(2) th位于词尾(或音节之尾)时,其读音多数是清辅音θ,如:bath, breath, tooth, 等。只有在少数单词中,如:with, smooth 中读浊音ð。
(3) th在词中并且后面接er时,或者最后一个字母是不发音的e时,通常也发浊辅音ð。例如:feather, weather, whether, leather, further, father, bathe, breathe, southern, northern, either等。在其他情况下发清辅音θ。例如:author, faithful, method, nothing, anything, healthy, wealthy。
试读下列单词: mother, father, another, brother, health, wealth
