Video Text:

The [i:] sound is a front vowel, which means it feels more like it comes from here, than from here, ah. ee. To make this sound, the tongue touches the roof of the mouth, and it is a little more forward than the midpoint of the tongue, and same with the roof of the mouth. Ee. So for me, its about that point that touches the roof of the mouth. Because the tongue is touching the roof of the mouth, the jaw cannot drop. Ee. And, as you notice, the sides of my mouth come out just a little bit. If that didnt happen, this is what it would look like: ee, ee. But they do: ee, ee.

[i:]是一個(gè)前元音，發(fā)這個(gè)音時(shí)舌頭要觸及上顎，觸及點(diǎn)對于舌頭和上顎來說都是它們中線靠前的位置。因?yàn)樯囝^要碰到上顎，所以下巴不能夠下移。另外，嘴角一定要稍微向兩側(cè)拉伸。
