2.1.2. 舌位Tongue Positions

元音发声时舍身的位置很重要。以下展示的是每个元音发声时对应的舍身位置。我们靠移动下巴控制口型的大小,下巴张开得越大,舍身位置相对越低,同时舍身位置也越靠后。

The position of your tongue is crucial when pronouncing vowels. The following shows the corresponding tongue position for each vowel sound. We control the shape of our mouth by moving our jaw. The wider we open our jaw, the lower and further back the tongue position will be.

舍身的位置决定口腔内气流共振空间的大小,进而可以配合不同的唇形发出不同的元音。

The position of your tongue in your mouth determines the size of the resonance space for airflow, which, when paired with different mouth shapes, produces various vowel sounds.
