# 2.2.14. <span class="pho">l</span>, <span class="pho">r</span>
|
||
|
||
<span class="pho">l</span> 发声时起始的舌尖位置与 <span class="pho">t/d</span> 相同 —— 即，位置 ③（参见 [1.4](1.4-articulators)）。
|
||
|
||
When pronouncing the 'l' sound, the tip of the tongue starts in the same position as it does for 't/d', i.e. position ③ (as described in [1.4](1.4-articulators)).
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
<span class="pho">r</span> 发声时起始的舌尖位置相对更加靠后 —— 即，位置 ④（参见 [1.4](1.4-articulators)）
|
||
|
||
For the 'r' sound, the tongue's tip begins a bit further back, i.e. position ④ (as described in [1.4](1.4-articulators)).
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
<span class="pho">l</span> 和 <span class="pho">r</span> 处于音节开头的时候，人们一般不会觉得困难，比如 *lot* <span class="pho alt">lɑːt</span><span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/us/lot-us-male.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/us/lot-us-female.mp3"></span> 或者 *rot* <span class="pho alt">rɑːt</span><span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/us/rot-us-male.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/us/rot-us-female.mp3"></span>……
|
||
|
||
Pronouncing <span class="pho">l</span> and <span class="pho">r</span> at the beginning of syllables usually is of no difficulty at all, for example in words like *lot*' <span class="pho alt">lɑːt</span><span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/us/lot-us-male.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/us/lot-us-female.mp3"></span> or *rot* <span class="pho alt">rɑːt</span><span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/us/rot-us-male.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/us/rot-us-female.mp3"></span>…
|
||
|
||
<span class="pho">l</span> 的困难总是来自于它们处在音节末尾的时候。
|
||
|
||
The difficulty with <span class="pho">l</span> often arises when it's at the end of a syllable.
|
||
|
||
不妨尝试着先读一下 *milk* <span class="pho alt">mɪlk</span><span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/us/milk-us-male.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/us/milk-us-female.mp3"></span>…… 很多人读出来的实际上是 <span class="pho alt">mjʊk</span>……
|
||
|
||
Feel free to give the word *milk* <span class="pho alt">mɪlk</span><span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/us/milk-us-male.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/us/milk-us-female.mp3"></span> a try... Many people actually pronounce it more like <span class="pho alt">mjʊk</span>...
|
||
|
||
<span class="pho">l</span> 在音节末尾的时候，有一个看不到的动作，舌尖会向前向上移动直至贴到龈脊。于是，音节末尾的 <span class="pho">l</span> 会掺杂着一个轻微的 <span class="pho">ə</span> 的元音音色。
|
||
|
||
There's a hidden motion when the <span class="pho">l</span> is at the end of a syllable. The tip of the tongue moves forward and upward until it touches the *alveolar ridge*. Therefore, the <span class="pho">l</span> at the end of a syllable has a slight vowel sound <span class="pho">ə</span> mixed in.
|
||
|
||
说实话，倒也不是特别难，这只不过是几分钟就可以解决的问题。
|
||
|
||
Actually, it's not too challenging. With just a few minutes, it can be easily corrected.
|
||
|
||
> * 先反复说 <span class="pho">ə... əl... ə... əl...</span> 这里格外需要注意：嘴唇张开之后没有其它动作，**不要带嘴唇变化造成的 <span class="pho">ʊ</span> 的音色**；从 <span class="pho">ə</span> 到 <span class="pho">l</span> 的过程中，保持声带振动，剩余的全靠舌尖移动完成……
|
||
> * Start by repeating <span class="pho">ə... əl... ə... əl...</span> Here's a crucial point: after opening lips, make *no* other movements. Avoid adding the sound of <span class="pho">ʊ</span> caused by lip changes. During the transition from <span class="pho">ə</span> to <span class="pho">əl</span>, while maintaining vocal cord vibration, let the tip of your tongue handle the rest...
|
||
> * 接着直接反复说 <span class="pho">əl... əl...</span>
|
||
> * Next, repeating <span class="pho">əl... əl...</span>
|
||
> * 再反复说 <span class="pho">əlk... əlk...</span>
|
||
> * Follow with repeating <span class="pho">əlk... əlk...</span>
|
||
> * 现在反复说 <span class="pho">mɪəlk... mɪəlk...</span> 现在需要格外注意：为了 <span class="pho">m</span> 发声所以需要张开嘴唇，但，**此后嘴唇没有其他动作，否则会带着 <span class="pho">ʊ</span> 的音色**……
|
||
> * Now, keep saying <span class="pho">mɪəlk... mɪəlk...</span>. Again, pay special attention here: lips are opened to make the <span class="pho">m</span> sound, but after that, there should be no other lip movement, thus avoiding unnecessary <span class="pho">ʊ</span> sound.

再用同样的方式练练 *girl* <span class="pho alt">ɡɝːl</span><span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/us/girl-us-male.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/us/girl-us-female.mp3"></span>（常常会被误读成 <span class="pho alt">gəʊ</span>）, *world* <span class="pho alt">wɝːld</span><span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/us/world-us-male.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/us/world-us-female.mp3"></span>（常常会被误读成 <span class="pho alt">wəʊd</span>）。
|
||
|
||
Practice pronouncing *girl* <span class="pho alt">ɡɝːl</span><span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/us/girl-us-male.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/us/girl-us-female.mp3"></span> (often mispronounced as <span class="pho alt">gəʊl</span>) and *world* <span class="pho alt">wɝːld</span><span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/us/world-us-male.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/us/world-us-female.mp3"></span> (often mispronounced as <span class="pho alt">wəʊd</span>) the same way.
|
||
|
||
以 <span class="pho">l</span> 处于音节末尾的常用词汇很多，读得时候要注意，要加上 <span class="pho">ə</span>，比如：
|
||
|
||
There are many common words where <span class="pho">l</span> ends the syllable. Be sure to include the <span class="pho">ə</span> sound when pronouncing them. For example:
|
||
|
||
> *fail* <span class="pho alt">feɪl</span><span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/us/fail-us-male.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/us/fail-us-female.mp3"></span>, *file* <span class="pho alt">faɪl</span><span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/us/file-us-male.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/us/file-us-female.mp3"></span>, *sell* <span class="pho alt">sel</span><span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/us/sell-us-male.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/us/sell-us-female.mp3"></span>, *sale* <span class="pho alt">seɪl</span><span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/us/sale-us-male.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/us/sale-us-female.mp3"></span>, *tell* <span class="pho alt">tel</span><span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/us/tell-us-male.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/us/tell-us-female.mp3"></span>, *tale* <span class="pho alt">teɪl</span><span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/us/tale-us-male.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/us/tale-us-female.mp3"></span>, *trail* <span class="pho alt">treɪl</span><span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/us/trail-us-male.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/us/trail-us-female.mp3"></span>, *drill* <span class="pho alt">drɪl</span><span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/us/drill-us-male.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/us/drill-us-female.mp3"></span>...
|
||
|
||
注意，<span class="pho alt">ʌl</span> 没有 <span class="pho">ᵊ</span> 的加音，因为 <span class="pho">ʌ</span> 和 <span class="pho">ə</span> 原本就非常相近。比如，*ultimate* <span class="pho alt">ˈʌltɪmət</span><span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/us/ultimate-us-male.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/us/ultimate-us-female.mp3"></span>，或者 *result* <span class="pho alt">rɪˈzəlt</span><span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/us/result-us-male.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/us/result-us-female.mp3"></span>。另外，在自然语音中，<span class="pho alt">iːl</span> 要注意。比如， *reveal*，词典里的音标是 <span class="pho alt">rɪˈviːl</span>， 但它的确读做 <span class="pho alt">rɪˈviːᵊl</span><span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/us/reveal-us-male.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/us/reveal-us-female.mp3"></span>，有加音 <span class="pho">ᵊ</span>，但，*revealing*，读作 <span class="pho alt">rɪˈviːlɪŋ</span><span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/us/revealing-us-male.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/us/revealing-us-female.mp3"></span>，没有加音 <span class="pho">ᵊ</span>，可能是因为 <span class="pho">l</span> 被挪到后面和 <span class="pho">ɪŋ</span> 构成了第三个音节 <span class="pho alt">lɪŋ</span>……
|
||
|
||
Note that <span class="pho alt">ʌl</span> doesn't have <span class="pho">ᵊ</span> sound added, since <span class="pho alt">ʌ</span> and <span class="pho">ə</span> are already very similar. For instance, *ultimate* <span class="pho alt">ˈəltəmət</span><span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/us/ultimate-us-male.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/us/ultimate-us-female.mp3"></span>, or *result* <span class="pho alt">rɪˈzəlt</span><span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/us/result-us-male.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/us/result-us-female.mp3"></span>. Also, pay attention to <span class="pho alt">iːl</span> in natural speech. For example, while *reveal* is noted as <span class="pho alt">rɪˈviːl</span> in dictionary, and indeed pronounced as <span class="pho alt">rɪˈviːᵊl</span><span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/us/reveal-us-male.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/us/reveal-us-female.mp3"></span>, with <span class="pho">ᵊ</span> sound, *revealing* is pronounced as <span class="pho alt">rɪˈviːlɪŋ</span><span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/us/revealing-us-male.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/us/revealing-us-female.mp3"></span>, without <span class="pho">ᵊ</span>. This change might be due to the fact that the <span class="pho">l</span> sound has been moved to form a third syllable with <span class="pho">ɪŋ</span> as <span class="pho alt">lɪŋ</span>.
|
||
|
||
<span class="pho">l</span> 在语言学里有个专门的称呼，叫做**音节辅音**，就是因为它的发声动作如果完整的话，前面就会自然附加着一个轻微的元音 <span class="pho">ᵊ</span> 的音色。比如，*little* <span class="pho alt">ˈlɪtl̩</span><span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/us/little-us-male.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/us/little-us-female.mp3"></span> —— <span class="pho">l</span> 下面多出的那一个点 <span class="pho">l̩</span> 的意思是说，这里的 <span class="pho">l̩</span> 是个**音节辅音**，相当于 <span class="pho alt">ᵊl</span>…… 当然，很多词典干脆就直接标注成了 <span class="pho alt">ˈlɪtᵊl</span> 或者 <span class="pho alt">ˈlɪtəl</span>。CEPD 里标注的是 <span class="pho alt">ˈlɪt̬əl</span>，因为 <span class="pho">t</span> 夹在两个元音之间，变成了弹舌音 <span class="pho">t̬</span>。
|
||
|
||
In linguistics, the letter <span class="pho">l</span> has a particular name - it's called a *syllabic consonant*. This is because when it is fully pronounced, a subtle vowel sound <span class="pho">ᵊ</span> naturally attaches to the front of it. For example, in the word *little* <span class="pho alt">ˈlɪtl̩</span><span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/us/little-us-male.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/us/little-us-female.mp3"></span>, the dot under the <span class="pho">l</span> (<span class="pho">l̩</span>) indicates that this <span class="pho">l</span> is a *syllabic consonant*. It's equivalent to <span class="pho alt">ᵊl</span>. And many dictionaries simply denote it as <span class="pho alt">ˈlɪtəl</span>. The pronunciation indicated in the CEPD is <span class="pho alt">ˈlɪt̬əl</span>, for the <span class="pho">t</span> is sandwiched between two vowels, which in this case becomes a flapped <span class="pho">t̬</span>.
|
||
|
||
英文中另外一个**音节辅音**是 <span class="pho">m</span>。例如，*chasm* <span class="pho alt">ˈkæzm̩</span><span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/us/chasm-us-male.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/us/chasm-us-female.mp3"></span>，相当于 <span class="pho alt">ˈkæzᵊm</span>, *prism* <span class="pho alt">ˈprɪzm̩</span><span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/us/prism-us-male.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/us/prism-us-female.mp3"></span>，相当于 <span class="pho alt">ˈprɪzᵊm</span>。
|
||
|
||
Another *syllabic consonant* in English is <span class="pho">m</span>. For example, *chasm* <span class="pho alt">ˈkæzm̩</span><span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/us/chasm-us-male.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/us/chasm-us-female.mp3"></span>，equivalent to <span class="pho alt">ˈkæzᵊm</span>, and *prism* <span class="pho alt">ˈprɪzm̩</span><span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/us/prism-us-male.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/us/prism-us-female.mp3"></span>，equivalent to <span class="pho alt">ˈprɪzᵊm</span>.
