It is very important to understand that the letters of the alphabet do NOT always represent the same sounds of English.非常重要的一点是，字母表中的字母并不总是代表相同的英语发音。

This page is about how we pronounce the letters of the alphabet when we “say the alphabet (ABC…)”. 本页介绍了当我们 “念字母表（ABC……）”时，字母表的字母是如何发音的。

The English word “alphabet” comes from the Greek alphabet’s first two letters: alpha, beta.英语单词 “alphabet “来自希腊字母表的前两个字母：α、β。
