Question問：

How many ways are there to pronounce the word "the" in the English language, and what are they?

在英語中，單詞“the”有多少種發音方式?它們是什麼?

Answer 答：

English has two different pronunciations of the word "the" (but they mean the same thing).

英語中單詞“the”有兩種不同的發音(但它們的意思是一樣的)。

The Two Pronunciations:

兩個發音:

One pronunciation is /ðə/ (it has the same vowel you hear at the very end of "ballerina").

其中一個發音是/ðə/(它與你在"ballerina" （芭蕾舞者）結尾聽到的元音相同)。

The other pronunciation is /ði/ (it has the same vowel you hear in "it").

另一個發音是/ði/(它和你在“it”中聽到的元音相同)。

When to Use Each One:

什麼時候使用它們:

The pronunciation of the word "the" depends on the first sound of the word that comes immediately after it.

單詞“The”的發音取決于緊接在它後面的單詞的第一個音。

When the word after "the" begins with a consonant sound, people usually use /ðə/.

當“the”後面的單詞以輔音開頭時，人們通常使用/ðə/。

When the word after "the" begins with a vowel sound, people usually use /ði/.

當“the”後面的單詞以元音開頭時，人們通常使用/ði/。

Below are examples of how each pronunciation is typically used.
