英語筆記
1.do 用在動詞前表示強調(diào)。此處加在have 前強調(diào)“確實有”。發(fā)音時也應該重讀。
2.弱化現(xiàn)象。for 弱化為/f?/，us 弱化/?s/，for us 連讀為/f?r?s/。
3.be on sale 是指“廉價出售”。
4.音的濁化現(xiàn)象。better/'bet?/，實際讀音中近似于/'bed?/。
英語語音語調(diào)
如果清輔音/t/在非重讀音節(jié)中，且前后都有元音，則該輔音常會濁化，讀音近似于濁輔音/d/。比如：
I think it is better to have a bottle of champagne.
我覺得最好買瓶香檳。
better /'bet?/口語中發(fā)音接近/'bed?/。
bottle /'b?tl/口語中發(fā)音接近/'b?dl/。
The yellow sweater looks very nice.
達件黃毛衣看起來很漂亮。
sweater/?swet?/口語中發(fā)音接近/?swed?/。
You will know the fact soon or later.
你遲早會知道真相。
later/'le?t?/口語中發(fā)音接近/'le?d?/。
