The [ʌ] sound. This is a vowel sound, a back vowel, which means it feels like it's coming from here in the throat, uh. It's very related to the [ɑ:] sound, the only difference being: ah, the jaw drops more. Uh is actually the sound that we use when we are thinking: uuuuhhhhhh... So as you can see, in American English it is an extremely neutral sound. To make this sound, the jaw drops just a bit and the tongue rests in the bottom of the mouth with the tip of the tongue touching the bottom teeth in the back. Uh, uh. Very neutral, very simple sound.

[ʌ]是一個元音，是後元音，意思是這個音感覺像是從喉嚨這裏發出來的。它與[ɑ:]音非常接近，唯一的區別是：發ah時，下巴下移得更多。Uh實際上是我們在思考時發出的那個音：uuuuhhhhhh... 所以你可以發現，在美式英語中，它是一個極其含糊的音。發這個音時，下巴只需略微下移，舌頭放在口腔下部，舌尖輕觸下排牙齒的後面。Uh, uh. 非常含糊簡單的一個音。

The [ɑ:] sound. The jaw drops more on this sound than it does on any other vowel sound. Ah, ah. And as you can see, the tongue is laying there on the bottom of the mouth. Ah. So, the jaw drops here, make the sound, ah: pretty basic, simple, and straightforward.

發[ɑ:]這個音時，下巴比任何一個其他元音下移得更多。Ah, ah. 如你所見，舌頭平放在口腔下部。Ah. 下巴移到這裏來發這個音，ah。非常的基本、簡單且明瞭。
