这个错误很严重，shit还是sheet?
<p>英语的元音音标中，长元音/<span word="i">i</span>ː/和短元音/ɪ/是非常容易混淆的一对音标，一不小心就会读错。更为糟糕的是，很多不好的词是由短元音/ɪ/构成的，比如<span word="shit">shit</span>，<span word="piss">piss</span>，<span word="bitch">bitch</span>，<span word="sick">sick</span>，<span word="sin">sin</span>等等(小编都不好意思给出翻译，请把鼠标放在单词上自己问沪江小<span word="D">D</span>吧!)，说错或听错的后果非常严重。所以我们还是多花些时间，把它们好好拎拎清楚吧!</p><p>【发音对比】</p><p>/<span word="i">i</span>ː/发音时唇角向左右两侧展开，舌头前部抬高，与上颚之间形成的空隙非常狭窄;相比之下/ɪ/的舌前抬高的幅度要小一些，嘴角的左右拉伸程度也较小，总之舌头和嘴唇的肌肉都相对轻松些。以下对比图非常清晰地看出这两项区别。</p><p>虽说人们常把/<span word="i">i</span>ː/和/ɪ/看作是成对的长元音和短元音，但是它们的区别绝不仅仅在于音程的长短!在以下这段<span word="BBC">BBC</span>的教学视频中，也可以看到<span word="Alex">Alex</span>教授并没有刻意拉长/<span word="i">i</span>ː/的音程。</p><p>看过了嘴形的区别之后，再锻炼一下我们的耳朵，是否能听出他们的区别?</p><p>/<span word="i">i</span>ː/ /ɪ/; <span word="sheep">sheep</span> <span word="ship">ship</span>; <span word="bean">bean</span> <span word="bin">bin</span>; <span word="meal">meal</span> <span word="mill">mill</span>; <span word="heel">heel</span> <span word="hill">hill</span>.</p><p><span word="Look">Look</span> <span word="out">out</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="sheep">sheep</span>! / <span word="Look">Look</span> <span word="out">out</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="ship">ship</span>!</p><p><span word="Stop">Stop</span> <span word="it">it</span> <span word="leaking">leaking</span>! / <span word="Stop">Stop</span> <span word="it">it</span> <span word="licking">licking</span>!</p><p><span word="What">What</span> <span word="lovely">lovely</span> <span word="cheeks">cheeks</span>! / <span word="What">What</span> <span word="lovely">lovely</span> <span word="chicks">chicks</span>!</p><p><span word="Throw">Throw</span> <span word="out">out</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="bean">bean</span>! / <span word="Throw">Throw</span> <span word="out">out</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="bin">bin</span>!</p>
