你做什么工作
职业词汇、a/an、What do you do? / Where do you work?；发音 /ʌ/ 与 /ɑː/。
🗣️ 发音
| 音标 | 怎么发 | 例词 |
|---|---|---|
| /ʌ/ | 嘴巴半开、放松，短促（像轻声「啊」） | cup, but, company, mother |
| /ɑː/ | 嘴巴张大，声音拉长 | car, father, start, job 美音常 /ɑː/ |
对比：cup /kʌp/ vs carp /kɑːp/；本课词 company /ˈkʌmpəni/、job。
跟读：What do you do? I work at a company.
📐 语法
问职业
- What do you do? → I'm a teacher. / I work at a hospital.
- Where do you work? → I work in Shanghai. / I work at ByteDance.
说明：现在先记固定问答；do 的变化以后系统学。答案里继续用 be + a/an + 职业。
a / an（不定冠词）
- a + 辅音开头：a teacher, a doctor, a company
- an + 元音开头（a/e/i/o/u 的音）：an engineer, an artist, an office
看读音不看字母：an hour（hour 开头是元音音）；a university（university 开头是 /j/）。
