前元音/e/和/æ/
發(fā)音秘訣
/e/：短元音。發(fā)音時(shí)，舌尖抵下齒，舌前部稍抬起，但舌位比發(fā)/ɪ/寬，雙唇向兩邊張開，唇形中長(zhǎng)，嘴形扁平，上下齒間可容一食指，口形自然放松，發(fā)音短促。如：get/get/，friend/frend/，help/help/，bench/bentʃ/等。
/æ/：短元音。該音俗稱梅花音。發(fā)音時(shí)，舌尖抵下齒，舌身低平，前舌稍高，但比其他前元音/ɪ/、/e/要低，口要張大，口開約三分之二，可以容納食指和中指，雙唇向兩邊伸張，稍扁，發(fā)這個(gè)音時(shí)咽喉要收縮。如：plan/plæn/，have/hæv/，action/'ækʃən/，man/mæn/等。
注意要點(diǎn)：/e/與/æ/是中國(guó)英語學(xué)習(xí)者的發(fā)音難點(diǎn)之一，發(fā)音時(shí)往往會(huì)出現(xiàn)以下問題：（1）很多人總是把這兩個(gè)音發(fā)成漢字“唉”的音。這是由于發(fā)音時(shí)口腔肌肉過于緊張?jiān)斐傻?，注意要將兩頰肌肉足夠放松。（2）容易將/e/錯(cuò)發(fā)成/I/，主要由于舌位偏高造成的，注意將舌位壓低。（3）/æ/音發(fā)不好，容易和/e/混淆，是由于我們不習(xí)慣說話時(shí)把嘴張得那么大。實(shí)際發(fā)音時(shí)應(yīng)注意將舌位壓低，盡量把嘴向兩邊張大，好像要嘔吐似的。（4）當(dāng)/e//æ/與/n/連用時(shí)容易受到漢語的影響，在元音沒發(fā)到位的時(shí)候就開始發(fā)鼻音，如：pen發(fā)成“盆”，把men發(fā)成“門”，我們?cè)诎l(fā)音時(shí)應(yīng)該注意先把元音/e/、/æ/發(fā)完整，也可故意拉長(zhǎng)，發(fā)到位后再向輔音過渡。另外需要注意的是在美式音標(biāo)中，/e/用/ɛ/表示，發(fā)音時(shí)舌高稍低，開口比英音要大些；發(fā)/æ/音時(shí)，英音比美音舌高稍低，發(fā)音部位靠后，而美音發(fā)音部位靠前，接近/ɛ/的發(fā)音。
