2.1.8. ɑː/ɔː

这一对元音在发声的时候,嘴唇动作非常明显,要在嘴唇形成一个小的圆形之后才开始发音。

When pronouncing this pair of vowels, the lip movement is very noticeable. It's important to form a small circle with lips before beginning to vocalize.

与英音的 ɒ 相比,美音的 ɑː 会嘴巴张得更大一点,读得更长一点,听起来更像 ɑ。比如,dog, 英音是 /dɒg/, 美音却是 /dɑːg/;而 God, 英音是 /gɒd/,美音同样相对更长一点,/gɑːd/

Compared to British English, the American pronunciation of ɒ is slightly longer and sounds more like ɑ. For instance, for the word dog, in British English, it's pronounced as /dɒg/, while in American English, it's pronounced as /dɑːg/. Similarly, for God, it's /gɒd/ in British English, but in American English it's elongated to /gɑːd/.

另外,在重读音节里,ɔː 可能会被美国人儿化,读成 ɔː ,更像是双元音 ɔər。比如,more /mɔːr/

Additionally, in stressed syllables, ɔː might be rhotacized by Americans to sound like ɔr, resembling the diphthong ɔər, for example, more /mɔːr/.
