Lesson51 Rewardfor virtue
Myfriend, Hugh, has always been fat, but things got so bad recently that hedecided to go on a diet. He began his diet a week ago. First of all, he wroteout a long list of all the foods which were forbidden. The list included mostof the things Hugh loves: butter, potatoes, rice, beer, milk, chocolate, andsweets. Yesterday I paid him a visit. I rang the bell and was not surprised tosee that Hugh was still as fat as ever. He ledme into his room and hurriedly hid a large parcel under his desk. It was obvious that hewas very embarrassed. When I asked him what he was doing, he smiled guiltilyand then put the parcel on the desk. He explainedthat his diet was so strict that he had to reward himselfoccasionally. Then he showed me the contents of the parcel.It contained five large barsof chocolate and three bags of sweets!

现在来看看我们应该如何正确的发出/ʒ/这个音。
[if !supportLists]1. [endif]1）双唇略微向前突出，略成长方形。
[if !supportLists]2. [endif]2）将舌端抬起，靠近齿龈后部，但不要贴住。
[if !supportLists]3. [endif]3）舌身抬起，靠近上腭，形成狭长的通道，气流通过通道时摩擦，同时声带震动发声。
注意：/ʒ/是个浊辅音，发音时只有微弱气流泻出，这是一个较难发准的音，要注意声带的震动。
