In this American English pronunciation video we're going to take a look at how this letter is pronounced.
在这期的美式英语发音视频中，我们来看看这个字母是如何发音的。
I often get emails from people asking questions like, "Why is the CH in CHICAGO pronounced differently than the CH in CHOICE?" SH vs. CH.
我经常收到人们的电子邮件，问这样的问题:“为什么CHICAGO中的CH和CHOICE中的CH发音不一样呢？” SH vs. CH。
And my answer is always, unfortunately, the sounds of American English do not correspond one-to-one with the letters of the alphabet.
遗憾的是，我给出的答案总是，美式英语的发音并不与字母表中的一一对应。
To know for sure how a word is pronounced, you need to either hear a native speaker say the word, or look up the word in a dictionary that has the International Phonetic Alphabet transcription.
为了确定一个单词的发音，你需要听以英语为母语的人说这个单词，或者在有国际音标字母表的字典里查这个单词。
Let's take a look at the letter E. In the word "shed', it is the EH, EH vowel. In the word "be', it is the ee, ee vowel. In the word "pretty', it's the IH vowel, IH, pretty.
让我们来看看字母E的发音。在单词“shed”中，发EH, EH。在单词“be”中，发ee, ee。在单词“pretty”中，发IH, IH，pretty。
In the word "anthem', it is the schwa, uh, uh, anthem. In the word "sergeant', it's the AH vowel. Sah, sergeant. In the word "cafe', it is the AY diphthong. Cafe.
在单词“anthem”中，发uh, uh, anthem。在单词“sergeant”中，发AH。sergeant。在单词“cafe”中，发AY。Cafe。
So when you see this letter in a word, you can't make assumptions about how it is pronounced. Look it up in a dictionary, or have native speaker say the word to you.
所以当你在单词中看到这个字母时，你不能去假设它的发音。可以查字典，或者让说母语的人告诉你。
That's it, and thanks so much for using Rachel's English.
