pronounce

Compared meaning: say something, or pronounce a word's sound (verb).

比较义项：说出（表达内容，或读出词语的发音）（v.）。

• say

  The general, all-purpose verb for expressing any content in words — statements, questions, opinions — with no focus on how the sounds themselves are articulated.

  最通用的“说”，可以表达任何内容——陈述、提问、意见等——并不关注音是怎么发出来的。

  Did she say what time the meeting starts?

  她说会议几点开始了吗？

• pronounce 本词

  Refers specifically to how a word or sound is articulated — correctly, clearly, or in a certain way — and is typically used with individual words, names, or sounds rather than whole statements.

  专指某个词或音是怎样发出来的——是否正确、清楚，或以某种方式——通常用于单个单词、姓名或音素，而不是整句话。

  Non-native speakers often struggle to pronounce the 'th' sound in English.

  非母语者常常很难读准英语里的“th”这个音。

Both words mean to express something in speech. Say is the general word for any spoken content — statements, questions, opinions. Pronounce means to speak a word's sound correctly, used with words or names. Not compared: say meaning 'suppose', or pronounce meaning 'announce officially'.

这两个词都可以表示“用话语说出”，但侧重不同：say 是最通用的“说”，可以表达任何内容（陈述、提问、意见等）；pronounce 专指按某种方式“读出”一个词或音（是否清楚、正确），常用于单词、姓名或音标。这里不比较 say 的“假设”义（比如 let's say）或 pronounce 的“宣判、宣布”义（如法官 pronounce judgment）。
