跟着儿子学英语（四）

元音ar, er, or.

 

（一）发音规则。首先记住这三个带r的两字母复合音(digraph)发出的是一个音(one sound)，它们不是混合音(blend)，如st。

 

ar: The girl has avery bad sore throat. The doctor makes her say ah.

 Action: Open mouth wide andsay ah, as if at the doctors.

 如果你曾经嗓子疼看医生，医生让你张大嘴说“啊”，你会说，那就它了。不过别把这音和音a 搞混了，典型地例子：park,pack。不过如果你马马虎虎地把它们搞混了，应该也没啥大问题。

er: Inky is makingsome gingerbread people. She mixes up all the ingredients with a mixer –erererer.

 Action: Roll hands over eachother like a mixer and say erererer.

 这个描述有点儿迷糊。常做饭，而且得是常做西餐的人估计明白上面在说啥。不过我感觉这音基本就是汉语拼音里的“呃”。这个音也容易和音 u 搞混。比如：bug,berg.

or: Action: Puthands on head as if ears on a donkey and say eeyore, eeyore.

 你要是在乡下长大，估计你发这音应该没问题，因为驴叫你肯定应该听过。:-）这个音容易和音 o, oa 混淆。如fork, float, flock.

 

（二）声音与拼写。

音ar :

ar(art, car, park, bar), a(father), er(sergeant), ear(heart), ua(guard), aa(bazaar), au(aunt), al(calm)

拼写 ar, 音 er: grammar.

 

音 er:  音er 在单词中有四种常用拼法：er,ir, ur, ear

• 音 er: er(her, fern, herd, jerk enter winter roller ginger faster), or(worst worm work world worse worth), ur(fur hurt burn burp curl surf churn turn, nurse), ir(sir sir fir bird girl dirt skirt shirt thirst), yr(myrtle), our(journey colour harbour), ear(earn learn heard earth, pearl), err(err), eur(amateur), yrrh(myrrh), ar(collar dollar grammar), oeu(hors d'oeuvre), olo(colonel), uer(Guernsey), re(metre, centre).

 

音 or: 音or 在单词中有三种常用拼法：or, oor, au, aw

• 音 or: or(or, fork, storm, corn, horse, short sport pork horn), oor(poor, door, floor), au(pause, august, autumn), aw(paw, prawn, straw), ore(snore, explore, more, core), oar(roar), war(ward).
• 拼写 or, 音 oo: worsted

• 拼写 or, 音 er: worst

 

（三）注释。以前，在我们学英语的时候，估计都有被教过所谓的r-音。比方说a’r“阿厄”(vary)，e’r“一厄”(period)，i’r“爱厄”(tired)，o’r“哦厄”(storage)，u’r“又厄”(during)。这些音在英国小学教育里不被列入42个基本音中。他们把它们处理成混合音(blends)，因为他们发两个以上的音。另外还有其他组合音。如：

音 ear: ear/eer/ere (fear, cheer, mere, here, hear, tear(泪))

音 air: air/are/ear/eir/ere/er/ar/aire/aa/aer/ayr(lair, stairs, hair, pair, spare, stare, bare, ware, hare, tear（撕）, bear, pear, wear, their, heir, there, where, stationery, stationary, millionaire,Aaron, aerial, Ayr)
