英语单词中不发音的元音字母(Silent vowel in words)
英语单词中有时会出现不发音的元音字母。由于它们不符合一般英语发音规则而给我们的学习带来困难。
下面是我对元音不发音的单词总结。
1. 以元音E结尾
在绝大多数的情况下,以E结尾的多音节单词,E不发音。以e结尾的英语单词很多。注意,这里不包括以ee结尾的词,如see.
在一些词中,E的结尾起到的作用是使前一个元音从短元音变为长元音。但E不发音。
例词:fat – fate, win – wine, hop – hope, cub – cube
另外一些以E结尾的单词,不符合上述短元音变长元音的规律。只是结尾的E不发音。
例词:
以le结尾:circle, cattle, middle, apple, single, trouble
以ce结尾:since, notice, voice, force, dance, office, practice
以se结尾:house, else, horse, course, praise, sense, whose, please
以re结尾:before, sure, figure, are
以ve结尾:give, have, love, believe, serve
其它:come, some, one, there, large, eye, edge, gone, done
2. 含有双元音的单词中不发音的元音
A不发音:aisle, team, spread, boat
E 不发音:great, heist, feud, pie, toe
I不发音:pail, receive, believe, juice
O不发音:people, jeopardy
U不发音:gauge, laugh, guess, guest,guide,build,guilty
3. 不发音的UE
以UE结尾的单词,UE不发音。
