（英式英语和美式英语发音的不同）

PhoneticsBox—DifferencesintheTwoPronunciation英式英语和美式英语在读音上的差异主要反映在元音字母a,o和辅音字母r的发音上。1.在ask,can’t,dance,fast,half,path这一类的单词中，英式英语将字母a读作/ɑː/，而美式英语则读作/æ/，所以这些词在美式英语中分别读作/æsk/，/kænt/，/dæns/，/fæst/，/hæf/，/pæθ/。DifferencesinPronunciationbetweenBritishEnglishandAmericanEnglish

（英式英语和美式英语发音的不同）2.在box，crop，hot，ironic，polish，spot这一类单词中，英式英语将字母o读作[ɑ]，而美式英语则将o读作近似[a:]音的[a]。所以这些词在美式英语中分别读作/baks/，/krap/，/hat/，/aɪˈranɪk/，/ˈpalɪʃ/和/spat/。3.辅音字母r在单词中是否发音是英式英语与美式英语的又一明显差异。在英式英语的r音节中不含卷舌音/r/，而美式英语的r音节中含卷舌音/r/，如下列词在英式英语和美式英语中读音是不同的：PhoneticsBox—DifferencesintheTwoPronunciation单词英式英语读音美式英语读音car/kaː//kaːr/door/dɔː//dɔːr/party/ˈpa:ti//ˈparti/board/bɔːd//bɔːrd/DifferencesinPronunciationbetweenBritishEnglishandAmericanEnglish

/ˈlæbrətɔːri/secretary/ˈsekrətri//ˈsekrəteri/

4.在以-ary或-ory结尾的多音节词中，英式英语通常将a或o弱读，而美式英语不仅不弱读，还要将a或o所在的音节加上次重音，例如：DifferencesinPronunciationbetweenBritishEnglishandAmericanEnglish
