Since this book was first published, in 1967, my attention has been drawn by users of it to various errors and omissions, and suggestions have been made for improving its usefulness.
自从这本书第一次出版，在r967，我的注意力已经被它的用户吸引到各种错误和遗漏，并提出了改进其有用性的建议。
In this second edition I have now remedied the errors and omisions and I have adopted those suggestions which I think improve the book.
在这第二版中，我已经纠正了错误和遗漏，并且采纳了那些我认为可以改进这本书的建议。
To all those readers whowere kind enough to write to me on these matters I offer my sincere thanks.
对于那些好心就这些问题给我写信的读者，我表示衷心的感谢。
My old readers will no doubt consider the greatest change in this edition to be the use of a different phonetic transcription, and I agree.
我的老读者无疑会认为这个版本最大的变化是使用了不同的音标，我同意。
The reason why I decided to change the transcription is this: when the book was first published I used the transcription of Daniel Jones’s English Pronouncing Dictionary(Dent), which I considered to be the bestguide to English pronunciation for foreign learners(as I still do).
我决定改变抄本的原因是：当这本书第一次出版时，我使用了丹尼尔·琼斯的英语发音词典（Dent）的抄本，我认为它是外国学习者英语发音的最佳指南（我现在仍然这样做）。

The present editor of the dictionary,A.C. Gimson, decided, rightly in my opinion, to change his transcription for the I4th edition of 1977.
在我看来，这本词典的现任编辑A.C.吉姆森决定把他的抄本改成1977的第14版，这是正确的。
This meant that my transcription no longer corresponded to any of thosefound in the major dictionaries commonly used by foreign learners.
这意味着我的抄本与外国学习者常用的主要词典中的任何一本都不相符。
I have now rectified this quite unacceptable situation by adopting the Gimson transcription which is also used in the Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English (1978) and the Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary of Current English(4th edition I98o).
我现在已经纠正了这一非常不可接受的情况，通过采用金森抄本，这也是在朗文当代英语词典（1978年）和牛津高级学习者词典的当前英语（1988年第4版）。
There have often been understandable complaints from students that different writers on English pronunciation used different transcriptions.
学生们经常抱怨不同的英语发音作者使用了不同的抄本，这是可以理解的。
It seems to me that there is at least a movement towards usinga standard transcription, namely, the one now used in this book, and this is a wholly welcome development.
在我看来，至少有一种使用标准抄本的趋势，即本书现在使用的抄本，这是一个完全受欢迎的发展。
The new transcription differs from the old only in the matter of symbols for the English vowels, and for the convenience of old readers I list both old and new forms below:
新抄本与旧抄本的区别仅在于英文元音的符号，为了方便老读者，我在下面列出了新旧两种形式：

一.Better English Pronunciation BY J.D O’Connor1980年的,是有点老RP,优点在于很全面,单个音标的训练、语调、连读、省略… 个人比较喜欢的一本教材二.Speak Easily, Accent Reduction Handbook,这本蛮新的。 图文彩色~~~ 第一张有个口腔训练把我折磨的蛮惨,有兴趣的童鞋试试吧三.Get Rid Of Your Accent中规中矩的讲元音、辅音。 特点是有什么绕口令啊什么的。。 音标有问题的可以找来瞅瞅
