    In modern RP, /e/ and /ɛ/ are for all intends and purposes merged. The vowel in "bed" is higher than [ɛ] and the vowel in "may" is lower than [e], This merged vowel roughly equals the Spanish "e" which neither corresponds to the cardinal [e] nor to the cardinal [ɛ]. For the transcription of British English, it has therefore become convention to transcribe the vowels in both, "bed" and "may", as /e/.

  • 非常好,谢谢!

  • Just a comment on notation. /e/ is not the vowel you are pronouncing. /e/ occurs only in glides in English, which one might transcribe /ej/ or /ei/, as in the word "may." The symbol for the vowel you are pronouncing is called epsilon.

  • made my homework easier :D thanks man
