Hello. I'm John Russell.
大家好，我是约翰·罗素。
Let's explore an important difference in vowel sounds: the /倒e/(注: 此写法为便于编辑，正确书写请看视频) vowel sound versus the /ae/(注: 此写法为便于编辑，正确书写请看视频) vowel sound.
让我们来共同探索一个重要的发音区分：/倒e/和/ae/（注: 此写法为便于编辑，正确书写请看视频）。
You can think of the two sounds as cousins.
你可以把这两种声音想像成表亲。
How so?
为什么这样说呢？
Well, they belong to the same family of front vowels, but they have some differences between them.
它们属于同一个前元音家族，但是也有一些不同之处。
Think of /倒e/ as steady and think of /ae/ as emotional.
想象/倒e/音是稳定的，/ae/音是情绪化的。
I'll explain.
下面我来解释一下。
To make both the /倒e/ and /ae/ sounds, your tongue should be closer to the floor of your mouth.
要发出/倒e/和/ae/的音，你的舌头应该贴近你嘴巴的底部。
But with the /ae/ sound, your tongue should be flat on the floor of your mouth and your jaw should be lower.
但是发/ae/音的时候，你的舌头应该平放在你嘴巴底部，下巴放低。
Here are some examples: men, man, said, sad, tech, tack.
下面请看一些例子：（男人/倒e/，男人/ae/，说/倒e/，悲伤/ae/，技术/倒e/，图钉/ae/）。
The reason I said you should think of /ae/ as an emotional sound is because many common emotions have the /ae/ sound. sad, mad, glad, happy.
我说应该把/ae/看作是一种情绪声音的原因是，许多常见的情绪单词都有/ae/的音。（悲伤，疯狂，高兴，开心）
Notice that the /ae/ sound is often spelled with the letter "a", while the /倒e/ sound is often spelled with the letter "e" or the letters "ea".
注意/ae/音通常拼写形式是字母“a”，而/倒e/音通常拼写形式是字母“e”或字母“ea”。
ten, tan, bed, bad, head, had.
十/倒e/，棕褐色/ae/，床/倒e/，坏的/ae/，头/倒e/，有/ae/。
That's all for today.
以上就是今天的全部内容。
Keep up the good work.
继续加油！
