五、 元音的主要发音特点
在重读闭音节中，一般来说，元音字母a, e, i(y), o, u分别读为： [?] 如：lamp, thank; [e] 如: well, very; [i] 如：is, ill, thin, pym; [?]如： hot, not, job; [?] 如：us, much, study
3、在非重读音节中，一般来说，a, o, u读成[?], e, i, y读成[i], 如： ago [?'g??] today [t?'de?] success [s?k'ses] autumn['??t?m] enjoy [?n'd???] mechanic [m?'k?n?k] busy ['b?z?]
4、元音字母与r组合在重读音节与非重读音节中的读音比较：组合重读例子非重读例子
ar [ɑ? ]park party grammar er[??]her[?]afternoon barber
ir[??] sir first [?]circumference [s?'k?mf?r?ns] or[??] morningfor[?]actor humor ur [??] furturn [?] Saturday
像任何规律一样，这些元音及组合的发音特点有其不同， 如 ：work应发[w??k], world应发[w?：ld]，warm应发[w??m]， village应发['v?l?d?] 6
