美语发音学习笔记之二: Linking

Consonant to Vowel

句子中前一个单词的辅音和后一个单词的元音连读;特别地,t 读作 d。比如:

  • what's up -> wuh tsup
  • ten hours a day -> ten nau ər zə day
  • what is it -> wə di zit
  • I'm on the train -> ai mɔn the train

Consonant to Consonant

句子中前后两个单词的辅音构成连读,有以下几种情况:

  • 前后两个辅音相同的时候,比如:gas station -> gæ s_s tationsome might -> sə m_m ait
  • tdpbkg这六个称为stop consonant,不构成连读,比如:hot| todaybad| dogpeanut| butterflip| phone
  • f/v + w 连读,比如:five ways -> fai vw eisafeway -> sei fw eiof which -> ɔ fw hichlove one -> lʌ vw ʌn
  • TH开头或者结尾,比如:this thingwas thatsit thereof thesenorth starwith funnyboth willsouth side

Vowel to Vowel

视频讲了很多,但我觉得元音和元音之间本来就是这样,并不需要“连读”。

YOU

在句子中youj或者ch的音,比如:

  • jcould youwould you
  • chwant you

H

句子中h的音常常被省略掉,比如:

  • tell her -> te ler
  • was he there -> wʌ zi there
  • at first he never came -> at fəs ti never came
  • what have you done -> wʌ dəv ju dʌn
  • my friend has seen it twice -> mai fre dəz si ni twais
  • I saw her sister -> I saw ər sister
  • what was his name agiain -> what wə zis name again
  • I told him no -> I tou dim no

当然,只有作为helping word或者function word的时候才被省略,如果是句子的谓语则不能省略,比如:you have my wordhave 就不能省略 h
