英語筆記
1.some 的弱化,讀作/s?m/。
2.or 的弱化。連讀為/k?fi?ti:/。
3.注意 thin/θ?n/與thing/θ??/讀音的區(qū)別。
4.dessert “甜點”與 desert “沙漠”形似,注意兩個詞之間的區(qū)別。
英語語音語調(diào)
容易混淆的/n/與/?/
/n/與/?/在發(fā)音時很難區(qū)分:發(fā)/?/時,舌后抬起貼住軟腭,軟腭下垂;而發(fā)/n/音時,舌尖緊貼上齒齦,形成阻塞,這時音標類似于漢語中的前后鼻音。如:
thin/θ?n/薄的—thing/θ??/事情
gone/ɡ?n/去—gong/ɡ??/鑼
lawn/l?:n/草坪—long/l??/長的
son/s?n/兒子—song/s??/歌曲
