英语中的字母“H”什么时候不发音？/ 字母H不发音的规则：英语精读讲义

Hello and welcome back to pronunciation with Emma or welcome if you're brand new to my channel. 短語搭配

大家好，欢迎回到 Emma 的发音课堂，如果你是新来的，也欢迎你来到我的频道。

In today's video, we're going to talk about the silent letter H. 講解

在今天的视频中，我们要讨论不发音的字母 H。

I'll be talking about words that have the silent H

我会讲到包含不发音字母 H 的单词，

and I'll be talking about rules for you as well,

同时也会给大家讲讲相关规则，

so you know when the letter H is silent. 表達脈絡

这样你就知道什么时候字母 H 是不发音的了。

Do bear in mind that English is not a phonetic language, 講解

请记住，英语不是一种拼音文字（所见即所读），

so the rules that I'm going to share don't apply to every word that follow these rules. 短語搭配

所以我将要分享的规则并不适用于每一个符合这些规则的单词。

Just bear that in mind.

请务必记住这一点。

So, starting with the first rule, 表達脈絡

那么，从第一个规则开始，

when we have a word that begins with H, 短語搭配

当我们有一个以 H 开头的单词时，

but the origin is French or old French, 文化背景

如果它起源于法语或古法语，

we tend not to pronounce that H as a /h/ sound. 講解

我们通常不会把 H 发成 /h/ 的音。

We just remove it completely.

我们会把它完全去掉。

For example,

例如，

honest

honest

honest

honest

hour

hour

hour

hour

honor

honor

honor

honor

heir

heir

heir

heir

So, this is pronounced the same as the heir we breathe. 短語搭配

所以，它的发音和我们呼吸的空气（air）一样。

Different spellings, but same pronunciation. 用詞

拼写不同，但发音相同。

heiress

heiress

heiress

heiress

or heiress

或者 heiress

heiress

heiress

or another one, heiress

还有一种读法，heiress

heiress.

heiress。

So, for that last one, you've got three different ways to pronounce it. 用詞

对于最后一个单词，你有三种不同的发音方式。

So, you pick which one you prefer. 語氣意圖

你可以选择你喜欢的一种。

So, of course, this rule also applies to honestly. 短語搭配

当然，这个规则也适用于 honestly。

So, we have honest,

所以我们有 honest，

honestly,

honestly，

honestly.

honestly。

To make your life a little bit easier here, 習語

为了让你的发音更轻松，

what you can do is cut that T in the middle, 語法

你可以把中间的 T 去掉，

so you can just say honest.

所以你可以直接说 honest。

honestly.

honestly。

So, we cut that T and it makes it so much easier to pronounce.

所以，我们去掉那个 T，发音就容易多了。

Now, on to the second rule. 表達脈絡

现在，来看第二条规则。

When we have the combination of R and H together, 用詞

当我们有 R 和 H 组合在一起时，

we remove the H and we just pronounce the R sound.

我们去掉 H，只发 R 的音。

For example,

例如，

rhino.

rhino。

So, we don't try and say like rhino.

所以，我们不会试着发成类似 rhino（带H音）的样子。

It's really hard.

那样发音真的很难。

So, cut the H,

所以，去掉 H，

rhino.

rhino。

rhino.

rhino。

If you want the full name,

如果你想说它的全称，

rhinoceros.

rhinoceros。

rhinoceros.

rhinoceros。

rhyme

rhyme

rhyme

rhyme

rhythm

rhythm

rhythm

rhubarb

rhubarb

rhubarb

rhubarb

You might not know what a rhubarb is,

你可能不知道 rhubarb 是什么，

but it is quite common in the UK.

但它在英国很常见。

We tend to put it in pies, crumbles, desserts, and things.

我们通常会把它放进派、奶酥、甜点等食物里。

So, if you come to the UK,

所以，如果你来到英国，

then you might see rhubarb crumble, 文化背景

你可能会看到大黄奶酥（rhubarb crumble），

rhubarb and apple crumble.

大黄苹果奶酥。

It's really popular here.

它在这里非常受欢迎。

So, it's a handy one to know, especially if you visit the UK. 短語搭配

这是个很实用的小知识，尤其是去英国旅游的话。

Now, rule number three.

现在，规则三。

This is quite similar to the last one,

这个和上一个很相似，

but instead of having the combination RH, 語法

但我们不再是 RH 组合，

we now have WH. 用詞

现在是 WH 组合。

For example,

例如，

what.

what。

So, don't try and say like what.

所以，不要试着发成类似 what（带强H音）的样子。

I mean, you can, but that's really difficult, right?

我是说，你也可以，但那真的很难，对吧？

what

when

And yes, this is pronounced the same as whether. 用詞

And for our final rule,

至于最后一条规则，

we're going to look at the spelling CH. 用詞

我们来看看拼写 CH。

Words that typically, not all, 語氣意圖

通常来说，不是所有，

but typically come from Greek, 文化背景

但通常源自希腊语的单词中，

tend to have the CH spelling pronounced as a K. 用詞

CH 拼写往往发成 K 的音。

So, we don't pronounce it as a CH, which you might have already learned.

所以我们不发成 CH 音，这和你之前学过的可能不一样。

So, it's not CH like in cheese, 語法

也就是说，它不是 cheese 里的 CH，

but it's K like for example in ache.

而是 K 的音，例如 ache。

Sorry, I hear a lot of students saying H,

抱歉，我听到很多学生把它读成 H（字母H音），

I have a headahe for example,

比如 I have a headahe，

but it should be ache,

但它应该是 ache，

headache.

headache。

Now, for this rule,

对于这条规则，

I do have quite a lot of words in this list. 講解

我的列表中有很多这样的单词。

So, I'm just going to say them.

所以我打算直接把它们读出来。

You can pause and repeat if you want to practice, 短語搭配

如果你想练习的话，可以暂停并跟读，

but I'm just going to fly through them. 短語動詞

然而，在英国也有很多人
