英语发音技巧:
1、 以辅音结尾的单词+元音开头的单词:
如:(1)I’d li(ke a)nother bow(l o)f rice. 这里like / laik / 以辅音结尾,another 以元音开头,所以连读;(2)We have an English friend. 这个句子有两处连读:前一处是have的尾辅音/v/与an的开头元音//连读为/v/;后一处是an的尾辅音/n/与English的开头音素/i/连读为/ni/。举例:I’m~an~English boy. It~is~an~old book. Let me have~a look~at~it.
Ms Black worked in~an~office last~yesterday. I called~you half~an~hour~ago.
Put~it~on, please. Not~at~all. Please pick~it~up.
注意: 以辅音结尾 指的是音标中的最后一个音是辅音,而不是单词的结尾,这如同u[ju:.]niversity前面的定冠词必须用a 一样。
2、以辅音结尾的单词 + h开头的单词h不发音,与前面的辅音连读
what wil(l he) [wili]do? Ha(s he) done it before? Mus(t he) [ti] go?Can he do it? Should he….?Tell him to ask her…. Lea(ve him) [vim]. For him (连读这个词,会发现和forum 很相似)
3、以-r或-re字母结尾的单词+元音开头的单词时,可将/r/与后面的元音拼读。
如:They looked for it here and there.这个句子也有两处连读:前一处是for it合读为/frit/,后一处是here and合读为/hirnd/。 举例:They’re my father~and mother. I looked for~it here~and there. There~is a football under~it. There~are some books on the desk. Here~is a letter for you. Here~are four~eggs. But where~is my cup? Where~are your brother~and sister?
注意,如果一个音节的前后都有字母r,即使后面的词以元音开头,也不能连读。 The black clouds are coming nearer and nearer.(nearer与and不可连读)
