Which word list best describes the pronunciation rule, “We close both our lips and air comes up from the throat, pushing the lips apart in a little explosion”?
A/p/ and /b/ in words like top and bit.正確答案
B/f/ and /v/ in words like ferry and very.
C/j/ and /w/ in words like university and world.
D/l/ in words like Liverpool and language.
答案與詳解
A
正確答案
題幹描述雙唇先閉合、氣流受阻後釋放的雙唇塞音，對應／p／與／b／，故選Ａ。
逐選項解析
A/p/ and /b/ in words like top and bit.✓ 正確
B/f/ and /v/ in words like ferry and very.✕ 易錯陷阱
ferry 的／f／與 very 的／v／都是唇齒擦音，以上排牙齒接近下唇形成狹窄通道，使氣流產生摩擦，並非雙唇完全閉合後爆破釋放。
C/j/ and /w/ in words like university and world.✕ 易錯陷阱
university 字首的／j／是硬顎近音，world 字首的／w／是唇軟顎近音，皆非塞音。／w／雖有圓唇動作，但雙唇並不完全閉合阻斷氣流。
