发音纠错汇总

如果说语言学习的第一要义是交流本身，那么纠正发音的目的就在于拉近自身与 native speaker 的差距，虽然不可避免地对第二语言的学习者来说几乎不可能完全掌握第二语言的完全要义，但是避免交流障碍终归是好的。

一直想要总结一下遇到的各种计算机领域的 term 和 acronym 及其发音，但心想遇到的不多，也就无心整理，当然自己懒是主要原因。直到遇到了 非主流程序员的自我修养 一文，才觉得确实有整理一下的必要了，下述词汇均从上文给出的列表进行整理。

点击每个单词标题可进入正规发音的来源页面，摘要为来源页面中涉及发音的摘录。发音来源尽可能提供官方解释，在无法 / 难以找到官方发音的情况下提供英文版 wikipedia 或 Cambridge Dictionary 的词条结果。存疑 / 争议词汇如 exposé 则链接到开发者 / 爱好者社区相关讨论帖。本文长期不定期更新，如有疏漏或你认为值得提出的词汇，不妨在评论区发帖或与我电邮联系。很惭愧，就做了一点微小的工作，希望对广大发音不标准的程序员有所帮助。
