第 163 课：送气H

Lesson 163: Aspirated Hs

Three letters in English are aspirated. 三个英文字母送气。 This means that they are pronounced with a puff of air. 这意味着它们是通过吹气来发音的。 They are: D (duh), P (puh) and T (tuh). 它们是：D (duh)、P (puh) 和 T (tuh)。 The letter H is both aspirated (huh) and non-aspirated (uh)! 字母 H 既是送气 (huh)，又是非送气 (uh)！ So its pronunciation, just by itself, can be either "haitch" or "aitch". 因此，就其本身而言，它的发音可以是“haitch”或“aitch”。

Some English speakers regularly skip aspiration: for example saying "otel" instead of "hotel", and "erb" instead of "herb". 一些讲英语的人经常跳过送气：例如说“otel”而不是“hotel”，说“erb”而不是“herb”。 But the generally accepted English rule is: aspirate all words starting with H, but leave the pronunciation of the letter H, just by itself, unaspirated. 但普遍接受的英语规则是：将所有以 H 开头的单词送气，但将字母 H 的发音单独保留，不送气。

So, say "hotel", "herb", "how", "however" as John pronounces them in these lessons. 因此，按照约翰在这些课程中的发音，说出“hotel”、“herb”、“how”、“however”。 But when talking about just the letter H, say "aitch". 但当只谈论字母 H 时，请说“aitch”。
