Hello. I'm John Russell.

大家好，我是约翰·罗素#ULp5XuBfNi。

In previous videos, I talked about the /倒e/ and /半圆o/ vowel sounds.(注：此音标写法为方便编辑，正确写法见视频)

在之前的视频中，我谈到元音/倒e/ 和 /半圆o/的发音rHuhv;]XhJNaveO*rZ-a。（注：此音标写法为方便编辑，正确写法见视频）

It's important to know the difference between these two.

知道这两个发音的区别是很重要的GzEj%=zydvZV~|。

Mixing them can change a word's meaning: done, dawn, but, bought.

搞混这两个音可以改变一个单词的含义：done/倒e/、dawn/半圆o/、but/倒e/、bought/半圆o/X(%=yy7#NU。

In the previous videos, I described /倒e/ as the sound of fun, and /半圆o/ as the sound of laws.

在之前的视频中，我提到/倒e/是有趣的声音，/半圆o/是法律的声音-AL5[8Dvqor~WEbCg。

Let's talk about that more.

我们来进一步讨论一下这个问题znPn9LVGRE0rb4!W9S#。

For the /倒e/ sound, your lips and tongue are relaxed as if they are having fun. fun, fun.

发/倒e/音时，你的嘴唇和舌头是放松的，好像他们玩得很开心似的40[u)M)256+EtI!B。

With the /半圆o/ sound, your lips have a slight oval shape, and your tongue is slightly tense.

发/半圆o/的音时，你的嘴唇有轻微的椭圆形，你的舌头有轻微的紧绷感D,~,890b)^j。

The biggest difference is in the tongue position.

最大的区别就是舌头的位置O^LYV=Oo%Pt[J*k。

For /倒e/, it is in the middle of your mouth.

发/倒e/音时，舌头在嘴巴的中间位置PVh0U,8@7g+。

For /半圆o/, it is in the back of your mouth.

发/半圆o/音时，舌头在嘴巴的后部3dEQ.6vU1.,^PsWef|m^。

I'll give you some more examples.
