聽懂老外聊生活英語對話 社交 46：還是寫信
情境導(dǎo)讀
Cherry在給媽媽寫信，Jane認為發(fā)電郵更方便，Cherry告訴她寫信而不用電郵的原因。
英語情景會話
(以下C代表Cherry.J代表Jane)
J: Hi, Cherry, what're you doing now?
C: I'm writing a letter to my mother. I wanna tell her about the score I got this semester.
J: So why don't you use e-mail? You see, it's faster and more convenient. You don't have
to use any paper and you don't need to worry about spelling mistakes. It has more advantages.
C: You're right. But my mother is not very good at computer things. I taught her before, but she doesn't like to use computer and forget it soon.
J: Maybe you should keep on teaching her. Finally she can leam it.
C: Yeah. maybe. But my mom likes reading my letters much more. We write every week and
she said when she saw my letter she felt that I'm standing in front of her. This is the feeling e-mail can not bring to her. And for me, I don't think it's a waste of time.
英語筆記
1.has 弱讀時為/?z/,It has 連讀作/?t?z/。
2.advantage/?d'vɑ:nt?d?/重讀在第二個音節(jié)上。
3.此句中can 的發(fā)音弱化，讀作/k?n/。
4.of 前面是濁輔音，后面是清輔音，弱讀為/?/。
英語語音語調(diào)
of的弱讀(二)
口語中，of前面如果是濁輔音，則of/?v/的/?/常被保留。這時，如果of的后面接一個完全阻礙的清輔音，如/t/，/p/等時.of/?v/中的/v/音常會省去，只發(fā)/?/的音，如：
There are a lot of /?/ people on the square.
廣場上有很多人。
如果of后面接濁輔音，/v/音常被保留，如：
It's very kind of/?v/ you.
你真是太好了。
為了避免麻煩，在一般情況下可把of讀作/?/。
