由于区域和背景差异,人们说话的口音各不相同,但是让人高兴的是西班牙语有严格的发音规则可循。
The good news about Spanish pronunciation is that it obeys clear phonetic rules, although people do speak with different accents, depending on their region and background.

c 和z 的发音
The famous Castilian lisp, that sounds like the English “th”in thick , is applied to ce , ci and z . You find it in centro , plaza and in names like Cibeles and Preciados . Latin American and southern Spanish speakers, though, pronounce these sounds as an ''s''.
著名的Castilian 人发音不清,听起来和英语中的“th”在单词thick 中的发音,该规则适用于ce , ci 和z 。例如centro , plaza ,还有Cibeles 和Preciados 等人名。但是拉丁美洲和西班牙南部的居民的发音听起来更像英语发音“s”。
When c is followed by the other vowels it's always a hard “k” sound, as in calle , Cuenca , Colombia .
