1) muhn-ee 慢尼
2) muh-nee 妈你
which one is correct? | m******e 发帖数: 536 | 2 I once asked my speech coach exactly the same question. His answer was that
they were both fine, while the first way may be easier for the beginner to
understand and follow.
Another example of this kind is "an apple", which could be pronounced as
either
/ə-na-pl/ or /ən-na-pl/.
You might think there is a big difference here. But if you actually record
and listen to both pronunciations, it is hard to detect any significant
distinction. Moreover, both ways give people clear ideas of what you are
talking about.
But for the adjective of this word, "monetay" ,
it should be /ma:-nə-te-ri/,
NOT /ma:n-nə-te-ri/.

| m******e 发帖数: 536 | 4 我就我的理解来说明一下为什么monetary(/ma-nə-tery)发/man-nə-tery/不
好。原因a是后置元音,就是发音位置靠后的元音(cop,hot),而n是前置的辅音,就是
发音位置靠前的辅音,就像拼音里前鼻音。如果你这两个连一起发音,相互影响,使靠
前的n音受靠后的a音影响,n变得有点像后鼻音ŋ(昂)了。所以听起来像“盲呢
太瑞”,和标准的“妈呢太瑞”差别就较大。
但为什么money /mʌ-ni/和/mʌn-ni/都可以了,因为ʌ是发音位置中间
稍稍靠前一点的元音(cup,hug),和前鼻音n,位置差得没有上面a和n的大,互相干扰很
小。但如果是比较高级更精确正规的发音,money还是/mʌ-ni/好。
a和ʌ不仅是发音长短不同,发音位置的差异也很重要。
