Video Text:

The [ε?] diphthong. This diphthong is always followed by the consonant R, and some sources leave it out altogether, as they see the schwa, the second sound in this diphthong, as not really having its own sound. They hear it more going straight from the eh to the rr. And I agree with that, however, I am putting it in because there are just too many sources that list it as its own separate diphthong. The first sound: eh as in bed, the second sound: uh as in supply, the schwa, and then always there is a third sound, and that is the rr consonant, although, the vowel is considered a diphthong (because it only has two vowel sounds).

In slow motion: eeeeehhhhhhh uuuuuuuuhhhhhhh rrrrrrrrr. So the tongue goes from being quite raised in the eh to being very neutral in the uh. Rr, the difference then is in the lips: rr, uh, rr. And also in the throat: the tongue moves back and up a little bit, uh, uh, and the sound feels more like it comes from there.

[ε?]是雙元音，它連帶著一個R音。有些研究材料認為其中的[?]并不發(fā)音，它們認為發(fā)[ε?]這個音時是直接從[e]到R音。但是還有很多資料的觀點是不同的，它們認為：第一個音是[e]，bed中的[e]；第二個音是[?]，supply中的[?]；而第三個音則是R音。

用慢動作來念[ε?]就是：eeeeehhhhhhh uuuuuuuuhhhhhhh rrrrrrrrr。舌頭的位置從發(fā)[e]音時較高的地方變化到發(fā)[?]音時較中間的地方。而R音和[?]的區(qū)別則在于唇形（注意看視頻中的演示），另外還有喉嚨處，發(fā)[?]時舌頭要略微向后并向上移動一些。
