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 tation
,some might
->sə m_m ait
。 t
,d
,p
,b
,k
,g
这六个称为stop consonant,不构成连读,比如:hot| today
,bad| dog
,peanut| butter
,flip| phone
。- f/v + w 连读,比如:
five ways
->fai vw ei
,safeway
->sei fw ei
,of which
->ɔ fw hich
,love one
->lʌ vw ʌn
。 - TH开头或者结尾,比如:
this thing
,was that
,sit there
,of these
,north star
,with funny
,both will
,south 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you
有j
或者ch
的音,比如:
j
:could you
,would you
。ch
:want 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 word
中 have
就不能省略 h
。
