"一个由两个元音组成的音节,发音为一个音节,"15世纪末, diptonge,源自晚期拉丁语 diphthongus,源自希腊语 diphthongos,意为"有两个声音",源自 di-,意为"双倍"(源自 PIE 词根 *dwo-,意为"两个")+ phthongos,意为"声音,音调",与 phthengesthai 相关,意为"发出声音,声音,提高声音,呼叫,交谈",Beekes 报告称其"没有确定的词源学。与语义上可比较的现有词汇的任何联系在语音上都不令人信服。"相关: Diphthongal; diphthongization。
In uttering a proper diphthong both vowels are pronounced; the sound is not simple, but the two sounds are so blended as to be considered as forming one syllable, as in joy, noise, bound, out. An "improper" diphthong is not a diphthong at all, being merely a collocation of two or more vowels in the same syllable, of which only one is sounded, as ea in breach, eo in people, ai in rain, eau in beau. [Century Dictionary]
在发出一个正确的双元音时,两个元音都要发音; 这个音不是简单的,但两个音的融合被认为是一个音节,如 joy, noise, bound, out 中所示。一个"不正确的"双元音根本不是双元音,只是两个或更多元音在同一个音节中的排列,其中只有一个元音发音,如 ea 中的 breach, eo 中的 people, ai 中的 rain, eau 中的 beau。[世纪词典]
