="pho">st</span> 这恰好也是英文中使用频率特别高的一个组合。

+## 3.2.5.3. <span class="pho">s</span> 之后的浊化
 
 另外，需要注意的是，<span class="pho">s</span> 之后的 <span class="pho">p/t/tr/k</span> 作为音节开头时会被浊化（比如，音节末尾的 <span class="pho">st</span> 中的 <span class="pho">t</span> 不会被浊化），相应读成 <span class="pho">b/d/dr/g</span>（但是，音标标注却保持原样）：
 
-Also, it's important to note that, following an <span class="pho">s</span> that starts a syllable, <span class="pho">p/t/tr/k</span> are voiced, meaning they are pronounced like <span class="pho">b/d/dr/g</span> respectively, while the phonetic annotations remain unchanged. However, this rule doesn't apply when these consonants are at the end of a syllable, like the <span class="pho">t</span> in <span class="pho">st</span>:

-另外，英文的辅音并没有长短区分 —— 有些语言的辅音是有长短区分的，虽然亚洲语言基本都没有这种差别。然而，英文的 <span class="pho">f/v</span>、<span class="pho">s/z</span>、<span class="pho">ʃ</span> 以及 <span class="pho">ts</span> 是可以拉长的，尤其是 <span class="pho">s</span> 和 <span class="pho">ts</span>。
+## 3.2.5.4. 长辅音
 
-In addition, in English, there's no differentiation between long and short consonant sounds. This is a feature found in some languages but is generally not present in Asian languages. However, in English, the sounds of <span class="pho">f/v</span>, <span class="pho">s/z</span>, <span class="pho">ʃ</span>, and <span class="pho">ts</span> can be lengthened, especially <span class="pho">s</span> and <span class="pho">ts</span>.
