01:15
When this vowel is in a stressed word
21

2519
當重讀的字或
01:17
or syllable, like ‘fix’, it has an up-down

音節,像是Fix「fɪks」,他會呈曲線

4340
讓我們來比較一下在上方重讀的「ɪ」,Fix「fɪks」,
01:57
the top, to the unstressed IH in ‘office’.
31
117100
4320
和在下方非重讀的「ɪ」,office「ɔːfɪs」。
02:01
Notice that the jaw is more dropped for
32
121420

33
124100
2540
會更下垂一點。

unstressed IH, the jaw is less dropped.

shorter, so there isn’t as much time to
36

Stressed IH: fix, IH
