@Phil's answer is a much better explanation of the phonetics than I could give, but I have a small correction about "Beauty and the Beast." It's titled that way because "Beauty" is the proper name of the character. "The Beast" takes an article because "Beast" is his title. It's the same structure as the title of the movie "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves," and the book and movie "Anna and the King of Siam."

The transcriptions in both dictionaries indicate the same pronunciation. The MWD uses a phonetic alphabet that is not the IPA (note the backslashes instead of regular slashes). The MWD phonetic transcription is based on English spelling conventions (phonics). It’s very intuitive for native speakers, but not necessarily useful for non-natives. Here’s the key: https://www.merriam-webster.com/assets/mw/static/pdf/help/guide-to-pronunciation.pdf The Longman dictionary shows both non-rhotic and rhotic pronunciations. Although rhotic is considered standard in American English, you may hear non-rhotic pronunciation in some east coast accents. By the way, next time, you may want to include the actual links. “Beauty and the Beast” is the title of a story, originally in French. Honestly, I have no idea why the definite article was omitted in the English version. It may just be an example of what we could call “title style” (ignoring proper grammar in the name of brevity).

I can only help in IPA, but its pretty similar: [ɚ] IPA = [əɹ] certain transcriptions. [ˈfiʧɚ] in rhotic varieties (most) [ˈfiʧə(ː)] in non-rhotic varieries

And for the word dictionary Webster dictionay: dic·​tio·​nary | \ ˈdik-shə-ˌner-ē Longman dictionary: dic‧tion‧a‧ry /ˈdɪkʃənəri $ -neri/ baidu dictionary: [ˈdɪkʃəneri] There are different syllabification for this word dictionary and different pronunciation for a in the word dictionary.

Thank u bill Holt. Could u give me another example that includes the same pronunciation with ea in the word feature?
