　　英語(yǔ)筆記

　　1.此處說(shuō)話人說(shuō)的話比較長(zhǎng)，應(yīng)該根據(jù)語(yǔ)調(diào)判斷何時(shí)輪到第二個(gè)人說(shuō)話。

　　2.don't get your bowels in an uproar 是指“別大驚小怪”。

　　3.此處do 重讀，表示強(qiáng)調(diào)。

　　4.learn 中的/n/與it 中的/?/連讀，learn it 讀作/l?:?n?t/。

　　英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)音語(yǔ)調(diào)

　　語(yǔ)調(diào)的暗示——該你說(shuō)話

　　英語(yǔ)中，語(yǔ)調(diào)除了表示疑問(wèn)了、驚訝等語(yǔ)氣和情感之外，還起到暗示聽(tīng)話人應(yīng)該何時(shí)說(shuō)話的作用。因此，在交流過(guò)程中，一定要注意聽(tīng)清對(duì)方的語(yǔ)調(diào)，這樣能幫助你意識(shí)到何時(shí)輪到你說(shuō)話了，避免發(fā)生“搶了別人的話”的情況。具體規(guī)則如下：

　　1.如果在一個(gè)意群后，說(shuō)話人的音調(diào)完全降了下來(lái)，說(shuō)明這個(gè)意群很可能就是最后一個(gè)意群，說(shuō)話人很有可能就此打住。如：

　　I can't understand↘.

　　我不明白。

　　2.如果在一個(gè)意群后聽(tīng)到音調(diào)只降了一半，那就可能不是最后一個(gè)意群，說(shuō)話人可能要轉(zhuǎn)向其他方面或準(zhǔn)備進(jìn)行“長(zhǎng)篇大論竹.有時(shí)說(shuō)話人還會(huì)在降調(diào)中途稍稍將語(yǔ)調(diào)提高，表示“還有下文”。如：

　　I can't understand↘ why↗ he did it.

　　我不明白他為什么那樣做。
