作业反馈:
1. eavesdropping sophisticated重音位置要注意
2. millionaire milk build 这种il的组合,不要噘嘴
3. Texas 不要读成taxi
4. equipment 开头元音不要重读成/i:/
弱读:
1. 为什么要弱读(reduction)?
为了保持句子的节奏,因为英语是stress-timed重音计时的语音。
2. 冠词
the /ði/ /ðə/ 重读 /ðiː/
a /ə/ 重读/eɪ/
an /ən/ 重读/æn/ (很容易跟前后连读)
练习把熟悉的词加上冠词,看有否连读 the apple, an orange...
3. that 的读法:
① 引导从句,连词 弱读/ðət /
The car that she ordered is red.
He said that he liked it.
① 限定词,指示代词 “那个” ,副词“那么” 读/ðæt/
Do you remember that girl?
Why did you do that?
No one expect it to cost that much.
4. 弱读的要点:
① 非常快,为了保证节奏
② 不能弱读:强调、句尾
③ 注意弱读后有连读
④ 无需特别记忆,熟悉最常见的弱读形式,句型
⑤ 需要刻意练习(因为很难自然掌握弱读和连读)
