今天，让我们一起探索家庭的声音：/倒er/音%.G;~Nmx;p。（注: 此写法为便于编辑，正确写法见视频）

The /倒er/ sound is complicated, because it is like a mix of the /倒e/vowel sound, sometimes called the schwa, and the /r/ sound.

/倒er/的音很复杂，因为它像/倒e/音（中元音）和 /r/音的结合n1scuHZkY9tPMEll。

It is a mid central vowel, like the /倒e/ vowel sound, and your tongue curls back slightly, like in the /r/ consonant sound.

就像/倒e/音一样它是一个中间的元音，你的舌头稍微向后卷曲，就像辅音/r/的发音一样]AqWA&TgA|Oy。

But to be clear, /倒er/ is a single sound.

但是说清楚，/倒er/是单独的一个音eVlG(P4O)!Xj。

When I said that /倒er/ is a mid-central vowel sound, I meant that your tongue should be in the middle and central position in your mouth.

我说/倒er/是一个中间音，我是说你的舌头要放在嘴巴里中心的位置pXSK;K2nmBa|SL。

The tip of your tongue should be curled and pulled back slightly.

The good news is this: /倒er/ has some common spelling patterns that are easy to remember.

好消息是，/倒er/有一些比较好记的常见拼写模式fQn0yfnOweC。

The basic pattern is this: vowel plus the letter "r" .

基本模式是元音加上字母r3[,eKkBhdp~。

Here are some examples.

请看一些示例cD3VOR%%n8-Wmh。

Or it could be spelled with the letters "-ur-" as in: occur, jury.

或者也可以是字母组合“-ur-”，比如occur发生，jury陪审团c5ZUZy_7Y=h。

And in some cases, it can have an "-ear-" spelling as in earth, learn.

在某些情况下，字母组合“-ear-”也会发/倒er/音，比如earth地球， learn学习7nSEKpKjZGs(o。
