⚙︎ 設定港人英語正音
專為香港人而設 — 針對粵語母語者常見嘅英語發音難點，逐個音練到聽得明、講得清。
發音難點
TH (θ / ð)
θ·ð 唔好變做 f·s·d
港人常把 θ 讀成 f 或 s（three→free、think→sink），把 ð 讀成 d（this→dis）。正音要把舌尖輕放上下排牙齒之間，輕輕送氣（θ 無聲、ð 有聲），唔好縮返埋。
- think↔sinkθ → s
- thin↔finθ → f
- three↔freeθ → f
- thank↔sankθ → s
- mouth↔mouse詞尾 θ → s
- path↔pass詞尾 θ → s
- thigh↔sighθ → s
- they↔dayð → d
- then↔denð → d
- there↔dareð → d
例句
- I think this is the third one.
- Thank you for the birthday gift.
- They are brothers from the south.
- Both of them are thirty.
詞尾輔音
詞尾子音要出齊、分清濁
粵語音節結尾只有 -p/-t/-k（不爆破）同鼻音，所以英文詞尾子音常被省略或清化（bag→back、leave→leaf）。要把結尾子音清楚送出，並分清最後一個音係有聲（濁）定無聲（清）。
- bag↔back詞尾 g / k
- bed↔bet詞尾 d / t
- dog↔dock詞尾 g / k
- cab↔cap詞尾 b / p
- robe↔rope詞尾 b / p
- leave↔leaf詞尾 v / f
- prize↔price詞尾 z / s
- pig↔pick詞尾 g / k
- code↔coat詞尾 d / t
- buzz↔bus詞尾 z / s
例句
- Put the big bag on the back seat.
- He kept the receipt in his bag.
- Close the door and lock it.
- I picked the best one.
V / W / F
v 要咬唇出濁音，唔好變 w 或 f
港人常把 v 讀成 w（very→wery）或 f（five→fife）。v：上排牙齒輕咬下唇，出有聲（濁）音；w：嘴唇收圓；f 同 v 口形一樣，但 f 唔出聲。
- vine↔winev → w
- vest↔westv → w
- vet↔wetv → w
- veal↔wheelv → w
- van↔fanv → f
- vine↔finev → f
- very↔ferryv → f
- save↔safe詞尾 v / f
- view↔fewv → f
- vault↔faultv → f
例句
- We have very fine wine.
- The vet drives a white van.
- Save the file in a safe place.
- I have a lovely view of the valley.
L / R 與 N / L
l·r 要分清，字頭 n 唔好讀成 l
港人常 l/r 不分（light→right）、字頭 n 讀成 l（night→light）。r：舌頭捲起但唔掂上顎；l：舌尖頂住上排牙齦；n：舌尖頂齦同時出鼻音。
- light↔rightl / r
- lice↔ricel / r
- lead↔readl / r
- glass↔grassl / r（子音群）
- fly↔fryl / r（子音群）
- play↔prayl / r（子音群）
- long↔wrongl / r
- night↔light字頭 n / l
- need↔lead字頭 n / l
- snow↔slown / l
例句
- Turn right at the red light.
- I need to read it slowly.
- Please play the right song.
- The grass looks greener at night.
長短元音 /iː/ vs /ɪ/
sheep（長）同 ship（短）要分開
港式英語常把長短元音讀到一樣（ship/sheep 不分）。/iː/：拉長、嘴角向兩邊扯；/ɪ/：短而鬆，舌位略低。長短同埋鬆緊都要做出嚟。
- sheep↔ship綿羊 / 船
- seat↔sit座位 / 坐
- feet↔fit腳 / 合身
- leave↔live離開 / 住
- heel↔hill腳跟 / 山丘
- peak↔pick頂峰 / 揀
- sleep↔slip睡 / 滑倒
- reach↔rich到達 / 富有
- green↔grin綠 / 咧嘴笑
- cheap↔chip便宜 / 薯片
例句
- These sheep are on the ship.
- Please take a seat and sit down.
- It is cheap to live here.
- Keep your feet still.
短元音 /æ/ /e/ /ʌ/
bad · bed · bud 要分開
港人常把 /æ/、/e/、/ʌ/ 讀到分唔到。/æ/：嘴張大、扁（cat）；/e/：開口中等（bed）；/ʌ/：放鬆嘅央元音（cup）。
- bad↔bedæ / e
- bat↔betæ / e
- man↔menæ / e
- sad↔saidæ / e（said = sed）
- cat↔cutæ / ʌ
- cap↔cupæ / ʌ
- bag↔bugæ / ʌ
- ran↔runæ / ʌ
- pen↔pune / ʌ
- bet↔bute / ʌ
例句
- That man has a bad cut.
- I bet the bag is on the bed.
- Ten men ran to the bus.
- He said it was just bad luck.
圓唇 /ʊ/ vs /uː/
full（短）同 fool（長）要分開
港人常把短嘅 /ʊ/ 同長嘅 /uː/ 讀到一樣。/ʊ/：短而鬆（book）；/uː/：長、嘴唇收得好圓（food）。
- fool↔fulluː / ʊ
- pool↔pulluː / ʊ
- Luke↔lookuː / ʊ（Luke = 人名）
- suit↔sootuː / ʊ（soot = 煤灰）
- wooed↔wooduː / ʊ（wooed = 追求）
- cooed↔coulduː / ʊ
- stewed↔stooduː / ʊ（stewed = 燉）
- food↔foot聽元音長短
例句
- The full pool looks cool.
- Luke took a good look.
- Put your foot in the new suit.
- The food is too good.
Z / S
z 要出聲，唔好變 s
港人常把 z 讀成 s（zoo→sue、prize→price）。z 同 s 口形一樣，但 z 要出聲（聲帶震動），s 唔出聲。
- zoo↔suez / s（sue = 控告）
- zip↔sipz / s
- zinc↔sinkz / s
- zeal↔sealz / s（zeal = 熱忱）
- fuzzy↔fussyz / s
- lazy↔lacyz / s
- eyes↔ice詞尾 z / s
- knees↔niece詞尾 z / s
例句
- The zoo closes at noon.
- She zipped up her bag.
- Those are his eyes, not ice.
- He won the prize, not the price.
子音群
連住讀，唔好加多個元音或漏音
粵語冇子音群，港人常喺中間加元音（film→fi-lum）或者刪走其中一個音（asked→ask）。要將幾個子音連住一氣讀出，唔好插入元音，亦唔好漏。
- filmfɪlm，唔係 fi-lum
- milkmɪlk，尾音 -lk 連住
- world-rld 三個子音連住
- askedɑːskt，尾音 -skt 唔好刪
- textstɛksts，-ksts 全部出齊
- clotheskloʊðz，≈ close
- monthsmʌnθs，-nθs 連住
- strengthsstrɛŋθs，最難之一
- spring字頭 spr- 連住
- street字頭 str- 連住
例句
- I asked about the film.
- She sent six texts.
- The world feels cold in the months ahead.
- Hang the clothes in the spring breeze.
詞重音
同一串字母，重音位置改變意思
港人常把每個音節讀到一樣重。英文每個多音節字只有一個主重音，其餘要輕、短（常變 schwa）。好多名／動詞同串法，靠重音分：名詞多重前，動詞多重後。大階表示重讀音節。
- REcord↔reCORD名詞 / 動詞
- PREsent↔preSENT禮物 / 呈交
- OBject↔obJECT物件 / 反對
- CONtract↔conTRACT合約 / 收縮
- PERmit↔perMIT許可證 / 准許
- INcrease↔inCREASE增幅 / 增加
- EXport↔exPORT出口（名 / 動）
- PROduce↔proDUCE農產品 / 生產
例句
- I'd like to reCORD a new REcord.
- They will preSENT you a PREsent.
- Please perMIT me to get a PERmit.
- Sales inCREASE every year, a big INcrease.
