英語情景會話
(以P代表Peter,A代表Attendant)
A: Can I help you?
P: I want to check my luggage.
P: Five.
A: Place them on the scales please. I'm sorry, sir. Your baggage is 4 kilos overweight. You have to pay extra money for it.
P: Oh, what is the limit?
A: The limit is 20 kilos per person and there's surcharge of eight dollars per kilogram on overweight baggage.
P: Can I take these two with me?
A: You're only allowed one piece of carry-on luggage. Sorry, but that's our policy. I think this one could go on as carry-on luggage if you like.
P: Oh, yes. Thank you. This is fragile. I need to carry it on.
A: So now you should pay 16 dollars.
P: Okay.
A: And please make sure there are no sharp objects in your hand luggage. This is your luggage check, which you must show when you disembarks at your destination. Enjoy your trip.
P: Thank you.
英語筆記
1.此處省略了主語和謂語,完整句子為How many pieces do you have?
2.What is the limit?意為“上限是多少?”。
3.allowed 為規(guī)則動詞allow 的過去式,allow為元音/a?/結尾,所以allowed 讀作/?'l??d/。
4.carry it on 連讀為/'kær?t?n/。
英語語音語調
規(guī)則動詞過去式詞尾-ed的發(fā)音
你聽到的allowed讀作/?'l??d/。這是遵循了規(guī)則動詞過去式發(fā)音的基本規(guī)則。具體情況如下:
1.以/t/或/d/結尾的動詞,其過去式末尾的-ed發(fā)音為額外音節(jié)/?d/,如:
wait→waited/we?t?d/
等待
2.以濁輔音結尾的動詞,其過去式末尾的-ed發(fā)音為濁輔音/d/,如:
close→closed /kl??zd/
3.以清輔音結尾的動詞,其過去式末尾的-ed發(fā)音為清輔音/t/,如:
work→worked /w?:kt/
工作
注:1.如果動詞過去式后面的單詞以元音開始,那么詞尾的-ed與后面的單詞連讀,如:
stressed out /stres ta?t/
過度緊張
cooked it /k?kt?t/
烹飪
2.如果動詞過去式后面的單詞首音與該動詞的詞尾發(fā)音相同或相似,則出現(xiàn)不完全爆破,如:
planned to /plæn(d)t?/
打算做某事
listened to /?l?sn(d)t?/
