<p>In the song Lan Ting Xu by Jay Chou it features the line:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>忙不迭 千年碑易拓卻難拓妳的美</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Here 拓 should, by all acounts, be read 「ta」in the context. Yet, in the song he can be heard reading it as「tuo」almost twice in a row. It can be heard in his <a href="https://youtu.be/s5Xl5MXboas?si=mWoh34-kf8XEKYm3&amp;t=42" rel="nofollow noreferrer">music video</a> at about 0:42.</p>

I think most people, as well as him and the lyric writer, know that 拓 should be pronounced as 「ta」here,  but it does not rhyme well with the rest of the lyric, so they decided to go for the other pronunciation of 拓 instead.

In the song Lan Ting Xu by Jay Chou it features the line:

> 忙不迭 千年碑易拓卻難拓妳的美

Here 拓 should, by all acounts, be read 「ta」in the context. Yet, in the song he can be heard reading it as「tuo」almost twice in a row. It can be heard in his [music video](https://youtu.be/s5Xl5MXboas?si=mWoh34-kf8XEKYm3&t=42) at about 0:42.

At first I just assumed this was a Guoyu variant pronunciation. But, looking at [MoE Dict](https://www.moedict.tw/%E6%8B%93) and [Liang'an](https://www.moedict.tw/%7E%E6%8B%93), this does not seem to be the case.

Perhaps he just didn't know what Vincent Fang meant.

Ideas?

Pop music may be open-minded about correct pronunciation, but Jay Chou aka 周董 is super serious in Chinese culture and producing Chinese cultural music.

拓展的发音是【tuo zhan】

一个字在不同的语境中可以有不同的发音，详情见关于`卒`的介绍 <https://chinese.stackexchange.com/a/59190/36261>

如果你打算通过听周杰伦的歌来练习中文听力，我只能说你是走在错误的道路上，如果你想练习中文听力，应该通过听中国官方媒体主持人的发音，比如CCTV，中文国际等，这些播音主持人的发音很标准

凡是你听到周杰伦歌曲的发音和普通话不一致，都是周杰伦自己发音的问题。

周杰伦唱歌有一个很大的特定：吐字不清，如果你不理解吐字不清是什么意思的话，可以理解为发音有问题，说的不是普通话。

周杰伦的歌曲当作娱乐，听听就好，不必较真。

In Taiwan, we usually pronounce it as ㄊㄨㄛˋ in 拓印， though it's incorrect.

If you've ever visited Taiwan, you'll notice that we do not really care for the pronunciation of some words (as long as one's not a Mandarin teacher).
