　　英語筆記

　　1.it中的/t/在爆破音/b/前失去爆破，/t/不發(fā)音。

　　2.此處應(yīng)用雙降調(diào)。

　　3.注意acute/??kju:t/(敏銳的)和cute/?kju:t/(可愛的)讀音的區(qū)別。

　　4.“下象棋”，此處chess前不需加定冠詞the。

　　英語語音語調(diào)

　　雙降調(diào)

　　1.帶有yes和no的簡略回答要用雙降調(diào)，如：

　　J：Are you interested in it?

　　你有興趣嗎?

　　M：Yes↘, I am↘.

　　是的，有興趣。

　　2.主語在前、從句在后的句子也可用雙降調(diào)，語氣肯定，如：

　　I learned to play it↘ when I was at high school↘.

　　我高中的時候就學(xué)象棋了。

　　3.對提問把握很大的反意疑問句要用雙降調(diào)，如：

　　It will be very exciting for us to meet our match↘, won't it↘?

　　我們棋逢對手一定會很有意思的，不是嗎?
