    发音,发音方法;读法

    [count noun]similar pronunciations are heard in Ulster.
    在乌尔斯特(北爱尔兰)也可听到类似的发音。
语源
  1. late Middle English: from Latin pronuntiatio(n-), from the verb pronuntiare (see pronounce)
用法
  1. The word pronunciation is often pronounced, by analogy with pronounce, as if the second syllable rhymed with bounce. This is not correct in standard English: the standard pronunciation, prəˌnʌnsɪˈeɪʃ(ə)n, has the second syllable rhyming with dunce. The correct spelling is pronunciation, never pronounciation
