希腊24个字母读音 以及在单词中读音Αα Alpha 现代希腊语发音 [a], as in father. Same as [a] in Spanish and Italian. Phonetically, this sound is: open, central, and unrounded. 古希腊语发音 As in Modern Greek Ββ Beta现代希腊语发音 [v], as in vet; a voiced labiodental fricative. 古希腊语发音 , as in bet; a voiced bilabial plosive. Γγ Gamma现代希腊语发音 [gh], a sound that does not exist in English. If followed by the sound then it sounds almost like the initial sound in woman, but with the back of the tongue touching more to the back (soft) palate. To pronounce [gha], try to isolate w from what without rounding your lips, and then say [a]. In Castilian Spanish this sound exists in amiga. Same is true for [gho]: try eliminating the sound from water. (C. Spanish: amigo.) On the other hand, due to a phonetic phenomenon called palatalization, [ghe] sounds a bit like ye in yes, and [ghi] sounds a bit like yi in yield. Phonetically, gamma is a voiced velar fricative. (Its palatalized version is a voiced palatal fricative.) 古希腊语发音 [g], as in got; a voiced velar plosive. Δδ Delta现代希腊语发音 [th], as in this; a voiced dental fricative. 古希腊语发音 [d], as in do; a voiced alveolar plosive. Εε Epsilon 现代希腊语发音 [e] as in pet, except that the [e] in pet (and in most other English words) is lax, while in Greek it is tense. 古希腊语发音 As in Modern Greek Ζζ Zeta 现代希腊语发音 [z], as in zone, a voiced alveolar fricative. Actually, the remark for sigma (see below) applies to zeta as well (it is shifted a bit towards [Z], as in pleasure). 古希腊语发音 [zd], as in Mazda. Also: [z], and even: [dz]. Ηη Eta 现代希腊语发音 , as in meet, but shorter, not so long. This is one of the three in the Greek alphabet; they all have identical pronunciation. The reason for this redundancy has to do with Classic Greek, where they were not redundant. 古希腊语发音 long open mid-[e], as in thread (but long). Θθ Theta 现代希腊语发音 [th], as in think; a voiceless dental fricative. In Castilian Spanish: zorro. 古希腊语发音 [th], as in top, but more aspirated. Ι
