　　英語筆記

　　1.此處為 I am 的縮略形式，讀作/ɑ?m/。

　　2.of 弱讀為/?v/，full of 連讀后讀作/f? l?v/。

　　3.come on 發(fā)生音變，讀作/km?n/。

　　英語語音語調(diào)

　　be動詞現(xiàn)在時的弱化

　　你聽到的I'm pooped一句中的am采用了弱讀形式。 be動詞中的am，is，are都有自己的強(qiáng)讀和弱讀形式。在非強(qiáng)調(diào)和口語中，be動詞一般弱讀。具體情況如下：

　　1.am強(qiáng)讀為/æm/，弱讀為/?m/或/m/，如：

　　I'm/ɑ?m/ a student.

　　我是學(xué)生。

　　What am I/wɑt?mɑ?/ doing?

　　我在做什么啊?

　　2.is強(qiáng)讀為/?z/，弱讀為/s/(常位于/p/，/t/，/k/，/f/，/θ/后，其他情況讀/z/)。

　　注：/s/與/z/的發(fā)音不啦現(xiàn)在/s/、/z/、/?/、/t?/、/?/、/d?/之后。如：

　　Her hat's /hæts/ good.

　　她的帽子不錯。

　　The money's /'m?n?z/ not mine.

　　這錢不是我的。

　　3.are 強(qiáng)讀為/ɑ:/，弱讀為/?/，如：

　　They're /ðe??/ there.

　　他們在那兒。
