　　英語筆記

　　1.完整句子應(yīng)為"It is better to take the subway." 為達(dá)到簡(jiǎn)潔凝練的效果，省略"It is"。

　　2.to 在這里弱讀作/t?/。

　　3.這里指一種票價(jià)，換乘不必要額外購票。

　　4.don't 后面接輔音，t 不發(fā)音。

　　5.peak hours 指“高峰期”。

　　英語語音語調(diào)

　　to的弱讀

　　口語中.to在重點(diǎn)強(qiáng)調(diào)的情況下讀作/tu:/一般情況下讀作/t?/;to的后面如果接輔音，還可讀作/d?/;但當(dāng)to用在句末

　　時(shí)，讀作/tu/。如：

　　Where are you going to/tu/?

　　你去哪兒?

　　It's not easy to/t?/ read all these books one day.

　　一天內(nèi)讀完這些書不太容易。

　　Would you like to/t?/ open the door for me?

　　你能幫我把門打開嗎?

　　Tell me how to/d?/ start this program，please.

　　請(qǐng)告訴我怎樣著手展開這項(xiàng)工作。
