the 在元音还是辅音前看的不是元音字母还是辅音字母,面是看的是这个字母的前面音标是元音音标还是辅音音标.在university 这个单词中U 发的是JU: 由于J 是辅音音标,所以读音和辅音一样.又如hour 虽然是辅音字母开头的,但音标是元音,所以和元音的读音一样.简单的说就是看the 接的这个词的音标而不是看字母.

学习英语还是需要看英语词典的。朗文词典里the 的发音是分三种情况的。而中国传统教学里只讲了两种规则，总是忘掉第三种规则。楼上的回答只是中国教学里面的两种规则1，在辅音音标前 的发音2在元音音标的发音。 英文词典上的第三种发音规则是:重读(表强调)时发i:音，这时候不管是辅音还是元音。
