2. Unit 2 /:/ // // • 英英对比：/:/ // /:/中元音，长元音。 发此音时，舌平放于口中，舌中部稍抬起，舌尖处于自然状态。嘴唇向两侧拉开，两齿间距离约一指宽。唇形扁平。发音时间长。 // 中元音，短元音。 发此音时，舌身平放，舌中部稍上抬。双唇放松，牙床半开。发音时间短，永不重读。在所有元音中，它的发音最轻松。 • 汉英对比： 长元音/:/的发音与汉语的“俄”相似，与“俄”不同的是：发音时嘴唇要紧张起来并成扁平形状。声音长度是汉语的三倍以上。 //的发音与汉语中的“耳”相近，两者不同的是：该音标发音时嘴唇成扁平状。

9. Unit 2 // /:/ • 英英对比 // /:/ // 中元音，短元音。发此音时，舌中部稍抬起，舌尖触下齿。嘴唇向两侧伸开，与/:/ //比较，//的舌部隆起部位略靠前，位置略低，开口程度较大。嘴唇应处于紧张状态。发音时间短。//音是三个元音发音最靠前的一个，其发音接近前元音。将此音发得太靠后是常见的毛病。 • 汉英对比 //的发音与汉语的“啊”相近，但发音较短促，可在发“啊”的基础上嘎然而止，就像是在夸张地打嗝。
