【纠音笔记】工具篇：跟美坛两活宝和童鞋们分享一下字典和音标

有空写写这一年纠音以来的一些收获，供有兴趣的同学参考。

音标系统混杂，各个字典又用不同的系统，所以有时候符号特别多而怪。记得前一段美风贴出来的音标，吴曼问符号怎么那么怪，我后来看了看这个对照表，知道是因为美风用的是dictionary.com上的音标系统。

去年纠音以来，一直用小千推荐的Merriam-Webster，慢慢也就习惯了这套系统。刚才看到冰粒问really长音短音i的问题想到该推荐推荐，纠音要养成查字典的习惯，查MW最好。这里有一个webster所有音标符号和音的对照，可以打印出来随时查询：

但是象Rachel's English上讲到ing里的i和永学哥说的beer里的ee音标是短i，其实发起来是长i。另外这个短i和长i是我们延续了以前学英语的习惯，其实这两个音的区别不只是长和短。再加上有地域的区别，所以这些符号不是绝对的，甚至有时候很misleading，就需要听一听真人发音，再确定。
