# 3.1.3. `e`/`æ`
|
||
|
||
有些词典，针对美式发音，常常会用 `ɛ` 标注 `e` 这个音。
|
||
|
||
Some dictionaries often use `ɛ` to annotate the American English sound of `e`.
|
||
|
||
`æ` 相当于是 `e` 的更长版本。虽然 `æ` 后面没有长元音符号 `ː`，但它其实应该算作**长元音**。
|
||
|
||
`æ` can be deemed as a more extended version of `e`. Even though there's no long vowel symbol `ː` following `æ`, it should be considered a **long vowel**.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
亚洲人在读这个音的时候，经过提醒，都能做到把嘴巴张得相对更大一点，但都会不由自主地将它读成更短的版本。
|
||
|
||
When Asians try to pronounce this sound, once reminded, they can usually open their mouths a bit wider, but they often unconsciously make the sound shorter than it should be.
|
||
|
||
`æ` 的发音有两个要点:
|
||
|
||
> 1. 音拉长一点
|
||
> 2. 嘴张大一点
|
||
|
||
There are two key points to pronouncing `æ`:
|
||
|
||
> 1. Stretch the sound a little longer
|
||
> 2. Open your mouth wider
|
||
|
||
其中，第一个要点相对更为重要。你可以多试试这两个词，*apple* `/ˈæpəl/`，*banana* `/bəˈnænə/`，并刻意把其中的 `æ` 拉得更长一点。
|
||
|
||
The first point is relatively more important. Try saying these two words: *apple* `/ˈæpəl/` and *banana* `/bəˈnænə/`, and try intentionally stretching the `æ` a little longer.
