網友K問:

字母Z幾時都讀Z音(例如 zebra,zoo),一看就知怎樣讀。但字母S有時讀S(assign),有時讀Z(design)。有規則可循嗎?

對不起,沒有。字母S有時讀S,有時讀Z,單看串字根本沒法知道讀音。

看到 assign 和 resign 兩字,串法相近,讀音也不會差得遠吧? 錯了,原來前者讀 S,後者讀 Z。Assist 和 resist 呢? Assist 讀 S,resist 讀 Z。Insist 又怎樣? 讀 S。可說是全無規則可言。要知道字母S的正確讀音,唯有逐隻字查字典。

幸好,字母S讀Z音的情況不多。我最近搜集了一些讀Z音的常用字,大家記著就可以:

1. Easy

2. Busy

3. Music

4. Husband

5. Visit

6. Design

7. Reason

8. Season

9. Result

10. Desire

11. Resist

12. Business

13. President

14. Position

15. Reserve

16. Preserve

17. Presume

18. Resolve

19. Resent

20. Cuisine

21. 所有 ~ise 或 ~ize 字尾的動詞:realise,utilise,critcize,etc

22. 所有 ~ism 字尾的字:realism,utilitarianism,criticism,etc

23. 還有部份 ~se 字尾的動詞:abuse,accuse,amuse,please,arise,refuse 等等。

24. 一系列文法字:is,was,does,those,these,whose,his,has

不肯定時,唯有查字典了。

  • ya, the "e" of the word "design" is "short /i/"

  • Well, I don't totally agree with you here, since I was born in Canada and we say design like "thezign" instead of you saying "deezign"

    just my 2 cents :)

  • A good clip!!!!!!

  • how about words like realise and realize? does it mean that the americans are speaking it wrongly?

  • Great explanation, Can be really helpful to a lot of ppl! good job
