ou双元音
规则核心
ou 双元音在英语中最常见的读音是 /aʊ/，由开口元音 /a/ 平滑滑向半元音 /ʊ/。拼写上由 o+u 组合而成，发音时声音连续、不分断。该规则常出现在非重读或词中位置，如 about。
发音指南
舌位先低后高，口型从大开到略收圆，气流持续向外，声带振动自然完成滑动。
词例解析
about /əˈbaʊt/：ou 承担核心音值。account /əˈkaʊnt/ 与 accountant /əˈkaʊntənt/ 中，ou 稳定读 /aʊ/，前缀 a- 常弱化为 /ə/。
避坑指南
不要把 ou 读成 /oʊ/；注意它不同于 ow 的拼写但读音可相同。
拼读分解
张口发 /a/，顺势收口滑向 /ʊ/，一气呵成
发音类比
- 先夸张张口再收口，体会滑动感
- 结合重音位置判断 ou 的音值
Common Mistakes
将 ou 误读为 /oʊ/
忽略前缀 a- 的弱读
