# 2.2.5 f/vk/g 不一样,f/v 的发声重点是可以看到的:下嘴唇略微收回,上牙贴在下嘴唇上,而后开始发音。 Unlike k/g, the articulation of f/v is actually visible: the *lower lip* retracts slightly, and the *upper teeth* rest on the lower lip before beginning to sound. ![articulator-tongue-tip-fv](/images/articulator-tongue-tip-fv.svg) 韩语中没有这两个音,所以,他们会不由自主地用 p 替代 f,用 b 替代 v;所以,我们经常会听到韩国人把 *photo* 说成 ˈpoʊˌtoʊ,把 *video* 说成 ˈbɪdioʊ…… The Korean language lacks these two sounds, so Koreans will instinctively replace f with p and v with b. As a result, you often hear Koreans pronouncing *video* as ˈpoʊˌtoʊ and *video* as ˈbɪdioʊ... 中国南方有些方言里也没有 f,所以,他们可能会用 hw 替代 f,比如,把 *fight* 读成 hwaɪt;中文的普通话里没有 v,所以,中国人经常把用 w 替换 v,比如,把 *very* 读成 ˈwɛri…… Some dialects in southern China also lack the f sound, so speakers might substitute f with hw. For instance, they might pronounce fight as hwaɪt. Mandarin Chinese doesn't have a v sound, so Chinese speakers often replace v with w, like pronouncing very as ˈwɛri... 另外需要注意的是,与 p/bt/dk/g 不一样,f/v 在发声的时候**不带**任何轻微的元音音色。 Another thing to note is that, unlike p/b, t/d, and k/g, f/v are pronounced *without* any slight vowel qualities. ## 拼写(Spellings) ### f * **f** * fight faɪt * life laɪf * wife waɪf * **ph** * photo ˈfoʊ.t̬oʊ * coffee ˈkɑː.fi * elephant ˈel.ə.fənt ### v * **v** * live lɪv * vector ˈvek.tɚ * vine vaɪn * **vv** * chivvy ˈtʃɪv.i * divvy ˈdɪv.i
