【糾音筆記】工具篇：跟美壇兩活寶和童鞋們分享一下字典和音標

有空寫寫這一年糾音以來的一些收獲，供有興趣的同學參考。

音標係統混雜，各個字典又用不同的係統，所以有時候符號特別多而怪。記得前一段美風貼出來的音標，吳曼問符號怎麽那麽怪，我後來看了看這個對照表，知道是因為美風用的是dictionary.com上的音標係統。

去年糾音以來，一直用小千推薦的Merriam-Webster，慢慢也就習慣了這套係統。剛才看到冰粒問really長音短音i的問題想到該推薦推薦，糾音要養成查字典的習慣，查MW最好。這裏有一個webster所有音標符號和音的對照，可以打印出來隨時查詢：

\ \ as a in abut \ \ as u in abut \ \ as e in kitten \ r \ as ur/er in further \ a \ as a in ash \ \ as a in ace \ ä \ as o in mop \ a \ as ou in out \ b \ as in baby \ ch \ as ch in chin \ d \ as d in did \ e \ as e in bet \ \ as ea in easy \ \ as y in easy \ f \ as f in fifty

\ g \ as g in go \ h \ as h in hat \ i \ as i in hit \ \ as i in ice \ j \ as j in job \ k \ as k in kin \ \ as ch in ich dien \ l \ as l in lily \ m \ as m in murmur \ n \ as n in own \ \ as ng in sing \ \ as o in go \ \ as aw in law \ i \ as oy in boy \ p \ as p in pepper

\ r \ as r in red \ s \ as s in less \ sh \ as sh in shy \ t \ as t in tie \ th \ as th in thin \ th \ as th in the \ ü \ as oo in loot \ \ as oo in foot \ v \ as v in vivid \ w \ as w in away \ y \ as y in yet \ yü \ as you in youth \ y \ as u in curable \ z \ as z in zone \ zh \ as si in vision

但是象Rachel's English上講到ing裏的i和永學哥說的beer裏的ee音標是短i，其實發起來是長i。另外這個短i和長i是我們延續了以前學英語的習慣，其實這兩個音的區別不隻是長和短。再加上有地域的區別，所以這些符號不是絕對的，甚至有時候很misleading，就需要聽一聽真人發音，再確定。
