　　英語筆記

　　1.ground 的尾音/d/消失。

　　2.opposed to 中兩個爆破音相遇，前一個爆破音要失爆。

　　3.因為Lily 也很挑剔，所以Susan 說她們倆“半斤八兩”，“彼此彼此”。

　　4.cold noodles 在這里指“朝鮮冷面”。

　　英語語音語調

　　尾音的消失

　　如果句尾單詞的詞尾是輔音，那么這個輔音讀得比較輕或不發(fā)音。如：

　　I like pop music. music的讀音本該是/'mju:z?k/，但由于它在句末，所以幾乎聽不到/k/這個音。

　　再如：dog，cat，stop等詞位于句尾時，其尾音也會消失。

　　但要注意，尾音的消失并不意味著這個音根本不發(fā)，而是要有發(fā)音準備，稍作停頓，但不出聲。
