# 3.2. 辅音Consonants
地球上的所有语言都一样,在自然语流中,**辅音**不会单独存在。单独的**元音**,可以构成**音节**,也可以构成或者表达意义。比如,*ah* `/ɑː/`, *oh* `/oʊ/`,或者 *O'Oh* `/ˈɑ·oʊ/`。但,**辅音**必须依附于**元音**才能构成**音节**,并且,单独的辅音也不能构成意义。
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* `/ɑː/`, *oh* `/oʊ/`, or *O'Oh* `/ˈɑ·oʊ/`. But consonants need to be attached to vowels to form *syllables*, and alone, they don't carry meaning.
