In this American English pronunciation video, we're going to learn how to pronounce the AH as in FATHER vowel.
在本期的美式英语发音视频中，我们将学习如何发FATHER中的元音AH。
This vowel needs a lot of jaw drop. Ah.
这个元音发音时需要下颚张大些。Ah。
The tongue tip lightly touches behind the bottom front teeth, and the back part of the tongue presses down a little bit.
舌尖轻轻触碰下门牙的后面，舌头的后面稍微向下压。
Ah. The lips are neutral, very relaxed. Ah. Because the tongue presses down in the back, you can see further into the dark space in the mouth.
Ah。嘴唇张开的大小适中，非常放松。Ah。由于舌头在口腔后部向下压，你可以看到口腔深处的黑暗区域。
Let's see that by watching this vowel up close and in slow motion.
让我们用慢镜头近距离观察这个元音。
The lips are relaxed, and the tongue is lowered in the back. The inside of the mouth is dark.
嘴唇放松，舌头后侧下压。嘴巴里面是黑暗的。
The word 'job'. The jaw drops, and the tongue presses down in the back.
看下“job”这个词。下颚下垂，舌头在背部下压。
Ah. When this vowel is in a stressed syllable, the voice will go up and come down in pitch, ah, job, ah.
Ah。当这个元音出现在重读音节时，音调会忽高忽低，ah, job, ah。
When it's in an unstressed syllable, it won't be as long, and it won't have the up-down shape of the voice, ah, ah. For example, in the word 'blockade', ah, ah, blockade.
当它出现在非重读音节时，就不会那么长，也不会上下起伏，ah, ah。例如，在单词“blockade”中，ah, ah, blockade。
The mouth position looks the same: jaw drop, relaxed lips, and tongue pressed slightly down in the back.
嘴巴的位置看起来是一样的：下颚下垂，嘴唇放松，舌头在后面微微下压。
But because the pitch is flatter and the syllable is quicker, it sounds unstressed. Ah, ah.
但是因为音调更平缓，音节更快，所以听起来没有重读。Ah, ah。
Stressed AH: job, AH. Unstressed ah: blockade, ah. AH, ah. AH, ah.
重读：job, AH。非重读：blockade, ah。AH, ah. AH, ah。
Example words. Repeat with me: Honest, occupation, hot, clock, October, soft.
跟我重复一遍以下示例：Honest, occupation, hot, clock, October, soft。
