英語筆記

1.make an appointment 是指“預約”，后面可以接with sb.。

2.這里出現(xiàn)了清輔音向濁輔音變化的現(xiàn)象，/t/的發(fā)音類似于/d/。

3.do you 連讀時do 的元音省略不讀，連讀為/dju:/，混音后讀作/d?u:/。

4.soft 形容詞加en 變?yōu)橄鄳?yīng)的動詞，類似的詞還有deepen, broaden, weaken 等。

英語語音語調(diào)

wait a moment——清輔音向濁輔音變化

/t/是清輔音，/d/是相應(yīng)的濁輔音。當/t/后面的音為元音，并與該元音組成非重讀音節(jié)時，其發(fā)音類似于/d/。但實際上這個音不是/d/，而是此/d/輕得多的音，只需舌尖向/t/的位置輕輕一觸即可。

如：

Have you got a minute?

你有時間嗎?

What is he going to say at the meeting?

他在會議上準備說什么?

Let's start out with it first.

我們先做這件事吧。
