发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Taipei /'tai'pei/ has two sound parts: the first syllable /taɪ/ rhymes with tie and Thai, and the final /peɪ/ rhymes with pay, day, may, and way. The spelling -ei in Taipei is pronounced /eɪ/ (like pay), not /aɪ/; the -ai part is pronounced /aɪ/ (like tie). Note the near-lookalike 'pie' /paɪ/ does not rhyme with the final syllable, and in the variant with -bei /beɪ/, the ending also rhymes with bay.
