　　英語筆記

　　1.moved 為move 的過去時，與in 連讀為/mu:v d?n/.

　　2.此處出現(xiàn)了多個單詞連讀的現(xiàn)象，still in a bit of 連讀為/st? l? n? b? t?v/。

　　3.house-warming party 是指“暖房派對”，即“慶祝喬遷宴會”。

　　4.此處出現(xiàn)弱讀現(xiàn)象，for 弱讀為/f?/.

　　英語語音語調(diào)

　　for的讀法

　　口語中，I'd be up for that中的for弱讀為/f?/，這是根據(jù)介詞for在句子中位置的不同而采取了不同的讀法。具體情況如下：

　　1.在句首，強讀為/f?:/，如：

　　For /f?:/, this job is a piece of cake.

　　對我來說，這份工作就是小菜一碟。

　　2.在句末，強讀為/f?:/，如：

　　What are you looking for /f?:/?

　　3.在句子中間，如果for的下一個單詞以輔音開頭，則弱讀為/f?/，如：

　　The knife is used for /f?/ repairing.

　　4.如果for的下一個單詞以元音開頭，則弱讀為/f?/，并加輔助音/r/與下一個元音連讀，如：

　　The boy has waited here for a/f?r?/ day.

　　那個男孩在這兒等了一天了。
